SYNOPSYS..
Professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences Leanne Williams have identified five subtypes of anxiety and depression based on symptoms and brain activity.
The Stanford-led study, published in JAMA Psychiatry in December, aims to differentiate mental illnesses so that doctors can match treatments more precisely to the symptoms they seek to alleviate.
Therapies for anxiety and depression typically include an inexact mix of counseling, medication and lifestyle changes.

Sally’s Electronic language has evolved along the same evolutionary path as Earthly whales and dolphins.
These Planet Earth marine mammals use the sonic properties of water to carry their language of squeaks and whistles.
Silicon Sally uses surrounding magnetic energy field to electronically transmit her telepathic pulses she uses to communicate with her species.. telepathic pulses which are the same frequency as Whale’s Song Frequencies..

In the beginning, some four and a half billion years ago, our star, the sun started collecting, via gravity, space debris, dust, rocks, and broken asteroids to finally explode into a nuclear hydrogen exchange and became our life giving energy system.
The giant Planet Jupiter almost became our second sun but it never did collect enough hydrogen gas and space debris to fire off it’s nuclear core and hence remained a planet of mostly hydrogen gas.
Lucky for us, two suns in the sky may have generated excessive solar radiation thus hindering the start of life on Planet Earth and/or evolution of any life that did occur…
What is the legal definition of sexual harassment and how does the law distinguish between workplace flirting/romance and harassment?
STORY SYNOPSIS
Stanford Law School Professor Deborah Rhode
Federal and most state civil rights laws prohibit two forms of sexual harassment. The first is quid pro quo, which includes unwelcome sexual advances and requests for sexual favors. The second form is hostile environment harassment, which has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
When does it become criminal?
Conduct becomes criminal when it involves a physical sexual assault or stalking behavior.
Individuals who experience sexual harassment can complain internally or complain to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state agency. If administrative remedies fail, they can file a lawsuit. Individuals can also use social media, as an engineer at Uber recently did. Her account went viral and forced a major investigation and resignations. See my discussion in a recent article with Joanna Grossman on what individuals can do in the Harvard Business Review.
Women who have complained about sexual harassment are at times pushed out of jobs, paid off, and made to sign nondisclosure agreements, which often prevents them from discussing the harassment, and the perpetrator is left to harass again. Why is that legal?
The law has long encouraged individuals to settle claims because it is less costly, both psychologically and financially, than litigating them. In many sex harassment lawsuits, the victim as well as the perpetrator is on trial, and the details that come out may cause complainants to be blacklisted. Yet defendants are typically unwilling to settle without a nondisclosure agreement that will protect their reputation and keep other potential complainants from seeing a pattern and practice. Many experts, myself included, believe that the law should do more to restrict the use of secrecy agreements in these settings.
What more can the law do to prevent sexual harassment?
The law needs to hold individuals and employers accountable, as well as establishing effective training programs and informal complaint processes. Organizations need to do more to monitor the effectiveness of their policies through anonymous qualitative surveys and focus groups that can expose problematic workplace behaviors and cultures.
Deborah L. Rhode is the Ernest W. McFarland Professor of Law, the director of the Center on the Legal Profession, and the director of the Program in Law and Social Entrepreneurship at Stanford University. The most frequently cited scholar on legal ethics, she is the author most recently of Women and Leadership, Adultery, The Trouble With Lawyers, What Women Want, and The Beauty Bias.
