Kissoon’s paranoia and abnormalities

I would like to apply consistency to my highlight of Freddie Kissoon’s paranoia which seems to be related to his exposure to and grooming in a combination of biological, psychological and environmental abnormalities.

Even though I bring to the public’s attention Freddie’s case, I am in no way rejoicing over the ‘unfortunism’ some people become victim to.

I am sensitive to the reality of some human beings whose brains suffer from misuse or dysfunction.

Understanding normal and abnormal behaviors allow us to identify the difference between those who are brilliant against the dullards.

I therefore take this opportunity to share with you the encyclopedic version which highlights interesting aspects of behavioral science.  

Biological factors involved in mental illness?

“Some mental illnesses have been linked to an abnormal balance of special chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other. If these chemicals are out of balance or are not working properly, messages may not make it through the brain correctly, leading to symptoms of mental illness. In addition, defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain have also been linked to some mental conditions.”

Other biological factors that may be involved in the development of mental illness include:

Genetics (heredity), Infections; Brain defects or injury; Prenatal damage; Substance abuse; Other factors.  

Psychological factors that may contribute to mental illness?
Severe psychological trauma suffered as a child, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse

·         An important early loss, such as the loss of a parent

·         Neglect

·         Poor ability to relate to others

Environmental factors that may contribute to mental illness?
Certain stressors can trigger an illness in a person who is susceptible to mental Illness. These stressors include:

·         Death or divorce

·         A dysfunctional family life

·         Living in poverty

·         Feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, or loneliness

·         Changing jobs or schools

·         Social or cultural expectations (For example, a society that associates beauty with thinness can be a factor in the development of eating disorders.)

·         Substance abuse by the person or the person’s parents
