is nostalgia good or bad for one's mental health?

Question

Is the usage of marijuana good for health? I read loads of articles saying they're good, not one mentioned it being bad.

Answer 1

It's how you use it: Nostalgia can inform beneficially, or it can just make you "live in the past". Using what you value from the past to guide your design & construction of a good life now is good. Being bitter, angry, critical, etc of the way things are now is probably bad. I have a strong feeling that you already knew this, right? Learn from the past, protect the future and live in the present in ways that do both.

Answer 2

With Permission: You must first give written consent for such information to be transferred from one physician to another, unless this transfer is done under court order. Your current physician cannot transfer this information unless it is within the context of direct care. The purpose of the request is also important, and you can release only parts of the information as requested.

Answer 3

Only if authorized: Only if you sign an authorization called release of confidential information that allows the holder of your records to whoever you specified on the form. Be aware that insurance companies will have you sign releases to give you coverage. Some exceptions to this are: releases as required or permitted by law such as court orders, and to avoid serious threats to self or others' health or safety.

Answer 4

Incomplete thoughts: Probably you are normal as everyone may have these feelings now and then. If this happens more frequently you may need to obtain medical help.

Answer 5

Need Evaluation: It sounds like you are having some difficulties and concerns related to your ability to think and communicate. There are many possible reasons for this. It would be best for you to start with a good physical evaluation with your primary care physician, in order to evaluate a variety of possible medical causes of these concerns.

Answer 6

See a psychologist. : If it is causing you distress seek the advise of psychologist.

Answer 7

Feelings v. Behavior: If a person feels like being intentionally offensive, nasty; malicious, or violating someone's rights, and acts on these feelings, this is definitely a problem. People behaving this way tend to experience interpersonal conflicts, low satisfaction in life, and possible occupational or legal problems. Besides being morally wrong, exploiting, or violating the rights of others can also be a symptom.

Answer 8

Up to You!: If you see this move as a new opportunity and have the excitement of adventure then you will probably do well. If the reverese is true you may hate it. Bottom line is; it is up to you. So gear your mind to think of all of the positive reasons for this move and minimize the negative; make it exciting and fun.

Answer 9

Only you really know: Moving can be very stressful, even when the move is a desired one. Your response depends on many things. How much do you want to move? Will you have friends or family in the new place? How is your mental health now, before you move? Do you have solid employment in the new place? Is it a climate you prefer? Is there access to the activities you like? Good luck to you, in your new community.

Answer 10

No: A mental health crisis team's job is to evaluate you and determine the right treatment and level of care you need. They are there to ensure your safety and make recommendations based on that. They may recommend a variety of things ranging from psychiatric hospitalization to discharge home with follow up with a/ your psychiatrist.

Answer 11

State's rights: Each state has its own laws governing mental health evaluation during a crisis. Generally speaking the mental health professional and/or crisis team will evaluate the individual for possible harm to self and possible harm to others. Depending on the criteria in the mental health law(s) in your state, if the person meets the criteria, they may be involuntarily committed.

Answer 12

Assessment: The emergency mental health assessment includes an evaluation of whether the patient is in immediate danger of self harm or harm to others. Usually this leads to a recommendation for any needed treatment which the patient and family may accept. In cases of severe threat to self or others, the team does have the ability to put a patient on emergency hold for more careful evaluation (for 72 hrs).
