What is Psychology? In my research of Psychology and its meaning I
have come up with many definitions. To sum all of the definitions into one it's
the study ones feelings, thoughts, and their way of thinking and using all of
there senses rather its cognitive, physical, or mental. Some other questions
that came to mind during my research are what is normal psychology and what is
abnormal psychology?
What is normal psychology? Most people consider one to
be normal if they seem
to have no problems physically or mentally. Are
you O.K. the way you are? Should you
be different? Most of us tend to
roles that are acceptable behavior in society. Society
expects us all to
play certain roles. Health and science guide says that normality is only
questioned when there is a conflict between roles. Why do we conform to
these roles?
We do it because in most societies, including ours, there
are rewards for conformity.
People tend to treat us with respect when we
play roles that others are comfortable with.
What is abnormal
psychology? I think it could be the study of mental illness as
some
journals stated. Overall it's the study of mental illnesses and of how people
with mental illnesses can be treated. Stated in Health and Science guide mental
illness is a much-debated topic in the world of psychology to which a lot of
research is still needed. Problems usually come up when people try to define
what is normal. Sigmund Freud was considered to be the father of Psychoanalysis,
said there was no such thing as a normal person.
Mental illness
is considered to be an illness of the mind, which makes it difficult for people
to carry out a normal, productive lifestyle. Mental illnesses range from
depression to schizophrenia (a very serious mind disorder). It is important to
remember that people with such disorders ate stricken with an illness. They have
no more control over their illness than when a person gets flu or a cold. When I
am sick with a fever or flu I would either try or treat with an over the counter
product or go to a doctor. A person with a mental disorder may go to a medical
doctor, or to a psychiatrist (a medical doctor who specializes in treating
mental problems through therapy and medication) or to a psychologist (who is not
a medical doctor, but who treats mental and emotional problems through therapy).
He or she also may consult other therapist, such as a social worker of
psychiatric nurse. In Health and Science guide it's said the recent speculation
and discoveries are relating mental illnesses to chemical imbalances in the
brain and /or body. Beginning in the 1950's a new class of drugs put on the
market allowed many people with mental illnesses who otherwise would have been
hospitalized to be treated outside of hospitals, and to live much more normal
lives. Other research has shown that if a person has a history of family members
who have mental illnesses, he or she may be Monroe likely to contract the
illness. Present genetic research should soon allow us to better control many
frustrating mental illnesses.
Although people with mental illnesses might
feel alone in dealing with their problems, like most us do when dealing with
problems whether its classes, test, family, or whether you are going to pass
your PSYCHOLOGY CLASS it still affects a lot of us as
a society. On November
17, 2000 I spoke with a professor of Psychology at Oklahoma State University Dr.
Thathcher gave me some shocking statistics: Mental illness affects one in five
americans and 20 percent of the population and is second to heart disease in
causing premature deaths and lost of productivity. Despite more than a century
of study, the mind still seems to resist our best efforts to find its secrets.
While we've learned much about certain functional aspects of mental illness,
anxiety and depression are ones we still don't know causes mental problems.
Although many people have many fears, conflicts, anxieties, and desires we
have learned to manage them by using behaviors we have adapted to defend
ourselves in our life. While most people handle things well many people have
fears and wishes in the back of there head that are so intense and conflicting
that they lead to a large amount of anxiety, depression, phobias and other
symptoms. Dr. Thathcher stated that prevailing psychotherapeutic wisdom holds
that helping patients develop a means of looking at their internal world in
order to gain insight will then help them develop healthier ways of managing
their behavior and thus manage those unconscious aspects of their minds
differently.
My psychology professor once stated during a class session that
"A lot of people are stuck in a childhood perspective of life without knowing
it." In the Monkeyshines on Health and Science it says that unresolved childhood
issues may persist outside our awareness and cause us to repeatedly make the
same mistakes in life. Like choosing the wrong kinds of partners and having the
same kids of relationship difficulties over and
over again. We may be able
to learn from these mistakes because our own early relationship attachments are
so strong.
Advances in neuroscience are showing how memories are
laid down early in life and how particular relationship interactions becomes
deeply ingrained in memory at a very early age. If there were certain perceived
psychological traumas in those relationships, it becomes easier for a person to
become "stuck" in adulthood. "Perception" is important: What one person may
remember as traumatic, another person may not even remember as upsetting. Most
of us know that the mind and body are not separate parts and that what affects
one usually affects the other. Thatcher stated that "we often manifest emotional
disturbances through out bodies." He says that 20 to 40 percent of patients seen
by a typical family practitioner involve mental illness. Its important that we
try to destigmatize mental illness and get people the help we now have
available.
Treatment options for those with emotional, behavioral and mental
difficulties include psychotherapy, drug therapy, and a combination of drugs and
psychotherapy. Some patients require more supportive psychotherapy, in which the
therapist makes suggestions and offers direction, educating the patient about
his illness and how it affects his everyday interpersonal interactions,
relationships and job.
In my research of what is normal and abnormal
psychology, I have learned that behavior affects the way society perceives you
rather you think your normal or abnormal. That everyone suffers from some type
of mental illness whether it's a problem you are dealing with or how you feel.
It may not be long term but when you are suffering with that problem there is a
slight chance that you can be considered mentally ill at that time.
