What is an illness?
“Every disease originates from a shock or trauma that catches us completely by surprise.”
The Missing Information for Helping to Heal Different Types of Mental Illness
The different types of mental illness, like all illness, are not caused by improperly functioning or inferior machinery. As with all other forms of disease, mental illness is an evolved, biologically-appropriate response to a person’s life experience.
We’ll focus unconsciously on our problem night and day until it is resolved. The physical and mental symptoms appear differently only according to the type of life experience that has occurred, whether it has been ongoing or has been solved, and other related factors.
However, in the case of mental illness, the primary physical outcome is not growth of extra tissue somewhere in the body, or a change in the way some body system functions. Instead, mental illnesses involve one or more physical symptoms of extreme hypsersensitivity, psychosis, compulsive behaviour, memory problems, disorientation, or apathy.
1. Extreme hypersensitivity, in one or more of the five senses, leading to an extremely elevated level of sensory awareness, leading to extremely altered perception of reality. This normally results from having the sensory part of both sides of the brain involved at once.
These types of mental illness symptoms include:
paranoia cacosmia (paranoia about smells) tinnitis (ringing in the ears) acrophobia (fear of heights) auditory hallucinations tactile defensiveness
2. Psychosis, including dissociation, which means a sense of unreality or a feeling of being part of a radically different reality from normal - or of simply disconnecting from the physical world altogether. This results from being directed by the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex to deal with life situations that call for opposite reactions.
If this occurs during the first seven years of life (including before birth), it will result in developmental arrest for the entire duration that the pair of conflicts continues. Developmental arrest or even regression will recur each time that pair of conflicts recurs.
Types of mental illness that involve psychosis include:
panic disorder/anxiety attacks out-of-body sensations mythodepression (racing thoughts that can’t be expressed) nymphodepression (men or women - thinking about sex constantly) deep shame catatonia anorexia obsessive thoughts of the afterlife, death, extistentialism
3. Compulsive or uncontrolled behaviour, including addictions, resulting from strong conflicting feelings when the brain responds to two (or more) conflicts by requiring us to undertake conflicting actions.
compulsive behaviours such as extreme neatness workaholism rages bulimia suicidal thoughts, desires, or efforts self-mutilation alcoholism other addictions
4. Memory problems and blanking out, which result specifically from separation conflicts. This isn’t in itself usually described as one of the types of mental illness, but it plays an important role in several diagnoses of other types of mental illness or mental problems, including multiple personality disorder and Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Disorientation, which results specifically from conflict experiences handled by both the left and the right side of pons of the brainstem.
6. Sociopathy or apathy - a feeling of complete absence of emotion. This results specifically from a pair of conflicts handled by certain positions on either side of the cerebellum (little brain).
Basically, most of the many types of mental illness result from the brain requiring us to respond to two (or more) experiences with opposite or conflicting responses.
Although any animal can (and does) experience mental illness, the phenomenon is far more prevalent in our own species. The reason has to do with the fact that most diagnosed types of mental illnesses result from brain constellations in the cerebral cortex: the wrinkly outer bark of the brain. This part of the brain is what we use to sense and react to our environment.
In humans, the cerebral cortex is extremely large compared to that of most animals. This is because humans are social beings and the most important part of our immediate environment is other people. So our cerebral cortices are often called upon to deal with conflicts that have to do with our territory and threats that occur in our territory.
In other words, many types of mental illness are the result of relationship problems.
We also experience many types of mental illness because civilized life does not provide many opportunities for appropriate resolution of our cortical conflicts. Many of our conflicts can’t legally be handled the way we subconsciously want to handle them - by fighting, for example.
The reason that cerebral cortex conflicts can produce psychosis is that the two hemispheres of the brain respond differently from one another:
Depression The right side of the cerebral cortex responds to events that are under its “jurisdiction” by becoming contemplative, going within, becoming introverted, and only thinking about the present moment. This is called depression.
Depressive types of mental illness include things like:
depression - inability to get motivated, territorial anger, feeling too powerful, need to hold back, feeling everyone wants to take what you have, inability to express strong feelings or to connect with others, feeling insulted/disrespected Mania The left half of the cortex of the brain responds to events that are part of its responsibility by taking action, focusing outward, and by rapidly comparing past and future, making quick judgments, and “leaping before you look.” This is called mania.
Manic types of mental illness include things like:
mania - inability to just compose yourself and allow yourself to think up a logical response, feeling rejected, inability to hide your feelings from others, jumping from one position to another, feeling like you agree with all sides of the story, feeling like you want what others have Nature has evolved many kinds of very complex responses to various kinds of situations, because these responses give us a better chance of survival. What conventional medicine diagnoses as various types of mental illness, the German New Medicine healer sees as a pattern of life experiences to which the human being is responding.
This compassionate viewpoint is the missing piece of the puzzle to finding the cause (and cure) for all types of mental illness.
