Alternatives In Mental Health


"Health" and "disease" are contrasting terms. They can be used in the physical or mental context. We know that exercise done on a regular basis keeps us healthy. Mental exercise keeps us mentally healthy. Just like after the physical exercise we need to rest, after mental training the mind also needs rest. But we hear the term "physical" rest često.Termin "mental rest" is rarely used. No doubt, therefore, that as the mental activity increases with industrialization, the stress is on the rise. This stress is the result of our inability to make our mind to become inactive or relaxed even for a short time.

Some people believe that our brain becomes inactive when we sleep. If so then you should not have dreams. Dreams are evidence that our mind remains active, even when we sleep. It simply means that our mind is active 24 hours a day with no rest at all. Just imagine how our bodies behave when we go through 24 hours of physical activity.

Although the May survey showed that 30% of mental illness can occur without the trigger of stress, it also shows that a majority - 70% - from mental illness can occur with stresom.Istraživanje failed to look at the other 30 percent, mentally ill who can not be a 'confession' stress at a given time. It gives us a pessimistic view of mental illness. We are made to believe that we can do nothing about them. We also said that mental illness occur because of our genes, our upbringing, our personality, our temperament, our way of life and can do nothing about them. Stress or no stress, we are told, if we have all these factors loaded in our personal history, we tend to have a mental illness. Some psychiatrists are strongly adhere to this belief. This belief is then placed over authoritatively as "gospel truth" of science. Of course, this brings a sense of low self-esteem and hopelessness in people suffering from this disease. We then have to believe that drugs are man-made answers to mental illness, which is the curse of nature.

Prayer, which was until recently considered unscientific, it is now shown to have beneficial effects on patients.1 Also, the current belief in psychiatry is that mental illness can be treated by medical professionals only, and a person who is mentally ill does not have control životima.Zdravstveni over their system works the way that doctors themselves have a limited selection, but no prescription lijekova.Pacijent choice worth mentioning. From a legal perspective, a person who is mentally ill is not considered capable of taking responsibility for their actions. This is one of the most unfortunate aspects of mental illness. People who are mentally ill and have a sense of responsibility in many areas of life.

The role of emotions in mental illness is completely ignored by scientists. However, research shows that the separation from his mother, two losses3 - including death, four traumatic events, especially when they appear in the previous three months5 can cause mental illness. What we looked at the history of such events in a person's life. What is ignored is the emotional turmoil it causes in the human body and mind. Emotional expression ameliorates the effects trauma.6 repeated upheavals in the body simply does not forget. Release the emotional expression of emotions explains the role of counseling and confession. We tend to believe, wrongly, that everything will resolve with time. Things do not settle with time - but not all. It is these issues and their emotional effects, which cause mental illness and psychosomatic illnesses. It is obvious that whenever we go any emotional experience, our nervous and hormonal systems are shaken-up.Živčani system and hormones control the activities along the different body parts. If neurohormonal expression is allowed to pass through completion, physiological calmness in the body. It is scientifically basis.7

For people who regularly attend church, shared experience is a sense of calm at the entrance to the church. Along with music, incense and sermons spoken in low, soft tone, a sense of calmness to the person resides. There is scientific evidence to suggest that going to church helps a person stay healthy.8 more interesting is the fact that there is little research suggests that music and aromatherapy to help mental health. However, experience shows that they have a calming effect. Only recently have papers begun to be published in scientific journals bridging the gap between spirituality and science.9 now investigating people who are religious orientation have a lower rate of stroke than those who did not religious.10

The whole area of mental illness loses a sense of freedom. When shall we find the emotional problems of our lives, we can not rid ourselves, we lose our freedom of thought. This creates stress in our mind and our body to bear the burden for him. This loss of freedom leads to feelings of fear or feelings of helplessness. And these feelings lead to feelings nesigurnosti.Osoba lose confidence in their value. Self-esteem becomes low. With a lack of confidence and low self-esteem, poor odlučivanja.Osoba suffering comes with all of these conditions when you are suffering with mental illness. This changes the behavior osobe.Ponašanje affects the way a person feels and thinks. If a person feels fear for a long time, the chance to become phobic and paranoid rise. Withdrawal from social situations going on. Family members observed that a person is not feeling well. Such a person is then asked to see a doctor. In addition to persons of low self-esteem, increases vulnerability. That does not mean, however, that the person becomes totally irresponsible towards their own welfare. Many times people want to do 'something' that would be better, but the health system has limited resources to offer much in terms of growth of persons, other than drugs. When a mentally ill person goes to seek help - self-confidence, self esteem and a sense of freedom have already been lost. Instead of helping people become independent, there is a tendency for people addicted to drugs.

Drugs play a role in controlling the disease state or condition. It does nothing to enhance the quality of life permanently. To improve their quality of life, one needs to take responsibility for their own benefit. This phenomenon is in some organizations, which are kept by the patients themselves. GROW is an example of such an organization. Are there alternatives to medication in the mental conditions? Your doctor may prescribe medication to "control" mentally stanje.Trenutni trend in other parts of the world is to encourage people who suffer with mental illness to take responsibility for their own benefit, along with medication. Psychotherapy11 and self-help remedies potiče.Korištenje in such situations is minimized or eliminated.

In psychiatry, we know that the suicide rate among physicians is higher than in the general population, and psychiatrists are at greater risk among physicians, other than specialists.12 research shows that psychotherapy is more economical than just medication to treat mental illness .13 conditions such as schizophrenia also be treated without drugs in some parts of the world.14 is also a known fact that a more positive attitude we have, the more balanced the chemicals in our body.15 it would be more acceptable to those who see the positive role of religion on mental health . Some authors suggest that future medicine will be a "prayer and Prozac." 16 Mental health is a preventive action. Should we suffer before we take steps to deal with that? If we could just take responsibility for our mental health, we may not have trpjeti.Najbolji remedy in this case certainly is prevention.

We live in a free society. Freedom is also suffering a kind of freedom. We also have the freedom to seek answers in order to reduce our suffering.
