Sources in a room of their own.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISPublic-science conversations on major depression, grief, ketamine, sleep, exercise, stress and treatment questions.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYAn editorial collection and educational gateway, not a clinical guideline or independent evidence review.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISThe synthesis of trauma as embodied, relational and action-shaping, including attachment, memory, dissociation and the body’s defensive states.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYAn influential clinical book, not a systematic review; its interventions and broader claims carry different evidence levels.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA learning-and-attachment account of grief, yearning and the slow updating of a world changed by loss.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA science-informed public book; neuroscience does not determine one person’s mourning timetable or cultural meaning.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISGlobal burden, heterogeneity, risk and the need for accessible psychological and medical care.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYPopulation guidance cannot predict one person’s cause, risk or response.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISStepped and shared treatment decisions across severity, psychotherapy, medication, relapse prevention and complex care.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA guideline supports decisions; it does not replace diagnosis, preference or local clinical judgment.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISMarked symptom heterogeneity within the same major-depression diagnosis.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYHeterogeneity supports component-level formulation; it does not invalidate diagnosis or select treatment by itself.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISPublic-science conversations on fear, PTSD, trauma therapy, memory, sleep, writing, ketamine and recovery.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYEpisode inclusion does not validate every mechanism or protocol mentioned in the collection.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA somatic clinical language for defensive responses, titration, pendulation and restoring agency after overwhelming experience.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYPeter A. Levine is the author; Gabor Maté contributed the foreword. The book is clinical theory and narrative, not proof of universal mechanisms.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA relational and cultural frame for adaptation, disconnection, stress, addiction and compassionate inquiry.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA wide interpretive synthesis whose claims about trauma and physical illness should not be read as individual causal diagnosis.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISStrong recommendations for CPT, prolonged exposure and EMDR, with medication and implementation guidance.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYGuideline evidence is not a mandate; fit, consent, co-occurring conditions and clinical judgment remain necessary.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISPromising early evidence and a map of the developing Somatic Experiencing literature.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYThe evidence base is smaller and less definitive than for first-line trauma-focused therapies.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA public-health account of PTSD symptoms, risk, protective support and effective psychological treatment.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYMost people exposed to potentially traumatic events do not develop PTSD; a fact sheet cannot diagnose an individual.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISAn accessible entry into bipolar states, sleep, treatment and selected schizophrenia-related discussions.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYThe collection is much denser on bipolar disorder than schizophrenia and should not be treated as a balanced review of both fields.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISGlobal overview of episodes, burden, treatment and monitoring considerations.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA fact sheet cannot distinguish bipolar disorder from substances, medical conditions or other psychiatric disorders in one person.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISDiagnosis and triage, specialty care, mania or hypomania and acute bipolar depression.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYMedication choices require person-specific risk, monitoring, reproductive and medical review.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISRecognition, assessment, acute care, longer-term management and support across ages.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYNational guidance must be translated into local availability and individual clinical decisions.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISClear distinctions among mania, hypomania, depression, diagnosis and treatment roles.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYEducational descriptions are not a self-diagnostic checklist.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISEvaluation, early coordinated care, psychosocial intervention and pharmacotherapy for first-episode psychosis and schizophrenia.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYThe guideline supports clinical care; it cannot determine diagnosis from a single symptom or episode description.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA person-centred overview of psychosis, negative and cognitive symptoms, coordinated specialty care and recovery.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYEducational symptom descriptions do not establish schizophrenia or distinguish it from mood, substance-related or medical causes.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISEarly recognition, acute treatment, longer-term care, family intervention and physical-health monitoring.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYRecommendations require local clinical judgment, consent and attention to the person’s goals and context.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISA broad public-science map of psychotherapy, medication, neurostimulation, psychedelics, nutrition and treatment conversations.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYBreadth does not create equal evidence. Novel and established interventions require separate clinical appraisal.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISSeveral major psychotherapies outperform usual care or waiting controls on average.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYMany head-to-head differences are small or uncertain; modality, alliance, access, preference and maintaining processes still matter.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISAverage antidepressant efficacy with meaningful differences in efficacy and acceptability.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYPopulation averages do not predict one person’s response and do not address bipolar depression as ordinary unipolar depression.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISSafety boundaries around compounded, at-home and insufficiently monitored ketamine use.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA safety warning does not decide whether a regulated specialist treatment is appropriate for one person.

USED IN THE SYNTHESISEvidence that shorter iTBS can be non-inferior to standard high-frequency rTMS in selected treatment-resistant depression pathways.

INFERENCE BOUNDARYA trial result does not establish individual eligibility, local protocol quality or long-term maintenance.
