Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara-Gan, our next episode of Psychology Unplugged.

As always, thank you to our followers here in the United States and abroad, both new and old.

I appreciate all of the continued support and feedback as I do my best to navigate the world of mental health, psychological disorders, testing, diagnostics,

psychopharmacology with Julie, and even going into more existential and spiritual realms.

almost as if, you know, don't go in the cookie jar,

but seemingly make a child or even an adolescent or adult will want to go into the proverbial

cookie jar because there must be something to it if we're told not to do it.

So I thought I would just share these with you and kind of give my own take and, you know,

Julius Harris, she may pop in as, you know, she flitters about and out of the podcast.

So the first one is school nights are strictly for staying in.

And I don't remember my parents being so adamant about that, but it was a lifestyle
