In order to explain how we humans develop mental illness, I first need to explain the function of the brain. What are the functions of the brain?
The most basic work of the human brain, such as animals, is the regulation of breathing, blood pressure, appetite, important reflexes and hormonal regulation. This part of the brain, which is evolutionally part of the old part, is at the bottom of the brain and is called the brain base. Those who have brain dying and are candidates for organ donation, just this part of their brain works, and other parts of the brain are permanently disabled.
These people lack any kind of awareness. Awareness is something related to the whole brain and does not have a specific place. The topic of awareness is very controversial. The old philosophers believed in a place for the soul in the brain. The behavior of our brain is the place of emotions and emotions, thoughts, reasoning, understanding of others' behavior, understanding of five senses, making words and sentences, and understanding their meanings, planning and managing things, and suppressing instincts. Prioritize work and future, Innovations and Excellence, Threats Control, Memory and Learning.
Animals also have five senses of understanding, memory, thrill and learning. Obviously, the difference between humans and animals, as well as between old animals, such as reptiles and amphibians, and newer animals such as mammals, are very different; you can hardly teach a crocodile to thank you when you feed it! !! For this reason, we prefer to keep the Vosges cat at home in the snake and alligator and turtle. In other words, dogs and cats are smarter and have a much better emotional connection with humans. This emotional relationship with domestic animals can have a therapeutic effect on human emotional problems.
One of the important tasks of the brain is to create meaningful links and connections between human behavior, thoughts and feelings, so that we can share our experience with others. Just as a chef between cheese dough, raw meat and mushrooms have a delicious link. And the pizza will deliver us.
Our brain also learns during evolution and growth that connects the different situations and issues around us and reaches a general concept. Suppose a woman smiles at you and a box of sweetness in your hand. In a moment, the concept (friendship and spirit) is formed in your mind. Whether or not you are flying over and the bird is approaching you, the concept (the bird is afraid) forms in your mind. Our minds learn to fill our senses with our previous experiences, even with imagination or falsehood. Therefore, we may define something that has not happened at all, with confidence for others, because sometimes our brain deceives us.
But in the brain of people with autism, the communication between different experiences is not possible. They do not have a comprehensive understanding of the world and the behavior of others, so they do not understand our behavior. This condition is interpreted as antisemitic. However, does an Autistic person make a pizza acceptable to us !? Very likely to be good, but maybe cooking can help cure autism !!!
✅ Why do we have mental illnesses?
Twenty thousand genes are responsible for building our entire body, and more than a third of these genes are responsible for building our brain with about 100 billion neurons! The brain builds 100 billion cells over a nine-month period (that is, during the period of the embryo, about 300 million brain neurons per day or 250,000 neurons per minute), the production of neurons is stopped, but their volume increases and each neuron In the first years of life, there are thousands of branches that connect thousands of other neurons.
With a simple calculate when we say that one-third of the genes are related to the brain, one third of human diseases is only brain-related, that is, brain diseases on one side and diseases of the rest of the body on the other side! So we find that mental illness is not only rare, but also prevalent and can be seen at any age, even infancy!
✅ Mental illness in children
Mental illnesses that appear in the early years of life are called growth disorders and have a profound impact on the future of the child. Symptoms of these diseases in children are delayed or stopped verbal behavioral behavior, disturbed behavior or speech, mismatch between child's behavior and age, repetitive behavior, inability to work with other children, lack of intelligence, and vary with other children's behaviors.
In many cases, parents notice differences between their child and others, but they can not easily cope with this problem and accept it. As a result, they do not go to treatment and eventually lose the best treatment time. Parents may come to visit their child with serious problems; for example, when a child is expelled from school, her school Does not enroll, can not speak at school, or there is a problem of crime, disobedience, theft, self-harm, substance abuse, accident or fatal accident.
✅ Mental Illness in Adults
Perhaps hundreds of years ago, we were doing less of our brains, because at that time there were no radio and television and cinema, no satellite, telephone and Internet, no tablet, no books, no maps, no streets and highways, no cars, no ... There is almost nothing in comparison with today! In other words, after eating bread and cheese and tea in the morning, we would be busy with farming and animal husbandry or playing. At that time, there was no news of planning, prospecting and second job selection. After the agricultural season, there is no other job except rest and fantasy!
But in today's civilization and the modern world, technology has surrounded us. To be successful, we must decide momentarily. We must choose and be patient. We need to control our emotions and we must not decide soon. We should not stop. We should not fight, but we must make a mistake. We should go to school and give us an exam. We need to be smart and act quickly. Do not get misunderstood and ask. Give different designs and disappointments. We must sleep in time and get up in time. We need to properly develop our program. We have to plan for our holidays. We have to adhere to the rules and to be successful ... should ... have ....
Living in the current state is not simply old. We need much more nervous behavior today. Our brain should manage all of these. When we do not have enough focus, we make a mistake, we get a quick decision, we will lose opportunities, and the outcome of our behavior will be disastrous and nothing but mental health problems.
Today we are waging war, and then we will make more weapons, then we will face famine and destitution, and in the end, we will destroy nature and the earth. Our privacy has also disappeared. This is a state of stress and stress, and then anxiety and depression, and annoying mental illness!
It does not seem to be the end, and human beings are the victim of the creativity of their brain. Apart from depression and anxiety, other mental illness occurs in adolescents and adults. Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, delusional disorder, personality disorder, obsession, addiction, sleep disturbances, eating disorders, amnesia and dementia, sexual dysfunction and mental disorders. Of course, this type of mental illness, such as: obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, sexual dysfunction and eating disorders in the child can also occur. So watch out for your children and adolescents and see any symptoms from the very beginning to a psychiatrist.
