Which stress personality are you?
Our Seven Stress Personalities
Our personality greatly impacts how we handle stress. Different personalities cope with stress, depending on various factors.
The Seven stress personalities are The Pleaser, Time Keeper...
The Pleaser
This personality type wants all to be happy and can sacrifice one’s own interests for what’s best for the group. Pleasers can become resentful and may feel under-appreciated.
Pleasers need to prioritize their schedule and manage time in a more balanced way, getting more done for themselves.
The Timekeeper
This personality type likes to be in charge, and needs to feel competent and wanted. They take on too much and feel stressed out and anxious. They need to wait a few minutes before deciding to take any new responsibilities.

Why melancholia must be understood as distinct from depression
Melancholic depression
- Melancholic depression, as described by Hippocrates, was considered a unique condition that struck people out of the blue.
- It is now known as "endogenous depression" (co...
Sadness and depression
- The extension of "clinical depression" to include sadness created concern. Everyone feels down or sad sometimes, and usually, these moods pass without long-term consequences.
- Clinical depression is more severe, such as losing sleep or thinking life isn't worth living and extends for a longer period. Lumping them together and ignoring the differing causes may lead to an inappropriate therapeutic approach.
- This model also treats melancholia as a major depression "specifier" and not as a disorder in its own right.
Melancholia: A distinct pattern
- Melancholia shows a clear pattern of symptoms and signs.
- Sufferers experience a gloominess and have no desire to socialize.
- They also lack energy and have difficulty concentrating.
- Episodes typically appear from nowhere.

Your body is a map of your emotions
Brain, Body And Consciousness
Consciousness emerges from brain function, and we often experience consciousness to be located in the brain, but bodily feedback clearly contributes to a wide variety of subjective feelings. Bra...
Pain And Evolution Of Consciousness
Emotion-related inputs from the body to the brain could have generated the first traces of consciousness in our early ancestors. Being able to feel pain gives a survival advantage to animals, as they could have withdrawn from dangers and rested to promote recovery when injured or ill.
The development of awareness of body-related harms might have ultimately paved the road for the emergence of more advanced forms of conscious thought and processes, such as language, thinking, and reasoning.
Emotional Expression And The Evolution Of Consciousness
Our bodies signal our internal states to us, but it also often externalizes them too. And being able to track others’ inner states and goals might be one of the more advantageous capabilities.
Humans and many animals are adept at reading each other’s intentions, feelings, and goals from their behavior such as facial and bodily expressions. This promotes social cohesion by exchanging emotions and other mental states and presents evolutionary advantages a purely private consciousness wouldn’t have.
