Trends Endocrinol Metab.  1993 Mar;4(2):62-9. Stress update Adaptation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to chronic stress. Dallman MF . Abstract The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis exhibits a circadian rhythm, activation by stress, and inhibition by corticosteroids. Activity in the HPA axis is very sensitive to inhibition by corticosteroids when they are administered exogenously. When stress-induced corticosteroid secretion occurs, however, normal activity in the HPA is not inhibited and may even be augmented. Experiments in rats have shown that stress also induces facilitation of subsequent activity in the HPA axis that appears to balance the inhibitory effects of corticosterone and thus maintains responsiveness to new, acute stresses in chronically stressed rats. Stress-induced facilitation of HPA axis activity may be mediated by a parallel stress-induced (CRH-dependent) increase in the capacity of brain noradrenergic cell groups to respond to acut...
También el cerebro enferma y es necesario ir al médico, sin que basten tan sólo la voluntad y la disciplina espiritual Por: Orlando Enríquez | Fuente: psicologia cristiana.com  En más de una ocasión escuché que la enfermedad mental es algo que no existe para el cristiano. Así, sin más. Parecieran haberse olvidado los casos de los que Dios nos habla en su Palabra. Como las palabras son nuestras aliadas, pero también evocan cosas muy distintas en quienes las escuchan, aclaremos en lo posible los términos. Me referiré hoy a los trastornos de ansiedad o depresivos, subrayando el matiz médico del término, diferente al uso común en la calle o en muchos medios de comunicación. Observo que aún en nuestros círculos hay una resistencia, por múltiples causas, a aceptar la posibilidad de que también un cristiano tenga dichas alteraciones, y que requiera la ayuda médico-psiquiátrica y psicológica necesarias, viendo todo este arsenal como contrario a la ...

Feelings you may experience with Cancer  Fear It’s frightening to hear you have cancer. Most people cope better when they know what to expect.  Anger You may feel angry with health care professionals, your God, or even yourself if you think you may have contributed to the cancer or a delay in diagnosis.  Disbelief: You may have trouble accepting that you have cancer, especially if you don’t feel sick. It may take time to accept the diagnosis.  Sadness It is natural for a person with cancer to feel sad. If you have continual feelings of sadness, and feel sleepy and unmotivated – talk to your doctor – you may be clinically depressed.  Guilt It is common to look for a cause of cancer. While some people blame themselves, no-one deserves to get cancer. loneliness It’s natural to feel that nobody understands what you’re going through.  You might feel lonely and isolated if your family and friends have trouble dealing with cancer, or if you a...
10 Ways to Catch a Liar Experts have 10 tips that can let you know if someone isn't telling you the whole truth. By  Heather Hatfield WebMD Feature Reviewed by  Louise Chang, MD WebMD Feature Archive J.J. Newberry was a trained federal agent, skilled in the art of deception detection. So when a witness to a shooting sat in front of him and tried to tell him that when she heard gunshots she didn't look, she just ran -- he knew she was lying. How did Newberry reach this conclusion? The answer is by recognizing telltale signs that a person isn't being honest, like inconsistencies in a story, behavior that's different from a person's norm, or too much detail in an explanation. While using these signs to catch a liar takes extensive training and practice, it's no longer only for authorities like Newberry. Now, the average person can become adept at identifying dishonesty, and it's not as hard as you might think. Experts tell WebMD the top ...
16 Questions That Might Tell You Whether You're A Sociopath Psychologists have changed the diagnostic definition of sociopathy several times over the decades. It used to be called being a "psychopath." Sociopath is the newer term. More recently, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition has renamed the condition " Antisocial Personality Disorder " and reduced it to seven main characteristics. However, the first researcher to name the concept of psychopathy was Dr. Hervey Cleckley, who published a book titled "The Mask of Sanity" in 1941, Thomas writes. Cleckley noted that psychopathy was difficult to diagnose precisely because it presents itself without the obvious symptoms of mental disorder. Psychopaths and sociopaths are often a bit  too  rational. In her new book, Thomas says Cleckley's 16 behavioral characteristics hit home. "Nowhere else have I recognized the sociopath inside me more ...
