Quote by Richard von Krafft-Ebing

“Almost every masturbator at last reaches a point where, frightened on learning the results of the vice, or on experiencing them (neurasthenia), or led by example or seduction to the opposite sex, he wishes to free himself of the vice and re-instate his sexual life.”

“It is estimated that the financial burden of mental illness worldwide will reach $16 trillion by 2030. The World Health Organization reports that over 300 million people suffer from depression alone, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. That projection is not only disturbing but emphasizes the need to seek disruptive, innovative approaches to psychiatric disease. Mobilehealth can help fill these needs for at least two reasons: given the number of available mental health professionals, it is virtually impossible for all those in need of those services to be cared for face-to-face, a dilemma that is especially acute in low and middle-income countries. And there is also some evidence to suggest that many patients are more willing to open up about their psychological concerns online during an anonymous consultation.”

“To be in Dao is to primarily exist in the fertile expanse where time stands still. Time loses meaning because primary identity shifts into alignment with the timeless principle itself. Distance in space loses felt degrees of separation, because of deep interconnectivity in its undifferentiated formless state. Death loses significance because it is perceived and experienced as another transformation of the Dao. Anxiety from change dissipates, as it is simply seen as part of Dao’s process of equilibrium. The intolerance of uncertainty fades, as it gives way to the adventure of potential and possibility. It is, in essence, alongside chance, the requirement for freedom. The Dao is self-generating, meaning it is root and branch. It is complete fulfillment, so temptations surrender their grasp to Dao’s quiescence. In a sense, to be with Dao is to favor loss over gain.”

“There is no specific test for multiple sclerosis. Its early symptoms - fatigue, loss of sensation, weakness and visual changes - are frequently misdiagnosed as psychoneurosis or an even more severe psychiatric disorder, such as hysteria, particularly in women. When doctors could find no organic cause for [Jacqueline Du Pré's] complaints, they prescribed a year's rest, and referred her to a psychiatrist... When she consulted a doctor in Australia about her tenacious fatigue and occasional double vision in her right eye, he dismissed her symptoms as "adolescent trauma" and suggested she take up a relaxing hobby.”
