Whether you’re fat or thin, black or white, yellow or brown, big or small — somehow, in some little way — you might have had thoughts of inferiority. The self-defeating attitude of comparing ourselves with others…the little negative things we tell ourselves only serve to put our own self-image in a bad light. We sometimes tell ourselves that we are not good enough, pretty enough, or smart enough. And when this sense of being less in value compared to others controls our behavior, it can already be considered an inferiority complex.

An inferiority complex or extremely low self esteem is a concept we are all familiar with. Chances are, we know someone or even we ourselves suffer from this complex. People with low self-esteem are more likely to be irritable or aggressive. They may also be more likely to have feelings of resentment, alienation, and suffer depression.

An inferiority complex, in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, is a feeling that one is inferior to others in some way. It is often unconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme antisocial behavior. It is a fomr of psychological and emotional disability that adversely affects a person’s well-being.

The subconscious mind of a man still carries the same feelings of being weak compared to others and that’s why he felt worthless compared to others. The man labeled himself with labels like being weak, inadequate, stupid, or clumsy. These labels accompanied him everywhere and although they were buried deep into his subconscious mind, they took control of his behavior and feelings. He tried to convince himself that he is fine now and that he doesn’t have a reason to feel inferior again but this never worked, his subconscious mind needs much more than this in order to stop making him feel inferior.
Usually rejection by family and friends, or exceedingly high expectations is often the root cause of an inferiority complex. A man’s view of himself is based on the things he or she is being told, the specific situations that a man is experiencing, and the way he or she is treated. Inferiority complex is deeply rooted in the man’s childhood. Children suffering from an inferiority complex isolate themselves from others and become preoccupied with their feelings of inferiority. As they grow up they are unable to face failures and they feel they don’t have what it takes to succeed in life.
Years later, when a child grows up and starts to be more socially adept, opportunities to overcome low self-esteem increase. The once-insecure child can strive to excel in school or in sports. Yet in the back of that child’s mind, those old self-defeating thoughts might still lie dormant and ready to resurface during the next encounter with failure or put-downs from other people.
People who suffer from an inferiority complex can also become obsessed with their weaknesses. They always keep thinking that others are superior to them. They often get nervous while talking to others, especially if the opposite person is talking confidently.
Nature doesn’t believe in similarity. It creates creatures and objects, human beings included, with such unmistakable uniqueness. Even twins are different from each other in so many ways. perhaps the key to overcome the sense of low self-worth is to begin taking stock of our good and unique features or qualities. By developing those qualities, skills, and attributes, we are able to shine and achieve identity and distinction. Indeed, inferiority complex is an irrational and unhealthy condition. Every person on the planet has at least one unique quality that is superior to others. Given that fact, how can one be inferior?

Watching a child struggling with anxiety can be very difficult for parents. Anxiety may begin to mask their perception of their child and convince them that a child can’t do things that he or she really can. Many parents find it helpful to keep track of the child’s accomplishments and abilities so that they don’t begin thinking of their child as anxious and fearful. Instead they can recognize what abilities their child has that might be useful in dealing with anxiety. A little anxiety isnt always a bad thing, but, it can help motivate one to do one’s best and to respond appropriately to danger.

Anxiety, the bodys reaction to a perceived, anticipated or imagined danger or threatening situation, is a common occurrence among children. All children experience anxiety. Anxiety in children is expected and normal at specific times in development. For example, from around 8 months through the preschool years, healthy youngsters may show intense distress anxiety at times of separation from their parents or other persons with whom they are close. Anxious children are often overly tense or uptight. Some may seek a lot of reassurance, and their worries may interfere with activities.

There are different types of child anxiety. One such anxiety disorder very common among them is Generalized Anxiety Disorder GAD. GAD is defined as chronic, excessive worry and fear that seems to have no real cause. Children with GAD often worry a lot about things such as future events, past behaviors, social acceptance, family matters, relationship, their personal abilities, and school performance. Although younger children can show signs of excessive worry, children usually develop GAD at about 12 years old. Studies also revealed that many children with GAD also have other anxiety problems. The most common of which are social anxiety, depression, separation anxiety, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD.

Worrying too much on things before they actually happen or too concerned about friends, school or activities is the most common symptoms of GAD. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. It may also include

constant thoughts and fears about safety of self andor safety of parents

refusing to go to school

frequent stomach aches, headaches, or other physical complaints

muscle aches or tension

sleep disturbance

excessive worry about sleeping away from home

clingy behavior with family members

feeling as though there is a lump in the throat

fatigue

lack of concentration

being easily startled

irritability

inability to relax

Several anxiety medications are available for treating GAD. A few of these medications include Zoloft, Paxil, Xanax, and Prozac. All of these medications are known as SSRI’s, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These medications are all fairly new anti-depressants on the marketplace and they often have very little side effects. When a child takes any of these drugs, he or she may experience overly nervous at first. However, after several weeks the feeling typically moves away. Some side consequences of anti-depressants that children may experience are sleepiness, tiredness, and confusion.

These medications should only be taken in with consultation from a child’s physician. A physician’s decision on what medications to be taken by a child depends on the child’s physical structure chemistry as well as how severe the child’s anxiety is.

Parents should not discount a child’s fears. Aside from the symptoms mentioned above, anxious children may also be quiet, compliant and eager to please, thus their difficulties may be missed. Parents should always be alert to the signs of severe anxiety so they can intervene early to prevent future complications.

Many people, young and old alike, are hooked on the excitement and escape that drugs seem to offer. In spite of its obvious adverse effects, people continue to fall into the trappings of drug abuse and, in so doing, ruin not only their lives but their loved ones as well.
Curiosity have led most people to try and experiment with controlled substances. Some do it out of peer pressure. Others do it to attract attention, to overcome depression and anxiety problems. There are those who experiment with prescription drugs because they think these drugs can help them lose weight or fit in. But we know what happened to the story of the curious cat. It is important that people realize the great risks involved in drug abuse and its detrimental effects on the mental health and life of drug abusers.
Most people have the wrong notion that those who engage in drug abuse are morally weak. That abusers can just stop and change depending on their attitude and willingness. Drug abuse is like a disease that affects the brain which stimulates addiction, making it difficult for the person to stop it by a mere will power.
It’s a good thing that modern medical breakthroughs have now understood the complexity of drug abuse and have come up with treatments and preventions that can help people go back to normal healthy living.
Drugs or medicines are chemicals substances or compounds that are used for the treatment and prevention of diseases and its symptoms. When you swallow a pill or inject drugs into your body, they find their way into your bloodstream and are transported to different parts of your body including the brain. Once it gets to the brain, drugs may either intensify or dull the senses, alter the sense of alertness, and sometimes decrease physical pain.
We all know that drugs or medicines are developed to make us feel better when we are feeling sick. However, most people don’t realize that all drugs may have benefits as well as risks. Drugs may cause unwanted side effects and drug interactions which can vary depending upon the kind of drug taken, how much is taken, how often it is used, how quickly it gets to the brain, and what other drugs, food, or substances are taken at the same time. Side effects can also vary based on the differences in body size, shape, and chemistry.
Although most medicines can cure, slow, or prevent diseases that helps people to lead healthier and happier lives, there are also lots of illegal, harmful drugs that people may take to help them feel good or have a good time.
These drugs that can make you feel good at first, can also do a lot of harm to the body and brain the same way alcohol and tobacco cause serious damage to the human body. Prohibited drugs severely impair a person’s ability to make healthy choices and decisions. People who drink are more likely to get involved in dangerous situations, such as driving under the influence or having unprotected sex.
Some of the more common drugs are amphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, nicotine, marijuana, inhalants, cough syrups and alcohol. These drugs are psychologically addictive. Users who try to stop report that they experience various mood problems such as aggression and anxiety and intense cravings for the drugs.
Most of these drugs, directly or indirectly, target the part of the brain that controls movement, emotion, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. Over stimulation produces euphoric effects in response to the drugs. Such reaction produces a pattern that teaches people to repeat the behavior of abusing drugs.
The reality is that drugs don’t solve any of your problems. They simply hide the feelings of depression and problems. As soon as the effects of the drug wears off, the problems are back again, some may have become worse due to the drug abuse.
