Mental Health: Equal Health

First things first is we must wrestle this false superiority of knowing what is mental health away from the general conversation about it. Five years of Mental and Behavioral Healthcare experience has allowed me to uncover many expert opinions about it, and all such opinions deriving from seemingly enlightened patients. Granted some self-care explanations were on track, but being close to the answers cannot be the standard.
Therefore the philosophical nature of mass expertise is counterproductive and harmful to societies understandings about mental health in general. What then can psychological professionals do to dampen such a kaleidoscope of untrained sufferers diagnosing complicated mental disorders? My suggestion would be to produce a weekly periodical. A digital application on a smart phone with current news in the field. Produced along with a bevy of relatable leaders in the field cast on a short 30 minute weekly video. These non-stoic professionals will raise mental healthcare to the same respectable level as physical healthcare.
Many changes have led mental health to being reconsidered as a crucial opposite to the same coin of physical healthcare. More promotion is required if mental health is to achieve the position of equality it deserves for the benefit of humanity.
Issue 9: Stress Testing: Delay
Part Four
I am led to continue this series, so let’s keep it going. This is a spoiler alert. The one thing that rises up in front of a success being fully into reality is impatience. That alter ego of patience that somehow always manages to be a mudslide or an occurrence of fallen rocks that lays directly in the path of the finish line. Yeah, tell me about it. Why is it that the finish line somehow just has to lie in between two mountains on each side that makes a diversion impossible?
Yes, it happens to me all the time this feeling. I’ve come to expect and honestly welcome it. Why? Because I know when it creeps into my thoughts trying to delay my goals of success, it serves as confirmation! Remember the post I’ve written titled ‘Confirmation Hearing’. Stop being upset as the ‘enemy’ launches an onslaught at you right at the time you’re about to complete a task. That tells you that on that field of ‘battle’ you have outmaneuvered all your doubts and obstacles!
Your success is inevitable if you just ‘swing’, metaphorically, that final killing blow to all the trials and tribulations that have befallen you! Women, did you really believe that standing up for your birthright while reclaiming your status given to you by the ‘Creator’ would go across easy to men? Did you?
In Genesis, God didn’t create you in front of the man nor did he ask the ‘man’ for advice on what to put into the mix of what a woman should be did he? Did he? This Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker is amusing. Read his words slowly. This is why I just said to read his words slowly. Reading things in the past, to include the Holy Bible, at a brisk or even a fast pace, left a ‘lot’ to be desired to my understanding of the texts. It is necessary for me to reveal I read everything at a much more slower and thus more comprehensive pace. This has enhanced and elevated my understanding and knowledge.
That kicker is expressing what he believes the role of his ‘woman’ his wife is. Notice I said, what he believes the role of his ‘wife’ is. Did he ever expound in his ‘outburst’ what his role as a ‘man’ is in his marriage? Did he ever say that the ‘Holy Bible’ says ‘one’ flesh is what you become when taken in marriage. Did that kicker say he respects his wife? He just said what he knows his wife thinks. Huh, that’s funny. I thought a ‘help meet’ brings to bear what her role in the ‘structure’ of marriage is as mandated by God. I didn’t know a ‘wife’ was simply a specialized ‘tool’ that only serves one specific purpose.
This is the ‘DELAY’ women that amounts to a rockslide, mudslide or a tornado flinging in your path all ‘matter’ that was unfortunate to be in ‘her’ way. Expect it! Dam it as a tell! Embrace it for in it lies the truth. Your ‘enemy’ sees his defeat is assured! Swing that final blow and reclaim your rights!
It cannot be delayed any longer. The ‘only’ (linger on ‘only’ for minute) path is through!
