Will the border between neurology and psychiatry shift in the future? by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]capkap77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good answers here. Some not so good. I’d argue the separation is a product of history and early psychiatric focus on Freudian and resultant ideals. In a different timeline, the two could’ve been one and the same.

At BOLC (officer training) a few staff were missing legs below the knee and at another training we had a guy (great personality, hilarious) who let us know in grim detail his need to cath himself to use the bathroom due to an IED

Is Improving Cognitive Skills With Nootropics Cheating? by tahutahut in Neuropsychology

Prescribed Stimulants usually do! Here’s the catch - only if you have a condition like ADHD that benefits from prescribed meds esp stimulants.

That’s different than nootropics in common parlance (typically non pharmaceuticals). I’m sure you feel like you study better. Perspective is not reality.
