[quote:Anonymous Coward 9204251:MV8yMDA5NzQ5XzMzNzY3NTY1XzEyMzdEM0VE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 24990026:MV8yMDA5NzQ5XzMzNzY3NDE5XzU1MDI2MzM2] you know you've "made it" when your road to success is littered with corpses behind you (metaphorically for the most part). that's where the conflict comes in. we're hard wired for cooperative effort, but pushed by circumstance and greed to abandon that primal imperative so we can have the junk we brainwash ourselves into believing we need. [/quote] Yes, this "reality" has created mental illness. And it has been going on since humans evolved egos, and decided to ignore their problems. Simple solution; be a human being, deal with your problems, be responsible for who you are, and live your life. [/quote]
Original Message
A 'mental illness' is a disorder of the brain that results in a disruption in a person's thinking, feeling, moods, and socialization.
Yet our heart affects the way we feel as much as anything. A person with a big heart, or spirit, will have more confidence, and vice-versa.
So if in treating a mental illness, why do we not use pills that target our heart/spirit as well?
Is it because we do not know the source of our spirit?
And if that is the case, why then do we attempt to correct something that we do not fully understand?
It would be a bit like smashing a computer in order to turn it off. Why not simply pull the plug?
