| 1: | Historical overview of Psychiatry: 1550 BC - 2010 AD
Egyptians wrote a book of medicine. It is likely a copy of a much older book, but it is quite fascinating to realize just how much the ancients knew about the human body and various diseases. While the cures were no better than a witches brew with "eye of newt", they did understand the various diseases. The only reference to anything coming close to psychiatry is in the section on the heart where anger and sadness are discussed. Biopsychiatrists love to quote the papyrus as proof that the Egyptians believed depression was caused by bodily diseases. But this is simply untrue. In fact the opposite is true. The Egyptians understood that anger and sadness caused body diseases in the heart. The papyrus reads: "When his Heart is afflicted and has tasted sadness, behold his Heart is closed in and darkness is in his body because of anger which is eating up his Heart." (The Egyptian Medical Ebers Papyrus: 1550 BC) Jumping forward 3000 years...

He'd been feeling very depressed, unable to get along with anyone, and hobbled by a terrible temper. And he had no hope that things would change, despite seeing a psychiatrist and taking med-ication. He was lying in bed contemplating the best way to commit suicide when by coincidence his girlfriend turned on the Today show while I happened to be on, discussing my book. He watched me ex-plain the brain scans of a person diagnosed with depression and anger. He heard me say that there was hope for people who suffered from these problems, that many "psychological problems" are in reality brain problems, and that through new imaging techniques we can see many of them and create more targeted and effective treatments. This patient went out and bought the book, did the checklists, and discovered that he probably had a left temporal lobe problem (which is where his anger came from), a deep limbic system problem (causing his depression), and a ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/change-your-brain-change-your-life-daniel-amen-1998ad.htm | Size: 23K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 3: | Mental Illness and Brain imaging systems: fMRI, CT, MRI, SPECT ... Brain imaging systems are very crude devices in that they merely measure blood flow in the brain which is assumed to correspond with electrical activity of the neurons in the brain. They cannot measure what is being thought or if there is a problem with thinking patterns. They are of no use in determining the cause of mental illness. Mental illnesses are rooted in the spirit, not the physical brain. The brain is a mere interface between the spirit and the body. The body is dead without the spirit. The spirit will continue to exist and think after the death of the body. Introduction: 1. Brain imaging systems are assumed to measure total electrical current inside the brain by measuring blood flow. They can also pinpoint where the current is flowing in the different parts of the brain. What and fMRI cannot do, for example, is tell you anything about what is the person is actually thinking. Brain imagery is based upon the theoretical relationship between neuronal activity and regional ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-mental-illness-brain-mind-imaging-CT-MRI-SPECT-PET-EEG-QEEG-fMRI.htm | Size: 52K Depth: 4 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
