EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES

If you have been diagnosed with depression or any other psychological condition, regardless of its medical label, it is important to understand that this is an earthly, body condition.  This condition is not a reflection of you as an individual on a personal level.  This body which includes our brains, glands, transmitters are strictly a vehicle at our disposal.  There should be no burden of blame due to bodily ailment.  Should someone with genetic heart disease or Type I diabetes carry responsibility for their physical ailment?  .........of course not.

These are diseases with symptoms that usually can be lessened and/or controlled with healthy life styles and medication.  Modern medicine has many treatments available to control or at the very least lesson the symptoms of most conditions.  We must appreciate the progress that modern science has made.  The help may not be perfect but it is certainly beneficial.

Some individuals after accepting treatment experience positive results but once they feel more in control, there is often the urge to stop treatment.  It is important to realize that the treatment is lessening the symptoms.  If you discontinue treatment without working with your professional’s and adhering to their advice, the symptoms usually return.  We must leave diagnosis to the professionals and work with them to utilize the best possible treatments available for us...each as a unique individual!

Society has to view mental illness, in its many forms, simply as a physical body condition.  It is not a choice and is no one’s fault.  We must lose the astigmatisms so often associated with mental illness.

We are all equals.  We all have disorders is some shape or form that affect our lives at one point or another.  We each have to find our own way clear to deal with what we are confronted with.  Most of us will experience some form of depression during our lifetime and will find ways to deal with it.  The important thing to realize is that most conditions can be controlled either through medication or through the mind’s focus.  Positive reinforcement must always be our focus.  Each and every fragment of thought control and mind manipulation can assist us.  We are not at the mercy of life.

If your body (mind included) needs medical attention and if using treatments and medications help to balance the body and mind, be thankful that modern science and practices offer help to alleviate these conditions in life.

Stay strong and know that one you can experience healing and peace.  Practice meditation and do not allow negativity to control your life.  There are always options.  Know that you are not alone.  Others care and love you.  Love is the greatest healer.
