Understanding Youth Violence - Part 1

Next articles: ANXIETY - Olive experiences constant anxiety regarding her children... What is Abuse - There are many ways to abuse. To love too much is to abuse. It is tantamount to treating someone as an extension, an object, or an instrument of gratification. To be over-protective, not to respect privacy, to be brutally honest, with a sadistic sense of humour, or consistently tactless – is to abuse. The Myth of Mental Illness - Descriptive criteria aside, what is the essence of mental disorders? Are they merely physiological disorders of the brain, or, more precisely of its chemistry?
