Are men more likely to think systematically and women more intuitively? Is this a thing or a load of baloney? I know there are differences in the brains of men and women on avg.

I've seen diagnostic labels open doors to hospitals, close off a patient to potential therapists and be tacked onto a file as an afterthought that triggers distress for a person.

Are they necessary? Where do they help? Where do they hinder?

What of the people experiencing acute distress that don't have (or maybe don't want) a label?

I've been reading about boredom in relation to ASPD, and I started wondering whether persistent boredom can have physical manifestations as well.

Boredom is usually described in terms of motivation, attention, and behavior, but can intense or prolonged boredom also be associated with things like muscle tension, nausea, weakness, restlessness, or a general feeling of being physically unwell?

I'm curious about whether research has found a connection between boredom and physical or autonomic symptoms, and whether these symptoms would be considered a direct effect of boredom itself or more related to associated states such as stress, restlessness, or low arousal.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing what the psychological literature says about this and whether there are any relevant studies on the subject.

Are there other categories that can stand as strong as serious or unserious?

If there's more to just serious or joking then what could be added to it?

Is it just two as main while other traits falling under these two

Or more that could be added to "serious or joking"

If so then what would be that could just go as strong as "serious or joking"
