Descriptive Psychopathology

In order to accurately describe and diagnose psychiatric illness, practitioners require in-depth knowledge of the signs and symptoms of behavioral disorders. Descriptive Psychopathology provides a broad review of the psychopathology of psychiatric illness, beyond the limitations of the DSM and ICD criteria. Beginning with a discussion of the background to psychiatric classification, the authors explore the problems and limitations of current diagnostic systems. The following chapters then present the principles of psychiatric examination and diagnosis, described with accompanying patient vignettes and summary tables, and related to different diagnostic concerns. A thought-provoking conclusion proposes a restructuring of psychiatric classification based on the psychopathology literature and its validating data. Written for psychiatry and neurology residents, clinical psychologists, behavioral neurologists, clinical psychology students and psychiatric nurse practitioners, it is invaluable to anyone who accepts the responsibility for the care of patients with behavioral syndromes.

6 Common Causes of Anxiety

According to a recent survey by the National Institute of Mental Health (2017), Anxiety is the most common mental illness, with over 40 million adults in the US alone being diagnosed every year. The American Psychological Association (2013) defines anxiety as a future-oriented concern that may lead people to avoid situations that trigger or worsen their distress. Do you have experience with anxiety? Do you know someone who is often anxious? What other symptoms of anxiety do you recognize? There are in fact many types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Social Phobia or Social Anxiety Disorder.

How to Become Silent? – Sadhguru

Sadhguru explains, in the process of becoming silent, shutting one’s mouth is only half the job. Those too enamored with their own thought process will only catch themselves in a loop of recycled memories. Sadhguru Talks @ In the Lap of the Master, Isha Yoga Center, Apr 2009 To watch this video in Gujarati – https://youtu.be/RtoC0MlnwyQ **************************************** Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/becoming-silent/ So the process of what you call as spiritual is not a psychological process. Your memory has nothing to do with it. It’s a life process; it’s an existential process. This can only happen if you allow yourself to be just a piece of life that you are. To do this, we do many things here and, you know, you might have seen people in the ashram walking around with those orange tags. If you have seen the silence tags people are wearing – just shut up. Because, shutting your mouth is only half the job; to become silent is possible only when you do not think much of yourself. If you think something about yourself, if you think ‘I am smart’ how can you shut up? -You tell me. If you think ‘I am smart’ how can you shut up? If you realize that you are actually stupid, you don’t know anything in this existence then… (Gestures) isn’t it? Then you can simply look at life with great sense of wonder, without a thought appearing in your mind. If you think you are smart about everything, you got explanations and calculations and nonsense going on in your head. If you see one thing, a thousand thoughts will go off, isn’t it? You are not sitting here in this sathsang totally silent; you are agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, making comments within yourself, making comments about the clothes that somebody is wearing next to you, appreciating it, depreciating it, everything is happening. Am I wrong? Because the moment you think there is some value to what you think then you can’t stop it; no way to stop it. It’ll just go on and on and on. When you see there is absolutely no life value to your thought process; it is just memory recycling itself, it is just the same old nonsense recycling itself… but if you are exited, if you are enamored by this recycle, if you think it’s great you cannot stop it. If you see the patterns of what it is, if you see the stupidity of what it is, then slowly you will distance yourself and it’ll collapse because without attention it cannot go on.

An Experiential Approach to Psychopathology

This book introduces the reader to a clear and consistent method for in-depth exploration of subjective psychopathological experiences with the aim of helping to restore the ability within psychiatry and clinical psychology to draw qualitative distinctions between mental symptoms that are only apparently similar, thereby promoting a more precise characterization of experiential phenotypes. A wide range of mental disorders are considered in the book, each portrayed by a distinguished clinician. Each chapter begins with the description of a paradigmatic case study in order to introduce the reader directly to the patient’s lived world. The first-person perspective of the patient is the principal focus of attention. The essential, defining features of each psychopathological phenomenon and the meaning that the patient attaches to it are carefully analyzed in order to “make sense” of the patient’s apparently nonsensical experiences. In the second part of each chapter, the case study is discussed within the context of relevant literature and a detailed picture of the state of the art concerning the psychopathological understanding of the phenomenon at issue is provided. An Experiential Approach to Psychopathology, and the method it proposes, may be considered the result of convergence of classic phenomenological psychopathological concepts and updated clinical insights into patients’ lived experiences. It endorses three key principles: subjective phenomena are the quintessential feature of mental disorders; their qualitative study is mandatory; phenomenology has developed a rigorous method to grasp “what it is like” to be a person experiencing psychopathological phenomena. While the book is highly relevant for expert clinical phenomenologists, it is written in a way that will be readily understandable for trainees and young clinicians.

What is the Real Meaning of Love – Juhi Chawla with Sadhguru

Juhi Chawla and Sadhguru look at the fundamental nature of love and how to bring it into our daily lives. Sadhguru explains that instead of trying to love a thousand people on Facebook, there is a possibility to become loving by our own nature. The interaction was a part of the “In Conversation with the Mystic”, an exclusive series of interactive episodes where eminent personalities from various walks of life explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, who, amidst engaging stories and witty jokes, bridges the gap between the modern and the mystical, opening the door to deeper dimensions of life. From Shekhar Kapur – Oscar award winning director – joining Sadhguru in a dialogue about love, life, and longing, to KV Kamath – Chairman of ICICI – discussing corporate greed and ethics, to Virender Sehwag – the swashbuckling opener – looking to handle the pressures of international cricket, the series has been a riveting adventure. For more info: http://inconversations.com **************************************** Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/what-is-the-real-meaning-of-love-juhi-chawla-with-sadhguru/ Juhi Chawla: MHmm, yes (Applause). We have one question from the social media the facebook (Laughter). AmitAmity MadanMadam wants to know in this materialistic age the real feeling of love is disappearing from our life, most of the love we receive from others and express to others is superficial. How can we reinforce the real feeling of love in our own life and in others? Sadhguru: Forget about others. iIf you… if you learn to be loving by your own nature not because of somebody else or something else. I know the question is coming from Facebook face book there’s an enormous possibility (Laughter). You can even love those people who don’t even exist (Laughter). So, I’m saying it’s a tremendous possibility., soSo (Laughs) if you just become love, not love somebody then you will know the nature of love. If you love somebody it’s a fickle happening because no human being will happen a hundred percent the way you want them. Every human being on this planet is going to disappoint you believe me not because they’ll do something wrong because nobody can fulfill the unr… unrealic… unrealistic expectation you have of them. It’s simply not possible., haveHave you been able to fulfill anybody’s expectation I’m asking you entirely? Partially but never entirely, isn’t it? So nobody else will be able to do it unless you’re a still such a hopeless romantic you’re still waiting that ideal person is going to come from somewhere – No! Believe me whoever comes, I want you to know the ideal people whom you worship when Krishna was there his wives complained (Laughter) all right?
