See a doctor. It's an illness like any other, and drugs will help treat it. If the first med you try doesn't work, try another. Different things work for different people.

Some people close to you won't understand at first. That's ok. Their only people, and it's hard for them to have sympathy for an illness they cant physically see.

Do at least 1 productive thing everyday. Congratulate yourself for it.

Interesting how deep learning is evolving. Agreed that adversarial models are a huge advancement; it will be interesting to see how they progress over the next couple of years.

Naturally, when the result of a scientific study is entangled emotionally with something so personal like intelligence, it is hard to look at the results without bias. Lots of people are going to have a problem with this study, because it literally makes 99.999% of the population feel inadequate.

Cool idea to go straight to the source. I wonder if the same type of technology would be applicable. Likely not based on rate of reaction.

One way to make a system like this one more efficient/cost effective would be to draw the CO2 from ocean surface water which has a much higher concentration than the atmosphere, depending where you are in the world.
