its too bad they didnt zoom in on the presentation-we could have listened while having a clear zoomed in picture of the informative screen.

I used Neuro mag. Omega threes b complex and litium oratate. It's a great combo.

Thank you very much.
Then the cerebellum is the area of balance ?

[cxSMILEYx]

Omg do y’all think complex trauma and dissociation disorders can also play a role in high resilience and more cerebellum mass?

When talking about psychosocial risk factors, she only talks about ACEs (without using the term). But what about PCEs? The ratio of ACEs to PCEs is directly correlated with outcomes for mental health (i.e. bipolar), so we can't talk about one without the other when linking them to mood/personally disorders etc. I guess ACEs would be synonymous with risks and PCEs synonymous with resilience.

I'm not understanding wat exactly is the conclusion here. But perhaps I didn't listen properly. Like, how is this of practical benefit to anybody.
