A Journey Into The Brain - Understand the nature of your thoughts

Many of us now take for granted the routine extraction of information about the mind and brain, but it is a fairly recent phenomena. For most of history, the software of the mind was a deep mystery. True, people long suspected that the tissue behind their eyes was somehow responsible for the decisions they made and the emotions they felt. 

Everything we know about the world comes to us through our brain. Yet for each of us our own conscious mental world of thoughts and feelings is isolated and private. Despite several centuries of research on the brain, communication through language or gesture remains the only way we can discover the conscious thoughts and experiences of others.

My Silver Jubilee with LUPUS

Phobia - A type of anxiety disorder

A phobia is an overwhelming and unreasonable fear of an object or situation that poses little real danger. Unlike the brief anxiety most people feel when they give a speech or take a test, a phobia is long-lasting, causes intense physical and psychological reactions, and can affect your ability to function normally at work or in social settings.

Anxiety - Human emotion or Mental disorder

The word anxiety comes from the Latin word anxietas, which means to choke or upset. The symptoms therefore include emotional or behavioral symptoms as well as ways of thinking that are responses to feeling as if one is in danger. Anxiety happens as a normal part of life. It is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences at times.
