I guess people didn't get my above reply was just being tongue in cheek towards CNB. He talks about his social anxiety, and then in his post here in this LINK he makes fun of Josh Dobbs disease (the no eyebrow thing). Just pointing out his hypocrisy

So what coach cares about who?

Appreciate the shoutout

Yeah. That's some sad stuff. Transcends Petty football rivalries. I'd like to also note that I hate auto correct.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Tre was a great back. But I really wish he hadn't scored so soon against FSU.
That play still haunts my dreams. I can still see myself yelling, "noooo...take a knee!" in slow motion.

This is silly. What if we had fumbled the next play?
If our DBs make that one fricking tackle we win the game.

Do you know anything about the science of the brain?
From this comment I don't think you do...
A lot of studies show you actually can change the chemistry of your brain and train your brain to think a certain way simply with your thoughts. A lot of these "disorders" are simply people not knowing how to train your brain or refusing to believe that thinking differently can actually make a difference in your brain.
And before you jump on me, I'm not talking about all mental disorders. I know it's not a popular opinion right now, but scientific research seems to be trending in that direction so think what you want.

I have a different opinion so clearly I have no experience or understanding. Of course.
There's still a lot we don't know about the brain but of course everyone already knows everything we need to know about it.

No, you have a completely uniformed opinion. The idea that you could "train your brain" to get over anxiety betrays a complete lack of understanding of what anxiety is. Unless of course by "train your brain" you mean "undergo psychoanalysis," but I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant.

Some "mental disorders" should be laughed at.
Are we including or excluding the ones directly effected by your brain chemistry/processes? Where do we draw the line?

For some people, they can manage by gradually immersing themselves into social situations and conditioning themselves. For others it's not that simple and sometimes there is comorbitiy (the existence of other mental disorders feeding one).
Using your simpleton logic is like saying all depressed people can be treated and there should never be suicide. Or substance abuse. Or people who are "normal" than have a schizophrenic break should've been able to "get over it" with a cup of warm tea and a hug.

Just going off of my experience with people with these disorders, people I talk to who deal with people with these disorders, scientific research about the brain, and neuropsychologist but all that's meaningless I know.
Someone with anxiety can recognize they have anxiety and figure out ways to allieviate their anxiety. Is it easy? No. Is their research saying you can do it? Tons.

That's basically my whole point. There are some serious situations where the person can't help themselves but I'm not in favor of labeling everything a disorder like everyone likes to do know. Just because you think a different way and it's hard to change the way you think doesn't mean it's a disorder.

you clearly didn't read anything. I know people get emotional about this stuff and thats why it doesn't get talked about more but that doesn't exclude you from trying to understand a different viewpoint.This post was edited on 7/27/16 at 4:50 pm

It doesn't make it any less of a disorder if they don't need "professional help" or medication. But your assertion that it's as simple as "thinking a different way and hard to change" is just more of the same stigma that has helped contribute to the lack of affordable mental healthcare in this country. And yes, you're going to get called on something as simple as taking someone's pretty vague statement that they have social anxiety and acting like it's something they can "fix" with free will.

Oh I perfectly understand your viewpoint. I just think it's mostly shite. Several studies have shown that social anxiety has a strong correlation with physical abnormalities such as abnormal serotonin levels as well as an overactive amygdala. It often has comorbidity with depression, which can complicate treatment. There is also the suggestion that anxiety disorders tend to run in families (but a lot of discussion on whether it's genetic or a learned behavior). As with any mental disorder, there can be varying levels of "disorder".
But I'm going to digress.
