Our Current Psychiatric Paradigm is Inherently Flawed<\/h2>\n

Modern Western Psychology (our entire paradigm of analyzing the \u201cunconscious mind\u201d) is based on the idea that through thinking, analyzing, and understanding, we can treat and cure the disorders of the mind.<\/p>\n

The problem is that most of the disorders that we attempt to treat through thinking and analyzing are arising from that very thing: thinking, and analyzing!<\/span><\/p>\n

The thinking process itself is not inherently a \u201cproblem.\u201d We evolved the ability to think in order to solve problems, plan for the future, and work together more effectively through communication. Thinking is a very useful tool.<\/p>\n

The problem comes when we are not skilled in using that tool. Nuclear power is also a very powerful tool, but if you don\u2019t know how to use it, it can destroy you.<\/p>\n

We untrained humans misuse our minds in many and various ways. We develop unhealthy thought-habits by constantly revisiting thoughts about painful, useless, or counterproductive things. We constantly think about potential problems, and make ourselves neurotic. We constantly think about potential gains, and make ourselves manic. We think too much and burn out our brains, and make ourselves depressed.<\/p>\n

The root cause of the mental problems running rampant in Western Society today is this: we place too much attention on our thoughts.<\/p>\n

I believe that our current Western Psychological Paradigm has actually made this problem much, much worse over the past century.<\/p>\n

Popularized by people like Sigmund Freud, the importance of the \u201cUnconscious Mind\u201d is now common knowledge. Freud & Friends spurred a movement toward \u201cpsychoanalysis,\u201d or \u201canalyzing the mind\u201d in order to dive down into the Unconscious and drag the hidden things back up into the light.<\/p>\n

Psychoanalysis is a process of holding on to particular thoughts, and analyzing them intensely. Freud saw the thoughts arising in the conscious mind as keys to the Unconscious\u2026 threads that could be followed down, down, down into the depths of consciousness.<\/p>\n

This psychoanalytical paradigm has created massive psychic waves in our society by changing the way millions of people look at their minds.<\/p>\n

Freud placed a great deal of importance, and thus a great deal of attention, on a person\u2019s thoughts. He spread the understanding that your thoughts (conscious and unconscious) are responsible for your actions, and are thus, essentially, responsible for \u201cwho you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, our modern paradigm of psychology here in the western world causes people to identify with their thoughts. They see \u201cthemselves\u201d and \u201ctheir thoughts\u201d as inextricably intertwined. Since people tend to place a great deal of importance on themselves, they are now placing greater and greater importance on their thoughts, and giving them a significant amount of their attention.<\/p>\n

Everyone has a limited amount of attention. No one can be focused on everything at once. In the olden days, people focused on the practicalities of life. They focused on things like building houses, growing food, hunting, etc. Their attention rested in the physical world around them.<\/p>\n

Now, however, due to the increasing popularity of the psychoanalytical paradigm and the idea that \u201cyou are your thoughts,\u201d our collective attention is turning more and more inward. Our attention is becoming more and more wrapped up in the thought-world.<\/p>\n

While on the surface this might seem like a good thing, this phenomenon is the root cause of 99% of the mental problems and psychological disorders in our society.<\/p>\n

By turning inward, we live in our own little worlds and distance ourselves from each other. This creates a fundamental sense of selfishness and loneliness, which is currently rampant in our society.<\/p>\n

Aside from the obvious social and relational problems that this causes, putting too much importance (and thus too much attention) on our thoughts creates the following problems within our own minds:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Depression
\n\u2022 Mania
\n\u2022 Anxiety
\n\u2022 ADD \/ ADHD
\n\u2022 Confusion
\n\u2022 Narcissism<\/p>\n

This thought-oriented way of being also creates the following interpersonal problems (among others):<\/p>\n

\u2022 Selfishness (valuing self above others)
\n\u2022 Fear
\n\u2022 Anger
\n\u2022 Hatred
\n\u2022 Violence
\n\u2022 Wars (on a macro scale)<\/p>\n

This list of disorders accounts for more than 80% of the clinically diagnosed psychiatric patients in Europe & North America. All of these people could be cured through the simple act of learning and practicing the art of meditation.<\/p>\n

In order to effectively treat this huge portion of the population, we must make some minor changes to our current model of mental health treatment.<\/p>\n

1. All new Mental Health Professionals should complete at least two semesters of meditation, plus at least one intensive 10-day retreat, before receiving their degrees and licenses. This one single change should create a very powerful paradigm shift in the next generation of psychiatric treatment.<\/p>\n

2. Meditation courses should be prescribed \u2014 before medication \u2014 as the first-line treatment for \u201cthinking\u201d based disorders like depression, mania, anxiety, ADD\/ADHD, and all of the other psychological issues mentioned here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want proof that the Eastern Psychological Paradigm works better than the Western Psychological Paradigm, look at the faces of the central figures.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Were the founders of the western psychological paradigm happy? Are the leaders of the eastern psychological paradigm happy? What do you think their lives were like?
