Hey, when I'm feeling depressed, I just stop having sad thoughts (and reduce the part of brain network responsible for this), why can't you? 😬
@m0xee When using plenty of Black & White Thinking style (ie. OR logic, and 10-30 pcs. other unhelpful styles, which overlaps B&W), result is unhelpful rumination and depression IF ...
@m0xee ... brains are more compatible ("expanded frontostriatal salience network") with B&W thinking style before start of the rumination.
@m0xee This is fully compatible with Aaron T. Beck's thoughts:
"people with depression, a larger part of the brain is involved in the network that controls attention to rewards and threats ["win OR lose", "Fight OR Flight"] than in those without depression."
