Mental Abuse And Domestic Violence 3 Kinds Of Crazy Making Behavior

What is crazy making? We hear about it; we stumble upon it; we are subjected to it; and we even do it to others. But what is it? And how do you know it when you see it?

Most often when we use the term “crazy making,” we’re referring to the conduct of someone that does just that-his or her behavior makes you crazy. You know it?s the goofy things that people do that make you “nuts.” Thus, the term “crazy making.”

Did you know there are actually three kinds of crazy making?

Innocent Crazy Making Behavior

Now sometimes this behavior can be one’s innocent human idiosyncrasies, like the way some people squeeze their toothpaste tube. It?s the personal quirks that can be crazy-making to other individuals.

Malicious Psychological Abuse

Or, it can be malicious behaviors intended to confuse you, as in the case of “gas-lighting.” That is telling you something or doing something to make you think things are different from the way you intuitively know them to be.

Abusers are very good at this malicious form of crazy making. It’s as though they enjoy casting doubt amidst your clarity. My patients and newsletter readers frequently tell me how their abusive partners tell them they are crazy at the very time in which they are most sound. Or, they tell them that situations are different from the way they see or know them to be even when they are most certain.

Cruel, Heinous Legal-Psychiatric Abuse

Now there is another form of crazy making that has the exact same intention, but far more serious consequences. If you have read my writing you know what’s coming. It?s the crazy making that is more literal.

It’s the crazy making in which I tell you, you are psychiatrically and certifiably crazy. And to substantiate my allegations, I secure the opinion of an expert crazy diagnostician: a psychologist or psychiatrist. Thus, I officially make you crazy.

Now if you are a domestic violence survivor, who is in combat with an abuser using the healthcare and legal system to discredit or silence you and your victimization, you know this crazy making strategy.

The most important thing you can do for yourself and your children is to make sure you do not step into the crazy shoes because if you do, you will be wearing the crazy hat for the rest of your life.

You can learn how to block legal-psychiatric ploys and stop the crazy making before it defines and devastates you indefinitely.

Helping Handicapped People Through Social Work

We all know that physically and mentally handicapped people require special care. Globally, a number of public and private institution setups take care of the special needs of handicapped people. Providing help to these people is one of the greatest social services that a person can provide. However, people who make this mission in life need to be trained in how to care for handicapped people.

Some people are born handicapped, and others get handicapped later in life. Accidents, wars, natural, and other disasters are the major causes of both physical and mental handicaps. Children, who are born handicapped or get disabilities early in life, need special care to help them adjust to their circumstances. Physical disabilities usually cause mental trauma also and psychiatrists and psychologists who are trained in helping such cases are employed to help them. People learn to live with their physical disabilities, but mental trauma is far more difficult to tackle. Some patients make amazing progress and learn to deal with and get over their mental stress. Others take a much longer period to recover, and yet, others simply give up on life and refuse to progress.

Institutions for handicapped people depend heavily on volunteers to help them in providing this social service. Moreover, a number of physiotherapists, doctors, psychologists provide their services free to help disabled people. Then there are organizations that provide free aid in terms of medication, food, and financial help to run these institutions. Helping the handicapped is far more difficult than helping regular patients in a hospital are. The joy of the staff in these institutions knows no limit when a person with disabilities becomes capable of rejoining the main stream of life.

Sadly enough, in most developing countries, the handicapped people are left to fend for themselves without any help from the state. People also tend to ignore thinking about helping these people. In fact, in all the countries of the world if you ask anyone for information regarding handicapped people, institutions and organizations working in this field, they will be unaware of this.

As human beings, with all our limbs and faculties in tack, we must make an effort to help these people. We should never forget that we ourselves could end up like them. After all, no one can avoid a disaster that’s disdained to happen. Therefore, helping people with handicaps is a duty that all of us need to perform.
