Hormones are INCREDIBLY influential on virtually every aspect of our thinking, feeling, and behaviour. You just need to live long enough, and everyone comes to realize that.
Yup. For me it was my thyroid, and general trauma. The trauma is still there, but going on medication to treat a lack of thyroid hormone made a *huge* difference in my mental state!
For me it was some medication I was on for three months. It completely changed how I felt. I can’t even describe it. “Depressed” doesn’t nearly do it justice. I’m so grateful it lifted after I went off the medication. That experience forever changed my view of mental health. I no longer subscribe to notions of, “Come on! Try to be positive!” or “You just need to look in the bright side!” That’s malarkey if the problem is hormonal. If the chemistry in the brain is off, a person sitting right beside you might be locked inside their own personal nightmare.
I remember when I successfully applied for a job as a social worker with the local area Adult Mental Health Service I got some very strange nervous looks from some of my friends. One of them asked me, 'Do you think that was a wise thing to do?' Plainly they thought that my days were numbered before one of the 'nutters' would finish me off. In actual fact it didn't take me long to realise that it was the 'normal' people who were the dangerous ones and that the folk I was doing my best to help were at greater risk from them rather than the other way around.
Not all psychosis or psychotic episodes are created equal.
Some are a product of emotional or environmental triggers, others yet can be medical - derived from an allergic reaction to something, say, like a steroid or adverse effect of mind altering substances. Those can cover a myriad of factors.
So, in essence. Yes, we are in a crisis situation and how people can handle it can. R shaped differently from individual to individual.
Reflections of these in a wartime or societal view point can create PTSD symptoms that can carry lingering memories which are debilitating in their own right
It can take years to sort out the specific stability treatments - possibly even many hospitalizations. It depends on the overs in and their specific personal issues. Be it bi-polar, schizophrenia, psychosis, etc.
The increasing pressures of our environment and world both medical n fiscal in changes being made in country, or Govt pr towns can tend to place immense strain in our personal lives. Especially with tech n consolidations occurring to be increasingly incorporated to displace people from the work force.
