Are there any standard tests to measure psychopathy? There's also a bit of an issue with how/if people differentiate pychopathy and sociopathy. I believe the general consensus is that antisocial personality disorder somewhat encapsulates the mental picture people have. Of this fascinating conceptualized idea of a human like... this would be. |

What is the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and fugue states? Accidentally typed "anemia" in place of "amnesia" several times. Freudian slip? |

Cognitive explanation of why beta blockers are effective for anxiety [Just chiming in...] Beta blockers like Propranolol are effective for social and performance anxiety in particular. In dampening/mitigating physical symptoms of anxiety like uncontrollable shaking, pounding heartbeat, sweating, stuttering, etc. |

Do people with ADD or Asperger's Syndrome often show different learning curves than neurotypical individuals? Thanks for this. From my own personal experience or point-of-view, I have been diagnosed with AS/ADHD-PI in the past... I generally think of myself as a "slow" learner, and I could totally relate to the "click" that occurs all of a sudden - once I reach that boundary, I feel like I either can or do understand everything (whatever it is that I'm trying to learn), magically. And I have a very good memory /only/ when it comes to something I feel I have learned to the point of clear comprehension. Ramble, ramble. YMMV? |

To what extent are correlations of father's age with birth defects and autism causal? Interesting. :) I've heard of correlations of mother's age with birth defects. I feel like your first thought is valid. |
