Answer 5

According to information-processing model which posits that during psychological distess, a person's thinking becomes more rigid and distorted, judgements become overgeneralized and absolute, and the person's basic beliefs about the self and the world become fixed. For example, there is a morning when I was waken up by a phone call. My emotional is disturbed. No matter what facts came to me it was transformed to a negative thought. From there, common information processing errors found in emotional distress include

a) All or nothing thinking: situation are viewed in "either/or terms". For example, you are either happy or not happy in life. Then you will choose, I am not happy.

b) Jumping to conclusions: justments are rushed. During depression or emotional disturb, we claimed that, "The therapist doesn't help me!". or "No one can understand me!"

c) Mind reading: discending the thoughts of other without any accompanying evidence. For example, "My brother didn't smile at me this morning, so means he is unhappy with me.

d) Labelling: attaching labels to oneself instead of to one's behaviour, " Because I can't cook a nice dinner, this means I am a failure."

e) Emotional reasoning: assuming that feeling are facts. This is proven from the following example, : I feel imcompetent, so it must be true."

We must identify and correct these errors in our thinking facilitates the return of information processing that is more evidence-based, flexible and relative (non-absulute).

The next writting, I will share with you the three level of thinking.

Hope you will be happy and able to control your emotion from now.

Answer 6

Heredity. At least it seems to be a factor because it tends to run in families. I don't think anyone has been able to isolate the genes that cause mental illness, though.

Life circumstances; having a bad situation and being unable to cope with it.

Drug/alcohol abuse.

Head injury or disease that damages the nervous system.
