Controlled tests seldom show repeatable mind-only information gains, so most claims stay unproven. People have been swapping stories about “just knowing” for ages. A friend calls right as you think of them. You dream a scene that later feels familiar. Those moments can feel sharp and personal. This article gives you a fair way to

No, SSRIs aren’t scheduled drugs under U.S. federal controlled-drug law, though you still need a prescription.

People often picture a one-way slide with no room for better days. Real life is messier than that. “Dementia” is a label for

Anxiety can raise tension and shorten your fuse, so irritability often tags along when your body stays on alert.
