Mental health can be taken to mean the inclusion of moral understanding through wisdom, and the person's ability to follow sociocognitive order, with neurological associations in the brain. Any lacking of these areas entails that one is only living an incomplete mental health. Mental health is a developmental end-point, and wisdom contributes to this more than anything during adulthood. Certainly, there is a synonymy between mental health and self-actualisation. Essentially, the mental health of one interacts with the mental health of others around them so as to show relative health levels. A perfect mental health is theoretically unobtainable until either a society or an individual has reached their ultimate developmental end-point without pathology. Mental health biases, which can be delusory or deceptive in nature, can enable some who are in more advantageous positions to accumulate unfair successes. A key ability of wisdom is the ability to circumvent psychosocial illness processes through direct negation of the expected follow-on responses; instead, with health sustained and presented. Wisdom is best developed through philosophical activity, where one necessarily takes a step back from the processes they otherwise live by without too much critical thought in order to discern rational structures producing function or dysfunction. So, indeed, self-awareness is quite key to any more advanced mental health. Which makes great sense really. A highly intelligent society as projected by futurists would have the strategic ability to understand how to work in ever-productive ways and not fall folly to dysfunctional downfalls.
Subjectivity can be a very complex thing. If we do not understand, then we can confuse ourselves; we can fail to understand in future times and all this can have an illness inducing effect on the psyche. Naturally, illness makes one more susceptible to mistakes and bad experiences from them cause further torment, the confusion increasing. Such a state is akin to being lost in a deep web of disorder where real sense cannot be really felt properly nor understood properly. The depression from all this, and anxiety, can often continue to make matters worse or sustain their perpetuation. The quickfix ”halt” remedy is sedation, which neutralises the mind so as to allow respite and a ”new start”. However, ills of afore often resurface in the memory and the web can manifest again before one realises they are too caught. This is the paradox of mental illness. The neuroscience mirrors this. Solution, it really lies in three things: willpower to stay motivated and marching forward in determination, morality to prevent further illness of one’s own fault, and education to elucidate the mind and matters of reality. Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are helpful safeguards which can provide more security and efficacy in the process.
The three most severe patterns of adult mental illness (as opposed to developmental symptoms) are bipolar-affective, schizophrenia-spectrum, or dementia-neurodegenerative. The first leaves one in a perennial state of emotional turmoil, with no apparent ability to self-regulate in a calm and orderly fashion. The second is indicative of detachment from reality and as such can leave one with nonsensical beliefs that manifest as asserted delusions or hallucinations from over-inducement of anxiety through the emotional discord experienced with lack of ability to communicate with others sensibly, and this stress can heavily influence working memory. The third, most life-threatening mental illness literally degenerates neurons and brain regions which adds to subjective illness and general impairment and which can cause strokes that would compound this effect; however, any worry of personally developing this condition can be significantly mitigated by the empirical fact that it is very usually only people in their latter years of life that develop it. Aside from these, there is one very terrible form of mental illness that can be more common to varying degrees: evil. This one manifests through malicious-will, offensive prejudgement, provokotary passive-aggressiveness, persistent pettiness, wickedness, authoritarian coldness, unlawfulness and all other facets of sinful behaviour. The one we should all most strive to negate.
There is a common misconception that mental illness is perpetually exclusive to the mentally disabled - the so called: "mentally ill". This couldn’t be further from the truth. As explained in a previous post, these people are naturally more susceptible to more lapses in functioning and others capitalise on this, psychosocially causing illness and confusion in those with more severe mental health disabilities, and it can cause insanity of action. This capitalist process can occur through overt ill-will and the rest of sinful behaviour. Because those who perpetuate these prejudices are necessarily unwise, the general public are left none the wiser. This grave injustice these people have endured has led to otherwise well-capable people of being at least healthy enough to get by having their lives destroyed by persecution. Some who would argue for socialism might empathise better with this reality. Of course, there are two reasonably distinct facets of mental health. All sensible minded people can acknowledge that disorder is a threat, and those with good hearts will know the great importance of morality. Illness causes immorality but illness is not always caused by immorality. Morality, though, causes wellness. And morality is often only actualised through wisdom. And wisdom, can often be prerequisitive upon experience with great difficulties - the ability to overcome. Because wisdom functions at the most fundamental levels, theoretically it could be possible to reverse all previous impairment and continue on to a developmental end-point, which, very well, could be immortality. Brain health informs the maintenance of body health. A perfect self healthcare both intrinsically and extrinsically could, quite probably, at least enable a considerably longer lifespan.
A woman of high intelligence once said:
"I have no desire to set a sugarcoated standard for mental health to satisfy a few billions of arrogant and insecure monkeys in the universe. Living in herd doesn't qualify as a society. People's morals are either admittedly utilitarian or hidden behind a flawed deontology, in any case they are inconsistent, self-destructive, and exogenous, hence out of self-control. Consistent morals would organize one's body so its individual evolution - the solving of one's flaws - is biologically everlasting. The internal sophocracy, externalized. A perfect deontology and epistemology. The morals of morals imply to become a perfect, perpetual society oneself. People don't qualify as healthy and moral until they become biologically immortal, or at least until they enter that process."
Additionally, if theology is quantum, then wisdom could allow for theological communication and influence. Unconsciously, people without wisdom could be communicating and being influenced by theology anyway. The allusion is clear as to whether you are good or evil. A theory of electrical transcurrence could mean electrons are switched from metaphysical, true reality to give us perception in the mind. And will could be communicated brain to brain through particles in the air. Neuroscience at the quantum level has not been understood but its possible metaphysicality would explain free will and give all the validity required for morality. Willpower is certainly metaphysical; it explains miracles and how people can defy working scientific expectations which should predict determinism. The grave sadness of ill-will is that people are merely determined by negativity.
The will is the soul of biology. "Those who do well in life go to heaven" - you've probably understood this before. Humans are political creatures. Doing well in life has a certain politics to it. Personalities could be metaphysically encoded which would explain the decay of the physical body yet the continuation of the soul in the afterlife.
Here is a ladder of core disciplines which would comprise the foundations and elucidations of life understanding.
Theology
Law
Politics
Economics
Sociology
Linguistics
Psychology
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Mathematics
Philosophy
Theology is the deepest forces and aspects of reality which overlap and follow from simple sense. The law deals with the management of humans according to rules which have theological origin. People who do well in life through obeying the law and unwritten rules are the ones who would be righteous. Economics deals with the management of resources and has an important role in politics which deals with the distribution of these resources and general leadership under the imperatives of social law. In economics the management of societal resources leads to sociological pictures of how a society is faring. Sociology looks at how whole societies function as a working process, sometimes in order to gain a relational understanding of certain groups or societal structures. Linguistics often divides social classes and has a major role in sociological patterns. It is the language of behaviour which is psychologically informed. Psychology is about human nature at the individual levels and as people interact with groups, looking at and working on things within the scope of mental health, intelligence and personality, understanding conscious experience sometimes with tools enabling the finding of neurological correlations in mirror of it. Biology is grounded in chemical processes and compositions. Chemical processes and compositions act according to physical laws. The laws of physics have mathematical derivation. Mathematics is complex formal logic and deals with abstract objects through its own innovative volition. Philosophy, as fundamental as any other discipline and which actively critiques and elucidates the nature of other disciplines and subject matter is able to identify biases which are central in how well other disciplines are applied and understood. It also shares a metaphysical theme with the transcendentalism and prophecy of theology completing a perfect circulatory link. One should be able to see that all of the core disciplines have links to each other. As such, there is now a valid model of the core disciplines of study and learning which necessarily include and validate theology. Therefore, we have every reason to be healthy and moral.
So to anyone with the sense to accept clear sense, I wish you well.
