Revival

Is your sense of belonging linked to your generation? Do you identify with your generation? What do you regret or praise your generation for? Did age stop you from achieving your goals? The more I hear about disabilities, the more I wish I was born 20 years later.Mental awareness at school and workplace was never acknowledged […]

Outdated Technology

The Internet revolutionized society and the way we interact, both positively and negatively.  Calls have become obsolete, these days.Texting is the norm.A text can’t express emotions like a voice. My generation adopted the Internet and eventually adapted to it.On the other hand, it was imposed to new generations.That implies a difference in displaying emotions: the […]

Self-awareness in Neurodivergence

Victimization and Criticism stop us from Achieving. Self-awareness and Acceptance are the antonyms of Victimization and Criticism.The latter are the main obstacles in ADHD, although common in Autism to a lesser extent. Autism and ASD are two distinct disorders sharing some traits. Autism normally requires institutionalization.ASD was formerly known as Asperger Syndrome and is highly […]

Bullying of Neurodivergent

Autistics are still bullied. Teachers must tackle and recognize neurodiversity in its first manifestations. Autistics are often victims of bullying in school. There is still no anti-Bullying law, although schools are taking serious actions, recently. Back in my day, bullying was totally ignored and perpetrated by teachers themselves.That made me feel an underachiever.I wish I […]

Nervous breakdown

Is Burnout a symptom or synonymous with Brokenness? Medical jargon is being updated to unprecedented extents, complicit Online Medicine. Nowadays, people consult Medical sites prior to visiting doctors. Online diagnoses are Medical frauds. Burnout is the result of long-term stress. Cortisol is the main stress-hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to fear, logically […]

Social Narratives

Some new types of therapy deprive neurodivergents of their dignity for conformity through ethically questionable methods. Social narratives are a kind of repetitive behavioral therapy used for subjects with severe learning disabilities.Although results are quite satisfactory, I personally associate a certain extent of humiliation to it.Repetition is always synonymous with poor performance.We’re talking of mere […]

Mental Brokenness

Neurodivergence from a traumatic perspective. Brokenness is rooted in the past, although we experience it in the present. Nowadays, psychology is abused by unqualified, self-proclaimed therapists and life-coaches, primarily accounting for former Social Workers with basic skills in Crisis Intervention, their first appeal to many NDs who lost trust in Mental Health Professionals. Medical insurances don’t […]

Too much at stake

The aftermath of happy memories. Too much at stake is a cry for help.This week I have too much at stake. It is possibly the worst state of mind to me: I feel out of touch, I can’t cope, I’m not able to multitask, I lack support and diversions, visual representations trigger me, sleep is not resting. The Past sucks my […]

Self-punishment

We know little of Self-harm. The main dilemma remains whether it is a conscious or subconscious act. It is generally dismissed as OCD, a non-specific condition itself. Self-harm is not a diagnosis, it is a compulsion.OCD is a co-morbid diagnosis.‘Co-morbid’ means ‘underlying, multiple’.In turn, ‘underlying’ means ‘hiding’ in popular language.We’re naturally unaware of hidden entities.This […]

Anxiety

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, […]
