The two topics I chose were not as irnneestitg to me because the two I liked were already taken above, but we need to be aware of also, post-traumatic stress disorder and the biological basis for mental illness. So maybe if we can understand the cause or how our brain interprets things we can better understand mental illness and disorders.Post-traumatic stress disorder is being thrown out there a lot lately with all our soldiers coming back from war experiences and not being able to cope with it. My husband has had it for 4 years now and it does get better even though we are still fighting with the proper medicine. I don't believe in just giving different types of medicine until one works in your life! The VA dept. seems to think this is the way to do it. When one medicine makes him sleepy instead of finding a better one they just give him another pill for waking him up. Then he can't sleep at night so they give him another pill for that and so on and so forth! At one time he was taking 12 different pills at one time, since he was also dealing with multiple injuries and brain trauma. This was just ridiculous! So on our own we had to experiment for about a year on certain pills and a diary as to how they made him feel! He is only down to 1 pill for anxiety and 1 pill for his nightmares in the evenings. I guess we just have to realize what pills actually do to our brains and this goes into my other irnneestitg thing in Module 11 that I think we all need to understand better!In the text it discusses biological basis for mental illness and though the text talks about neurotransmitters and how they work, it was hard for me to understand. The easiest way was to read the few sentences of, voluntary and involuntary physical and psychological processes, such as heart rate, blood pressure, behavior, emotions, mood, sleep, and se4x drive, are regulated by intricate neurotransmitter activity. So saying that irregularity of neurotransmitters or even too many of them in the different areas of the brain can cause the mental illness. So if I have too many neurotransmitters in my sexual drive then I may not be wanting to have sex at all; or for some men they might not be able to have an erection. So this is how all the issues arise in our lives. If you start taking medicine for one issue it might cause another issue.
