Psychological Disorders

 Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Experts are now reviewing the new version of psychology handbook the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5 which filled with conditions you've probably heard of before, such as anxiety and amnesia, due to be published in May 2013, and determining which new diagnoses to include.

Here are seven conditions of Psychological Disorder under consideration for inclusion in the new edition :

Good Stress And Bad Stress

 Corpus Curare Spiritumque

The stress response of the body is somewhat like an airplane readying for take-off. Virtually all systems (eg, the heart and blood vessels, the immune system, the lungs, the digestive system, the sensory organs, and brain) are modified to meet the perceived danger.

Psychology for Self Defense And Street Fight

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Let's speak about the psychological aspect of a street collision. You should differentiate two items. 

You must realize, whether your fight is a result of a usual domestic conflict, or you are attacked by a robber, killer or bandit. 

Your actions will flow depending on these circumstances.

Acupressure Versus Physical Therapy

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

We all know Acupressure has been around for some 5,000 years now and those of us involved in Holistic and wellness remain convinced that the procedures encompassed within this sphere are more efficacious than physical therapy. Every living being has a life force, or energy, called qi or chi (pronounced "chee"). When this energy, which runs along meridians, is in balance and flowing freely, the body is in a state of health. Acupoints tap into the the major energy pathways of the body.

Arthritis Natural Treatment

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

There are actually three common types of arthritis. The treatments which you will need will depend on the type, so please read carefully. The main type is Osteoarthritis which is the most common, affecting around 16 million Americans with an average age of 45. It usually will attack weight bearing joints like knees, hips, and ankles but has been found in the fingers, neck and spine. Each of our joints is cushioned by cartilage, a very dense, sponge-like substance. Osteoarthritis attacks that cartilage and gradually wears it down.

Critique and Defense of Psychoanalysis

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

"I am actually not a man of science at all. . . . I am nothing but a conquistador by temperament, an adventurer." (Sigmund Freud, letter to Fleiss, 1900)

"If you bring forth that which is in you, that which you bring forth will be your salvation". (The Gospel of Thomas)

"No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we cannot get elsewhere." (Sigmund Freud, "The Future of an Illusion")

Autism - Living With Autism

 Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Do you know children affected with autism find it difficult to communicate and to become socialized? There are two notions about the existence of autism. One thought is that autism is due to a bio-chemical imbalance, and the other notion is it is a psychological disorder. The autism-affected children seldom communicate with others except to fulfill their needs.

Relaxing The Mind

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

What is relaxation?

In common terminology, relaxation means that we leave ourselves free of tension. 

Relaxing mind may mean that the mind is not under stress or active. 

In today's lifestyle, this looks difficult. Isn't it?

Schizophrenia Symptoms and Diagnosis

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

There is currently no physical or lab test that can absolutely diagnose schizophrenia - a psychiatrist usually comes to the diagnosis based on clinical symptoms. 

What physical testing can do is rule out a lot of other conditions (seizure disorders, metabolic disorders, thyroid disfunction, brain tumor, street drug use, etc) that sometimes have similar symptoms.

Blood Pressure Drug May be a "Vaccine" for Mental Illness and Minimize Brain Damage

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

A new study suggests that an existing drug used to treat high blood pressure and enlargement of the prostate may protect the brain from damage that is related to schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders linked to high levels of stress hormones in the brain. 

This is a potentially important study that could have significant applications in early treatment programs for psychosis and schizophrenia.

First Aid for Schizophrenia and Psychosis

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

A group that is a leader in the identification, treatment and prevention of schizophrenia (ORYGEN Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne, Australia) has recently come out with a list of "First Aid" actions to be taken by parents and family members, counselors, police officers, etc. 

For people who are beginning to experience psychosis (loss of touch with reality) and schizophrenia.

Anxiety

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Anxiety can be defined as emotions which are typically negative in nature. It will often consist of fear and worry, and some organisms may even experience physical signs such as nausea or chest pains. Anxiety is a complex emotion, and is composed of a number of different elments. Some of these elements are somatic or cognitive, and the body will prepare itself to deal with an external threat. The heart rate speeds up, and the blood pressure is increased. The various muscles in the body will also receive elevated levels of blood. At the same time, the functions of the digestive system will slow down.
