I have written an article on Mental Health which can be found via this link. It is rather in-depth, and my aim was for my story not to go untold. It should be read ‘in context’ … that is without the knowledge of prior reading of what is on my main website www.soulgrowth.com the reader may not get the complete picture how at one point in my life I ended up in such a situation and the effect it has had on me since then.
It is also through dealing with my own personal experience …
I propose that psych doctors actually know a lot less about the brain and hence human consciousness than they tend to say that they know … even though, by definition – they are trained in problems of the mind.
For instance, human consciousness is still largely unknown/unstudied by the general scientific community … modern science still doesn’t have a 100% complete working theory on consciousness. Also, there are still some things that are unexplained using current textbook methods and approaches.
One point I would like to stress, is that psychiatrists are still of the opinion that Schizophrenia (hearing voices, etc) is an entirely brain-based (internal) condition : caused by an unbalanced brain bio-chemistry, and only treatable by hospitalisation and the use of anti-psychotic drugs (my own mental health experience highlights this, as well the many papers and science journals I’ve read since).
YET … mainstream science is more open-minded, as well as those that are doing groundbreaking research into the field of human consciousness – they are beginning to accept the possibility – that consciousness isn’t limited to just the boundaries of the brain.
Again … through my detailed (and very personal) Mental Health article, I intend to present the idea that psychiatrists perhaps don’t know as much about the human brain as they tend to say that they know.
