MENTAL DISORDER

 

 

“I'll make up for it tomorrow” and other phrases that create a toxic relationship with food “Demà compens” i altres frases que generen una relació tòxica amb el menjar. A slice of cake, a tasting menu, or a lavish banquet are often the elements that provoke this phrase, as if eating were a crime and the next day's hunger were a punishment. "There's nothing to compensate for," Azahara Nieto concludes. "In the end, food is neither a reward nor a punishment. So if I ate more today, I can continue with my life, but above all because that generates excessive and restrictive behaviors and generally ends up generating guilt about food." When we subject our body to long periods of hunger, other factors are added to the equation: from thinking about food obsessively to dysmenorrhea (loss of menstruation). Una llesca de pastís, un menú degustació o un banquet fastuós són sovint els elements que provoquen aquesta frase, com si menjar fos un delicte i la gana de l...

 BIPOLAR DISORDER  "Trastorn bipolar" Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by drastic changes in mood. Affected people oscillate between episodes of euphoria and activity (manias) and periods of sadness and despair (depression). This disorder goes beyond the emotional ups and downs that all people can experience: the symptoms are very intense, last weeks or months, have a great impact on the quality of life and can end up putting the life of the affected person at risk. Although it is a chronic disease, it can be controlled with the appropriate treatment, which in many cases allows you to lead a normal life. El trastorn bipolar és una malaltia mental greu que es caracteritza per canvis dràstics en l’estat d’ànim. Les persones afectades oscil·len entre episodis d’eufòria i activitat (manies) i períodes de tristor i desesperança (depressió).

  WHAT IS ANXIETY? "Què és l'ansietat?" Anxiety is an emotion that everyone experiences at some point in the face of certain experiences of life or circumstances of the environment. It appears to deal with a situation that the person perceives as a threat to their safety, or that of their own, and tries to reduce the negative consequences that it can produce. It is, therefore, a natural alarm reaction to the perception of a potential danger or a loss of control over the environment. However, in some cases anxiety can become a disorder. This happens when the affected people experience it excessively intense or frequent, in everyday situations that should not occur, and feel unable to control it. This anxiety interferes in the performance of activities of daily life and decreases the autonomy of the person. L’ansietat o angoixa és una emoció que tothom experimenta alguna vegada davant de determinades experiències de la vida o circumstàncies de l’entorn. Apareix per fer fron...
