My blogs
| Introduction | If you Google me (Stacie Z. Berg) you may see that I am an award-winning medical/science journalist and you can certainly see that I write on a variety of subjects, from personal finance to computer technology and information security to medicine. Medicine, however, is my primary field of interest. I have successfully pitched editors on probably hundreds of stories over the years. And over the years, I couldn't help but notice the ones that kept getting rejected were those that took a different approach to covering brain disorders that affect thoughts and emotions (better known as "psychiatric" disorders - but the mind is in the brain). Virtually all the editors seemed to want a repetition of what's already been covered, namely treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), exposure therapy, and talk therapy, as I could see by what little coverage there was. One exception was this article (Insight LINK). So, I decided to post information here rather than have them collect dust on the cutting room floor. |
