Stress

ANSWER:

Religion is a set of rules to be followed in order to be right with God. Religion is fear based and results in more fear.

Faith is based upon relationship with God and an unshakable knowledge that you are loved, protected, valued and will never be rejected or abandoned. Faith is love based and results in more love.

Any rules, law or requirement added to the pure and unconditional love God offers us will kill the flow and the joy of that love and faith will be impossible. Faith resides in the heart.

A stress interview is another part of the job search you must be prepared for, if you want to get a job offer.

Here is what happens in a stress interview. Soon after you sit down, relax, and are asked a few basic or introductory questions, the interviewer starts rapidly firing tough questions at you, sometimes in a hostile tone of voice. The interviewer may start challenging or criticizing everything you say. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered rude and ignorant and you would feel mortified and defensive, but, if you are prepared, you will shine in this situation.

In a stress interview, the interviewer is testing you to see how you act under pressure. The ability to handle this sort of pressure is a must for many positions, especially those that involve working in the public eye with demanding clients (a "pressure cooker" environment). Don't make the mistake of taking this personally; stand your ground and do not let yourself be intimidated. Look upon this as an opportunity to rise to the challenge and respond in a level-headed, confident, and professional manner.

Whatever you do, do not match the attitude of the interviewer by becoming defensive and argumentative. You will notice that the interviewer reverts to his or her original demeanour after the interrogation. He or she was only doing a job; the intent is to disqualify candidates who are not able to handle pressure.

The reason that the stress interview is used so frequently is that it gets results. It gives the interviewer a realistic sense of the candidate's response to difficult situations, and this is not possible using a standard set of questions.

The best way to handle a stress interview is to anticipate and prepare thoroughly for it, so that responding becomes natural.

ANSWER 1 :Not directly. Flashbacks and similar episodes are not the same things, nor caused by the same influences, as schizophrenia.

However trauma, especially to the head, can cause or trigger schizophrenia and similar problems, while at the same time creating PTS. Thus, the two sometimes occur together. Also, since schizophrenia usually manifests at about the same age as young soldiers tend to be injured, and young civilians to be involved in accidents, etc., there are doubtless some cases that would have developed anyway, without trauma.

There is a lot left to learn.

ANSWER 2 : Just to expand on above answer, NO they are not related apart from both being mental health issues affecting humans. But schizophrenia is essentially a general term for a group of psychotic illnesses in which inheritance has been found to play a role in its development, and its onset usually occurs between the age of 15 and 30 being on average 5 years later with women than with men. It is the commonest of all psychotic illnesses affecting about 1% of the total human population in all nations.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the other hand is a specific form of anxiety/depression that can affect men and women but only comes on as a consequence of somebody having suffered a very stressful or frightening experience in their life which may happen to them at any age. Common causes of PTSD include natural disasters such as being in an earthquake, violence, torture, rape and suffering serious personal injury such as from a serious road accident. PTSD can also result from military combat, where it may be termed shell shock.

For a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia to be made on you, you must have continuous signs of a profound break with reality as well as evidence of fragmentation of your personality for at least 6 months during some period in your life, and this one or more six month periods must include at least one phase of hallucinations (such as hearing voices or seeing faces that are not real), delusions or marked thought disorders.

Whereas a clinical diagnosis of PTSF may be made if in your own life you have recurring memories or nightmares of the event, a sense of personal isolation, disturbed sleep and inability to concentrate but without losing contact with reality. With PTSF you may also experience deadening of your feelings or irritability and sometimes painful feelings of guilt in you believing you are personally to blame for some terrible situation affecting others as well as yourself. This can sometimes build up in you to form a true clinical depressive illness. With PTSF these symptoms may begin immediately after the trauma or may develop after a few months or later.

Deja vu occurs anytime and anyplace. Nobody knows why or how it happens. Nor can anyone understand what it actually is.

In my opinion, deja vu is 'REMEMBRANCE.' This stands to reason since I am a believer in reincarnation. The way I see it, deja vu is simply a memory from a past life -- a memory that comes about in such an unrealistic fashion that it forces you to take notice.

Since we are unable to justify deja vu by means of common reasoning, we immediately attribute it to past experiences. However, how far back in the past do the experiences originate?

If you can recall the last deja vu you experienced, you very likely cannot attribute it to any similar situation in recent memory... It only feels recent. But, if you think 'outside the box' deja vu could very well be a memory from a past life... one that is meant for you to take notice of (and possibly act on) in the present.
