There is a notable shift towards more flexible, less traditional interpersonal dynamics, in which people value personal fulfillment over society standards. Today's relationships are more adaptable, digital, and self-centered, emphasizing personal development and emotional freedom above strict structures. These shifts represent a deeper shift in how individuals see love, intimacy, and commitment in the modern era.

Psychological problems are common. People don't always adjust to difficulties in life and relationships very well. They don't always meet their own or others' expectations of how they should function socially. Solutions on offer to psychological problems from mental health services, such as psychotropic medication and talking therapy, may, therefore, seem attractive.

People are being misled about the nature of mental illness. Of course brain abnormalities can cause organic mental illness, such as delirium or dementia. But most presentations of mental health problems are not caused by brain abnormalities. Using depression as an example, people have been encouraged to see depression as a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Biogenic amine hypotheses of depression date back 60 years at this point. Ron Pies and I reviewed a couple of the key papers by Kety, Schildkraut and others that were some of the first to apply what was known about biogenic amine neurotransmitters to depression. These papers were elegantly written, keenly aware of the dangers of biological reductionism, and very clear that much more study needed to be done to either accept or reject the biogenic amine hypotheses.

T his historical record of Oregons first state hospital, the Oregon State Insane Asylum, from its opening in 1883 until the mid-1950s, will focus on the experiences of patients there. This is in contrast with the typical chronological history of who served as superintendent, for how long, the date new buildings were opened and other such changes. The guiding principle for the hospital during these seven decades, whether recognized or not, was Everything About Us Was Without Us.

We are all individuals, formed from different experiences and we often judge our compatibility on how we see our new partner in the early stages of a relationship. In this phase, our incompatibility is hidden by our need to connect and is driven chiefly by hormones (sometimes repetition compulsion)and brain chemical, not common sense.

Darwin shocked the world into a new level of humility when he showed that humans aren’t the center of the world but derived from apes. Well, the wave of humility hasn’t quite finished its washing up the beach. The last barrier is consciousness-centrism. I, too, have been guilty of seeing the mind from the point of view of consciousness. I, too, have caught myself thinking (and writing) of the unconscious mind as different but equal.
