    Are you arguing just for the sake of argument? Nobody is denying that depression affects your entire body. If you’re depressed, you’re less motivated to get exercise, and insufficient exercise causes changes in your entire body. That’s just one example. Do you really need a source to tell you that?

    What the hell does trump have to do with this? What the hell is “antiscience culture”? Trump won because the majority of electoral votes were cast for him. Do you even know what the word “skepticism” means? If you’re skeptic against claim X, that doesn’t mean you automatically trust claim NOT X. You can be skeptical about both. Skepticism just means not accepting a claim is true until there is evidence that supports it. You know, like kind of like the scientific method.

      “It’s just in your head”

      “Nobody is denting that depression affects your entire body.”

      This is what I mean. Youre defending this dipshit because you thought me rude. You’re defending a willfully ignorant dolt who’s literally saying “trustmebro” over me explaining how nothing is “just” in your head or your body because there is no such division in our bodies, and how depression can be induced extremely easily just by changing the physical environment of a person and limiting their nutrients.

      So it’s incredibly fucking reductive (and thus harmful misinfo) to say “it’s just in your head”. And you’re defending a person who did that, because “he’s just being skeptical”.

      You’re like the right wing fuck nuts who try to read deeper meaning into Trump’s demented babbling, saying what a genius he is while he’s talking absolute gibberish…

      He’s not being skeptical. He’s ignoring actual science and asserting his ignorant “trustmebro” facts. That’s not skepticism ffs.
