Medicine has always attracted perfectionists. The problem is that the kind of perfectionism increasingly common among young adults today may be exactly the kind physicians can least afford.

A new meta-analysis published in Psychological Bulletin found that while perfectionism among college students has risen substantially since the 1980s, the sharpest increases came in what researchers call “perfectionistic concerns”: a fear-driven orientation centered on anxiety about mistakes, failure, and others’ critical judgment.

Researchers say this shift matters for medicine, a field that has long rewarded diligence, precision, and exceptionally high personal standards. But when perfectionism is driven more by fear of failure than by the pursuit of excellence, it may undermine learning, decision-making, and potentially even patient care. https://mdsc.pe/4xMvcXy

Do you and your partner need to have the same interests to be compatible? Not exactly.

People do typically form relationships with those of similar ethnicity, religion, education, and lifestyle behaviors; it’s known as homophily. We naturally self-sort based on our interests, too. If you frequent a certain bar or join a local civic organization, you’ll meet people who share at least one thing in common with you.

And dating apps make screening for these similarities easier than ever; it’s not difficult to, say, write off hikers or keep your eyes peeled for fellow art enthusiasts.

Although apps broaden the dating pool to include people outside of your usual social contexts, all it takes is a swipe to w**d out potential matches based on your perceived dissimilarities. But that can be ill-advised, because what we think we want in a partner isn’t necessarily what we actually want.

New analysis of 438 trials ranks antipsychotics in by efficacy:
1. Clozapine
2. Amisulpride, olanzapine, and risperidone

Xanomeline–trospium (Cobenfy) also ranks high for efficacy. It's also best for long-term side effects, but patients were more likely to stop it in the short term due to GI/cholinergic side effects.

See how the rank across 7 side effects here:
