Walking Disorders and Chemicals of the Brain

 
Author: Lance Winslow
 

There is a new trend in psychology, which tends to believe that if humans can mostly control the chemical releases in their bodies and that those people who cannot are labeled as walking disorders. And usually prescribed drugs like Prozac.

Indeed this is one way to look at it yet if these chemicals are being triggered in the brain and it is natural (not drug induced) then it is not a disorder. Rather it is part of what being a human is. No matter what anyone is to label it. And to that, if one denies it and suppresses it, those needs, desires and longing for those releases will come out in ways we wish they wouldn't.

So to "fix people" to live in a large population of society and not cause issues with the flows or stability of the civilization, we must find avenues for them to allow those releases. Such as sports, contests, intellectual debate, business, politics, love, gambling, games of risk and competition.

What I find fascinating is social sciences run around and call things disorders which are generally normal parts of the overall genetic makeup, thus, are these "walking disorders" really disorders or are those who deny themselves their life experience; pain and sorrow, laughter and joy; really the screwed up ones?

Many people do think it is somewhat strange the things humans do such as overwhelming depression or ignoring pain (both physical and emotional). In doing so many people put them selves into an emotional state that they may accept things or join groups or sign up for religions they may never think twice of at any other time. Indeed, Bertrand Russell's comments are interesting; "humans can be led to believe just about anything!" when discussing religion.

So often psychologist will suggest things and possible disorders and people actually believe this and believe something is wrong with them. At that low-point they can be easily swayed to join just about any group. Once they do, well then they are not a walking disorder but rather suffering from mass hallucinations with others. Thus the saying misery loves company? Think on this in 2006.
