Can psychological disorders be prevented?
In order to prevent a psychological disorder one must first understand what constitutes a psychological disorder. A psychological disorder is characterized by subconscious thinking that is not true resulting in negative emotions and behaviour that cannot consciously be controlled. Many humans have subconscious thought patterns that are not true and have psychological disorders. This distinction is important as most people diagnosed with psychological disorders are diagnosed only after they have difficulty maintaining emotional and behavioral stability. In order to discover how to prevent psychological disorders, one must first be able to change the subconscious mind. It is suggested that humanity is of itself not cable of changing subconscious thought patterns. Otherwise people suffering from negative emotions due to subconscious thought patterns would be able to create positive emotions and therefore all of mankind would be completely happy, peaceful and satisfied. It is suggested that if humans do not have correct subconscious thought and cannot create correct subconscious thought they will always have a psychological disorder unless Someone else creates correct subconscious thought within them. The only way to prevent psychological disorders would be to help an individual gain access to correct subconscious thought (truth or God), thereby preventing the establishment of untrue subconscious thought patterns.

Psychological Disorders are found in the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Text Revised 4) and categorize many psychological health issues that have been specified as such. They are the presence of an abnormal "body" that has to cause distress, impairment in relationships, social life, and occupation. It is very broad to just say psychological disorder as there are many forms. They originate from the mental health of the individual, where their cognition, behaviour, beliefs are thought to stray from the standard deviation of the population. Although they originate in the mind, there are several psychological disorders that manifest and have physical symptoms. An example would be Eating Disorders. They originate from a warped sense of self and body-image, their constant need and desire to lose weight, feelings of inadequacy cause them to have periods of starvation, abnormal behaviour with food, and those will produce physical symptoms of weight loss, anemia, low BP, lugano, tacychardia, etc. Psychological disoders affect about 40% of the North American population at least once in their lifetimes. Depression, Anxiety are among the most common psychological disorders.
