Mental Health Issues

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.

Avoidant Disorders in Mental Health

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.

Criminal Minds in Mental Health

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.

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.

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.
