Text of the page (random words):
ured by the doctor such as blood pressure this strongly suggests that the effect is primarily psychological but how does this produce a physical reduction in subjective symptoms as is well known now the subjects of psychology and neuroscience are deeply intertwined the study of the mind and the study of the brain without one you cannot have the other so one suggestion is that the patient s psychological state could affect the physical workings of the brain itself for example by altering the levels of various hormones the brain can learn to associate certain physiological happenings with exposure to a certain substance one example of this was a group of studies conducted on lab animals in which the animals were exposed to a saccharin paired with a drink which would produce immunosuppression soon the animals bodies began to produce the physiological responses causing immunosuppression merely upon tasting the saccharin even when the other drink was not present this included changes in the level of insulin secretion by the animals this is similar to the studies carried out by pavlov with his dogs functional imaging on patients suffering from pain whilst being administered a placebo showed activation of various areas of the brain including the amygdala which perform a primary role in emotional responses it has been recorded that some of these patients showed increased dopamine and opioid levels self reinforcing feedback loops are formed wherein the individual recalls taking the placebo and notes a decrease in pain and begins creating an association between the two an increased release in dopamine levels has also been noted when administering placebos to patients suffering depression all these theories work around two main concepts those of conditioning and expectancy the patient expects the drug to work and so notes a reduction in symptoms the patient then undergoes conditioning in which they begin to associate the drug with the reduced symptom so whenever they take the placebo they continue to experience the positive effects even small things such as the enthusiasm of the doctor and the appearance of the drugs given to the patient can effect the strength of this association in studies where patients were informed they were given a placebo all reports of reduced symptoms disappeared almost immediately for now we cannot be entirely sure where the line crosses from a psychological effect to a physical one but as neuroscience continues to expand and grow alongside psychology we could perhaps know the answers in the future until then placebos remain an effective if mysterious form of treatment for many even if they don t know it posted in health tagged drugs health medical medicine mental illness neuroscience placebos

somewhere else sorry posted in uncategorized tagged art artisan deviant deviantart nail nails whoops april 5 2013 by rubygloommel 0 apologies i just posted something on here which was intended for another blog sorry posted in uncategorized the purpose of art throughout history march 30 2013 by rubygloommel 2 throughout the history of mankind art has served several functions everything from creative expression to therapy from historic telling to the expression of ideologies from engaging an audience to engaging the mind art is often cited as of no practical use to humanity something nice to have but not of the same practicality as the sciences or literature however art has served both as a functional as well as an aesthetic purpose here i d like to talk about just a few of the ways that art has helped mankind the telling of history before photography though an art form in itself paintings sculptures and other forms of classical art were among the few ways that our ancestors helped us understand their lives the events that formed them and the cultures that shaped them i don t only mean the great war epics you find in great monuments and the houses of nobility but even moreso art which depicted the everyday lives of people in the past we see depicted the gaps between the rich and poor the religious views of the people the way in which different cultures intersected throughout history by bringing all these together we form a timeline of a sort watching humanity as it has changed over time its ideas its values its great events we see the scientific revolution in the mathematical precision of architecture in the renaissance we see the lavishness of the french nobility in the palace of versailles we see the strict religious values of the middle ages in the stained glass windows of a medieval church when even the literature of an age is lost it is often the art of an age which stands firm against the weathering of time to tell the present of the past therapy a more modern use of art is its role in therapy the use of art to an individual to express themselves and help them to gain understanding when all other methods have failed outsider art is a form of this the artistic expression of those with mental illness those who are imprisoned etc through their art they are able to achieve many things find a sort of peace gain a better understanding of themselves and the world around them or communicate with a world which can t otherwise understand them as well as helping the individual by viewing this type of art people can look into the minds of the outsiders see them for once as people different but yet the same however art can be therapeutic to anyone the benefits of having a creative outlet are often proclaimed by those working with mental health as humans we feel the need to understand be understood art is one way of doing that often working where other media hasn t literature often works in the same way it is a form of expression which allows humans to communicate on a greater level and to a larger audience than a simple conversation can art allows people to express what words often can t and humanity gains a greater understanding of the many people within itself for it spreading a message art can often be open to interpretation the artist may want each individual to form their own opinions on a piece making it personal to each person viewing it however at other times the artist may want to send out a clear message whether it be ideological political religious or otherwise through art people can express their distaste with the current state of world affairs can incite the world to action can commemorate those who have suffered or achieved great things or show the world the true colours of those who have done terrible things photography in particular is known for this photographers flying out to developing countries to show the rest of the world the true horrors of poverty and disease capturing moments in history to be remembered forever or to express emotions at times when the world isn t quite sure how to show what its feeling as with the famous photograph of the falling man from the 9 11 attacks art allows everyone to have their say and doesn t require that people be great speakers or intellectuals they can use any number of materials to show the world that they have something important to say and in turn it can inspire people make them think or spur them into action it should never be underestimated how powerful a tool art is for provoking both thought and action it is accessible to everyone and can be produced by anyone it is a universal language aesthetics what could perhaps be considered one of the less valuable qualities of art is its capacity to simply be beautiful however i would argue that this in itself is also important using art we can create emotions atmospheres different spaces where people can relax and get away from a world where functionality is becoming increasingly important it reminds people that there is more to life than simply being useful that you can sometimes simply stop to smell the roses and enjoy what there is to see around you whether it be made by nature or by man art can create something beautiful for everyone to enjoy without attaching a price tag to itself or trying to force itself to be functional or even practical it s something that can be enjoyed simply for what it is and can bring moments of peace in what can be an extremely hectic world a beautiful garden may not cure a disease or solve world hunger but it can bring moments of joy perhaps to people who otherwise have very few beauty is something which may be appreciated by everyone young or old rich or poor and it can bring these people together in their shared enjoyment of something which has no purpose other than to bring a smile to someone s face just from these few things we can already see that art is invaluable to humanity without it we as a people would be very much different it has shaped history culture and the minds and actions of people it is a powerful tool which should not be underestimated posted in art tagged aesthetics architecture art creativity culture expression function garden history ideology painting politics purpose sculpture therapy value the demonisation of pyschiatry march 22 2013 by rubygloommel 1 over the past couple of decades there has been monumental progress in the areas of psychology psychiatry and neuroscience however there have also been huge setbacks it is acknowledged by most medical professionals dealing with mental health issues that the majority of the disorder and illnesses they encounter require a combination of two types of treatment the pharmacological and therapy based however recently there has been a growing trend which refuses to acknowledge the benefits of the former instead insisting that drugs are simply handed out without discrimination to anyone complaining of a suspected mental health issue these same individuals stipulate that these medications are not only ineffective but also harm the person taking them here i would like to tackle many of the false assumptions these beliefs are based on and try to reverse the effects of what has become the demonisation of psychiatry firstly i would like to talk about the development and application of psychosomatic drugs depending on what is being treated there are many different drugs available to doctors to prescribe each with different benefits and different side effects each and every one of these drugs has gone through rigorous testing in the first to be sure that it is safe for human use secondly to prove that it does what it claimed i e treats the symptoms it is supposed to and thirdly that it does this more effectively and with less side effects that previous medication this process takes years and is extremely thorough it is certainly not the case that just any proposed drug is approved fda figures estimate that only 30 of proposed drugs even make it so far as phase i testing the same figures estimate a 8 approval rate for any new drug being tested even after all this testing once the drug has reached approval the measures taken to protect the patients who could potentially be administered the drug don t stop doctors and psychiatrists are well informed of the various risks associated with each drug and can choose the ideal one for any particular patient the patient is always informed of potential side effects and it is up to them to decide whether or not they are worth the risk the patients continue to be monitored for their tolerance of the drug and changes can be made either changing the dose or the drug completely or offering a new medication to off set certain side effects so that the patient receives the best possible treatment for them secondly i d like the address the mindset that psychosomatic drugs are ineffective of course you only need look at the evidence provided by the many drug trials and tests i mentioned previously to know that no drug gets onto the market without proving its worth drug trials aren t the only evidence though people who refuse to believe in the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for mental health issues are refuting thousands of papers written over a hundred years by the most respected professionals and researchers in these fields it is often suggested that these professionals have something to gain by distorting the facts but this clearly isn t the case if a psychiatrist at the top of his field were to write a paper proclaiming the benefits of a drug that is later found to be ineffective than that psychiatrist would effectively be at the end of his career the same is suggested of the people running the drug trials it s often stipulated that they re in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies not taking into account the massive cost of conducting expensive trials over many years with a very low success rate often these scientists find that they have spent many years working on a potential drug to no avail as for the pharmaceutical companies themselves it brings them no benefit to sell ineffective drugs they would soon find themselves losing business if the medicine they were selling wasn t bringing any health benefits to their customers one argument given is that this actually benefits them as people who don t get better have to keep taking medicine however it s unlikely that a patient would continue an ineffective treatment and in any case it can hardly be argued that there is a shortage of people who need psychosomatic drugs it is far better for the company to cure people and attract others who also want the benefits of what they re selling this in itself is just common business sense finally i d like to talk about how the drugs are prescribed it is often said that doctors simply throw drugs at a patient and send them on their way this is not the case as i ve said previously doctors have to consider the individual patient and the patient themselves has a say on the treatment they receive good doctors will make a real effort to educate the patient on the effects of a particular drug before prescribing it to them it is also rare that drugs are the only solution offered doctors are the first to suggest various types of therapy based treatments and often have a lot of information and leaflets on offer suggesting local services which the patient can take advantage of it is also the doctors job to refer you to the type of therapist suited to you for example after discussing it with you they may suggest a counsellor who works with cognitive behavioural therapy but this is after discussion with you and...
