Emotions are controlled by hormones.

Sleep disorders are gaining significant momentum in Mental Health.

Stay-at-home people affected by mental illness, tend to switch the day for the night, based on their delusional claim that the night has a calming influence.

Although there are professions requiring 24/7 coverage, our bodies are programmed to sleep at night.
Shift-workers normally compensate with Melatonin supplements.

Sleep is characterized by two main patterns: ‘Sleep pressure’ and  ‘Circadian Rhythm’: the former drawing us into deep sleep, NREM, the latter waking us up, REM.
In popular culture, these two independent reactions are erroneously referred to as “body-clock”.

Hormones’ production drops with darkness and peaks with light, therefore keeping us awake during the day.
People who don’t sleep during the night on a regular basis, are at high risk of cardiovascular and mental disease.
Melatonin and Cortisol are the most disrupted hormones, since they drop at night. As result, the adrenal glands go into overdrive, releasing them in excess during the day.

Adrenal hormones follow the Circadian Rhythm.

The Circadian Rhythm can’t be altered.

The outcome is gloomy: High stress-hormone Cortisol combined with forced suppression of Melatonin, resulting in Depression and Schizophrenia among additional physical conditions.
Low-energy is commonly associated with Anaemia, although it is a main symptom of depression and irregular sleep.
Oxygen deficiency is the main factor in anaemia-induced Fatigue.

The correlation is evident nevertheless, with Depression discovered to be of viral nature too, like some forms of Anaemia.

I believe Medicine is too selective, nowadays, especially Mental and Physical Medicine.

In countries like Japan, there is an hospital for each branch of Medicine.
Patients are ‘shipped’ through hospitals for every new emerging pathology.
The figure of GP is virtually disappearing.
Good Healthcare is the collaboration between specialists.

My take is that governments prefer to invest in disability benefits rather than research.
As a matter of fact, the disable is still seen as poor-economy.
Low-energy is synonym of low-productivity.

Quality Sleep is the first step to recovery.

I’ll never tire about stressing the importance of the collaboration between specialists. Selective Medicine has proven misleading and aggravating.

Worry affects most peoples to a varying degree.
It is often accompanied by Fear, the so-called ‘Fight or Flight’ effect, previously referred as a coherent defense mechanism.

Medical science is constantly evolving.

Worry and Fear are now included in Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
The ‘defense mechanism’ has been debunked: Worry and Fear turned out detrimental and purposeless. Diagnoses always overcome cures.
This results in an ever increasing number of peoples visiting Holistic ‘doctors’ and abusing substances.
In other words, ‘self-medicating’.

Several conditions are not listed in the DSM, despite taken into consideration by Holistic Mental Health practitioners. Inculturation is a major factor in the birth of new diagnoses.

I thought to elaborate these attitudes after finding out more mental-health implications in Projecting.
Before entering psychology field, Projection was synonym of Planning.

Just recently, Projection has taken a very different connotation: despite being not yet recognized as a diagnosis, most therapists treat it as delusional.

The condition first emerged from a revised linguistic model.
Projecting and Planning were used interchangeably, until theologians claimed a detrimental dimension to Projecting.

Anxious people in particular, kind of hallucinate over envisioning their future by deluding themselves into believing their dreams or nightmares will always become reality.
They don’t consider that circumstances change over time. 
They project.

Planning is realistic and motivating, in combination with Regular Sleep.
