What kind of infections do antibiotics fight?

Antibiotics fight bacterial infections, antibiotics do not fight all bacterial infections however, they generally fight one of two types of bacteria (gram negative and gram positive). Antibiotics have no effect on viral infections or parasites, but they are sometimes prescribed with a viral infection to prevent a bacterial superinfection - when you get a bacterial infection because your immune system was weakened by the viral infection first. Antibiotics have saved more lives than those lost in any war but overusing them or not finishing a course can lead to the evolution of resistant bacteria which can no longer be killed by antibiotics.


What inspired Fleming to search for a drug to treat bacterial infections?

Fleming found that some bacteria produce antibiotics but by mistake. He made a streak plate and it became contaminated by a fungi. He noticed around the bacteria that there was a clear space and deducted that the clear space contained antibiotics made by the fungi. This fungi was called penicillin notatum. Later Florey and Chain actually isolated the substance called an antibiotic. This term means against life. This antibiotic was mass-produced and eventually was used by the troops in World War II.

What is worse for your mental health being cyber bullied or losing a psychological war against someone?

Losing a psychological war in most cases. If someone is being cyber bullied but still has friends and family who are 'real' and in the flesh, then the effect of the cyber bullying will be limited. However, if everyone in said individual's life is posed against them somehow, then that cyber bullying could become a part of a very large and epic psychological war - individual vs. the world. Losing a psychological war is lethal to mental health, just as losing a physical war is lethal to the individual at loss. It is very hard to come back from said thing, and involves a lot of reevaluation of one's life, values, and self.
