Digital Health · NHS Scotland partners with CGI on Digital Front Door platformThe Digital Front Door platform for Scotland moves forward as CGI is unveiled as a Delivery Partner for NHS Education for Scotland (NES).

If the source and information is reliable, this is more troubling news concerning the recent Air India crash.

Here is the link to the article in Italian.

corriere.it/economia/trasporti

These excerpts are Google translated into English.

"First officer Kunder, initially surprised, panicked, repeatedly asking his superior why he did so, while the commander denied it, then remained silent."

"In recent days, an Indian pilot revealed to the newspapers that the commander had been suffering from depression for some time."

"At 1:38.44 p.m., the microphone hooked to the first officer's seat recorded Kunder asking, with much surprise: "Why did you turn off the engines?" A second later, the other microphone, assigned to the commander's station, records a vague "I didn't do it". Kunder is not convinced and asks for it other times, for a further six seconds."

The Incels of Computing: The Depressive Defense Mechanisms of Free Software

With all the progress that has been done with liberating the digital space there is a sense of self defeating, depression. A kind of defense mechanism of sorts. As if the people settled for something and gave up trying to do anything else. Which in itself causing lack of morale, lack of vision, and with it lack of actual movement.

TITLE: Neuroscientists target GluD1 receptor to repair, not just mask, chronic pain

URL: psypost.org/neuroscientists-ta

Pain is easy to understand until it isn’t. A stubbed toe or sprained ankle hurts, but it makes sense because the cause is clear and the pain fades as you heal.

But what if the pain didn’t go away? What if even a breeze felt like fire, or your leg burned for no reason at all? When pain lingers without a clear cause, that’s neuropathic pain.

We are neuroscientists who study how pain circuits in the brain and spinal cord change over time. Our work focuses on the molecules that quietly reshape how pain is felt and remembered.

We didn’t fully grasp how different neuropathic pain was from injury-related pain until we began working in a lab studying it. Patients spoke of a phantom pain that haunted them daily – unseen, unexplained and life-altering.

These conversations shifted our focus from symptoms to mechanisms. What causes this ghost pain to persist, and how can we intervene at the molecular level to change it?

More than just physical pain

Neuropathic pain stems from damage to or dysfunction in the nervous system itself. The system that was meant to detect pain becomes the source of it, like a fire alarm going off without a fire. Even a soft touch or breeze can feel unbearable.

Neuropathic pain doesn’t just affect the body – it also alters the brain. Chronic pain of this nature often leads to depression, anxiety, social isolation and a deep sense of helplessness. It can make even the most routine tasks feel unbearable.

About 10% of the U.S. population – tens of millions of people – experience neuropathic pain, and cases are rising as the population ages. Complications from diabetes, cancer treatments or spinal cord injuries can lead to this condition. Despite its prevalence, doctors often overlook neuropathic pain because its underlying biology is poorly understood.

There’s also an economic cost to neuropathic pain. This condition contributes to billions of dollars in health care spending, missed workdays and lost productivity. In the search for relief, many turn to opioids, a path that, as seen from the opioid epidemic, can carry its own devastating consequences through addiction.

GluD1: A quiet but crucial player

Finding treatments for neuropathic pain requires answering several questions. Why does the nervous system misfire in this way? What exactly causes it to rewire in ways that increase pain sensitivity or create phantom sensations? And most urgently: Is there a way to reset the system?

This is where our lab’s work and the story of a receptor called GluD1 comes in. Short for glutamate delta-1 receptor, this protein doesn’t usually make headlines. Scientists have long considered GluD1 a biochemical curiosity, part of the glutamate receptor family, but not known to function like its relatives that typically transmit electrical signals in the brain.

Instead, GluD1 plays a different role. It helps organize synapses, the junctions where neurons connect. Think of it as a construction foreman: It doesn’t send messages itself, but directs where connections form and how strong they become.

This organizing role is critical in shaping the way neural circuits develop and adapt, especially in regions involved in pain and emotion. Our lab’s research suggests that GluD1 acts as a molecular architect of pain circuits, particularly in conditions like neuropathic pain where those circuits misfire or rewire abnormally. In parts of the nervous system crucial for pain processing like the spinal cord and amygdala, GluD1 may shape how people experience pain physically and emotionally.

Fixing the misfire

Across our work, we found that disruptions to GluD1 activity is linked to persistent pain. Restoring GluD1 activity can reduce pain. The question is, how exactly does GluD1 reshape the pain experience?

In our first study, we discovered that GluD1 doesn’t operate solo. It teams up with a protein called cerebellin-1 to form a structure that maintains constant communication between brain cells. This structure, called a trans-synaptic bridge, can be compared to a strong handshake between two neurons. It makes sure that pain signals are appropriately processed and filtered.

But in chronic pain, the bridge between these proteins becomes unstable and starts to fall apart. The result is chaotic. Like a group chat where everyone is talking at once and nobody can be heard clearly, neurons start to misfire and overreact. This synaptic noise turns up the brain’s pain sensitivity, both physically and emotionally. It suggests that GluD1 isn’t just managing pain signals, but also may be shaping how those signals feel.

What if we could restore that broken connection?

In our second study, we injected mice with cerebellin-1 and saw that it reactivated GluD1 activity, easing their chronic pain without producing any side effects. It helped the pain processing system work again without the sedative effects or disruptions to other nerve signals that are common with opioids. Rather than just numbing the body, reactivating GluD1 activity recalibrated how the brain processes pain.

Of course, this research is still in the early stages, far from clinical trials. But the implications are exciting: GluD1 may offer a way to repair the pain processing network itself, with fewer side effects and less risk of addiction than current treatments.

For millions living with chronic pain, this small, peculiar receptor may open the door to a new kind of relief: one that heals the system, not just masks its symptoms.

PsyPost Psychology News · Neuroscientists target GluD1 receptor to repair, not just mask, chronic painBy Pooja Shree Chettiar and Siddhesh Sabnis

I just realised that I had never made an intro post, so here it is:

As you'll see on my profile, I'm a bit of a professional chimera. I studied an engineering field back in the day, but switched gears to clinical psychology when the stars aligned for such a big change.

I'm interested in very many things, and one day, I would like to either work in child-and-youth psychiatry, psychotherapy, or psychological counselling for minorities. Currently, I'm nearing the end of my studies, and I earn my bread as a Linux system administrator.

A recent study on the #4DayWorkweek has unsurprisingly found:

Reduce work hours + maintain pay = improve happiness + boost mental and physical health

While the well-being aspect is unsurprising, I do not see any claim regarding overall productivity. Certainly I would expect a boost in the long-term productivity. Too bad it apparently wasn't studied though.

Hello Mastodon! 👋

My name is Delilah. (it's my online alias, not a legal name). I am a psychologist and youth counselor, and I mostly work with people suffering from personality disorders, eating disorders, and ASD/ADHD/ADD.

I have had teenage patients as well as adults and even families. In my career I even worked at schools but ended up abandoning that path due to constant defunding, where I no longer could help people without struggling to pay bills.

I will be posting mostly about how mental disorders work and to share some information about them. However I want to make it clear, that what I post should never be a substitute for actual medical consultation, and that I will not do therapy on social media.
I want to keep myself somewhat anonymous to not reveal my real-life identity, and to of course respect privacy laws related to my profession.

Outside of that, I like to keep myself up to date with technology and privacy, as it affects our mental health no matter how much we tend to deny this. I'm a cat mom of two, and love to tend to my mini-garden of vegetables.

I am not from USA, and English is not my first language, so please excuse my mistakes. I also ask to respect my privacy and be kind!

Looking forward to meeting new friends, and hopefully there are some profession peers on Mastodon?

TITLE: Higher income may boost the odds of finding a romantic partner

URL: psypost.org/higher-income-may-

While money may not buy happiness in singlehood, it could increase the desire—and likelihood—of entering a relationship. A new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family found that single adults with higher incomes were more likely to say they wanted a partner, felt more ready to date, and were more likely to begin a relationship within the next year. However, income was not associated with greater satisfaction in being single.

Singlehood has become more common in recent years, with nearly half of U.S. adults identifying as single and one-person households now the most common household type in Canada. Despite this trend, much of the research on finances and relationships has focused on couples—particularly how income relates to marriage, conflict, and divorce. But less is known about how money shapes the lives and attitudes of people who are not currently in a relationship.

Researchers from the University of Toronto and Carleton University wanted to understand whether single people with more financial resources are more satisfied with single life—or more interested in moving toward a romantic relationship. They were especially interested in whether higher income might signal a kind of readiness for partnership. Past studies suggest that people often want to achieve some financial stability before committing to a long-term relationship, but it’s unclear how this plays out among those who are currently single.

The research included two large studies—one based in the United States and the other in Germany—each designed to explore the link between income and relationship attitudes in single people. The studies were longitudinal, meaning they followed participants over time to see how their relationship status changed.

Study 1 included 638 U.S.-based single adults aged 25 to 35. Participants were recruited online and reported their annual income, satisfaction with being single, desire for a romantic partner, and how ready they felt to begin a relationship. They also indicated whether they intended to find a partner in the next six months. About 60% of participants completed a follow-up survey six months later, reporting whether they had entered into a romantic relationship during that period.

Study 2 drew on over a decade of data from the German Family Panel, which included 2,774 unique single individuals who reported their income, relationship attitudes, and status over multiple years. This study allowed researchers to examine how both current income and recent changes in income related to relationship outcomes one year later. It also provided an opportunity to test whether these links differed for men and women.

In both studies, higher income was not linked to greater satisfaction with singlehood. People with more money did not report enjoying their single lives more than those with less income. However, income was strongly associated with a greater desire for a romantic relationship, stronger feelings of readiness to date, and increased intent to start a relationship in the near future.

In the U.S. sample, single adults with higher income were more likely to say they wanted a partner and felt the time was right for a relationship. They also showed a greater intention to begin dating in the following six months. When surveyed again six months later, those with higher income were significantly more likely to have entered into a relationship.

The German sample echoed these findings. Participants with higher income were more likely to express a desire for a partner, and income predicted the odds of being in a relationship one year later. This effect was stronger for men than for women, though the gender difference was modest overall.

“I think that young people are making rational calculations in unstable economic conditions,” said Geoff MacDonald, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. “I think people get that they are not going to be able to enjoy a relationship if they are working 80 hours a week, or if they’re not sure where they’re going to live next year.”

Interestingly, recent changes in income—whether a participant earned more or less than the year before—had little effect on whether they wanted a relationship or actually found one. What mattered more was their current income level. This suggests that financial stability, rather than short-term financial improvement or decline, plays a larger role in shaping relationship intentions and outcomes.

Satisfaction with singlehood was generally unrelated to income in both studies. This held true even after accounting for subjective financial stress, feelings of deprivation, or worries about money. People with higher income may have had more resources and options, but this did not appear to translate into greater happiness with being single.

While the study provides evidence for a connection between income and relationship intentions, it does not prove that money causes people to want or begin relationships. Other factors—such as personality traits, life goals, or cultural values—may also play a role. The researchers focused on objective income, which is only one part of socioeconomic status. Future work could examine how other aspects, such as education level, perceived social class, or job stability, influence relationship readiness.

Another limitation is that both studies were conducted in Western countries with relatively individualistic cultures. In cultures where marriage is more closely tied to family expectations or economic arrangements, the link between income and partnering might be stronger—or take on different forms entirely. Gender norms and roles also vary across societies, and further research could explore how income affects men and women differently in contexts with less gender equality.

There are also unanswered questions about what kinds of material resources signal relationship readiness. Is it a stable income? Having one’s own apartment? Owning a car? Future studies could look more closely at these “relationship infrastructure” factors. Researchers could also explore whether higher income leads to greater confidence or a stronger sense of agency in romantic pursuit.

The study, “Making (Enough for) Love: The Association of Income and Relationship Readiness,” was authored by Johanna Peetz and Geoff MacDonald.
