(END OF BOOK) Neurocognitive Disorder - schizophrenia was a word invented in 1912
HEARING THE WORD SCHIZOPHRENIA ATTACHED TO A LOVED ONE
A neuron (pronounced /ˈnjʊərɒn/ N(Y)OOR-on, also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. A number of specialized types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal cord and brain. Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord and cause muscle contractions and affect glands. Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord.
A typical neuron possesses a cell body (often called the soma), dendrites, and an axon. Dendrites are filaments that arise from the cell body, often extending for hundreds of micrometres and branching multiple times, giving rise to a complex "dendritic tree". An axon is a special cellular filament that arises from the cell body at a site called the axon hillock and travels for a distance, as far as 1 m in humans or even more in other species. The cell body of a neuron frequently gives rise to multiple dendrites, but never to more than one axon, although the axon may branch hundreds of times before it terminates. At the majority of synapses, signals are sent from the axon of one neuron to a dendrite of another. There are, however, many exceptions to these rules: neurons that lack dendrites, neurons that have no axon, synapses that connect an axon to another axon or a dendrite to another dendrite, etc.
All neurons are electrically excitable, maintaining voltage gradients across their membranes by means of metabolically driven ion pumps, which combine with ion channels embedded in the membrane to generate intracellular-versus-extracellular concentration differences of ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium. Changes in the cross-membrane voltage can alter the function of voltage-dependent ion channels. If the voltage changes by a large enough amount, an all-or-none electrochemical pulse called an action potential is generated, which travels rapidly along the cell's axon, and activates synaptic connections with other cells when it arrives.
Neurons of the adult brain do not generally undergo cell division, and usually cannot be replaced after being lost, although there are a few known exceptions. In most cases they are generated by special types of stem cells, although astrocytes (a type of glial cell) have been observed to turn into neurons as they are sometimes pluripotent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurons
If there is something I can point my finger at that causes me mental stress,
it is the childish word SCHIZOPHRENIA.
ITS NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE PSYCHIATRISTS
I JUST DISLIKE THEIR WORD SCHIZOPHRENIA
A psychiatrist is an adult that has spends years focused gaining information and knowledge on the word schizophrenia. Textbooks, manuals, dictionaries, etc., have the word SCHIZOPHRENIA printed within them. I sincerely doubt they will trash all that paper and have everyone learn a new word.
But as another adult wearing human flesh like a psychiatrist, when I watch someone I love swallow pharmaceuticals, those chemicals are headed to a place within their physical bodies and they are not directed to run and jump in a MIND THAT IS SPLIT like the Grand Canyon is split. The admonishment is to be childlike not childish and I keep returning to my conclusion that the word schizophrenia is childish. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but schizo is a word used to insult in the world outside the doors of a hospital.
With the credentials of an adult human, it is my real opinion that the above picture should be hung in a large size and placed in an area where both patients and visitors can have VISUAL awareness of the complexity faced when even thinking about the cell structure of a NEURON. I have met far to many young adults when I have been a visitor that are patients because they had not been taking their meds.
I have absolutely no attraction to the job taken on by a person choosing to study psychiatry. I have taken chemistry in high school and did well, but as far as prescribing pharmaceuticals in connection to cells such as a neuron with chemical electrical activity, it is not my proverbial cup of tea. I have listened to other parents now for over 15 years and my last experience was just several months ago. So, so many talk about their adult children's medications like those prescriptions belonged to the parent. They knew the names and doses and times for ingestion. I just personally have never been called into a psychiatrists office for consultation on drug choices or dosages. I have personally chosen to refer to medication as HIS MED CASE. My own MED CASE routine reinforces that those meds are HIS and not his parent's and is another topic. Codependent is a word that was birthed in 1983, and a word I wish that had been around earlier.
In 1994 a psychiatrist made his diagnosis and handed this mother the word schizophrenia attached to my son. My own personal opinions in regard to that childish word made absolutely no difference. Rather, by 1995 I began referring to my son's diagnosis as:
A disorder affecting the very delicate chemical balance in his brain, and the brain is the primary organ within our central nervous system.Longer sentence and takes more air to spit out, but at least it carries information to the ears of another human that hears it. I do not chose to speak the word schizophrenia on any consistent basis, and that is my choice and a choice based upon the best interest of a loved one. This is one serious disorder of our central nervous system and statistics relating to result of the symptom named suicidal ideation could easily be pulled off the internet right now. If this mother does not have the eyes to see the the complexity of pharmaceutical intervention in the activity of neurons, how can I expect humans around me to learn and gain information as to the seriousness of a psychiatric ward. It is not a joke.
I had a son with a wrist bracelet similar to the ones put on wandering Alzheimer patients to buzz the nurses station if he got too close to doors. It was the winter of 1996-97 and I falsely assumed my son was safe in the hospital for a med adjustment on a very cold night. I got a knock on my door and my 6'4" son was standing there with a short sleeve shirt and no coat with snow all over him. He had a smile and said, "Mom, I wanted to come home" and came in totally oblivious to the cold and having walked over 10 blocks from the hospital. I wrapped him in blanket to try to warm him up and called the nurses station. I actually argued with them when they said I was wrong, "he's in his room". I responded, I am his mother, I know my son and it him sitting here with me. That same winter a young man close to his age with the same diagnoses was found dead due to exposure. His body had been found outside and he had froze to death. Sensitivity to hot and cold is a function of our CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
This is a disorder carrying the real capacity to KILL. I could die before the morning and tonight I know that my son realizes the importance of HIS MED CASE. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 2007 taking one class at a time, living independently and saving money to pay tuition and book costs from a very small Social Security Disability check. This is my son that a doctor in Denver in 2002 said had rated a 10 of having the most severe symptoms of schizophrenia. This doctor referred to him as a MIRACLE in 2002 saying most with that score would be facing institutionalization for the rest of their lives.
I do not play games with the word schizophrenia.

BINARY WORD SYMBOLS vs. duality
Demonstrates ideas in BINARY
Physics 'law of attraction' remember also
DUALITY HAS BECOME A TIRED WORD
Theology books abound focused upon the English word DUALITY. It has served its purpose and time for retirement. The on/off of electricity is called BINARY and this is a word much more applicable with light switches in our homes and computers on our desks.
The electrical chemical activity in our Central Nervous System provides us understanding of our being that in the past humans had so much difficulty in attempting to put into words. Our English word ATOM came from ancient Sanskrit, and a language that did not have to travel through the history of Europe. This word entered our English language in a form that accommodates scientists to get their heads around. The word duality just isn't cutting it. The on/off component of electricity and then you add in electromagnetism, we have some neat nifty words in this age!
That box that is sitting there with a computer screen provides an example of IMITATION. However, there is NOT the electrical/chemical component of our TREE-LIKE neuron cell found in our central nervous system.
LOGOGRAM: Circle MIND ... SEEN AND UNSEEN FORM .. AN ANCIENT PATH OF THE SEER
English term: MIND A FORCE that takes you into physics TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THAT WORD
YOU AND ME AND ALL HUMANITY
underneath your physical clothing of flesh
(SEERS saw the small with that important first word spoken)
This symbol was still without other mental attachments that you created at so young an age providing the adult term creativity that has not been lost relating to children. A logogram takes one into the electrical/chemical realm of the neurons within our own central nervous system. This is a type of LANGUAGE the human brain cannot learn to read and write.
THERE IS BOTH SEEN FORM AND UNSEEN FORM
Initiation in to the ream of the BINARY
YOU WALKED THROUGH THIS INITIATION WHEN YOU SPOKE YOUR FIRST WORD
In other cultures a newborne was protected by adults until this so important first word was spoken
Ours is a culture that does NOT HONOR children
Our culture is severely lacking Seers
to validate other human's unseen form given the English word MIND
SENSORY INPUT: My personal interest in Studying Physics as a unusal hobby (I've always admitted I'm a wee bit strange)
PHYSICAL BODIES (an enclosed system)
CONCRETE THINKING
Senses are the physiological capacities within organisms that provide inputs for perception. The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive psychology (or cognitive science), and philosophy of perception. The nervous system has a specific sensory system or organ, dedicated to each sense.

UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF THE WORD IDEA WITH IT'S ATTACHMENT TO A MENTAL SYMBOL USED IN THE ELECTROCHEMICAL ACTIVITY OF OUR BRAIN
my brain would still attach it to the IDEA of a structure with people living in it
WINDOW is a 6-letter word with SYMBOLIC FLAVOR, and also a great deal of mental associations attached to this English word in my own mind with its brain accommodating. The MIND-BRAIN interactions of two ENERGY systems standing outside the sight of human's optic nerves. The above picture taken in March of 2008 during the remodeling of my over 80 year old now one-bedroom home that I designed especially for me. I have a large window in my living room, and 3 sliding glass doors and a window over my sink in this small 700 sq. foot structure that functions to protect and nurture me.
IDEAS attached to SYMBOLS in their outer world
NURTURE AND PROTECTION
(A long time ago these were stored in the ideas attached to mother and father)
These VERY crucial IDEAS for you as an adult could have been initiated during this stage of concrete cognition
IDEA - a simple 4 letter word but libraries have been written about this word
Ideas
- idea
- early 15c., "figure, image, symbol," from L. idea "idea," and in Platonic philosophy "archetype," from Gk. idea "ideal prototype," lit. "look, form," from idein "to see," from PIE *wid-es-ya-, suffixed form of base *weid- "to see" (see vision). Sense of "result of thinking" first recorded 1640s.
Identifying fantasies and separating them outer environment received by input given us by our sense receptors within the Central Nervous System where in the brain is an enclosed system.
CONCRETE THINKING : CREATIVITY OF CHILDHOOD
FORCE OF CREATIVITY - THINK ELECTRICAL CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION in your body
CONCRETE THINKING: CONNECTING IDEAS
Using your crayons you were demonstrating to others your fine motor skills as a child
THOSE PICTURE WERE SYMBOLS OF YOUR IDEAS
Your IDEAS living in your own inner world could not be seen by others.
When you drew a picture of a person with your crayon
YOU BRAIN WAS SO BUSYING CONNECTING IDEAS
Adults may had names for those ideas but to you they were IDEAS that was like a FORCE within you
Others could only GUESS and could be wrong about what ideas you were taking from your mind and then expressing them out into the outer world by using your fine motor skills
ABSTRACT THINKING DRAWS PICTURES ... you were connecting different IDEAS in your stick people - that is CREATIVITY
A picture that EVERY PSCHYIATRIC WARD NEEDS IN A VERY VISIBLE PLACE FOR PATIENTS
ENCLOSED SYSTEM a vital IDEA in understanding your own response of STRESS
A SYMBOL: CIRCLE
We each made a place for the IDEA of closed systems to ATTACH within the closed system of our brain.
The brain is a closed system within our CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM another CLOSED SYSTEM.
When we learned how to draw a simple circle during the CONCRETE thinking stage of our brain's development we were busying making an ACCOMMODATION in our brain for IDEAS to be attached when we birthed ABSTRACT THINKING around the times of our puberty.
Our brain ATTACHES IDEAS to SYMBOLS and NOT TO SPECIFIC WORDS!
Our brain's unique cells called NEURONS disclose the IDEA of the word ATTACH within the brain
