What is Mental Illness?

[ajay0]

300 years ago we knew hardly a damn thing about mental illness, nor did we.know of the unconscious mind amd how that effects us. No knowledge of genetic disorders (or genetics or neurochemical imbalances.
People were still ill, we just still sometimes thought it was demonic possession because we didn't just quite yet know how to explain schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder, nor did we know of anxiety, agoraphobia, chronic depression or ptsd as significant detrimental factors on people's mental states and heavily rooted in brain shape and function, genes and our past experiences.

The unconscious mind was studied extensively in yogic and buddhist psychology for milleniums. The ancient sanskrit terms Vasana, Sankhara are related to the content in the unconscious mind.

No, it wasn't systemically studied and we didn't know how profound the implications are. It's been taking developments in nueropsychology to even really gain a full grasp, such as how it's let us see how childhood abuse and trauma warp and malform the brain.

In order to avoid further conflict with others in this thread, I suggest that you make it clear in your posts that you are stating your personal beliefs and opinions by using such phrases as "I believe," "I think," and "in my opinion" rather than implying that what you personally believe is a definitive fact.

We don't have test tube babies. Everyone is someone's child.

Even if you are 120, you are still the child of your parents. Everyone, absolutely everyone, is someone's child. Acknowledging this, or bringing up things that happened when we were children does NOT imply or mean we think of ourselves as being children now.

Well, I mean, in the end no more sex does mean no more mental illness for the human race after maybe 100 years or so.
