Highlights of this issue

Kimberlie Dean Rates of involuntary in-patient treatment
Rates of involuntary psychiatric in-patient treatment are known to vary across settings and over time. Keown et al (pp. 157–161) conducted an ecological study to investigate the impact of sociodemographic factors such as age, ethnicity and deprivation on rates in urban and rural settings in England in 2010/11. Compulsory in-patient treatment rates were found to be higher in urban areas and were associated with ethnic density. Areas with higher levels of deprivation had higher rates of in-patient treatment while areas with a higher proportion of adults aged 20–39 years had higher rates of compulsion. In a linked editorial, Burns & Rugksa (pp. 97–98) welcome the ecological approach taken to the research and comment on the way in which research in the field has developed from simple descriptive studies of admission rates to explorat ions of the complexity underlying their patterns. The authors highlight the importance of considering both area-level and individual factors. In a related short report by Petros et al (pp. 169–170), the impact of childhood trauma on psychosis relapse requiring hospital admission is considered. The report reviews the findings of seven studies and concludes that there is a lack of consensus with regard to this potential association.
In another editorial in the BJPsych this month, the ethical issues central to understanding the implications of compulsory treatment rates are considered by Lepping et al (pp. 95–96). The authors argue that autonomy should not be considered to have automatic priority over other ethical values such as beneficence, non-maleficence and justice.
Rates and predictors of mortality among people with mental illness
Four papers in the BJPsych this month focus on factors associated with mortality – mortality in relation to depression, parenting style in childhood and bipolar disorder. Holwerda et al (pp. 127–134) explored loneliness and depression in later life together in order to assess their potential joint effect on mortality. After 19 years of follow-up in a Dutch sample of individuals aged 55–85 years, both factors were found to be associated with excess mortality in bivariate but not multivariate analyses. Severe depression was also found to have an impact on mortality in men who were also lonely, a result the authors describe as a 'lethal combination'. In another study of depression and mortality, Nefs et al (pp. 142–149) studied the impact of individual symptoms and potential mechanisms in a sample of people with type 2 diabetes. Anhedonia (b ut not dysphoria or anxiety) was found to be associated with mortality, and physical activity was revealed to be a potential mediator of the former effect. The authors argue that while studies of treatments for depression have so far failed to demonstrate a subsequent benefit on mortality risk, considering the role of individual symptoms and their associated mechanisms may represent a more fruitful approach.
Parenting style is known to have an impact on offspring health and well-being in early life, leading Demakakos et al (pp. 135–141) to examine the later impact on mortality risk at older ages. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, a graded inverse relationship between parenting style and mortality was identified even after adjustment for age, gender and a range of potential covariates. The authors also highlight a finding that parenting style was specifically associated with cancer mortality, but not cardiovascular mortality, and call for their novel findings to be replicated in other samples. In a study of outcomes for older men with bipolar disorder, Almeida et al (pp. 121–126) found evidence of an increased risk of both dementia and mortality. The authors comment on the potential for mechanisms underlying these associations to be amenable to inte rvention and thus to have relevance for preventive strategies.
Overlap between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
Encouraged by the accumulating evidence of shared genetic and environmental factors contributing to the development of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Reininghaus et al (pp. 107–113) present the results of an evaluation of a transdiagnostic psychosis dimension encompassing features of both disorders. Using multidimensional item-response modelling of OPCRIT symptom ratings, the authors identified one transdiagnostic dimension and five specific dimensions, providing the best model fit. They also found evidence to support the diagnostic utility of the dimensions identified with respect to predicting categorical diagnoses.
Interestingly, another paper in the BJPsych this month presents evidence for a genetic factor that was differentially associated with schizophrenia but not bipolar disorder – VRK2 gene expression levels (Tesli et al, pp. 114–120). In an editorial also focused on schizophrenia genetics, Curtis (pp. 93–94) comments on the implications of recent findings that, for the first time, identify specific coding variations directly affecting schizophrenia risk. Two genes have been implicated – one, a common variation in C4 which codes for complement component 4 and has been shown to have a modest effect on risk, and two, rare disruptive mutations of SETD1A coding for a histone methylase which has been shown to have a large impact on risk.

E X I S T E N Ț A ca S P O R T

Sportul este o reducție, o ingustare benefică, predominant corporală cu respectarea regulilor convenționale a unor jocuri. Presupune sănătate, tinerețe ,performanță, formare, antrenament și determinarea (voința ) de a învinge sau calmul de a suporta înfrângerea, a supraviețui sau ca excepție pentru a te imbogăți. Psihologia se subordonează (ca și medicina). Forța, caracterul, rezistența, voința și inteligența dau prioritate jocului și neglijează cultura, blândețea, umanismul. Ți-e indiferentă restul lumii, care totuși merge mai departe și progresează tehnologia cea mai scumpă pe care să-ți dai banii. Ești bine, puternic, ești iubit de fani, de femei, ai glorie, ești cineva, ai un complex de vedetă , de superioritate. Durează câțiva ani, apoi trăiești din gloria de altadată, (uneori după o săritură performantă trăiești toată viața) în admirație și respect. Desigur sunt și declinuri mai modeste sau chiar amărâte în ignoranță și mizerie.

În esență sportul e luptă, e meci, e război, implica contactul violent, ura, sălbăticia, agresivitatea, paranoia superioritate-inferioritate, un manageriat cu mulți profitori, cumpanite în professionalism, și pasiuni dezlănțuite ale fanilor cu rasism delirant și antisocial.

Uneori pune în joc sufletul națiunii cu iluzii comparative.

Acum există și extrapolarea sportuli ca și în competițiile intelectuale, dar cu răsunet mult mai mic și cu beneficii relativ modeste. Ce a câștigat Einstein față de Rolando!

Sportul domină și cultura: Hagi joacă , Regale e pe bancă!

Știți cine e sponsorul principal: TV, adică noi. E seară ! E match. Dormiți?

Dacă poți face o altă meserie , rămâi și cu sportul amator și comentator critic la arbitrii si manageri, dar în nici un caz să nu faci nimic și să fii dependent social!

Teoria universala a iubirii

Scrisoarea lui Albert Enstein catre fiica sa: Despre teoria universala a iubirii

La finele anilor 80, Lieserl, fiica faimosului geniu, a donat 1,400 de scrisori redactate de către Albert Einstein, Universității Ebraice din Ierusalim, cu mențiunea de a nu fi publicata decat dupa minim doua decenii de la moartea tatălui său. Cea de mai jos este una dintre ele, destinata fiicei sale, Lieserl Einstein.

" Când am propus teoria relativitatii, foarte putini oameni m-au inteles, iar ceea ce urmeaza sa destăinui umanității acum, se va ciocni de neintelegerea si prejudecățile din aceasta lume.

Te rog sa păstrezi aceste scrisori atat timp cat este necesar, ani, decenii, pana cand societatea este suficient de avansata pentru a accepta ceea ce voi explica mai jos.

Exista o forta extrem de puternica, pentru care, cel putin pana in prezent, știința nu a găsit o explicație formala. Este forta care include si guvernează totul, este chiar in spatele oricărui fenomen care are loc in univers si inca nu a fost identificata de noi. Aceasta forța universala este IUBIREA.

Cand cercetătorii au investigat o teorie unificata a universului, au uitat cea mai puternica forta nevăzuta. Iubirea este Lumina, care ii lumineaza pe cei ce o oferă si o primesc. Iubirea este gravitatie, deoarece ii face pe unii oameni sa se simta atrasi de altii. Iubirea e putere, deoarece multiplica tot ce avem mai bun si ofera umanitatii sansa de a nu pieri in propriul egoism orb. Iubirea expune si reveleaza. Pentru iubire noi traim si murim. Iubirea e Dumnezeu si Dumnezeu este Iubire.

Aceasta forta explica totul si ofera sens vietii. Aceasta este variabila pe care am ignorat-o de prea mult timp, poate pentru ca ne este frica de iubire deoarece este singura energie din univers pe care fiinta umana nu a invatat sa o controleze dupa vointa sa.

Pentru a evidentia iubirea, am creat o simpla substituire in cea mai faimoasa ecuatie de-a mea. Daca in loc de E=mc2, acceptam ca energia pentru a vindeca intreaga lume poate fi obtinuta din multiplicarea iubirii cu viteza luminii la patrat, atunci ajungem la concluzia ca iubirea este cea mai puternica forta ce exista, deoarece nu are nici o limita.

Dupa esecul umanitatii in a utiliza si controla celelalte forte din univers, care pana la urma s-au intors impotriva noastra, este imperios sa ne hranim pe noi insine cu o alta forma de energie…

Daca vrem ca speciile noastre sa supravietuiasca, daca vrem sa descoperim sensul vietii, daca vrem sa salvam lumea si fiecare fiinta constienta ce traieste, atunci iubirea este unicul raspuns.

Probabil nu suntem inca pregatiti sa cream o bomba a iubirii, un mecanism destul de puternic pentru a distruge ura, egoismul si lacomia care devasteaza planeta.

Cu toate acestea, fiecare individ poarta cu sine un mic, dar puternic generator de iubire, a carui energie asteapta sa fie eliberata.

Cand o sa invatam sa oferim si sa primim aceasta energie universala, draga Lieserl, vom putea afirma ca iubirea invinge tot, ca poate transcende totul si orice, deoarece iubirea este chintesenta vietii.

Regret profund ca nu am fost capabil sa exprim ceea ce este in inima mea, care a batut in liniste pentru tine intreaga mea viata. Poate e prea tarziu pentru scuze, dar cum timpul e relativ, simt nevoia sa iti impartasesc ca Te Iubesc si datorita tie am ajuns la raspunsul suprem!

Tatal tau,
Albert Einstein"

T R E N D

     Tensiunea sexuala s-a manifestat in cursul istoriei ca dominarea patriarhatului sau a matriarhatului, desi conditia genezei este aceeasi: unitatea celor doua sexe.

     In epoca contemporana asisitam la un fenomen curios: pervertirea sexelor. Feminismul se exprima nu atat prin matriarhat cat printr-un, new trend (tendinta) catre android. Femeile se drapeaza in barbati (dezodorizati)  si vor sa conduca (sunt manager). Poarta pantaloni, parul scurt, joaca fotbal, bat pe toata lumea, una doua divorteaza:  barbatul se feminizeaza, sta acasa, creste copii, gospodareste, acompaniaza sefa in vacante, devine pasiv si sexual, este invins in divorturi;  pe cand ele impart dreptatea, fac sex dupa capul lor, vor orgasm durabil,  sunt supermame care condamna cadrele didactice sau medicale, conduc masini si chiar si state. Ele vor. Ei sunt parapsihologi, comunica la distanta; ele sunt astrologe si stiu cum sa castigi cand pierzi. Ei bermude, cocalari, ele dive, supermini cu barba! Genurile se supersubstimeaza, se razboiesc, ameninta cu retragere homo, dispun de confidente critice iar ei fug in jocuri, dependente sau sex comercial, fara roman. In muzica usoara, ei stau in cap (hip – hop), ele devin sumar imbracate si tipa "Am nevoie de tine". Desigur carduri separate tutelate de banci offshore, avioane, mode, Prêt a Porter, parfumuri de 3 cifre, menopauza hormonizata, facebookuri frapante si filozoafe cu  citate masculine, ei au lookuri pectorale si promit o zdrobire fizica, transpiratie cu adrenalina si dispnee de efort bilateral. Sexul, nu onanie prea clasica, se poarta oralul , sau mai scump raportul cinic necauciucat. Ei au boala somnului , ele fantasme afro-orientale apropriate . Tot razboiul sfarseste  la Bellu prin transferuri de cavouri sau retrageri fermiere periSnagov cu barci ultrasonice sau vile. La nevoie sunt abonate la biserici si manastiri, ei sunt brokeri profetici. Falsul se generalizeaza, cine mai vine sigur e postasul cu pensia. Shopurile ofera orice, minus gustul de altadata.Psihologii someaza, psihitria se expandeaza  transformand tragic comedia umana  in noi tipuri android marete si frustrate.

Materialul e proaspat si il asteapta pe…Shakspeare! Mobilurile sunt saturate de "te iub".
