Notes on Mental Health psychiatry is a valid medical construct. The brain is just in many ways, too complex a structure to be understood. I think it was Roger Penrose or Douglas Hofstadter in Metamagical Themas (a great book) who said that the Brain is too complex to understand itself. The chemicals the Doctors provide may be stabilizing agents in many psychiatric cases. But some childrens developing brains should ... not be overly chemically altered by some of these chemicals. Treating the symptoms *is not* treating the cause. The processes of society --- from Accelerated Lives (adrenalin surge on highways) to TV, Radio, chemicals in the Foodstream, Modern Techno-Info society) are very psychosomatically altering. Put all television advertising at the end of the hourly television program, as they do in Europe. And there are other natural methods of mental stabilization: 1) eat fish, fruits, vegetables, low gluten, low sugar, low red meat (google bread madness) 2) practice meditation style breath control (the lungs being like gas pedals ... go too fast, perception becomes a Blur, go to slow you get nowhere...) normally our breathing is a roller-coaster we cannot control ... a basic uncontrolled, autonomic functioning... but breathing is the primary agency of life : you can go without anything else for extended periods... but breath is Life. ReSPIRation is SPIRit is INSPIRATION.Consciously controlling and Slowing your breath down, consciously controlling the breath : when possible, is like seizing control over a gas pedal... 3) listen to music without words, (classical (esp. Chopin), Techno, Jazz) to deprogram away from artificially provoked Pavlovian emotional states. 4) watch television news with the sound down and the closed captioning on 5) avoid live real time Radio --- the immediacy and the tonality can consume the freedom of your brain. 6) when disturbed... walk. Walking is a fantastically forgotten method of being. Ghandi and Einstein both avowed the goodness of walking.
