BPS 1101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Glycogen, Tuberculosis, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Document Summary
*disclaimer* very straight forward, not to be insensitive but trying to be as thorough as possible. We are chemical based machine; our every physical movement, everything we do can be traced down to the molecular level: our brain creates our emotions, personalities, etc. Problems ca arise when organs work incorrectly: can be physical, p. ex: your heart. It"s possible to not produce enough glycogen for the breakdown of sugars: not enough substance, organ in the wrong place, chemical made at the wrong time. The brain is an organ and it is subject to other problems just like other organs (chemical and physical). Mental illness affects your behaviour, causing an extra set of issues for the person that is attained. If brain is not operating properly, people are going to know because their behaviour is changing: this is what causes stigma. a mental illness, we can control our behaviour (p ex: knowing what we did wrong).
