Your words may predict your future mental health, by Mariano Sigman | TED Talk Recommendation

Admittedly, having focused on communication in Undergrad, I found this talk more interesting than the average Joe.  Mariano Sigman blends the science and universe if you will, to set us down the path to understand his idea.  The data and research, ah!

A quick synopsis of his TED talk… Can the way you speak and write today predict your future mental state, even the onset of psychosis? In this fascinating talk, neuroscientist Mariano Sigman reflects on ancient Greece and the origins of introspection to investigate how our words hint at our inner lives and details a word-mapping algorithm that could predict the development of schizophrenia. "We may be seeing in the future a very different form of mental health," Sigman says, "based on objective, quantitative and automated analysis of the words we write, of the words we say."
