Introduction to Mental Health and Disease
Mind matters
Description
In this course on mental health, you will learn a wide range of pathologies of the mind starting from addiction studies to mood disorders, psychotic disorders, conversion disorders, neurotic disorders, stress-related disorders, personality disorders etc.
This course spans around 5 and a 1/2 hours duration and offers a comprehensive and easy to understand version of psychiatry.
The psychiatric diseases are described and explained in a clear and interesting manner based on the ICD-10 classification of diseases.
This is your chance to learn what only specialists know. This knowledge can be used in a non-clinical way to develop suspicion in people around you who have subtle to overt abnormal or strange behaviour, too withdrawn or violent behaviour etc. This can help you to help them seek proper treatment and even save others who might be affected by them. This knowledge can also help you to understand that people are controlled by a lot of sub-rational, subconscious factors and environmental influences which can affect their state of mind, actions and reactions. This understanding of the other can help you to develop empathy for them and be compassionate towards them.
I recommend you to take a week and learn these facts of science and life which have impacted the whole new way of looking at people and helping people who need it. You will come out of this course more informed and surely with a transformed outlook. This course will make you more intelligent and empathetic and will help you to look at fellow human beings in a whole new way and perspective.
