Especially stressed people or those with anxiety disorders

Something Like psychosis or schizophrenia, include irregular behaviors while the patient always have some logic and sense to cover his irregularities

Would the child be able to subconsciously understand what happened and could this cause problems in the future?

What happens to someone psychologically when they are constantly accused of wrongdoing, while being 100% innocent.

if a person had narcissistic traits could they possibly overcome them? is it possible to not be narcissistic anymore?

Hello (f19) here , for the last 4 years I’ve been extremely fatigued , brain fog , can’t enjoy absolute crap at all, I’m professionally diagnosed with ASD and ADHD , I’ve been through 3 therapists already and talk therapy just doesn’t cut it , for years I keep racking and racking my brain on “why the hell am I experiencing what I’m experiencing “ “why is my brain doing this” I’m just so confused all the time .

I'm talking about physical high too, sometimes so strong that it makes my stomach hurt... is anyone else experiencing this? and why does this happen? i never understood the mechanism behind it

Good afternoon o/!

How are you?

From my reading of some scientific articles within Social Psychology, I noticed the similarity between the concepts of these two terms, so my question is: do they translate the same social behavior or are they explanations for a kind of level of social behavior?

Thank you in advance for your answers and I also inform you that I am not an academic, professional or enthusiast on the subject, I am interested in understanding certain things.

Is there any way to properly rest it? When decision making is terrible, prefrontal cortex is overstimulated and you’re getting easily irradiated.

Probably are signs of poor sleep, but I want to know if there is a specific exercise or way to relax and rest this part of the brain.

Hi all,

I have a peculiar question today.

I have recently gotten interested in philosophy and psychology (I am still working on understanding the core differences between the two) and was wondering if there were any writings or philosophers/psychologists that could help me research the "self" and how one goes about being "enough" for them selves; or more specifically how a person would find a path of self reliance instead of seeking praise and validation from others.

I don't know if psychology can help me research this, but I'd be extremely happy to hear from any of you regarding recommendations or even your own experiences in this matter.

Wishing you all a pleasant day/night

Sorry if this is the wrong forum i haven't been able to find an answer on google. also not sure which flair to use.

I've been reading about lack of reading comprehension in the functionally illiterate. I may be misunderstanding but assuming you are reading a sentence in your native language and do not have a disorder that prevents processing language how is it possible to read words that you know and not understand their meaning? I keep seeing people talk about how the functionally illiterate can read a sentence in their native language and not be able to describe it's meaning and i guess ironically i can't understand how that's possible. or maybe im misunderstanding?

I often hear everyday people say abuse/bullying (not rape though), happens because the abusers/bullies were victims themselves. Is this actually true? Are the majority of abuses/bullies previous victims? I tried researching it, but couldn't find anything, except personal anecdotes.

Furthermore, does anyone have any reliable research about why people abuse? I often hear it's because "deep" down they feel insecure, have low self-esteem etc., but is this actually true? I've heard about the book Why Does He Do That?, where he argues abusers abuse, because of values and attitudes not trauma, but I'm not sure how scientifically supported it is. Additionally, the emphasize is on male on female abuse, there's nothing about m/m, f/m abuse.

Not sure which flair to use so apologies for that

Further questions-

What disorders have been found? Which animals have exhibited disorders?

How studied are mental disorders in other mammals? Is it a relatively newer field? Is it a popular field?

The question is simple. I was just wondering how much are we in control of our thoughts, what we think, perceive and feel. Would it be possible to control your thoughts? And if yes, could we still be called human after that?

Google tells me in 1909, Freud travelled to the US for a series of lectures which made him more internationally known -- but was he already well known in Europe? I'm trying to understand the timeline of his influence on European art and philosophy, and I can't get much of an answer online.

For example, around 1892-1893, a group of artists used to hang out in a pub in Berlin. This included the playwright Strindberg, the painter Edvard Munch, and collection of writers, poets and satanists who were working on art that explored deep human experiences, emotions, anxieties, etc. Though some used the term "psychology" in their work, I'm almost certain they were influenced by Nietzsche's conception of it, not Freud's. Yet there are some articles I've read who attribute works like The Scream, which was created during this period, to Munch's reaction to the growing field of psychology -- specifically Freud.

At this time, Freud only seems to have published: On Coca, On Aphasia, and A Case of Successful Treatment of Hypnotism (maybe Charcot as well). My gut instinct would tell me he was still relatively unknown at this point (still lecturing to fairly small classes in Vienna), but I don't know for sure. Any help is appreciated.

Mental breakdown? Depression? Anxiety?

From my (probably limited) understanding of neurotransmitter action in the brain, serotonin helps the transmission of mood related information across a synaptic gap. How can this be if, as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it reduces the probability of the post synaptic neuron firing?

I’ve recently learned about classical conditioning, and I’m curious if it would be possible to pair focussing with wearing glasses as I have just received a mild prescription. My procedure would simply be to only wear the glasses when I am focussing deeply on something and take them off when I’m taking breaks or not working on anything. Thank you in advance!

I'm sorry if the flair is wrong.

What causes some people to like the taste of healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, while other people do not like them and therefore do not eat them at all? (Edited to add: I am not asking about people who learn to like healthy foods because of the benefits of eating them. I'm asking about people who genuinely eat healthy or unhealthy foods because they like the taste, regardless of positive or negative health impact. So basically what makes someone like the taste of a food?)

Also, what causes people to like or dislike certain tastes, like sour or bitter?

And something someone didn't like as a child they may try again as an adult and like it. What causes this change as well?

I only know introvert and extrovert but I heard people saying they're "ambivert", because they're half introvert and half extrovert. Is it proper for them to say they're ambivert? Aren't people who are extrovert has a side of them introvert and vice versa? Please enlighten me. Thanks!

Having ASS myself, none whatsoever phobia, succesful in a profession dependent on good professional communication, I still get completely mentally drained at even a coffe break with social citchat. And its like - why the hell can’t I do this? What part of my brain is missing or permanently out of order?

I've been reading about ACT and had this beautiful thought: the whole point of suffering is for you not to like it, and the moment you fully accept the experience of it suffering just can't keep up.

This makes a lot of sense to me intuitively, but I find it difficult to think how this works exactly. The explanation seems to be kind of philosophical: it's almost as if the concept of suffering makes it incompatible with acceptance of suffering.

Are there actual theoretical explanations to this fact?

From what I know of the available literature, play is an essential part of the cognitive development of not only humans, but virtually every mammal and at least a few non-mammals. There's a lot of support for play-based learning in children, but what about adults? The idea of "far transfer" seems pretty controversial--if play supports cognitive development in children, why wouldn't it have similar (though possibly reduced) effects on adults?

For example if someone otherwise logical randomly gets really really freaked out and insists that someone is in their house or that someone is following them or whatever else that is clearly not true and really believes it but after like a few hours to a day they realize that its not true and just act normal until something like that happens again?

What is the effect or phenomenon similar to the False uniqueness effect but not exactly?

It's like imagine you're in a group of people in a room. And your boss discloses a new policy, and in your head you're thinking "man that sounds like a really unfair policy", but no one else is saying anything, so you think "well it appears that I'm the only one that feels this way so I must be the unpopular opinion and I don't really want to single myself out" so you stay quiet. However, 5-6 of the 10 people you're in the room with, also had the same thought, but also said "well no one else seems to have the same thought so I'm the minority here" and chose to stay silent. When in reality, those who aren't speaking up, they're the majority but unexpressed and unspoken because they don't realize or believe they're the majority.

What is that called? I thought there was a term for it but I forgot. Or like, it was commonly used in previous years during topics of the "blue code of silence" discussions involving corruption in law enforcement, where some officers did not want to be a part of it, but believed they were the minority and thus did not speak out, when in reality, they alongside many others who felt the same, were actually the majority.

Why do unexpected twists happen even though it's all coming from my own mind?

I was explaining Skinner boxes to my kid in relation to video game rewards, and as the conversation continued, they asked about experiments that had both positive reinforcement and punishment in the regards to the same behavior. I personally haven't come across it, and a quick search yielded nothing, but it's also not my field. I was wondering if anyone know of any articles that showed such research.

I have read a bit about it but still can't actually figure out how to do it, I tried reading some of his books but didn't understand :(

This will sound mechanistic, but from what I've observed, it's like a mechanism of the mind.
