Why do people go to jail? What caused them to behave this way? What makes them different from everyone else? We can continue asking questions about criminal’s mental health status, but we are never going to find an answer that suits us, simply because there are too many illnesses and few solutions to repairing the illnesses. In fact, some of the causes of criminal behaviors are seated on the criminal justice’s doorstep. At the beginning of criminal justice came forth a bunch of so-called law enforcement groups that claim to bring forth justice. The twisted theories including flogging, beating, hanging, dismembering, public humiliation, beheading, and the list goes on and on. Therefore, we can see the root of criminals start with the criminal justice system. We all influenced by someone else and if our superior examples are illustrating violence to others, what message are they sending to the world? In fact, the first-known psychopath was recorded in the early 1800s. This person followed the example of the justice system by behaving in manners inappropriately. Howard owned his own drug store and worked around people each day, saving lives while taking other lives and destroying them. This is similar to the justice system strategy, since the law saves lives and takes lives. We can also take a look at the various serial killers in our history and see that these people flogged, hung, beat, mutilated, public humiliated his victims, beheaded, dismembered and so forth. While each killer was different from the other, in most cases each had their own strategy to kill and torture another human. The sad part is the law in these time-tortured individuals that committed less than a felony. What a real bad example to follow, and today the law is still in some areas behaving in this manner. Rapists came in to play when the White Supremacist were allowed to rape the black race and get away with it. Although there was rape, cases before this era the White supremacist provoked sick behaviors in others as they followed closely behind the footsteps. We can ask why do people kill, and rarely find an answer since we must look at a mountain of history information to find out what the links truly are. We know that people suffer mental illnesses and some are dangerous while others are not. We can also look at the criminal justice system and see that the system is a failure in many areas, and there are people in prison that are innocent or should not be there at all. We can look at all the examples in our history and see that these people are responsible for some of the behaviors and crimes that go on in the world today. We can also look at the many minds that are locked up in the system to determine why they do what they do. We can also look at society and see how it operates and what part of responsibility they have in the many crimes and criminals actions. For example, what part do you think racism plays in mental health and crime? Well, I am studying criminal justice today and I can tell you it plays a bigger role than most people believe. What part do the media play in mental health and crime? It too plays a large role. Poverty is another major problem that links crime and mental health or illnesses together. When a person has no out, they often resort to crime, sometimes starting small and sadly most times leading to bigger crimes. However, we also have the white collar and blue-collar criminals. These people are not as special as they believe, since many criminals worked important jobs, maintained a family, and socialized in society. In fact, many of the serial killers did not come from deprived homes as claimed by the law. In fact, few came from law biding homes, and most times the person suffering is suffering because he is a child born from a hereditary nation of chaos. We can ask all types of questions but in one article we could never sum of the true colors, since the law, society, political, religions, history, mental illnesses and so on play a part in crime.

Ironically, studies have shown that certain types of movies, music and reading materials are linked to mental illnesses. For example, pornographic material has been proven to affect individuals dramatically to the point of murder, rape and other violent crimes. Such materials affect even an individual without mental illnesses simply because someone falls victim to a predator along the path. Violent movies and music has also proven to affect the mind. More and more children today are violent, and studies have shown that video games, movies and music play a large role in the children’s behaviors. Studies has also shown that children are committing murder, rape, taking drugs, alcohol, and interrupting others peoples life as a result from obsessive entertainment behaviors. Although few argue that this is ludicrous, they have no idea what they are talking about, since the ones arguing are the sources that are producing such interrupting noises. Not so long ago a young man claimed after hearing the song “Kill your Mother” countless of times, the lyrics went to his head and he acted out accordingly to the song. This is only one account linked to entertainment and mental health. Mental health is nothing to toy with and the rules were laid out from the beginning. Even God acknowledged and made it aware to everyone that such behaviors would cause disaster. Proven faithful to His words, the word is going mad because of polluted behaviors created by entertainment. Do not get me wrong, not all entertainment is bad. However, the truth is if you are associating with bad, then bad will come to you and everyone around you because of the action. However, if you are associating with good, then rewards are sure to follow. Not everyone with mental illnesses however engage in wrongful behaviors, actions, or self-exposing themselves to entertainment that harms. At least not directly, but somewhere in their lifetime they were exposed indirectly to this type of behavior. I am promising you that everyone in their lifetime has been exposed to this behavior, everyone with the exceptions of newborns. It is time we look at what goes on around us to improve mental health. We will be pounding our heads against the walls for a lifetime if we do not admit that harmful entertainment is part of the problem. Children learn what they hear, see, and are taught. Likewise, adults learn what they see, hear and are taught. No one is an exception the rule, and all of us are subjects to influences. Life is too short to be playing around with dangers. Either we are in this together are we are all working toward a disastrous future. Satisfaction guaranteed since it is showing in all areas of life. Take the terrorist attack in New York recently. What do you think linked this mental ailment to reality? While there are many explanations and reasons, the main reason is the culprits were exposed to violence during their lifetime and this is what they knew according to what they saw, worked. In addition, it did to a degree. Somewhere down the line people were communicating, however very few were listening, otherwise this would not have happen in the first place. Somebody in this picture was complaining and trying to express their emotions and thoughts, yet somebody on the other side was ignoring the cries. What it boils down to is how a person believes. If a person believes after being taught that violence is the answer to resolve a problem, then violence is what you are going to see and everyone will be affected as a result. You do not play around with faith, either you are in the race to win, or else you are on the road to death. Finally, we can see that entertainment is today more graphic, and depicts inexplicit pictures on nearly every channel, radio station, and so on today. It seems the morals and values are going down the tube, while the world is going deeper and deeper into chaos and war. No one can fix a problem as quickly as the problem occurred, but somewhere someone has to get started to resolving what has already been done.

Since new studies are proving that, many antidepressants are associated with heart attacks, strokes, behavior problems, and so on why are they still prescribing drugs. Why, because they cannot answer the thousands of question about mental health, and they are unable to find a solution in many cases to treat each individual mental illness successful…Therapists are finding that listening to the patients and including therapeutic techniques is often better than drugging the patients. Since the beginning of time, mental illness has touched our lives. Starting with Cain and Able, we can see Cain’s obsessive behaviors and jealous outrages lead him to kill his own brother in cold blood. What was he thinking? He wanted attention that Able received, and he wanted something that was not rightfully his for the taking. Throughout the episode Adam and Eve had nothing but problems, and was often consumed finding a way to survive in a chaotic environment. Later through the centuries, others followed Cain’s example, while others broke off into a more deadly game. How much deadly can it get when murder is involved. Try murder in numbers, or mutilation, dismembered, beheaded, slaughter, and so forth. All for the love of money in some cases, and all for the hatred buried in the mind of the deadly predators that walk out earth. Mental illnesses come in all forms and none of us is excluded from illnesses of the mind. If you have jealousy in your blood, you have a mental ill element that could lead to a much greater problem. If you have envy in your blood, you have the beginning of a created delusion that will escalate if the problem is not dealt with. In other cases, the problem could bury itself under the surface never brining harm to others, but will soon create more bad habits. The problem grows as mental health experts start distributing prescription drugs that increase behaviors, psych the mind, and controls the mind, while burying the problems underneath. Some antidepressants are dangerous if stopped abruptly. Antidepressants such as Effexor XR if stopped abruptly will increase symptoms such as, suicidal tendencies/thinking, violent outbursts, enraged attitudes, impulsive behaviors and so. The person obviously has something that was buried under the medication and was triggered by the chemicals combined in the drug. Antidepressants in some instances has proven dangerous, yet mental health experts around the world continue to prescribed such chemical laced dangers to mental illnesses of all sorts. It has been proven in some instances that antidepressants will increase alcohol and/or drug addiction symptoms, as well as causing major heart attacks, or damage to bone structures, which leads to many fractures. Examining medications and mental health is often difficulty since we have to consider that the advocate and the enemy are working together to bring forth a destruction. When we think of help, we know that when a person helps another that it is always a good thing. However, some of us that believe that we have a piece of paper think that we have all the answers. Otherwise, some may feel that playing against the odds is the best solution for finding the problems. The sad part is more mentally ill individuals are aware that the experts are making numerous mistakes every single day, and they are placing the blame on everyone but the ones making the mistakes. How sad when we are all one people, one nation, and under one rule. When it comes to the mind, the last thing anyone should do is play around with problems existing. In my experience, I watched as psychiatrist prescribed a young boy with drugs that created more problem than what was already in existing. The boy was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Psychopathic Tendencies, and the list goes on, and the doctors were foolish enough to give this child drugs that made him more deadly than he already was. In turn, the doctor ignored the patient when he said this only makes me angry than I already am. Now when this person goes to jail, he is the one looked down upon, but if someone was to recognize the truth and come out of denial, they are the ones in the wrong.

For year’s professionals, researchers, philosophers and many others have examined mental health searching for answers of existing disabilities. First, there are many types of mental illnesses. The types include adjustment disorders, bipolar, sexual disorders, dementia and delirium, as well as many other disorders that affect people every day. Looking at adjustment disorders, which is a common diagnosis where the person has difficulties adapting to stress. Bipolar is a very common disorder, and often I believed the diagnosis are misconstrued. Bipolar or manic-depression affects people by bringing forth symptoms such as, hyperactivity, excessive worrying, and mood swings and so on. After dealing with an individual for more than a year with Bipolar, I can tell you upfront that the individuals can drive you crazy if a solution for treatment is not ministered to immediately. The persons often suffer suicidal tendencies, which I have witnessed first hand that in most cases the patient is seeking attention. Few actually threaten suicide and actually carry it out. Most people believe that Bipolar is a mental illness, however the truth is Bipolar is directly linked to Chemical Imbalances, which means it is more neurological than psychological. In other words, the brain has chemicals that were not nourished. Therefore, when the nervous system is affected so is the mind and this is why it is labeled under mental health. The fact is recent studies has directly linked Bipolar to ancestry or genetics. Studies have shown that most patients diagnosed with Bipolar often have a family history of mood swings in the family. The problem then is treating the diagnosis affectively without over medicating or putting the patient on medications that influence psychotic breaks. I found that the root of the chemical disorders that promote mood swings is often linked to childhood development and trauma that was never dealt with. If the mind has trauma in the back and it is not brought to the front for learning, accepting, and handling, then the bipolar symptoms will often increase as a result. Yet, bipolar is not the only mental health issue we are facing today. Sexual disorders are another type of disorder that separates itself entirely from bipolar, adjustment disorders, and other types of diagnosis. Sexual deviation is more often than not linked to pornography, abuse, (not always), and other types of negative behaviors. However, recent studies have proven that Serial Killers or else psychopath or sociopath behaviors are hereditary. Some studies have attempted to prove that the symptoms are a direct link to child abuse; however, I stand to correct them. This may be true in some cases, but not all cases. I won’t go directly into this subject, since I will be writing a book specifically discussing serial killers later, however I wanted to point this issue out since sexual disorders are in fact psychological. There has been evidence that link impairments in the brain that are causing the interruptions. The mind is a tricky thing, and until humankind is able to understand the mind completely and start accepting some realities, we are going to continue dealing with mental health and mental illnesses with little results. Again, I will be addressing these issues in later copies, but for now, we need a briefing to see where mental health is heading. Dementia and delirium are mind disorders in the sense the disability causes memory loss, confusion, and is very common in the older generation of people. The diagnosis can confuse professionals if the patient is younger, since other diagnosis has similar disadvantages. Diagnosis such as alcoholism and drug disorders often causes mental blackouts, as well as other symptoms. Although this is listed under mental health, I stand to correct them when they call the impairment a disorder. Alcoholism and drugs is often linked to hereditary and is considered a disease. Alcohol and drugs automatically affect the mind to a degree, but it entirely depends on the status of the mind before drugs or alcohol became an issue. Often alcoholism and drug addictions are directly linked to mental illnesses. This means that there is an issue under the surface, and the patient often uses alcohol or drugs to cover the ailment.

Therapists around the globe are constantly searching for answers that help them understand mental illnesses. Cognitive disorders including, dementia, delirium, alcohol-induced disorders, and other related disorders are under constant studies. Most cognitive disorders listed in this article have classic denominators, including loss of memory. Most of the diagnoses are linked to disease of the brain or biological disease, or else alcoholism and related chemicals. Often people with cognitive disorders have difficulty with speech, including relating with others, and reasoning. Their judgment is often affected, and their ability to recognize is often comprehended differently than the normal mind. Often the patients suffer depression, irritation, paranoia, and other related symptoms that could easily be misdiagnosed, since bipolar has similar characteristic symptoms. Delirium includes symptoms that target the awareness, signals confusion, effects speech, loss of memory, imposes fear, stems depression, and many other symptoms that affect the patient. Physical symptoms also insult the patient. Increased heart rate, disturbance in sleep, nausea, and many other physical symptoms make it difficult for the patient to find comfort. Recent studies have shown however that medications can increase symptoms in the disorder, including strokes, heart attacks, imbalances and so forth. Dementia is a type of Alzheimer disease that causes the patient to lose memory, learning inabilities, language impairments, and so forth. AIDS stokes, heart failures, and other chronic problems may cause a person to suffer dementia. People that suffer dementia may personal hygiene incapacities, poor judgment, avoidance, personality altering, and so forth. The diagnoses can be misconstrued for several disorders, including major depressive. It is important to avoid alcohol if you are suffering with any symptoms of mental illness. Alcohol only increases the symptoms interruptions and causes more harm to the patient. Many mental ill patients will resort to alcohol and/or drugs to find a source of relief from their suffering. This is not the solution and should be avoided at all cost. Alcohol-induced disorders are classified in cognitive disorders simply because the symptoms are related, and many of the diagnoses are a direct result of substances in many cases. This is not true of all mentally ill patients. Therapists have treated many patients that have never touched alcohol or drugs. Although many counselors will try to find this as an excuse to eliminate the worst-case scenario. Alcohol induced disorders are also known as ‘Korsakoff’s Syndrome,” which affects the memory directly. Symptoms often include memory loss, denial, indifferences, sometimes-violent behaviors, and so forth. Most alcoholic or drug patients are direct link nutritional deficiencies, which often include B-Complex. It is often difficult to treat alcoholism, however it is possible. It takes the person to will their self free of the substances, acceptance is the beginning of recovery. Many patients that are alcoholics or addicts sometimes treated with medications for physical impairments. I have acknowledged obsessive medicinal deliveries, and often the medicines that are provided to the patient with trigger the alcoholism symptoms. High dosage of B-Complex is often given to patients in extensive outpatient/inpatient therapy where alcohol and drugs are the problem. If the patient is at an early stage then it is possible to treat the patient affectively. Nowadays alcoholism is affecting children, and it is time that we take a step to stop the increase of alcoholism and drug addictions, before it is too late. Therapists are constantly searching for a way to resolve the many mental illnesses today. As they study, they are finding that more problems are out there and it only slows them down, since when they find new discoveries they focus on this problem, pushing the other diagnoses to the back momentarily or else linking them together. Mental illness whether it be alcoholism or other diagnoses is not a game. There are millions of people around the globe suffering everyday and are rarely receiving the care they deserve. We all people and all of us deserve care, including (if not more so) those with mental illnesses. In the next article, we are going to discuss more severe disorders, including antisocial behaviors, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, schizoid, schizotypal, and so forth. I think it is important that we all have a basic knowledge of the many diagnoses in the world. Having a basic knowledge can help us to cope or help someone that is suffering mental illnesses.
