Churning or Dredging of Deep Powerful Emotionally Charged Creative Subconscious Urges by a Need to Share on Social Media may Aggravate Mental Health Disorders.
By Mark W. Gaffney
During modern times new telecommunications internet technology provides powerful tools that enable the human race to be more interconnected. The renown philosopher, Rene Descartes, stated “I think, therefore I am”.
A need to share, feel connected, and socially accepted are powerful psychological urges. The need to share ones insights is also a powerful creative urge.
An article published by the media organization Educate Inspire and Change entitled, Are Mood Disorders Price We Pay for High Intelligence-Creativity: Scientists say Yes, links creativity with mental health issues. The Educate Inspire and Change article entitled, Are Mood Disorders Price We Pay for High Intelligence-Creativity: Scientists say Yes, can also be found on Facebook.
A powerful need to share and feel connected can potentially become a psychological driving force or motivation to climb to the pinnacle of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchical chart of self actualization.
An article entitled, The Theory of Self Actualization: Mental Illness, Creativity, and Art, written by Ann Olsen, Psy.D., and published by Psychology Today provides a discussion about self actualization as related to mental illness.
Social media contributes to a churning or dredging of deep powerful emotionally charged creative urges buried deep within the subconscious human psyche. A need to share on social media may aggravate mental health disorders by churning or dredging of deep powerful emotionally charged creative subconscious urges.
An assertion that social media may aggravate mental health disorders by dredging up powerful subconscious urges to create makes ideas outlined in the Scientific American article entitled, Mental Illness is Far More Common than We Knew, more alarming.
A student enrolled in an Abnormal Psychology class learns that abnormality is not a discreet variable, but instead abnormality is on a continuous scale. The Scientific American article entitled, Mental Illness is Far More Common than We Knew, discuss prevalence of mental illness as a consequence of abnormality scored on a continuous scale.
Is the internet and social media the proper place to find unconditional positive regard, love, and acceptance? Carl Rogers is a Neo psychoanalytical psychologist who devised clinical therapeutic treatment for clients based upon providing unconditional positive regard and acceptance.
Social media and the internet may not be the proper place to find unconditional positive regard, love, and acceptance given we live in an intensely competitive society that tends to alienate and marginalize people as a strategy to maintain a tactical competitive advantage.
People who are alienated and marginalized as a strategy by various social groups to maintain a tactical competitive advantage are referred to as disenfranchised. Capitalism is a highly competitive environment that involves a practice of targeting people as consumers or customers, instead of recognizing value of contributions.
People with mental health issues who have a deep subconscious urge to create, connect, and share can become angry when they are targeted as end-game customers. People with mental health issues who have a deep subconscious urge to create, connect, and share oftentimes are extremely frustrated when society does not recognize their creative contributions.
Oftentimes people who suffer from personality disorders such as neurotic introversion, depression, bipolar disorder, etc. have cognitive intellectual challenges that make it more important for them to feel connected by sharing on social media. Neurotic introversion and depression, which are subsets of multiple diagnostic classifications of mental health disorders, often are characterized by slow cognitive processing.
Slow cognitive processing allows an individual to think and ponder philosophically indebt about specific issues. A slow cognitive processing style that allows mentally challenged individuals to think philosophically indebt about various issues also provides heightened levels of creativity.
The entire field of Psychology, as pioneered by William James, is based upon introspection so therefore scientific value in an introspective conscious experience of living life cannot be discounted. The physical universe God created is constantly trying to teach us something new.
As a Psychology major I have spent a lifetime figuring all this out about myself. As an intellectually challenged man, I am one of those people who sit with a blank expression when someone tells a joke at a party to liven things up because the joke goes completely over my head. Oftentimes, jokes in real time social situations go completely over my head because I have very slow cognitive processing.
My inability to be facially expressive in social settings results in my appearing distant and standoffish. My distant, aloof, and standoffish appearance results in sending out the wrong body cues that make everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable within a mile radius.
Awkwardness can be contagious in social settings. In social situations every human being feels a certain degree of discomfort as a consequence of anxiety.
When I was a child in elementary and High school classmates did not know I could talk. During recess I sit slumped over and demure on a wall for 12 years instead of playing like other children.
Neurotic introversion and blank expression is a cognitive strategy of compensation for very slow cognitive processing speeds deployed by mentally challenged people. Introversion, which is essentially withdraw from social situations, is a cognitive strategy of limiting data sets that comprise stimuli from social situations.
Mentally challenged people often have slow cognitive processing speeds that require them to withdraw from social situations as a way to limit overwhelming volumes of data streaming from social situations.
It is a joke for God’s sake. Every subtle nuance in tone and reflection does not have to be immediately dissected and philosophically diagrammed on the spot to abstract meaningfulness of a joke. Oftentimes, light puns do not have much meaning except to challenge individuals in a group to be more present.
The good news is that mentally challenged people who compensate for slow cognitive processing speeds with introversion can increase neuron connections within the brain that facilitate social behavior by willfully choosing to actively engage in social situations. Introverts who willfully choose to engage in social situations as an active participant are changing neuroelectrical circuitry within their brain.
When a person engages in positive constructive behavior that alters neuro electrical circuitry within their brain they grow emotionally and spiritually as human beings.
Since this story involves introspective personal storytelling pertaining to creative sharing on social media as related to education about healthcare reform, I felt compelled to share a personal narrative from an excerpt of an article I wrote entitled, Land of Opportunity for Mentally Challenged People :
As a man who considers himself intellectually challenged I felt compelled to share my story.
Paradoxical, since I may be the only person in history who has flunked an IQ test administered by board certified psychologist. My low scores indicate I may be mildly retarded.
My highest scores were in vocabulary and linguistic reasoning. Psychology staff told me that elevated scores in vocabulary and linguistic reasoning are suggestive of a gifted aptitude. Higher scores in vocabulary and linguistic reasoning brought my aggregate score up to average range.
The general aptitude Intelligence test is elementary compared to the Graduate Record Examination, which is why I decided not to pursue an advanced degree despite earning my Bachelor of Science degree. I have never ever heard anyone speak or write words included on Graduate Record Examination.
Spell checking applications and quick Google access to definitions are incredible tools that supplement and augment my linguistic prowess. I am horrible at spelling. I just love to communicate.
The moral of the story is democracy works best when barriers, blockades, obstacles to personal growth are removed and conditions that facilitate personal growth for intellectually challenged people are promoted. My freelance article entitled, TAO is a Intuitively Understood Mystical Expression of Quantum Physics Operating within the Physical Universe, provides insights into nature of democracy.
My assertion democracy works best when barriers, blockades, obstacles to personal growth are removed and conditions that facilitate personal growth for intellectually challenged people are promoted has significant implications to healthcare reform currently debated in U.S. Senate.
As a freelance writer and political consultant who has a history of intellectual challenges, I applied the art of creative storytelling to educate the public about the quagmire U.S. lawmakers face in the Senate regarding repeal and replace Obamacare.
My freelance article entitled, Mother of all Paradox Revelations Sinks Senate Healthcare Bill, is currently published by USA Politics Today.
My freelance article entitled, Role of Public-Private Partnerships after Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare, is currently published by USA Politics Today.
The application of creative storytelling to educate the public about the legislative process surrounding Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare in the U.S. Senate is a vital necessary undertaking. American citizens are pondering the question, ‘ how is Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare going to effect my life?'.
My freelance article entitled, Mother of all Paradox Revelations Sinks Senate Healthcare Bill, explains why Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare is such an important issue today:
Why is the healthcare issue so important ? During this historical epoch characterized by an accelerated rate of scientific progress and technological returns debate about healthcare has direct implications about intrinsic value of human beings and contributions by individuals over course of a lifetime.
Currently, I am a freelance writer for USA Politics Today. I would like to syndicate my freelance content to other publications.
I have written a number of articles about healthcare reform for USA Politics Today lawmakers may be interested in:
WORDS: Linguistics of Healthcare Reform
The following article provides a valuable service of correcting erroneous public perceptions that the GOP is bent upon a mission to slash healthcare benefits and raise prices of healthcare insurance:
Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare is Not a Campaign to Slash Healthcare Coverage, but Instead a Fiscally Prudent Effort of GOP Conservative Republicans to Manage Powerful Market forces to Control Escalating Prices.
