Understanding and Managing the Mind and Mental Existence from the Inside

     The website is a free public service dealing with individual mental problems, the mind and mental existence. The objective is to demystify the mind and mental existence and to de-stigmatize mental problems. Dealing with individual mental problems through active individual mental engagement, individual mental work and effort, understanding and managing the mind and mental existence from the inside. The objective is to assist, guide and direct the individual dealing with mental problems, understanding and managing the mind and mental existence, establishing and maintaining the necessary internal mental conditions, clarity of mind and understanding.

     The website provides a different approach, view and understanding of the mind, mental existence, mental problems and difficulties. The approach, view and understanding go beyond the traditional approach of psychology and psychiatry. It differs and goes beyond the traditional approach of treatment from the outside by experts and specialists, psychologists and psychiatrists, through psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychiatric medication. Instead, dealing with mental problems and difficulties through active individual mental engagement, individual mental work and effort, understanding and managing the mind and mental existence from the inside.

The approach goes beyond instant relief and treating only symptoms and consequences. It addresses the root-causes and deeper-rooted developments. The approach deals with mental problems, difficulties, demands and challenges when only a minimum in mental work, effort and adjustment are required, and before they develop into larger problems, difficulties and crises, requiring outside help, treatment by experts and specialists. It involves understanding and managing the role and responsibility in the mind and mental existence that by nature are individually ours to understand and manage.

     The approach is discussed and explained under Approach.  It is compared and contrasted with the traditional approach of psychology and psychiatry dealing with mental problems, the mind and mental existence. The differences between the approaches are set out, and the evidence and proof are discussed in the section.
