Embrace a Natural Approach to Mental Health
As we all know, Mental health challenges are becoming increasingly prevalent. Stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric conditions affect millions of people globally. While conventional medicine offers various treatments, many individuals seek alternative approaches that address the root cause of their issues without the side effects often associated with pharmaceuticals. Homoeopathy, with its holistic approach and individualized treatment plans, is gaining popularity as a viable option for managing psychiatric problems.
Anxiety disorder, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Addictions- tobacco, smoking, alcohol, etc., Social phobia, Specific phobia, Personality disorder, Schizophrenia, Sleeplessness, Unwanted thoughts, Post-traumatic stress disorder.
NO VISIBLE SYMPTOMS, NO RUNNY NOSE, JUST A HEAD FULL OF DARKNESS
NO FEVER OR RASH, NO FRACTURES OR SPRAINS, JUST LONGING FOR SOMETHING UNABLE TO EXPLAIN YESS!! THAT’S PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER.
Psychiatric disorders are a wide range of conditions that affects mood, thinking and behaviour and ultimately a life of the person. To understand what actually psychiatric disorder is, we need to understand the psychodynamics of psychiatric disorders.
- The EGO tries to keep a harmonious balance between ID (Our inner self, core, basic instincts), superego (rules and regulation) and outside reality.
- The EGO is under constant pressure to keep this balance.
- The EGO tries to keep this pressure in control by pushing it at the unconscious level, sometimes it pops up at the subconscious level in the form of dreams ( dreams of missing trains, of being lost, of some animal behind, runs away, screaming but no one can hear, etc).
- When the pressure increases and the EGO become weak, it tends to produce anxiety.
- In Panic Anxiety Disorder, the constant pressure temporarily overpowers the EGO tends to produce panic attacks. Once this pressure releases itself through signs and symptoms, EGO regains its control over the situation and the person again coming back to a normal state.
- SO this temporarily weakens EGO tends to produce Panic Anxiety Disorder.
- As psychopathology advances, the pressures from the forbidden inner drives weaken the Ego even further. Then there is a constant danger of the forbidden sexual, aggressive drives and fear of surfacing and getting expressed in the outer world. This is the stage when Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder develops. There is a constant tug of war between the inner forces and the Ego.
- Even the same thing happens in the cases of Addictions where a person wants to come out but can’t control the inner desire for that particular object whether it is sex, alcohol, smoking or Drugs like a weed, cocaine, LSD, etc.
- When the inner force (ID) becomes so much strong that the Ego breaks down then the individual develops psychosis or schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, there is a predominance of the unconscious forces over the conscious force.
