There actually are other options for treatment-resistant depression, which is defined as depression that has little or no response to standard treatments like antidepressants.

• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): uses magnetic currents to stimulate the brain while awake, typically provided 5x per week for 6 weeks (although there are now newer protocols that are much shorter in duration)
• Ketamine: a general anesthetic drug typically provided via a nose spray 1-2 times per week for 8 weeks
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): uses electricity to induce a small seizure in the brain under sedation, typically provided 2-3 times per week for 3-4 weeks

I try to spread the word about these treatments when I can because TMS helped me immensely after trying just about every antidepressant out there with no luck.

We really need more stability in basically all of these objects designed for them to sit on. It’s not fair to them and their big panda butts to make them so prone to tipping over.

I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?

Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden

But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points

2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden

2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)

58-49 = 9 point swing?

Does anyone have any recommendations for nature docs that don’t do this? Would love to watch some that don’t make me feel sad for half the episode.
