Physicians' lack of knowledge of neuroscience is distressing. It's hard to find doctors who are good listeners, humble enough to deal with the complexity of the nervous system, and open to learning from their patients... Sometimes, doctors are so sure of themselves in their lack of knowledge, that t...

Try low-dose lithium...
I've been taking them for a month. Slight improvement in anhedonia on the rest of my body, but not yet breasts or genitals. Cheer up

Nipples? Thighs, belly, arms, back? Do you feel emotions of love? Emotional excitement over sexual stimuli?...

If you have any treatment ideas to regenerate the expression of the original genome...
