    I‘d received an invitation email to enter DSMIV guided computerized sheet called Mood-Psychosis advisor engine for cases suggested to be diagnosed as mood or psychotic disorder with possible finding in the sheet items; on the page http://epadvisor.com/a/a.html , it gives online possible diagnosis at once after filling this sheet items that make it more easy to diagnose disorders such as schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder and other psychotic disorders without the usual exclusion of mood episodes because this advisor engine make it automatically. Another useful service was found in what was called Pharmacological-management advisor engine which make it …

  3. Why do they always have music in shopping stores? What's the psychological explanation for this? Do people who listen to music tend to purchase more things from a department store? What are the most recent scientific evidence suggesting? Does everyone usually enjoy listening to music while shopping? I usually find it a bit distracting.

  4. if this post is either too long or not appropriate just delete it. From my point of view it could be a relevant post to some who come across this section of the site.-Ron Price, Tasmania ------------------------------------- 1.2 This is a longitudinal, retrospective account going back to my conception in the last half of October 1943. The story continues up to the last half of October 2010. This statement, even at some 66,000 words, is still a work in progress, as they say these days, some 67 years. Neurobiological, neuropsychiatric and affective disorders like BPD are found in diverse forms as well as in a broad range of age of onset and in a specificity of symptoms.…

  5. The year I joined the Baha’i Faith the social psychologist Leon Festinger received the Distinguished Scientist Award of the American Psychological Association. He was also elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in that year. It was 1959. After masterful experimentation on the theory of cognitive dissonance, his research culminated in the publication of work that was at the time referred to as “the most important development in social psychology to date.”(1) Festinger also developed the theory of propinquity. The propinquity effect is the tendency for people to form friendships or romantic relationships with those whom they often encounter. In oth…

  6. For some background knowledge, please read these: 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_period 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_Period_Hypothesis I've been considering something for a while. I have considered that if people are to lead a life focused on a specialty, a type of life-career (say biologist, computer scientist, etc..), then they should be trained to be such at a young age. A form of technical training. Why? Why should we ignore teaching them particular fields, such as history, art, and so forth? Because of the critical periods that come across in people's lives. So, let's say people are most prone to learning and becoming specialized …

    i had some scary experiences the other day. I use to forget my dreams As most People probably do. But suddenly while I am fully awake scenes from old dreams occur WHAM!...weird stuff, but so real. It happens that I feel that I could go crazy and get lost in that weird story so I get little panicked cause it feels as if I get drafted into that crazy dream and never come back to my real Life!... it just takes seconds and I'm not a drug addict nor do I take any kind of medication or Alkohol. Who experienced something like that and what the hell is it??

  10. I don't want to hijack the other thread so I posted it in a new thread. I was reading on wikipedia and some articles that some doctors and resarchers believe it may be environment or learned behavior. The theory going around is a learnt behavior ,trauma experience ,exposure or experience to a person to have such a desire.Well there are hundreds and hundreds of fetish it can not be all genes poiting to that fetsh .Also gays ,lesbian, transexual and bisexuality was a taboo 50 years ago it was illegal. Other psychiatrist believe it can be frustration a person has a high sex drive and cannot have sex or look at porn so may bridge into other things to f…

    I'd like to hear an opinion of someone who's pro at psychiatry about this crazy dude that hangs out at our university. He's about 50 years old who goes to random lectures and constantly mumbles stuff that doesn't make sense. Sometimes he asks random people questions about homework or touches people's backs or shoulders. He also handles other people's belongings when they're not around, although I don't know if he steals anything. So yeah, I'm wondering what kind of mental disorder causes this, apparently he's not dangerous because he's not locked up, thanks!

    There is quite alot of controversy on this subject. The leading experts suggest revenge is a negative emotion, that one should deal with the underlying anger and forget about it. BUT for those who have been truly wronged this is no easy feat. Somtimes revenge is the only option that can bring closure. It is next to impossible to forget a deep injustice so if your stance is to forgive and forget please be sure to include just how exactly one should do this. To be truly justified the revenge needs to be on par with the injustice, for instance you cannot burn down someones house because they prank called you. To be certain of equal measures the old adage "revenge is a di…

  14. How do you treat it, can you treat it? I know a guy who has a very severe case of this condition there is alot of info about the condition but very little on actually treating it. Can he be helped to become an individual? He's like a chameleon with personalities it's amazing to watch him adapt himself to any situation. When he gets a girl her likes become his and he does whatever she wants him to he actualy say's he does not have his own personality anymore. He becomes whatever is needed.

    Kind of an update with a question to my previous post on this subject.

He was doing perfect his mental health worker and psychiatrist cut him loose no prescriptions to take no counselling and now this. He is normal now the symptoms having lasted for an hour and a half and were accompanied by an anxiety attack. WHAT IS THIS???? He was absolutely fine until today. Symptoms were not severe but he said he experienced auditory hallucinations directly related to her like he could hear what she was thinking. T…

    Due to modern teaching packages and cuts in class budgets, lab science has been left out of many elementary faculty curriculums. In addition to this, so as to increase the passing scores on the state and federal mandated standardized testing, colleges have focused on teaching students straight from the textbook. Plus, with the economy failing, colleges are having difficult times getting by, inflicting them to cut out the expensive prices of lab equipment and supplies wanted by a science class. This has led many elementary and middle school children to fall behind in respect to having a true scope of the world. Luckily, there are options for the teachers that mu…

  17. In a recent thread where we were correcting some common misconceptions about evolution, a person who does not think evolution is an accurate description of reality asked the following: "What about morality? Why do we hold morals? Where did we "get" them? What good are they? Evolution cannot explain that." This point was quickly refuted by numerous members, including myself, where I offered the below very brief synopsis of how evolution does, in fact, explain very simply the concept of morality: We've had a few threads here on this topic, but some of them have unfortunately become personal and difficult to navigate. My decision to open thi…

    Who was Sigmund Freud? So who was this giant whose insights have indirectly played a major role in our resistance to exploring the benefits of controlling our sexual desire, and how did he reach his conclusions? In investigating this question I learned that Freud supported his conclusions with only six full case studies. Some of the patients were not even his. Since Freud’s lifetime scholars have dug up letters and contemporaneous case notes that demonstrate Freud did not, in fact, produce dramatic cures in these cases. In 1998 professor Frederick C. Crews published a series of essays by experts, called Unauthorized Freud: Doubters Confront a Legend.2 Was t…

    Just what makes a person so susceptible to stress that they have a state of psychosis? The person whom I speak of had alot of contributing factors he was assaulted and knocked unconscious but MRI showed no lasting damage (could it still cause psychosis? and permanent damage?) part of his head he claimed felt numb and had a pressure sensation. He starved himself living on coffee and cigarettes more or less for several months resulting in 50 lb weight loss, severe sleep deprivation, and the stress of ending a 10 year or more relationship. That's alot for anyone but since the psychotic episodes did not begin until after the assault would this not be the most likely cause? …

    Why are our dreams so easily forgotten? Although not the only one, one explanation is that dreaming is a mechanism for ridding the brain of useless data; i.e., dreams are irrelevant data and are not meant to be remembered. Here's the short answer suggested by the research I did for a book about the dreaming brain, which I wrote a couple of years ago. Memory was evolved to preserve the physical well-being of ancestral animals before those animals developed dreaming brains. What these ancient animals likely remembered most were those experiences that had a real impact on their physical/material survival. Consequently, as descendents of these animals, certain parts of our …

    If people felt sad simply because sad things happened to them, then psychologists and psychiatrists would lose sadness as a disease of the mind they could claim to treat, rather than as a highly varied problem in the outside world they could not, and with this they would also lose income, social prestige, and power. The usual phenomenological distinction to separate the 'depression disease' from ordinary sadness in response to sad events is that depression is deep and lasting while normal sadness is temporary, but what about sad events which are long-lasting, constantly evolve so that people can never accommodate to them, and cannot be fixed? It would seem that the norm…

  23. Hi: What is the neurological mechanism by which psychologically-intense memories are repressed? Apparently the memory of the event does form, and vividly so. However, access to such a memory is usually prohibited. How does the brain deny access to emotionally-tagged memories? Thanks, Green

  25. I challenge this assertion: Source: http://bosanchez.ph/are-negative-emotions-causing-you-to-get-sick/ While it is well known that one's emotional state has a profound effect on health, I am skeptical that 85% of all disease is caused by negative emotional states. I will appreciate if somebody can provide me with adequate, peer-reviewed proof to convince me that the vast majority of diseases are psychosomatic in origin. I do not challenge the existence of psychosomatic illnesses - their existence is well documented. While I'm not a medical doctor and I have no counter proof, my experience and reason tell me that this assertion is false. Otherwise "ps…
