Following on the ideas exposed in "Possibility of Telepathy", we
propose this unified approach to mental health issues. The basic
assumption is that there exists the real possibility of a persistent
(historical) perturbance of individuals by other individuals with the
species (brain) defined possibility of projecting thoughts and
individual or purpose of will to destabilize normally funtcioning
individuals. Assuming further that there is a baseline we can call
normal for all ages, cultures and civilizations for the working of
human individuals (Reason a defined by this species capabilities), we
can establish the following categorization of mental diseases:
1) neurosis
2) functional dysfunctions
3) induced (characteristic) dysfunctions
The neurosis category would include the classical sense of
misadaptation to current conditions that lead to decreasing well being
in the individual and other individuals associated to the diseased
individual. Neurosis are per se curable, as the individual can learn to
adapt and/or conditions can change to better the well being of the
individual and/or other individuals can change to conform to patterns
of well being of the target individual (revolution, sociological
change, new moralities...). Soe neurosis (border cases) may not be
curable if they invlove long processes of education that would take
total reorientation o fthe individual and maytake, in te limit, at
least the same time to change as the time it took to develop them.
Functional dysfunctions are actual defects, either congenit or
environmental (aquired), in the way the brain of an individula works or
can work. Classical examples are endogenous depressions, where the
chemical balances of the brain are permanently or temporally perturbed.
Gross dysfunctions would actually affect the individulas ability to
survive, while milder perturbances would only affect the individual in
its social character. This category of mental illnesses is by essence
uncurable, as they affect the very working structure of the brain.
