Cognitive Mental Health Disorders

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.

Entertainment and Mental Health

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.

Antidepressants in Mental Health

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.

Anger Management Out of Control

Anger is stemmed from hate and when it is not dealt with the person often acts out aggressive putting self and others at risk. Persons acting out in anger often have underlying issues that is missed, or else has not been diagnosed. It could be relatively to alcohol and/or drug abuse, as well as mental illnesses. Often the individuals have difficulty dealing with their emotions and feelings and will attack out of anger. The root of this frustration is often rooted somewhere in the persons past. The individual may have been abused as a child, underdeveloped or severely neglected. Another underlying cause may contribute to negative influences. For example if a child has been bullied and no one handles the situation, he or she will probably develop anger and it will continue to grow. There are classes developed for people that have inability to control their behaviors or anger. The classes are designed to get the patient to open up and address his or her feelings and emotions, and then come to an area of management. The classes often have other individuals with the same level of uncontrolled anger and together they work to get along with others. Often a trained therapist will conduct the classes and deal with each other in a group-oriented atmosphere allowing each person to explain his or her problems and situation. The therapist will often work to address each individual, sometimes making them angry in an effort to find the root of the problem. When therapist is dealing with hate and anger, they must stay alert since potential risks are involved. If a person is triggered and anger is the issue, the person may become violent. Violence is something we all want to avoid; therefore, to deal with the patient therapist must enter with caution. Again, there are underlying issues to address; therefore, we must look at all aspects of the person’s behaviors, thinking patterns, logic, and so forth. If the person is illustrating illogical thinking then it is obvious we must get the person on track. Of course, the patient may have cause for the anger, yet we must teach him or her how to deal with it in a more suitable method. We can look at the thinking patterns to determine if mental illness is the underlying source of the person’s disability. If mental illness is involved, we want to send the person to a qualified mental health expert for evaluation. However if alcohol and/or drugs are involved when want to send the person to drug and alcohol classes. By combining mental health expertise, anger management classes and/or drug and alcohol classes, we can work toward recovery on the level of problem. After a series of treatment, it might be that the patient will also need medications to control his or her anger. Often when a person has anger issues and is allowed to talk through their problems they often find relief and can move forward into a positive light. Anger is a miserable home to habitat, therefore someone is suffering as a result and everyone is at risk. None of us really wants to undergo pain and suffering. When a person has anger issues, it often affects the central nervous system, the mind, body and so forth. This adds additional risks to the person suffering and if not addressed us are looking at more cash and time to deal with additional problems. If you notice, your child is showing aggressive behaviors it is important to get help immediately. Most parents care for their children and often notice when a child is behaving inappropriately and often. It may be that the child has a mental illness from hereditary is in need of immediate help before other symptoms develop. If you have a teenage child that is, showing aggressive behaviors you might want to sit him and her down and ask what is going on at school? If your child had not illustrated these types of behaviors before then something is going on. Before it gets out of hand, help him or her to learn to manage their anger. Life is too short to let your child go unnoticed.

Antisocial and Psychopathic Links in Mental Health

How does Antisocial and Psychopathic Disorders in mental health boil down to one diagnose? Let us examine the symptoms carefully to see where this topic is going. First, the experts use the diagnose Conduct Control Behaviors or Disorders before they diagnose a patient over the age 18 with Antisocial Personality Disorder. This particular disorder often has other underlying disorders that mimic the symptoms of the actual diagnose. The symptoms include but not limited to fire starters, truancy, theft, harming of people and animals, hostility toward authority, violent outbursts, dangerous sexual acts, willful or malicious destruction of property, compulsive-impulsive explosions, crime, and we cannot go any further than this simply because it will scare you out of your seat. Now let us take a look at Psychopathic symptoms, which include, fire starting, bed wetting, harming or killing people and animals, explosive outbursts, conduct control disorders, inability to regard others, destructive, truancy, neglectful, sexual deviants, hostility toward authority, inability to show remorse or express emotions, impulsive-compulsive behaviors, criminal minded, and we can go on and on. The problem is Antisocial Personalities, Sociopath Personalities, Histrionic Personality and Psychopathic Personalities coupled with a few others all CANNOT show emotions and never show remorse for their behaviors. If they do, it is SUPERFICIAL. Now we can see that mental health and the two different diagnoses link, simply because someone is confused in between. The differences between the diagnosis is slight, yet there is underlying sources that make them different, when in reality the two are the same and someone wants another prognosis to make additional cash off a patient suffering with mental illness. Antisocial Disorder and Psychopathic Disorder are actually one in the same; the only difference is someone is searching for another tool to interrupt the first diagnoses. Instead of saying that a person has psychopathic disorders, they can add on Antisocial Personality Disorder, Psychopathic Traits and Tendencies and make a few extra bucks or spend a few trying to figure out what is already in front of them. Now we can see the link, since one is an advocate of the other. This is also were the confusion comes in, since most experts are conflicting over the diagnose Antisocial Personality Disorder. They had the correct term from the get-go when they used Psychopathic. Psychopathic Personalities types are up on reality, there morals and social beliefs however is what determines there symptoms. They often engage is sexual exploits and are often gravely affected by the inappropriate materials. Pornographic materials are often the leading cause behind the mind of a psychopathic. Few experts believe these people are drug addicts; however, this is not always true. Alcohol and drugs are often used for an excuse for mental illnesses, and the law and mental health experts are responsible for this excuse since these people are always accusing. The truth is these people often have hereditary traits and the behaviors are linked to genes. Not ever psychopathic individual engages in alcohol and drugs, and the history recorded has proven this. Therefore, when we are dealing with Antisocial and Psychopathic we are seeing the same personality disorder. I have first-hand exploited the mind of a psychopathic personality for more than eighteen years now, and did not see any evidence of drugs or alcohol. The individual was diagnosed both with Psychopathic Tendencies and Antisocial and having including many techniques I found these people can be controlled. It takes time, effort, patience, understanding, and a lot of tough love. Therefore, not all psychopathic personality types resort to murder if only the system would put forth the effort to stop or else control the personality types. Most times experts will claim there is no treatment for these types of personalities, and often these leads to deadly grounds. The truth is the experts do not want to deal with in most cases and will wait until the person kills before someone takes the step to stop them. Of course, it takes years to work through the symptoms, but in the long run lives are saved. If time is more important that a life then serial killers will continue killing. We need to stop this now before someone else dies.
