I recently finished a personal project after months of introspection. Atm friends and I are calling it "Psychological Profile Mapping" (PPM).In essence, it's a framework to use in doing introspection. It's not a replacement for a clinician. We highly recommend taking it to a clinician actually. This is just another tool in your tool box. It's not an end all be all, just an earnest attempt to improve mental health and cut out a lot of wasted time and effort. An example of how a PPM could be useful:Say you are experiencing depressive symptoms while also having ADHD-like traits. Your depression may actually be related to dopamine issues and not serotonin. So taking an SSRI may not have any benefit, or could even be harmful. While taking an NDRI might relieve depressive symptoms on top of helping manage your ADHD-like traits. Being able to recognize your root issue is likely dopamine means you can skip the trial and error of antidepressants and go straight towards getting an ADHD evaluation. Handing your PPM to your clinician should help them see the logic behind it and be more inclined towards treating ADHD symptoms first instead of depression symptoms. (I write from personal experience as someone that got to end antidepressant trialing quickly and move to ADHD treatment for this reason)If you'd like a printable PDF, have any questions or would like to give feedback directly to me my discord is:odd.cogOtherwise, please offer your feedback here. Tear it apart if you want! We often learn more from critique. Right now our current improvement ideas are:>Including questions about internalized and externalized regulation in step 1.>Making a web version that is module-based, where responses in step 1 and 2 will result in suggested targeted modules in step 3. This is for people that may struggle with researching on their own.
This is what happens when listen to jp

>>16868512Depression is probably not caused by a serotonin imbalance. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0You PPM looks good to me. I'll try it more seriously. For the web version, isn't it straightforward with LLMs?
>>16868644All my jp meme came from my friend's spammingNever actually watched him or read his stuff Tragically, I spent more time with Jung and Vaknin >>16868660Methylphenidate ER 54mg>>16869160Haven't seen that before thanksWith the web version it's mostly for people that struggle with noticing things about themselves. A baseline level of metacognition is almost a requirement from my experience thus far. But I've also learned people can train some awareness from genuinely attempting to engage even if their base level is low. At some point a lot of people just want to latch onto a framework of any kind. While that does instill some confidence, I'm equally worried about people getting too carried away into rabbit holes. Web modules can circumvent this issue by keeping the scope more narrow hopefully.
>>16868512How do i make a website like this that gaslights the users and tries to sell them supplements?
>>16869654Your Discord link doesn't work. Maybe the hacker known as 4chan added a filter against Discord links because of the spam.I've got a female friend (real female) with a probable ADHD and autism. She has 0 clues about herself. She's obviously extroverted, but she genuinely thinks she's introverted, for example. Introspection is very hard, and my guess is it's even harder for extroverted people because they spend less time with their own thoughts.
>>16869797I've had a few adds so far. My namefag tag is my discordMetacog some kind is a base requirement without intervention. But I've seen people with low metacog develop it over time. I'd recommend giving her some variation of an executive function questionnaire (pic related). If she has high extroversion she's likely to engage with it.
