>That's true, Scott. Unsure if this is in context with what Linkadge said (?), but it is true that the brain releases opoids when psychic pain is too overwhelming - dissociation is a primary example.

Certainly people in extreme mental states can find ways of comforting themselves, rocking themselves to sleep and developing bony calluses on the foreheads like autistic or deprived kids do, losing themselves in sounds they make and other things, fascinating, isn't it?
There's that theory about autism and some milk protein which acts on opiate receptors?
