PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCOMFORT USED IN DAILY LIFE AND OFTEN USED INCORRECT
You’ve always heard people call their friends, their exes ‘psychopaths. Similarly, we can accuse a neighbor of acting erratically of being ‘schizophrenic. These have become common used ‘adjectives. Today, psychological disorders are touted as ‘ordinary and even ‘cool phenomena, especially because of the distorted perception of movies. This causes people who really suffer from these diseases to be underestimated and makes it difficult to draw attention to some critical situations that make life difficult. Now let us understand this by going through the 4 basic diseases…
1. Obsessed
OCD is used in the sense of ‘obsessed, for people who often repeat certain behaviors in public. For example, you can easily qualify your roommate’s behavior to wash every dish standing by the sink without waiting, or the fact that a person constantly wears orange sweaters as OCD. However, this is not OCD. OCD is a very serious disease that often seriously lowers living standards. People with OCD have self-repeating thoughts that the individual does not want, but despite this, constantly tamper with his mind. These uncomfortable thoughts are called ‘obsession. Behaviors performed as a result of these obsessions are called ‘compulsive behaviors, which means compulsive behaviors.
People with OCD have thoughts for example, that if they do not press a certain light button 4 times in a row, something terrible will happen to them and even die. Therefore, the desire to fix a trapezoidal frame, the desire to put your notebooks in line, the curiosity to walk without pressing the edges of the squares on the ground, the discomfort of not pulling the strips properly, is not OCD.
These are invented obsessions that are seen as a result of the marketing of a disease called OCD to society as if it were a cute thing. In real OCD patients, there is a fear that serious damage will occur if a certain behavior is not performed. It’s not something you can tell by hanging out in a fun or friend chat. For example, if you do not correct an oblique book, you think that something will happen to you, and it will cause you serious anxiety, anxiety and fear, physiological reactions (sweating, tremors, hormone secretion, etc.) trigger is OCD.
2. Schizophrenia
It’s not schizophrenia for a neighbor to call the police last week because you played loud music, and the next week to come and offer you a cake. The fact that people treat you differently is not related to schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a very rare disease and occurs only in 1% of the world, but it causes very serious problems and often significantly lowers living standards. This disease is so misused that it has become used to disrupt and open the air, to change the political balance, to make celebrities prefer to wear strange clothes, and even to lower prices on the stock market! In other words, the name of this disease is used for people and events that seem to have more than one personality. The funny thing is, schizophrenia has nothing to do with personality division! This myth is that the word meaning of schizophrenia is” discrete brain”. But here, the meaning of the word” discrete ” is not that the brain is discrete from itself, but rather discrete from reality. People with schizophrenia can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Therefore, they are disconnected from reality. By its more accurate definition, the thoughts and behaviors of patients with schizophrenia are incompatible with the real situation they are in at that moment.
Schizophrenia patients often have delusions. For example, they tend to think that they are superior. Another common delusion in schizophrenia is exaggerated paranoia and self-incarceration behavior. It is characterized by behavior such as thinking that it is pursuing concepts. Another important symptom of schizophrenia is hallucinations, these are hearing, experiencing, or seeing things that don’t really exist. As we have said, schizophrenics cannot distinguish between what is real and what is not.
In short, the word schizophrenia is not synonymous with the word ‘inconsistent. People with schizophrenia may be inconsistent, but not every inconsistent person is schizophrenic.
3. Crazy
Manic depression (or, in short, manya, maniacal) is an old name for bipolar disorder. It is no longer a word used in psychological definitions, but it is still considered a scientific term. As seen in depression, emotional disorders are observed in bipolar disease. The phenomenon, also known as ‘mood and sometimes described as ‘temperament, is used to determine our long-term emotional state. Describing mood is often quite difficult and highly subjective. But in emotional disorders, a certain emotion is experienced to an extreme degree. This, in turn, results in a difficult control of other emotions and mood in general. For example, in depressive emotional disorders, despair and exhaustion are extremely common, while in bipolar disorder, depression, manicure (excessive happiness) and ‘normal emotions are observed together, and the person commutes between them. These emotional transitions can sometimes occur once a month, sometimes once a week, sometimes even during the day.
Bipolar disorder or insanity does not mean being super energetic and very happy. Similarly, when you have emotional problems because you have been abandoned, it is not to go shopping and have fun to suddenly distract yourself. People’s feelings change, that’s fine. But in bipolar disorder, these emotions are experienced to an extreme degree. For example, when a person is seriously considering suicide, they may want to ride a roller coaster or bungee jump from the top of a building a few hours after that. More importantly, unlike its widespread use among the public, the individual cannot interfere with these feelings.
In this process, the individual’s views, thoughts and perception of himself / herself deviate from reality. During a manic episode, the individual is too superior to himself, too weak, too successful, too unsuccessful, etc. he can see. For example, again, if you normally make $100 because you broke up with your lover, shopping for $300 is not a manic attack. But in an exaggerated sense of happiness, finishing your parents ‘bank account with all their life savings in a few hours is an example of a manic attack. After this exaggerated attack, individuals suddenly fall from the highest peaks of happiness to their lowest dungeons and often face extreme signs of unhappiness, such as suicide. That’s what bipolar disorder is. One day not to be happy, one day not to be unhappy.
4. Psychopathy
Arguably the most popular and most frequently misused words among psychological terms are the words ‘psychopath and ‘psychopathy. So much so that it was even erroneously used in the film Psycho, considered one of Alfred Hitchcock key works of art history. Currently, psychopathy is not a common scientific term. Instead, the word sociopath is preferred. Even more technically, psychopathy or sociopathy is known as ‘antisocial personality disorder. It’s probably one of the most extreme and dangerous psychological problems known. Individuals are not aware that they have such personality disorders. Even if they know it, they think their own is normal and everyone else’s is wrong.
Psychopathy does not mean that your lover does not call you or leaves you out of nowhere. Psychopaths have a lack of conscience. This issue, although interpreted in an arabesque way, does not have conscientious feelings can cause great problems in social relations. Psychopaths do not feel any sadness, problems, discomfort from the negative consequences of any behavior they do to their families, spouses, children, friends and people they are with. Again, it’s not psychopathy when a male leaves a female and makes her cry. It is psychopathy when a man trims his partner as he walks, causes him to fall down the stairs and break his neck, and sees it as a ‘joke, not a problem. It is psychopathy when a person cuts off an old woman’s cane and causes her to fall to the ground in the middle of the road as she crosses the street and enjoys it. When a person’s best friend’s family and children die in a car accident, making fun jokes about how funny it is that they die during a funeral, and not having the slightest idea that what he is doing is not in accordance with social norms, it is psychopathy. In psychopaths, excessive lying, brawling, theft, brute force, violence and manipulation are observed. So being smart and nerdy is not psychopathy or sociopathy.
