School Pilot Project to Detect Stress and Depression Amongst Students

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education Malaysia will be jointly launching a pilot project in four secondary schools to identify and address the issue of youths suffering from mental health problems, i.e. stress, depression, etc,  which is currently on the rise.  According to the Health Ministry's National Health Mobility Survey, the number of people seeking medical attention for mental health problems was 10.6% in 1996 but rose to 11.2% in 2006.  And the figure was alarmingly high for those aged 16 and 19 years of age.  Under this project, students will be asked to take a mental health evaluation test to determine if they are facing any mental health problems and the level of the problem they are facing.  The aim of this project is to identify the causes of mental health problems and ways to help these students overcome them.

Psychosis from the viewpoint of a very intelligent and self-aware psychotic

We've studied regressions in hypnosis. We know that as we revisit traumatic events and allow the release of repressed negative energies, healing can take place. We know that the unconscious has possible links to past lives and the collective unconscious.

We also know that in acute psychosis (madness), a person may take off his/her clothes, run around naked and defecate and urinate all over the place, and also potentially can become violent towards other people or self-harm.

But how many of us know that hypnosis and psychosis could be separated by merely just a thin red line - that the two statements above are very connected?

I'm not saying that we hypnotherapists should start treating psychotics.

But the insight from an ex-manic "patient" about his psychotic experience is simply mind blowing. Do check out his youtube video:
