Our mental health can vary according to our circumstances and can change across our lifetime, in the same way as our physical health does.
Mental health problems are among the most common of all health conditions, directly affecting about a quarter of the population in any one year. Depression and anxiety are the most widespread conditions.
Anxiety disorders – Mental Health
Anxiety disorders can take many forms. You may experience free-floating anxiety without knowing exactly why you’re feeling that way. You may suffer from sudden, intense panic attacks that strike without warning. Your anxiety may come in the form of extreme social inhibition or in unwanted obsessions and compulsions. Or you may have a phobia of an object or situation that doesn’t seem to bother other people.
Symtoms Of Anxiety Disorders
• Apprehension, uneasiness, and dread
• Impaired concentration or selective attention
• Feeling restless or on edge
Mental Health – Type of Dementia
Dementia is the loss of mental functions, such as thinking, memory and reasoning, that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s daily life. Dementia is not a disease itself, but rather a group of symptoms that may accompany certain diseases or conditions. Symptoms may involve changes in personality, mood and behavior.
Causes of Dementia
• Vascular disorders, such as multi-infarct dementia, which is caused by multiple strokes in the brain
• Depression
• Infections of the central nervous system such as meningitis, HIV, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a quickly progressing and fatal disease that is characterized by dementia and muscle twitching and spasm
Causes of Mental Health Illness
Although the exact cause of most mental illnesses is not known, it is becoming clear through research that many of these conditions are caused by a combination of biological, psychological and environmental factors.
Symptoms Of Mental Health Disturbance
ACTING DIFFERENT THAN USUAL. Can you link this change in behavior to something that has happened recently? Any event, such as the death of a close relative, or even something positive – like a job promotion – can trigger a troublesome emotional reaction.
BECOMES AGGRESSIVE, RUDE, AND ABUSIVE OVER MINOR INCIDENTS. Are there remarks about groups or individuals “out to get me?” If that last remark was made in all seriousness, and blowups and violent physical behavior occur, there is a strong indication some help may be required.
The greatest symptoms which trigger mental health concerns have to do with the person’s ability to function. When they suddenly start missing a lot of work or school or losing jobs, not eating or eating too much, barely sleeping or not sleeping at all, and seem to be irritable or angry with everyone and everything, these are usually early symptoms of mental health issues. As symptoms progress the individual may experience self harm such as cutting or burning themselves and taking unnecessary risks with their safety. Any significant drastic change can be a symptom of a mental health issue
Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
Here this nice Video about mental health
In part because of rejection rates during the World War II draft, concerns about the health – including mental health – of the US population developed in the 1940s. The issue was further spotlighted by efforts to deal with readjustment of returning veterans. Hollywood films such as “Spellbound” (1945) and “The Snakepit” (1948) also highlighted the issue. This video provides a popular introduction to the issue. At the time, drug therapies often used today were not available. The only such …
Find your answer for your own question related to mental health
What mental health services could you benefit from?Hi, I'm conducting an informal survey for mental health services, my question is, if you were to receive counseling or assistance from a mental health services provider, what would you want? For example if you are depressed, what kind of attention/care would you hope to get? I appreciate your time. Thanks!
Amazing video!

i love your channel keep up the good work!
Tell me which lawyer to go to in the USA which sues shrinks for drugging me blind–then afterI got my sight back, they want t do it again.
Cherry picking your treatments does no good. All of the drugs used in the majority of psychiatric drug classes cause blindness.
if i hear voices isn’t it because someone just asked me a question?
STAY FREE!: I've heard that people in more affluent nations are more often treated for mental illnesses like depression than people in nations of low or moderate wealth. So does this mean that there is more mental illness in affluent places or is it just a consequence of poor people not having access to mental health care?
KIRMAYER: I think it's mostly the latter, though in many cases we don't know because there aren't enough epidemiological studies. If you want to make a generalization, then it's probably safe to say that poor countries have more mental-health problems, but by saying "poor" nowadays, you often mean societies where there is a huge level of conflict and violence. So it's not simply poverty–you can have a small, well-integrated rural society where people don't have a lot of material goods but they have excellent mental health.
STAY FREE!: Do people in different cultures commit suicide for different reasons?
KIRMAYER: Yes. Of course, the overriding reason, which is common across cultures, is overwhelming hopelessness and the desire to escape suffering. But there are also socially sanctioned reasons that can valorize suicide; in traditional Japan, suicide was a way of maintaining honor. To some extent, this is still a factor. People who have financial reversals will commit suicide not just to escape the problem but to make a gesture that acknowledges responsibility and hence restores honor in some way. Some of that's been exaggerated. There's been a stock image of the Inuit [the indigenous peoples of the arctic formerly called the Eskimo] as having a tradition of altruistic suicide in which older people sacrifice themselves for younger people. Granted, there were situations in which a whole family was starving and an elder would volunteer to be left behind. But that's a kind of self-sacrifice that people from many cultures could understand if they were facing similarly desperate circumstance so I'm not sure that should be viewed as suicide.
STAY FREE!: Has any interesting work been done on social stereotypes? Like the idea that Eastern European Jews are more neurotic?
DID seems to be thrown around a whole lot, more so by people who have really little knowledge of it and have gathered all their information from movies or Wikipedia or have just pulled the disorder out of their ass to describe whatever it is they are supposedly feeling – "I talk to myself, do I have DID?", "I make up fake identities online just for shits and giggles, I must have DID."
It seems there are a select few people who are quick to jump and self-diagnose – whether they like feeling special, different, or like the idea of getting attention, it's all pretty ridiculous. It doesn't necessarily annoy me but despite me having DID I can't help but laugh at the people who'll diagnose themselves and parade around.
What a refreshing commentary!
Psychiatry isn’t perfect, and atrocities do happen even in “enlightened” parts of the world. Not all of it is bad though. As a patient myself I’ve responded by becoming my own advocate and cherry-picking the treatments that work for me. I’ve taught many fellow patients to do the same, and how to file formal complaints and things to affect change from within. Thanks for all the good work you do.
We believe in psychiatry, as any other coercive institution because we have been propagandized to believe in such. Because, all around us, such beliefs have been hammered into us. But so-called mental illness is a metaphor for “difficulties in living”. Listen to Dr.Thomas Szasz, whose 50 years of demystifying writings strengthen Breeding’s truths! Meaningful communities beyond hierarchy and coercion is key here! See also the Mental Patients Liberation Alliance!
He's abusing her because she is letting him do it.
You are right, why would she keep talking to someone who isn't even attracted to her and said so!
She is only talking to him online and he's mean as well as just ignorant.
Why is a good question.
He is having a blast abusing her, and she keeps on communicating with him.
I don't know much about online laws, but I would be finding out if her mom can go a legal way to stop him.
A girl killed herself because of a bully on myspace. Something legal happened with that. Check it out for more info.
The only thing that stops and idea is a better idea.
Step up your friendship, get her mind off him by keeping her busy having fun!
I really wanted to help you but the way you put your question is so vague, you should've separated 2 articles with titles article one and then article two all without the unnecessary details of the authors contact numbers and emails.

Depends on what you need it for. If it's for a class (which I suspect it is), then forget about it. Do your own work.
Otherwise, this article is as summarized as it can be. It's not a full report on the findings & research. It's just a summary of the actual research. Why not read the work & do it yourself? You'll understand it more & your grade will be much better in class. Teachers can tell when you cheat.
emotionally i m a mess my psychiastrist has me on 3 medications and i still feel as shitty as before. my nervous system is wack and is bcuz i have manic depression (i never smile) and ocd. i agree tat psychiatry is a sham bcuz it has not helped me in the least. the doctor says if u do not take them u will go nuts bcuz u will not b able to sleep . i have negativge thoughtys all day long, etc. the person with it feels like shit and is not trying to get attention mots times the fear is real.
Alex Chiu’s Immortality Rings actually cure mental illness. I have a cousin who is 23 but acts like 12. Her mother made her wear the Alex Chiu rings and she started to act a little normal. I guess the rings allow blood flow to the brain so she became a little normal. There are lots of testimonials online about Alex Chiu’s rings.
“Get Jesus he can help! ”
Yes he can, he may even bring the end times. The end of an Era, the end of time-Time being a product of construction. The clock, the second, the minute being a matter of senses and connection. A second to you is a minute to another is a instant to another, which of the three do you think can pull the rug out underneath you so to speak?
The worst oppression is to ourselves, not using the brain correctly, and so we project it on everyone else. There are techniques to get a cure for our insane society, but it starts with the individual. I wonder if that would help mental illness. Maybe we could talk. Continuing to make money off the issue can be an incentive to not dealing with ourselves and our issues so we at least aren’t oppressing ourselves anymore…
Looks excellent to me. Good job!
I certainly appreciate this man’s spirit, You can tell that his care id for others and that he is not attempting to pad his wallet. This is a refreshing perspective in this money driven world.
One side effect of psychiatric medication includes not being able to urinate. Imagine needing to use the bathroom badly, but being unable to let out any urine. It is quite a terrible feeling really. May none of you reading this ever have to experience it.
Also I agree – there is logical reason to give a person bashing their head against a wall a tranquilizer to calm them down a bit.
Psychiatric medication might be helpful perhaps in extreme cases where there is absolutely no alternative. Currently there is no physiological test which can show that a person has a chemical imbalance. This perhaps can explain why psychiatrists often have a hard time describing a normal brain with balanced chemicals.
In a previous comment you also stated that psychiatric medications cure. I think the more appropriate word to describe the situation is manage, or perhaps mask.
this doesnt sound like help it sounds like do it for me
Fuck your doctor. Hes getting fat paid off of your pain. According to you hes done nothing to help and I bet he’ll tell you if you try to get off the pills that you will get worse, and you may
they both have words and are too long for me to read
So what you’re saying is you don’t trust Him? Shame on you. He loves you
What I’m saying is that if he were here he’d probably be kicking ass, mainly the asses of his “followers” E.G. the people enslaved by a bible that had nothing to do with his teachings but built a political empire. Also, the end time already occurerd, Einstein brought it. The next step is merging into the new era where all of this will repeat in some way or another, on and on.
the private is political
Your article is interesting, it made me think. Maybe I'll stop reading all the gossip columns about Britney, you're right they are very cruel and we are only fuelling it by reading it, even if its only parcial interest.
explore your paranoia.. investigate it

Someone once said when the only tool you have is a hammer your going to see every problem as a nail.
Of course there are about 350 mental disorders. It makes the people who vote on them feel as if they are doing something important.
I don’t think people can get away with negative -thoughts and -words. We have to change them, and put +spin on them and not use -words. I think we are made that way. Maybe manics need to use -wrds and not +wrds. Even a nuclear reactor needs carbon rods to slow it down and they are removed to speed it up. 1 and 1/2 weeks allowing a bunch of the tinniest -thoughts and they added up to my deepest depression, but it lasted about 3 min, cuz when I stood up it disappeared. I lost respect for -wds.
Because God told us not to eat it, its that simple. Any sanitary, hygienic reasons are pure speculation.
[002.173] He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than God (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which God's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity without willful disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

There is a lot of overlap in diagnoses. The good news is that you can't have all of these things. The not so good news is that it sounds like you've got something going on. The silver lining is that what you've got is features of different disorders indicating an overall higher functioning than someone who is severe in anything. OCD is anxiety based, and there may be an anxiety component to you. The ADHD hard to say but I don't think so, I think its more depression based. The dependent personality disorder I think also is coming up due to depression. My impression would be schizoaffective disorder with anxiety. The hypergraphia (excessive writing) does look manic. That covers the mixed episodes of depression, mania, bipolar quiz, schizophrenia quiz. It is dealable. If you feel you are having a breakdown then you need to call your doc or go to the ER to go inpatient. You may need more support than what outpatient can do for you.
Get Jesus he can help!
What is the chemical unbalance responsible for normal behavior?
I think that mental health institutions are basicaly power structures inherently working together with the actual value-system most people in a given society share. Thus are tools to reinforce te status-quo of social and cultural prejudices. I other words psychiatry subserves not the individual but the community, it integrates the need of the many to rule over the behaviors of the few and radically different. Thus its a power-game of reinstalling “normalcy”.
