Anxiety is the originator of all Mental Disorders. What we don’t know yet for sure, is the biology of anxiety. We know the triggers, although it is still unclear in what areas of the brain anxiety originates. One of the most entertained hypotheses on the origins of Anxiety are the dopaminergic pathways involved in reward.OCD, […]
When is the right time to make a choice? The unification of Theology and Psychology Decision-making is the benchmark of ADHD, although no trait is necessarily pathological exclusive. These days, we got into the habit of Labeling each behavior.I can understand the convenience from a diagnostic criteria, not indispensable in everyday’ situations. A Label refers to […]
Description: It is not yet understood whether Executive Dysfunction is a Signal or Neurotransmission s disruption. Brain anatomy alone is worth a whole encyclopedia.Since this is not an academic journal, I’ll dissect the brain in its main 3 regions: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem.Although interconnected, some researchers entertain the notion of 3 separate brains within the cranial […]

Autistics score high on self-identifying. Endorphins overdrive is the most common reaction normally leading to meltdown in distressing situations.It […]
Continuing the discussion on natural elements. We all release Endorphins in response to stress and anxiety. Endorphins produce what is commonly referred to as ‘body odor’, thus not of bacterial origin.It is a pungent, chemical, triggering odor.Speculation is that it stimulates adrenaline release. Body odor is naturally produced by deteriorating skin bacteria. Skin bacteria are […]
Autistics are heavily influenced by natural and biological factors. Autistics are particularly sensitive to anticipation. I’m not talking of changes here, which are a long established feature. A change happens in the present moment and it is commonly accompanied by a meltdown. Anticipation is the dreading of an upcoming event, either planned or unexpected. There […]
Worst-Case Scenarios are virtually delusional. I mentioned before the different chemistry of ‘Preparing for the worst’. Although Readiness is shared in Preparedness, getting ready for a pleasant event is fueled by Motivation.This doesn’t exclude a varying degree of apprehension, a mitigated form of anxiety. “Looking forward” always accompanies Motivation.
