I've had mental health difficulties for quite a while, life handed me a good tangle to work through. I've had some upward movement in the last few months, and it's coincided with listening to the content produced by this gent, Dr Alok Kanojia, nick: Healthygamergg. [0]

He provides a set of frameworks (and demonstrates by example) for how obsessive, asd-leaning, smart, struggling people can go about growing a more functional pre-frontal cortex. He uses both familiar and relatively novel metaphors to convey the fundamentals of psychology in an interesting way, at least for a young-ish Western audience (drawing on video gaming and hindu/buddhist concepts respectively).

I have a really big problem with this 'should/ought-factory' culture online about how to behave. But if you relate to what I've said above, you should go check the channel out :)

Thanks for the recommendation. Went through a couple of his videos and I think it would be a great addition to the list. Will add it.

Also, I completely agree with your outlook on the online culture. Wish there were more ways to help but hopefully this resources is a good first phase.

I appreciate that you're "showing people the door", morph3us.

Would like to second that the format and structure of this channel and community are a refreshing and useful take for the exact demographic mentioned above, in my experience

Really great! Now if only 90% were removed...
