Do I have schizophrenia or I am scammed by psychiatrist?
You should listen to your medical professional.
Also, I think schizophrenia often comes with paranoia so it would make sense for you to distrust anyone including your psychiatrist.

Why did the pope announce anime mascots?
Didn't believe you when reading this, apparently it is? Character doesn't look that weird and I'm completely surprised the vatican is modernizing this much

How does DNA decide the shape of the body?
I recently had a course in developmental biology and this is what I can remember the best:
From the moment of fertilization, the egg has a 'polarity', thus a direction like up and down, left and right etc. This can be established by e.g. the entry point of the sperm or protein produced by the mother in one side of the egg. From here on out protein gradients and interactions on cell membranes specify where cells are and thus what kind of tissue they should become
This early polarity leads to a certain pattern of cell division. An important part of this is the folding in of tissue layers called gastrulation, creating the beginning for the gastrointestinal tract.
In vertebrates a streak starts to form in the embryo. This is the start of the vertebrae and the neural tube in it. Also blocks of cells called somites start to form. These blocks are very important for all kinds of tissues in the body.
Hox genes make the cells in somites get an identity like head, arm etc. So in the end Hox genes are probably what you are looking for. If leg Hox genes are expressed where fruitfly normally have antennae, you get this horror:

Parents of daughter who died of measles meets with RFK Jr. to blame everyone but themselves.
they claimed...that Big Pharma used vaccines to make money, at the expense of people's health.
I see this all the time with vaccine sceptics and I mean, yeah... Can't we unite on the fact that vaccines should be public and not some private investment

They published Interstellar?!?
The paper does state that no astrophysical insights were gained, more insights on how to produce pretty yet accurate images. But still, cool!
