Yes, you’re right. I tried to be as quick and brief as possible.
I was talking about the state of the lab rat that stops exerting itself and tries medication for depression in this state. In the forced swimming test (FST), the rat gives up trying to escape “learned depression.” However, it could be because it changes its strategy: it conserves energy and floats passively, as if in a reflective, introspective moment… perhaps S1? That could help it search its memories for a way out.
Many researchers have interpreted this as “learned depression” and medication, but others see it more as an adaptive adjustment to negative information.
What happens if we think of depression as a “system failure,” as a low-energy mode while the brain searches for a new model of the environment?
My hypothesis is that my supposed depression is correlated with a bias in the interpretation of reality and my memories, and that I should seek a system to reorganize them with the best possible cost-benefit.
I could treat my life like a science experiment, but that would be expensive and I’d miss out on life. So, what scientific method could I apply, using probabilities to organize my memories and expectations, to increase my chances of experiencing fewer biases and depression?
