Lexapro cortisol

The totality of submission was unexpected and, I hope!, unrealistic. The level of punishment to her while pregnant - how much cortisol is flooding that fetus? Not good. Messed up.

hmmm....presumably Billy not sneaking cigs/boozing, and Sharon didn't whip up a spicy curry or pasta arrabbiata w/garlic bread for dinner, tho asshole Walter prob got both their cortisol levels sky high...

Can someone out there confirm that most antidepressants are dispensed as pills, which are hard to grind to soluble dust?
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.

I find it amusing that it's supposedly civilized to tolerate infidelity and uncivilized not to tolerate it. So... is it civilized to tolerate those that break laws and oaths and uncivilized not to tolerate them? Civilization is ultimately creating an orderly system that promotes the interests of society and, in general, its members. Ultimately, it comes down to procreation, which is governed by the hypothalamus, not the cerebral cortex.
Civilization is simply a means of amplifying and channeling the drives of humans. Yet, not all human males share the same natural drives. It depends upon whether they are cortisol dominant or testosterone dominant. A cortisol dominant male becomes more passive when put under stress or challenged. A testosterone dominant male becomes more aggressive when under stress or challenged. Each has his own role in society. Some tend towards submission. Some are dominance-seeking.
The fact is that there is no right solution for everybody. A coping solution for one type of individual would drive another type of individual mad. Testosterone dominant males are driven to mate-guard and to seek vengeance because of the testosterone receptors present in the hypothalamus. They can no more change who they are than they change their gender preference. Cortisol dominant males are driven to accept. The problem is that they are often confused by what is natural and what society tells them.
