SCHIZOPHRENIA   is considered a serious form of psychosis. Symptoms of  SCHIZOPHRENIA   are generally found in people with sceptical, deranged, destructive, antisocial behavioural pattern.  SCHIZOPHRENIA  generally occurs between the age of 15 to 65. But the reason can also be due to heredity or some bitter family or social experiences from childhood. Some patients of  SCHIZOPHRENIC  are of SCHIZOID nature.

Blog Post 10: The OCD (Obsessive Compulsion Disorder)

By
Image
Previous 2 blogs were an attempt to provide information & create awareness about different types of PHOBIAS and remedial measures related to them. This blog attempts at providing information and creating awareness about OBSESSION and the mental status related to it. In broader terms, OBSESSION doesn’t much differ from PHOBIA . The fears related to some bad experience, a person, a thing or a situation are categorised under PHOBIA . But if the same fear gets transformed into some thing like disgust, it is called OBSESSION . And the effort of getting rid of it can take the form of a mental illness. In OBSESSION , the disgust is mostly associated with waste, dirt, cleanliness or tidiness. The most important difference between PHOBIA and OBSESSION is that in PHOBIA , once the situation of fear is averted, the person going through it gets calm & relaxed, but in OBSESSION the human cannot get rid of the feeling of disgust. The second major problem of OBSESSION is to clear the d...

Now-a-days students, mainly teenagers between the age group of 13 to 19 are mostly facing this problem. But somewhere or the other, again it starts in childhood. Some parents believe that their children should not get deprived of the luxuries which they themselves were deprived off due to their parent’s non affordable circumstances or financial conditions. To some extent having such feelings towards their children is appreciable, but it is very important to set a limit for that too. Humans have a natural tendency of not valuing the things they get easily. Then how can children be different. Due to easy availability, children don’t even realise the struggle required to earn things in life. They get what they ask for. Due to this mindset, they are not used to adjust or accept any kind of “NO” or “Giving up” on anything in their life. Any kind of refusals affect their ego or self esteem. Stress due to Expectations   Some children are basically smart & all rounder. They get ...
