Cognitive Mental
Health Disorders
Therapists around the globe
are constantly searching for answers that help them understand mental
illnesses. Cognitive disorders including, dementia, delirium, alcohol-induced
disorders, and other related disorders are under constant studies. Most cognitive
disorders listed in this article have classic denominators, including loss of
memory. Most of the diagnoses are linked to disease of the brain or biological
disease, or else alcoholism and related chemicals. Often people with cognitive
disorders have difficulty with speech, including relating with others, and
reasoning.
Their judgment is often
affected, and their ability to recognize is often comprehended differently than
the normal mind. Often the patients suffer depression, irritation, paranoia,
and other related symptoms that could easily be misdiagnosed, since bipolar has
similar characteristic symptoms. Delirium includes symptoms that target the
awareness, signals confusion, effects speech, loss of memory, imposes fear,
stems depression, and many other symptoms that affect the patient. Physical
symptoms also insult the patient. Increased heart rate, disturbance in sleep,
nausea, and many other physical symptoms make it difficult for the patient to
find comfort. Recent studies have shown however that medications can increase
symptoms in the disorder, including strokes, heart attacks, imbalances and so
forth.
Dementia is a type of
Alzheimer disease that causes the patient to lose memory, learning inabilities,
language impairments, and so forth. AIDS stokes, heart failures, and other
chronic problems may cause a person to suffer dementia. People that suffer
dementia may personal hygiene incapacities, poor judgment, avoidance,
personality altering, and so forth. The diagnoses can be misconstrued for
several disorders, including major depressive. It is important to avoid alcohol
if you are suffering with any symptoms of mental illness. Alcohol only
increases the symptoms interruptions and causes more harm to the patient. Many
mental ill patients will resort to alcohol and/or drugs to find a source of
relief from their suffering. This is not the solution and should be avoided at
all cost.
Alcohol-induced disorders are
classified in cognitive disorders simply because the symptoms are related, and
many of the diagnoses are a direct result of substances in many cases. This is
not true of all mentally ill patients. Therapists have treated many patients
that have never touched alcohol or drugs. Although many counselors will try to
find this as an excuse to eliminate the worst-case scenario. Alcohol induced
disorders are also known as ‘Korsakoff’s Syndrome,” which affects the memory
directly. Symptoms often include memory loss, denial, indifferences, sometimes-violent
behaviors, and so forth. Most alcoholic or drug patients are direct link
nutritional deficiencies, which often include B-Complex. It is often difficult
to treat alcoholism, however it is possible.
It takes the person to will
their self free of the substances, acceptance is the beginning of recovery.
Many patients that are alcoholics or addicts sometimes treated with medications
for physical impairments. I have acknowledged obsessive medicinal deliveries,
and often the medicines that are provided to the patient with trigger the
alcoholism symptoms. High dosage of B-Complex is often given to patients in
extensive outpatient/inpatient therapy where alcohol and drugs are the problem.
If the patient is at an early stage then it is possible to treat the patient
affectively. Nowadays alcoholism is affecting children, and it is time that we
take a step to stop the increase of alcoholism and drug addictions, before it
is too late. Therapists are constantly searching for a way to resolve the many
mental illnesses today.
As they study, they are
finding that more problems are out there and it only slows them down, since
when they find new discoveries they focus on this problem, pushing the other
diagnoses to the back momentarily or else linking them together. Mental illness
whether it be alcoholism or other diagnoses is not a game. There are millions
of people around the globe suffering everyday and are rarely receiving the care
they deserve. We all people and all of us deserve care, including (if not more
so) those with mental illnesses. In the next article, we are going to discuss
more severe disorders, including antisocial behaviors, obsessive-compulsive
behaviors, schizoid, schizotypal, and so forth. I think it is important that we
all have a basic knowledge of the many diagnoses in the world. Having a basic
knowledge can help us to cope or help someone that is suffering mental
illnesses.
