Many people often suffer with effects of a behavior disorder and don’t even know it. It can be difficult to tell the difference between “normal” and abnormal feelings. The behavioral category contains thousands of disorders, many which share the same symptoms. Some of the most common disorders are: obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder.

In order to fully grasp the range of severity of behavior disorders, we are going to discuss one in light detail. The disorder is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, also known as OCD. Studies show that this is actually a genetic disorder, meaning that it is passed down through family members. OCD is a lot more common than one might believe.

As with any disorder, OCD can be hard to live with at times. A person who suffers with OCD usually deals with repetitive habits every day. OCD can range greatly in the severity of a case. For example, a less-intense case could be a person who has to have every picture, nik-nak, and piece of furniture in the house set at a certain angle or position. One might just assume they are a very tidy person. However, a sever case has more of a life-altering result, in which the person feels they have to control every aspect of the day to run at a strict routine, and when one piece of this routine becomes altered, that person may simply remain in their home the rest of the day, sometimes in severe panic.

The problem with OCD tends to be the repetitiveness of the routine in which one is performing, not the action on its own. Sometimes medication can help suppress the overwhelming need to perform a repetitive action, such as twisting a lock a certain number of times, however therapy tend to be most effective.

While the signs of behavior disorders can greatly vary, it is the abundance of symptoms which overlap into other disorders which makes it difficult to diagnose a person. Do seek confirmation if you believe you are suffering from a behavioral  disorder.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is just one of the behavior disorders out there. There are also social disorder symptoms that can point to a disorder which restricts a person from normal social interaction, which can be difficult to diagnose. If you feel you suffer any kind of behavior or social disorder, please consult your doctor.

HRB339 is an In-Depth Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine Study (Diagnosis and Treatment) of Bipolar Disorder (Manic-Depression) and Mental Illnesses (Unmad in Ayurvedic Sanskrit), along with examination of related Vata Anxiety Disorders, Pitta Anger Violence Mania, Suicidal Tendencies (Suicide), Kapha Sadness Depression and Melancholy. Comparison – Contrast of Bi-Polar Manic-Depression classical Diagnosis (Assessment), Etiology (Causes), Pathology (Disease Process – Progress) and Treatment (Therapies) in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M. or Traditional Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture) and Ayurveda — both styles Indo-Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu Ayurveda with along with Tibetan Medicine (Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine – T.A.M.).

Course Title is:
“One-Earth Therapeutics – Kaya Chikitsa – Integrated Ayurvedic-Chinese-Western Remedies for Anger (Krodha), Mania, Bipolar, Manic-Depression, Rage according to 200 B.C. Charaka Samhita – Level I”
Course Codes are: HRB339, HRB539, HRB639, HRB739

These Hi-Def HDTV videos and the MP3 audio files are the first in a 1.5 trimester unit (22.5 class hours long) series of lectures aimed and comparing, contrasting and synthesizing Manic Depressive Diagnosis and Bipolar Disorder Treatment in both the 2500 year old Chinese Medicine (Zhong Yi or TCM) with the 2500 year old Indian Ayurveda and 1300 year old Tibetan Ayurveda systems (TAM). The goal of this lecture program is to ist the student in seeing and understanding their vast commonalities in both theory (concepts) and practice (clinic) of ancient Indo-Sino-Tibetan psychological – psychiatric therapies in order to learn integrated practice modalities.

This rarely presented synthesis of the healing wisdom of these three great cultures (China, India and Tibet) will not only compare-contrast the theoretical and practical aspects of psychology – psychiatry within the framework of these two time-honored healing systems, but more importantly, will examine in detail the clinical practice aspects of manic – depressive bi-polar treatment — both herbal connections (Indian, Tibetan and Chinese herbs and minerals) and acupressure (Marmas in Ayurvedic Sanskrit) with acupuncture in the Chinese system.

We examine the mind and mental illness from the perspective of the Ayurvedic three doshas (Tridosha – Vata-Pitta-Kapha) and look at their relationship to major concepts in Chinese Medicine that are often spoken of by acupuncturists to their patients. Some of these relationship comparisons include:
1. Vata Dosha (Space and Air – Wind, Cold, Qi [Prana in Ayurvedic Sanskrit]),

2. Pitta Dosha (Fire and Water – Spleen Qi [Jathar Agni in Sanskrit], Heat, Damp-Heat, Blood [Rakta Dhatu in Sanskrit], and Yang),

3. Kapha Dosha (Water and Earth – Phlegm-Mucous [Ama in Sanskrit], Damp-Cold, Jing Qi [Ojas in Sanskrit] and Yin).
