Psychological Disorders are extremely common in human beings. Whilst brief experiences of Depression or Anger are tolerable, longer lasting experiences begin to bog an individual down. Longer lasting symptoms occur due to the inability of the individual to correctly identify the “cause” or “source” of the problem. Moving beyond or transcending the state then is not possible for the person, despite their best efforts. Consequently, the individual experiences even worse symptoms than the initial onset of discomfort.
The access then is to gain an understanding and awareness of ALL the contributing factors that have an individual experience the discomfort. For even with limited understanding, it will not be possible to transcend the state for the individual.
A common problem in people is that they may know that they do not want to experience life the way they are currently experiencing it, but this alone makes no difference. The difference lies in one’s ability to raise their state of awareness and understanding to what motivates them in life, and to enquire rationally into these motives.
This requires taking into account then a broad approach to being human. When this occurs, one may then begin to understand themselves not only from a psychological perspective, but also from anthropological, sociological, ontological, and historical perspectives. This enables an individual to make choices that enhance and enrich the quality of their lives, as opposed to reducing their quality of life.
