Mental illness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) A mental illness is a psychiatric disorder that results in a disruption in a person's thinking, feeling, moods, and ability to relate to others. Advocacy organizations have been trying to change the common perception of psychiatric disorders as a sign of personal weakness and something to be ashamed of to an affliction akin to physical diseases (like the measles). Drug therapies for severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and clinical depression which are consistent with biochemical models have been remarkably effective, and there are reports of increasively effective treatments for schizophrenia. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/mental_illness   (1144 words)

Answers to Your Questions About Panic Disorder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) For example, if a person with panic disorder experiences a racing heartbeat caused by drinking coffee, exercising, or taking a certain medication, they might interpret this as a symptom of an attack and, because of their anxiety, actually bring on the attack. Many people who suffer from panic disorder are worried that their panic attacks mean they're 'going crazy' or that the panic might induce a heart attack. People with panic disorder are more afraid of the actual attack than they are of specific objects or events; for instance, their 'fear of flying' is not that the planes will crash but that they will have a panic attack in a place, like a plane, where they can't get to help. www.apa.org /pubinfo/panic.html   (1961 words)

Hampton Union Local News: Psychological disorder does not absolve Cook of guilt During Cook’s psychological rehabilitation, a forensic psychologist determined that Cook suffered from a psychological disorder known as Stockholm Syndrome, that caused her to submit to the will of her allegedly abusive husband. However, it does not appear that her psychological disorder rises to the level of absolving her from the very violent murder she participated in. Her diagnosis may highlight a portion of her motivation to help kill Cushing, but it does not seem to rise to the level of an irresistible impulse that led her to murder. www.yorkweekly.com /2002news/hampton/12132002/opinion/3056.htm   (634 words)

Psychological Disorder Gene Identified "While a single gene cannot be held accountable for complex emotional states - such as anxiety disorders - we're beginning to pinpoint which genetic traits may make a person susceptible to developing psychological disorders," said Norman Schmidt, a study co-author and an associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University. For other people, the heart rate increased as a result of the carbon dioxide test, but then dropped after it was clear to them they were in no danger.

Religious Fundamentalism a Psychological Disorder? A new patient comes to see you and says that he regularly talks to an invisible being who never responds, that he reads excerpts from one ancient book and that he believes wholeheartedly that its contents must be accepted implicitly, if not taken literally.
