Understanding psychotic breaks

[confused2]

I get the impression that the root of 'this' is a group with access to the health and employment records of the entire population of Denmark - about 5.8 million people. Data mining is turning up some interesting and some possibly spurious connections. One might expect about half the population of Denmark to be working so a dataset of 250,000 is about 5% [edit 10%] of the working population. Why select only 5% [edit 10%]- the companies with a high incidence of reported mental health problems? Within the dataset there will be companies where the incidence of mental health problems (statistically) rises and falls. Within that subset there will be companies where the incidence of mental health problems rises with the transfer of an employee from another company with mental health problems and you have a clickbait result.

There is spurious correlation, but there's also some fact behind the notion that infections can altar behavior, like syphilis damaging the brain.

While the notion of positive behavioral changes due to an infection is a stretch, the general idea of infection causing mental illness is not fringe.

Thanks for confirming that mental illness is caused by a dysfunctional brain.

As usual, you're a cherry-picking moron. You're always only capable of reading and agreeing with things that fit your existing bias...all while whining about others not accepting your "truth" about ghosts, UFOs, etc..
