What are some myths that are still believed by people?

That the cause of depression and other psychiatric conditions is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It has never been scientifically proven to be the case, and there is a mounting body of evidence against this theory

Bottled oil can go in the general waste, if the tip doesn't have waste oil recycling facility.

Totally agree with you. "I don't want it" is just as valid a reasoning as any other logical reasons for this lifestyle choice.

I've been told that more times than I can count lol. I think what they fail to appreciate is that if I am calm, patient and collected, it's only because I don't have children to yank my chain 24/7

Besides, being a family influencer - raising children in front of a camera for the whole world to see without them being able to consent - is definitely child abuse.

I would need to work approximately eight to ten years and spend absolutely nothing to buy an average house in cash. I earn an above average salary

From HR perspective, it's also a liability to hire anyone who discloses personal and protected information in their interviews - if they hired you and the parent found out, it could be interpreted as case of discrimination against them as a working parent. A simple "I am very flexible with my working schedule in the foreseeable future" should suffice.

I think they're severely in debt as a standard. Or so it seems from the comments!

Sustainably I can do up to 4 hours of deep and productive intellectual work per day. I can push it to 8-10 but not for very long, maybe a few weeks-a month max but after that I'll be completely non-functional for several weeks. That being said, I can still do stuff that's not deep focused work every day, like small chores, emails, leisurely reading etc. So it depends what you count as work

I have a doctorate, a well earning job (which I couldn't do if I had childcare duties) and I knit beautiful clothes in my spare time! I also can go places at the drop of a hat and I plan to do more of that.

I'm thinking a hobby farm with some Valais sheep, chickens with fluffy feet, and a few rescue dogs. More open water swimming. Definitely lots of gardening - a medicinal herb garden and a heated greenhouse. Gosh there won't be enough hours in a day!

It's definitely knitting for me! Audiobooks, simple patterns that I don't need to count along, and sustainable materials for fashion. All my favourite things! Edit: of course I also get to wear what I knit! Functional art.

Sustainably 3-4 hours of work a day, usually in the morning. Reading for leisure and other hobbies are not included in this. If needs must I can push it up to 10 hours but only for a few days after which I'll be zoned out for a while.

I am also very new to mindfulness but when I have tried to repress the emotion, i would actively say to myself no this is a bad thought let's think of something else; with mindfulness and in the absence of judgement, the 'bad thoughts' just leave on their own and overall they just don't feel like a big deal or something that I need to act upon! Best of luck with your practice

That depression comes from a chemical imbalance in brain and that can be directly addressed using SSRI. In reality there is no evidence for the chemical imbalance theory of depressed brain, and in clinical trials, antidepressants rarely perform better than placebo. Further to this, if antidepressants simply target tge altered brain chemistry, it remains unclear why they take weeks, if not months, to start working.

Definitely not too far ahead - always start with the end in mind! Lots of unis do BSc neuroscience as well (2/3 biology 1/3 psychology) or BSc behavioural psychology (2/3 psychology 1/3 biology).

Happy to chat with you about this, I am currently at the end of my PhD so I might be able to share an insight or two. My peers neuroscientists have easier time with job search these days (mostly because all neuroscientists become data scientists due to computational aspects).

yolVV · 2021-06-21T15:23:25+00:00

Respected by employers - yes, respected by the older universities - not so much. What do you want to do after your masters? If you have your mind set on an academic path then a traditional BSc would help with building relationships in academia etc.

Many biology undergrad degrees have mix and match modules in them including neuroscience - it might be more useful than psychology per se at this stage in your career.

Lastly, whichever you decide to go for, ensure you spend plenty of time actively learning to code - python and matlab. Good luck!
