Understanding mental illness can help us help loved ones recover from their suffering. Although it is not possible to completely understand since even scientist is often baffled, it is possible to have a basic understanding. Understanding mental health and trauma can also help us to learn more about mental illnesses. The problem starts at the door with the mental health experts. They often start out diagnosing the patient upfront, and lay out a series of diagnosis that will cover medical cost on insurance. The next step is finding the diagnosis that insurance will cover if long-term treatment is needed. As you can see upfront that, the patient is already headed for additional problems, since money is the primary issue when it comes to mental health. The patient is the last to know in many cases that he or she just stepped into a web of financial issues and entrapment treatment. In other words the patient could be diagnosed with Axis 1: Depression: Axis II: Bipolar: Axis III: Physical problems: Axis IV: Psychotic Episodes: Axis V: suicidal with serious interrupted symptoms surrounding the cause. This is obviously a serious complaint and insurance will often consider coverage since the patient is a hazard. After they are interview by an intake therapist, they are often shifted to the next level, therapy. After the therapist evaluates the patient sorting through the intakes information and watching the patient for signs or traces of symptoms related, the next level the therapist uses is diagnosing the patient with a mental disorder that complies with coverage. Most patients are diagnosed properly however, few are incorrectly diagnosed. The next level is visiting the psychiatrist who will then administer medications to treat the patient, since more money is involved they must understand what Medicaid or other insurance polices will cover. The patient is then subject to a therapist and a psychiatrist that believes they know more than the patient does. In regards to psychological disadvantages this is true, however if the patient was willing to do some research he or she might have more an advantage over the professionals since they are informed. Once they understand what symptoms are in the different diagnosis, they can then help the counselor and doctor understand more about their suffering. The best solution then is to research the diagnose that the therapist placed on you to see if this is what you are going through. Study the symptoms carefully weeding out any elements of the diagnose that may not involve you. After you have weeded through the rumble, the next step is sitting down with your therapist and letting them know that you took steps in your own recovery. You have evaluated the many diagnoses, including the diagnoses the therapist issued, and found that there are elements missing or there are elements of the diagnose that was overwrought. After you discuss with your therapist the potentials or the elements of the diagnose that was misunderstood you both can then work toward reaching an overall view of what is really go on in your life. It is important that you take notes if you have difficulty staying focused, or if you lack education, you might want to get a love one to help you with the research, notes and discussing the problem with your therapist. When we know what is going on, and what we are dealing with inside…This is a part of understanding the problem and how it connects to the people around you is if you understand what is going on within your mind, and then you can explain this to your friends and loved ones, helping them to understand. After we see where the problem lies we can then move onto the next step and start accepting that there is a problem. Dealing with the problems is your next step, which takes understanding. If you do not have understanding then the problem will only regress. Tell your loved ones and friends that you are working toward treatment and it would be helpful if they too work with you to help you find a recovery in your mental health problems. If there is no recovery, then they can work with you, understanding that you will have symptoms erupt from time to time and they will know which step to take to helping you cope.

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.

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 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.

Yes, there is a diagnosis titled Avoidant Personality Disorder. This type of personality will often avoid public, since they fear that the people will reject them, disappoint them, humiliate them, or view them as a complete failure. They often are reluctant to ask for help, ask questions, or speak in public. They also work below their abilities since promotions are often frightening for them. Most times, they suffer inferiority complexes, and suffer severe episodes of loneliness, depression, anxiety attacks, and so forth. Schizoid personality types are similar, in the sense, they will avoid public, and however avoidant personality types do not have a need to socialize. We are discussing this disorder simply because I have to question the idea of this disorder in the first place. After studying an individual with multiple personality disorder (MPD), and noticing that the individual displayed avoidant behaviors in certain areas of the persons personality, I noticed that the person was not frightened of social, rather abused and neglect by the father and by the system. The person was raised by a paranoid schizophrenia that taught her or punished her when she would go in the public, or else visit another home. When the person was able to befriend others the father, moving to another area, instantly swept her away. The young woman was different in the sense she had multiple personalities, so it was easier to fix the problem by integrating the personality that suffered the symptoms of avoidant. After Integration I noticed a tremendous change, in that the person enjoyed being around people to a degree. However, this woman was intelligent and wise to the system that she set boundaries in social engagements. This is only one individual with over 70 personalities, so it made me wonder if avoidant personality disorder was proper in some cases. I have to reason that people with avoidant personality types may have a foundation that is not explored to the degree that it should be explored. The system alone and how others treat others sometimes is enough to make anyone want to avoid public. It is important to examine all aspects of the symptoms before coming to the conclusion that the person has avoidant personality disorder. Most all (rather all) individuals with a mental disorder or illness has an underlying root which in all cases is FEAR. Once an expert works through those fears dealing with one at a time moving onto the next fear, then mental illnesses is only a state of mind. It is possible to treat mentally ill, disorders with therapy alone, and is more effective if the techniques used are appropriate to the diagnose and worked properly. Not everyone with a mental illness needs medications. Paranoid Schizophrenics, Bipolar, and a few other disorders or mental illnesses in my experience needed medication. Paranoid Schizophrenias definitely should be medicated. If you do not medicate a Paranoid Schizophrenic, you are only asking for trouble. These types will kill out of their own state of mind, simply because they believe someone is trying to hurt them, when in reality they are not. Not all schizophrenics kill, but there are known cases, including the Oklahoma Bomber that has killed. Avoidant personality disorders are easy to undo without medications, simply because the root of their symptoms is fear. We can start therapeutic treatment by working with the deepest fear the person displays. Talk therapy, role-play, and a few other therapeutic strategies could do wonders for people with avoidant personality disorders. It is important to listen to these types, since the problem lies beneath the voices that speak. When a person is telling you that he or she has a problem with socialization, we know that underneath those words is a fear that was cultivated by an incident/accident at childhood. We know that this person had endured some underdevelopment and lacks education and knowledge of the so-called normal ways. This person if taught or relearned the rules and regulations of society can in time socialize without problems. If we work through the problems without burying them with medications, we are most likely going to have fewer problems.
