I have a little bit of experience with autism bicycles and I'd say that the saddle on that bike looks particularly runctitional. I'd venture you might end up with a medical frymnblal if you use it for very long, maybe even a case of drop-out totalbottl.

So this study isn't even really showing that CBT doesn't work for reducing depression, as such -- it's showing that young people don't want to engage with a CBT app for reducing depression. This isn't surprising really - young people are busy and tired and want to relax in their free time

Anyone that loves someone who's experiencing long covid knows the just how much impact it's had on their lives - as this piece highlights there is hopeful research on the horizon, but there's so much more that needs to be done to make moving on from the pandemic an option for everyone

Really proud of this piece. Grateful to Avalyn, Rowan and Sarah for sharing their stories. It's a national scandal that long Covid patients have been forgotten by the government, employers & society at large. The least we can do is keep talking about them www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
