Jealousy is an emotion that immensely troubles the person feeling it. It is accompanied by negative emotions such as rage, distrust, shame and self-doubt; and thus jealousy is often something which we try to surpress and avoid to admit.

For centuries, we have seen examples of different people from different cultures around the world doing evil things to each other. Still to this day, innocent children are killed; a suicide bomber may take hundreds of lives. Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen does not brush over all this by stating “these people are evil”.

We are devastated with one terror attack before we are able to put out the fire of another. Tens of innocent lives are lost again, with that many more injured. Those of us left alive are helpless, shocked, saddened and lost.

Depressive symptoms disappears by eliminating causes or adapting the current situation.

“You are going on a long vacation… The cases are packed, you got in your car... As you start the car, you think "What if I didn't turn all the lights off? Did I leave any windows open?" Does this scenario sound familiar to you? Imagine spending a typical day continuously worrying about such issues and constantly double checking yourself and all you do..."

Studies on the link between checking and memory problems have produced equivocal results regarding a general memory deficit in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and subclinical checkers.

Everyone remembers the scenes from old movies where the lead actor suddenly becomes blind but can later see again. Is it possible to experience this in normal life?

Today, Panic Disorder is the most common psychiatric disorder following depression . Panic Disorder, becoming widespread due to reasons such as the national disasters and economic crises experienced in recent years in our society, has an adverse effect on the social lives of many adults in the modern world.

"Rain Man" is probably one of the most unforgettable movies of one generation who has seen it.
