From Hallucinations to Delusions
Mental health is tricky since there are many types of diagnosis,
including personality disorders, cognitive disorder, mental
diseases and so forth. To understand mental health fully is
nearly impossible, but there are many answers to questions that
many have since all of us directly or indirectly are affected by
mental illnesses. Some disorders, diseases, or cognitive
impairments may cause a person to hallucinate or become
delusional.
Other diagnosis may include less severe symptoms. Anxiety
disorders for example cause the patients to worry obsessively,
sleep disorders, inability to focus, tension attacks, distress,
headaches, and so forth. The most severe symptoms in this
disorder include obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anorexia,
phobias of socializing, hypochondrias and so forth. Patients
that suffer anxiety disorders may result to alcohol, which
creates another problem to find relief. Anxiety disorders are
often linked to other types of disorders including, adjustment
disorders, depersonalization disorder, and so forth.
Some researchers believe that anxiety disorder is a direct link
to hereditary, while other philosophers will dispute this
notion. As a rule, anxiety is brought on by a series of
failures, losses, and so on, if this patient is incapable of
handling common stressors it can affect the nervous system and
cause frequent anxiety attacks. Once the person is affected with
anxiety, other symptoms often following simply because the
person is somewhat disconnected from realism.
Panic disorder is similar in that it shares common symptoms as
anxiety disorder. Patients with panic disorders often suffer
intense panic attacks, sometimes agoraphobia, depression, and
other related problems. The most severe symptoms of this
disorder are feelings or tendencies of suicide, obsessive and
compulsive behaviors, substance abuse, heart, and other related
issues. Anyone that suffers either or panic/anxiety disorders is
subject to physical disabilities. Social Phobias are also common
amongst many men in the world, but has also affected children
and women.
These types often fear embarrassment and will often avoid pubic
encounters since their fears bring forth anxiety attacks. Social
Phobias prevent success for most patients since they have
difficulty working in society or complications with shopping,
and so on. Each of the disorders listed in this article affect
the patients both mentally and physically and in some case
patients have died from heart attacks since there level of
coping was over surpassing. Often people that worry excessive
subjects the heart to dangers. It is vital to manage these types
of illnesses to prevent further complications.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as a survivor I can tell
you from first-hand experience that this disorder is complicated
and extremely stressful. Posttraumatic stress is a result from
trauma, rape, combat, terrorist attacks, and other types of
disasters. In this case, the patient often relives the trauma
through repeated flashbacks. The disorder before experts began
evaluating it was known as 'war shock.' The patient often
suffers from re-occurring nightmares, night sweats, and often
avoids noises, such as popping sounds since it often sounds like
cannons going off.
Most posttraumatic patients detach them self from society,
since many in the world regularly show concern about the
disorders, and will often trigger the patient. Often their
thoughts, emotions, feelings, sense, are all desensitized, and
often the patients suffer lapse of concentration. They often
suffer sleeping difficulties, and are extremely vigilant to the
surroundings. Some patients with posttraumatic stress
demonstrate serious outbursts when triggered, therefore it is
important that you treat such patients as a dedicate flower,
handling them with care.
They often suffer episodes of depression, acute stress, panic,
disassociation, and other types of symptoms. Each person is
different, but some patients with posttraumatic stress may even
illustrate suicidal behaviors or even explosive behaviors. Since
posttraumatic symptoms are related to many other types of
disorders, it is important to evaluate the individual carefully.
Posttraumatic patients often have difficulty interpreting others
when they are speaking also. Many of the patients that suffer
posttraumatic stress disorder often result to alcohol to relieve
their misery.
This only intensifies the diagnosis, and the patient is stepping
backwards in recovery. Posttraumatic stress disorders have
various levels, with some cases more severe than others do.
Persons of all ages, genders, nationalities, class, and so on
are subject to posttraumatic stress disorder since it is often
developed from traumatic experiences, whether the person
witnesses a violent crime, is assaulted, or what have you.
