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.
