Mental Illness List – Crop Failures And Illness Are Realities

We must consume at least 3 whole ounces grains per day, as pointed out by the USDA 2.

a whole grain, unlike refined grains, still has the bran and the germ attached.

Whole grains are rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins. Vegans may have to supplement their zinc and B12 vitamin intake as these foods are not rich in them. Vegans, who do not eat any foods from animal sources, may get their protein from nuts, seeds, soya, beans and quorn. Sometimes it can be hard getting kids to have milk and dairy but And so it’s an essential vitamin A source, and they don’t need to drink milk to get it! Spreadable cheeses are another tasty treat for kids to have on their sandwiches. For example, yoghurts are great kind of dairy with lots of calcium, and they’re also tasty for children to enjoy! Although, it also gives us quite a few vitamin A which helps fight infections and gives us healthy skin and eyes, we all know that milk and dairy gives us strong bones and teeth. I’m sure that the fact that lithium has a calming affect on individuals who behave in this manner is often cited as proof that the behavior in question really does stem from an illness.

Very few rational people would conclude from this that shyness is an illness and alcohol a medication.

The logic is untenable.

Couple of beers can be very effective in helping shy people overcome their inhibitions. Lithium has a calming effect on all people -not just those who carry a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Indeed, the fundamental tenet of this site is that most of us know that there are no mental illnesses, and that conceptualizing human problems in this way is spurious, destructive, disempowering, and stigmatizing. You should take it into account. Phrase mental health as used in the name of this website is simply a term of convenience. It specifically does not imply that the human problems embraced by this term are illnesses, or that their absence constitutes health. In the real problem will work.

He can simply drink a couple of beers before almost any social situation.

Like the alcohol, it also has some long period of time consequences, the latter is often quite effective in dampening the behavioral excesses.

Similarly the manically irresponsible person can acknowledge his problem behaviors and tackle them in the normal way -or he can take lithium carbonate. Fact, the chronically shy person can acknowledge his problem and take corrective action using the normal time honored methods of effecting personal change. Usually, if a person has had a manic or hypomanic episode, he has bipolar disorder, dSM lists a couple of variations of Bipolar Disorder, every with its own specific criteria. By the way, the manic episode is an important part of the DSM system as long as it acts as the basis for a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. They are merely labels. As explanations they are spurious, unhelpful, and indeed, ‘counter productive’, the ‘so called’ mental illnesses are an attempt to explain or understand these phenomena. Make sure you scratch a few comments about it below. The central point of this and my earlier posts is that So there’re no mental illnesses.

Mostly there’re problems of living -problems that human beings encounter, sometimes resolve, sometimes live with.

Is the arbitrariness of the number chosen.

Notion that these two presentations are as a matter of fact manifestations of similar illness is untenable. I want to ask you a question. Why three? Besides, let’s say, a person meeting criteria 1, 3 and 4 gonna be grandiose, overly talkative, and somewhat scattered in his choice of topics. On p of this, you definitely should better two or four? Generally, the answer, definitely, is as long as the APA says so. That’s right! That’s particularly so in that the main justification for this position is that the APA say so.

Therefore the second objection is that different groupings of three will generate very different presentations.

Whereas a person who meets criteria 2, 5, and 7 may be sleeping very little, very distractible, and gonna be maxing out his credit cards in unrestrained buying sprees.

Now this practice of providing a list of symptoms and specifying what amount must be present to provide a diagnosis is very common in DSM and raises obvious difficulties. Medicalization of all human problems is all about turf. Consequently, the purpose of these diagnoses is to legitimize psychiatric intervention and the prescription of drugs in any and every human problem. I’m sure that the American Psychiatric Association is the psychiatrists’ trade union, and has as its primary agenda the promotion of its members’ interests. This is where it starts getting really intriguing, right? At the present time one will be hard pressed to identify any problem of human living that ain’t covered by a DSM diagnosis. Now pay attention please. That’s the reason why they exist. For example, the serious issue with the APA, however, is that they been so successful. Then again, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with this -all trade associations we have attempting to have their cake and eat it so that’s a very serious matter. How can identical illness manifest itself in such completely different ways? Take in mind that I’m talking about not relatively trivial, incidental facts of the notorious illness. It’s indeed a strange illness. Very essence of bipolar disorder -according to DSM -is an episode of profound happiness or an episode of profound grumpiness and irritability. So very basis for a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder is either feeling particularly good about everything or feeling particularly grumpy and angry. That said, we are looking at the defining features. You should take this seriously. Most of the individuals who are assigned this label do sometimes behave in a crazy fashion. It’s not among the defining features of a manic episode. I realize that many people reading this post will say that I’ve got it all wrong -that I’ve misrepresented the reality of the condition called bipolar disorder.

It’s essential to note that in the DSM, that said, this aspect of the matter -psychotic features -is included almost as an afterthought.

So there’s a measure of truth in this.

Rather, it’s something that can be present. They might say that people with this diagnosis are crazy -not just irresponsible or ‘selfindulgent’. We are looking at decisions that people have to make for themselves. At the risk of repetition, I am not saying that people shouldn’t use drugs. It’s not for me to tell people what they should or shouldn’t ingest. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… What I do object to, though, are the spurious notions that these pharmaceutical products are medicines, and that they are being prescribed to combat illnesses. You see, the notion that the person is ill is certainly not obvious. APA offers no proof or even arguments for this position. When we see a person displaying a marked deficit in these areas the most parsimonious assumption is that his/her training and discipline in these areas was for some reason neglected or deficient.

Responsibility and consideration for others are attributes that we acquire during childhood through the normal methods of parental discipline, coaching, role modeling, etcetera, right after again. I know it’s clear that the real issue we have got not goaldirected activity as such but rather irresponsible and inconsiderate activity. By the way, the mechanism of action is unknown, with regards to the latter. Besides having a salty taste, lithium salt has a calming effect on people’s behavior. Lithium carbonate is a salt -found widely in nature -and until 1949 was sold openly in the United States as a substitute for table salt. Now let me tell you something. None has produced conclusive evidence or gathered much support, there been numerous proposed theories. Popularity of a concept is often independent of its validity. Loads of scientists, however, including Joseph Priestley, tried to cling to the older theory. Concept was nonsense, and today, thanks to science, we have a better understanding of the causes of illnesses and crop failures. You see, here again, we have a spurious theory, that sickness and crop failures are caused by the actions of these ‘so called’ witches. Crop failures and illness are realities. Phlogiston doesn’t exist. Human problems of living are real. Phlogiston theory of fire is an ideal example. Others can be truly overwhelming. Mostly there’re no mental illnesses.
