Strategies for Engineered Maximal Happiness
SENS proposes to be a theory to cure all physical diseases. What should something be called that could theoretically cure all mental diseases? A cool catchy, marketable name is of course needed first. Strategies for Engineered Maximal Happiness... how about that? Please feel free to post other ideas. SEMH for right now. SEMH... good enough for now.
So here is what is up... here is what this is about...
There are various mental diseases....
There are...
MOOD DISORDERS
What would cause a mood disorder? De-moralization? Stressors? Diathesis stress modals...
Suposing it is a combination of stress and genetics...
Theoretically, then, it would seem the key for the "cure" would to _never_ let excessive amounts of stress pressure the human into experiencing the "mental disorder". Would then not political and social change be necessary for excessive amounts of stress to never threaten the individual?
proposed cure...
Theory, brainstorming, and speculation
Perhaps to "cure" all mental disorders, what would be required is a recognition by both mental health professionals and "patients" that much of what can be perceived as mental "disorders" is socially fabricated. An understanding of the nature of the fabrication must be obtained.
Anxiety disorders
The nature of the anxiety will dicate the cure.
PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS
SOMATIFORM DISORDERS
Suicide
More
Where is my pesky DSM????
Perhaps SENS is a requisite for SEMH to work. Certainly missing diseased humans causes mental distress, or at least it can.
