About the size of amygdala 杏仁核正常大小的問題
Source: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/what-causes-depression I heard that a teenager was admitted to hospital due to shrinking amygdala. As far as my limited psychiatric knowledge is concerned, shrinking amygdala means the patient is likely to find it...
read moreAbout Chinese subtitles 也談字幕中文
有時候接到英譯中字幕翻譯，由於平日少讀中文書，翻譯字幕的時候可能用上長一些時間。好在我這幾年有空也會讀一讀亦舒、蔡瀾的閒書，將那一套簡單直接的中文搬上用場，其實還蠻好用的。難怪香港詞人林夕、黃偉文封亦舒為師太，導演谷德昭也很欣賞她。 何以平日少讀中文書？說來實在可悲，大學畢業以來，好像沒看過幾本中文寫得好的書，我多數只讀港台出版的正體中文書，中文很好的作者也寥寥可數。...

read moreBetween Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder 躁鬱症與邊緣型人格障礙
最近正讀著英國作者Sarah Owen 和 Amanda Saunders 的《躁鬱症之終極指引》。這是我閱讀的第一本躁鬱症專書而且進度很慢，因為最近工作比較忙碌。 前面數十頁當中，我就已經一窺躁鬱症的徵狀，其中有些狀況其實跟邊緣型人格障礙蠻相似。兩者相似的病徵包括情緒病、抑鬱症。比起躁狂症狀，躁鬱症患者多數時候覺得抑鬱。這一點跟邊緣型人格障礙患者可能長年抑鬱的狀況有些類似。 以我初淺的精神科知識來說，兩者之間的明顯差異，就是邊緣型人格障礙患者害怕被拋離，以及常常呈現不合比例、不合理的怒憤。...
