The BLUE Psychology

ALCOHOL USE DISORDER (AUD ) is a long-term state of mind in which patients cannot stop or control their alcohol drinking addiction even at the cost of their social lives, their jobs, or their health getting affected.   When repeated drinking results in serious consequences, the patient becomes a victim of  ALCOHOL USE DISORDER.  It also includes Alcohol Dependency, which causes the patient to lose control over drinking.

It also includes a binge drinking pattern - in which a person consumes five or more drinks within two hours ...

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.

MANIA  is an attitude, wherein the patient behaves exactly opposite to how he behaves when in depression. Psychology says, there is no need to have all the symptoms to diagnose or cause MANIA. As the intensity of the mania increases, the symptoms also begin to prevail. MANIAC patients become very excited and enthusiastic. They consider themselves to be very important and reputed people of society, they talk a lot and start imagining about themselves. Due to their enthusiastic behaviour, their speech and pace of working becomes fast than normal.

  People suffering from HYSTERIA are likely to be associated with HYSTREONIC mind set or HYSTERICAL Individualism. Such humans are, self centred, dramatic and eccentric in nature. Their personality seems to be open minded, attractive and social on the outer front, but they are equally narrow & fickle minded on the inner front. Such people are expert at getting their work done by their sugar coated talks. They are well versed at over exaggerating any activity due to which they can easily manage to gain people's attention. HYSTERICAL people gain popularity easily. But their friendship cannot last long due to their selfish nature. At some point of time, their self centred nature somehow starts reflecting.  HYSTERIC  people always try to show their supremacy over others, wherever they find a chance to do so. They have a habit of imposing themselves on others. For example, if a hysteric person comes to stay as a guest at anyone’s house, he/she slowly starts dominating ...

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 .

The second major problem of OBSESSION is to clear the d...
