Health and normality

The theme of madness has been present throughout human history, although its concept and definition have evolved in line with culture and society. Has been dealt with philosophical approaches, mystical-religious and, since relatively recently, doctors. But each of these viewpoints has tried to fool them differently, either Honoring their disease related with the demonic-possession which leads to the purification through the exclusion or death of the patient and, in the latter case , Isolating it in homes or hospitals to ensure order.
These different conceptions have left footprints in culture and social representations that still remain. Not for nothing yet there is a feeling of fear and rejection of insanity and, indeed, its scientific study is fairly recent.


But what is normal? In reality it is only what is right or seen is well accepted in general by a particular society, community or group. Consequently, if it is something normal that we accept because we see it every day and which we are familiar, is not it possible that all we were crazy because we see as normal insanity of others? It would not be anything crazy to think so, because it is easy to live normal if we are assuming that we have as reference what is abnormal, or madness. Having a clearly defined line of what is madness lets us engaged as if nothing and no others see us badly.
Do not fool is one who lives believing that what is normal although it is not? So we are all fools and only those who call themselves "normal" living with a costume that allows them to move through this world without guilt or criticism of any part of the "normal" out there. Therefore what is considered madness is changing over time, such as seasonal clothing, because once we got used to view and hear it, simply ceases to be to turn everyday, what is right.
What a dull life would be without a little madness! Who knows what crazy is not so much for the sake of understanding what it does, and who ceases to be normal is when the "normal" consider him crazy.
In everyday language, the word must be crazy to be one of the most widely used; certainly employ the young people to be recognized as peers, older people to discredit one another, and comes from pearls to describe something creative, out-of-the common; it is curious that we miss by a term used to describe people who are sick of mind.
"From poets, scientists and we are all a little crazy," says popular wisdom, and often we check in our life when we recognize ourselves in them a little bit rational.
And there is psychiatry, the medical discipline that takes nearly two centuries to deal with mental illness, classifications, treatments and definitions, to the point that there are no movie or soap opera that has not a character psychiatrist or priest. They and their speech are located in the history of film and television as bearers of reason, almost half of the fair. Practically we know that when tangling and untangling of the plot are in full swing, see any doctor or psychologist that restores calm and wisdom. Neither does lack speak, because the subject is able to convey to viewers the beleaguered peace and tranquility itself "from who knows", which is not entangle leaves, which reinstalled the reason. Because of that appears to treat one of the themes of madness: the crazy and sane, of reason and unreason, and there are up to the blessed issue of limits: how far reaching the realm of madness, how far the madness, irrationality?
It is ironic that history is replete with characters whose follies did change its course, which was later recalled by all, less for his mental illness, among them Salvador Dalí, with his assertions, such as: "the crazy world we live in The sane living in the world of others, for us the time does not exist, but it is essential for sane; the crazy life we live in the manner in which we dream, the sane have to think ten times what they will say; We act according to our instincts, the sane for convenience; fools believe the reality, the sane are those who live it, everyone speaks alone, but while we do it out loud, the sane do it in silence for fear of to listen; madmen do not need money, for the sane them ever reached, the crazy travel to other universes, the sane are afraid to leave the land, we feel free, but the sane always bent on encerrarnos. "
Psychiatry is the medical science that is dedicated to serving and treating, mental illnesses, which are many and would be long list. However, we can mention schizophrenia, which has been listed as a synonym di madness. One example is the patient whose symptoms; manifested psychotic delusions and hallucinations with which Dios was still sends the message to "save the world," and that his mental disorder feet generates multiple conflicts in the family, what condition be placed in psychiatric hospitals, given s poor therapeutic adherence .. His mental state has started to improve by giving treatment, the symptoms you rem and restored their coherence and their consistency, as to the ability to view, which allows difference, between what real and the unreal.
There is also the case patient's neurotic, PEI shoots pessimistic and catastrophic c which is not able to cope with the hardships of daily life. Integrated into a psychotherapeutic process and, if necessary with psychopharmacological treatment, you can recover your mood.
