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, […]

Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD

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 […]

Executive Dysfunction

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 […]

Fatigue in ASD/ADHD

Medical science cites 6 hours as the least amount of sleep in a 24 hours period. Autistics may well need 8/9 hours. Sleep affects medication and performance. It is proven that autistics get more tired than the average person.This is easily understandable since every task requires extra planning and decision making.I need at least 8 […]

Psychotropic Medication

Medications are surrounded by myth. The reality is that the same formula works differently in each patient. ‘Designer-drugs’ are the future of pharmaceuticals. Medication is a very divisive topic.Implications include religious beliefs, medical ethics, to mention the fact.It is the igniting topic of unhealthy debates between Med-free, New Age Medicine, Spiritual Healing, Traditional Western Medicine […]

Self-identification vs Empathy and anticholinergic therapy in autism

Medications reach maximal adherence in synergy. These two emotional states may look equal despite the mechanism of action being of different contexts.Self-identifying is of hormonal origin, mainly adrenergic.Empathy is of brain-circuitry origin, a kind of personality. Autistics score high on self-identifying. Endorphins overdrive is the most common reaction normally leading to meltdown in distressing situations.It […]

Endorphins in Autism

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 […]
