Fun Fact for the Day

This is Dr. Jean-Martin Chacot demonstrating "Hysteria" to his students in the 1870's.

He would bring a young "indolent" woman in from the wards and frighten her until she passed out.

Science!

About Me

Heidi Lindborg: Tucson, AZ, United States; I obsess about obsession because it seems like the best use of the pathology.
Not that I really have any choice...

I believe that the majority of mental illness is secondary symptoms of common chronic infections. I was a medical librarian, and now I just pretty much constantly research sleep disorders, depression, mania and dementia. This is where I collect my accumulating hypotheses and try to document the atrocities occurring daily in the Infection Industrial Complex.
My goal is not to convince you that my ideas are right, but to show you there is more than one way to interpret scientific data.
Update:
After fifteen years of this, I finally think I am right.
