Depression makes no sense - especially when you're not in it. Dilan opens up about the hardest part: Not just feeling low… but trying to explain it to others —or even to yourself—after it’s passed. “Why didn’t I just do the thing?” Because when you’re in it, you can’t.

Finding the right therapist shouldn’t feel like dating. But it does. At first, @seandadashi went with the first name someone gave him. Didn’t click. So he changed the approach - interviewed 5 to 10 therapists with the same questions. That’s how he finally found the right one.

NEW EPISODE!🚨 Today @seandadashi, the founder of the mental health AI app @joinrosebud, joins us to unpack the collapse of traditional therapy and why LLMs might become your next therapist.

“I am God—and so is everything else.” @seandadashi Raised to see God as a distant figure in the sky, he questioned everything. Through meditation and reflection, his idea of God shifted— from above… to within. 👉 Watch the full episode by clicking the link in our profile.

Laziness looks different in the West. In the East, it’s “I’ll do it next lifetime.” In the West, it’s constant busyness—disguised as productivity.

More body fat = more estrogen? Higher body fat can raise estrogen levels, and that may lead to mood swings, poor sleep, and even depression. Your hormones aren’t just numbers. They affect how you feel, sleep, and think.

AI just crushed the USMLE (medical licensing exam). Some say regulation will slow it down so doctors are safe. But that’s not how this plays out.

.@dilan uploaded his @function lab results into ChatGPT-o3 It gave him a better answer than any doctor. More context. No rush. Actually useful.
