RE: Hello I'm Caroline! I'm 26 and a psychologist from Amsterdam. @thisisbenbrick invited me to say hello!
I started off in psychology, it is an interesting subject to study. I now am studying pharmacology which I find even more interesting. Obligatory welcome to steemit and plugging of blog @thealexander. Which psychological studies of recent have peaked your interest?
Thanks! I'm currently fascinated by the many studies that have linked depression to (other?) inflammatory illnesses. There's an interesting line of research looking at the epidemic of depression from evolutionary perspective, mostly related to our modern lifestyle. (check out Steve Ilardi's TedTalk on YouTube!)
It is also fascinating how cognitive decline associated with neurological disorders can be improved by the administration of SSRI's for example Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease, though this is mainly due to treating Depression that is co-morbid with the disease.
