Mental Health Schizophrenia

Dit boek is gewijd aan het verkennen van het complexe landschap van schizofrenie, een psychische aandoening die vaak omgeven is door misvattingen en stigma's. Onze reis begint met een diepgaand begrip van wat schizofrenie precies is, en geleidt je door de symptomen, de behandelingen en het belang van vroegtijdige herkenning. Schizofrenie heeft door de jaren heen vragen opgeroepen, zowel bij het grote publiek als binnen de medische gemeenschap.

Surviving Schizophrenia chronicles a path where biochemical intervention is not the sole factor relevant to mental illness. Varied "world views" - Christianity, Maori Pacifika lore, or the credo of a New Age, which have influenced myself - demand a broad approach to mental health. Reckless prescription of drugs should not substitute exclusively for alternative therapies.

In The Content of the Psychoses (1908), Jung presents case studies as proof that the purely anatomical approach to psychoses leads only indirectly to an understanding of psychic disturbances. He believes that many psychoses, and particularly schizophrenia, were psychogenic, resulting from an abaissement du niveau mental - a reduced state of concentration and attention, accompanied by a loosening of inhibitions and relaxation of restraints, in which unexpected contents may emerge from the collective unconscious.

Whispering in the Dark is a daring exploration of the intersection between schizophrenia and sexuality. In this captivating book, author Travis Breeding delves into the erotic delusions of schizophrenic patients, examining how their hallucinations and delusions manifest themselves in their sexual desires.

In this personal memoir, my recovery from schizophrenia is told in great detail. Beginning with nightmarish descriptions of ghosts haunting my thoughts to the fear God was dying, my journey to recovery was long and hard-fought. Eventually, as my condition and my faith in God improved, the madness that once occupied my mind began to fade.
