Beauty salon for personality

You are aggressive, suddenly want to be gentle. Are you shy and want to be an active person? This can come true at the 'psychological pharmacy aesthetic ' centers .

We have long been conceived of 'parents who give birth to a child, heavenly nature', and the shaped personality cannot be changed. However, scientific research is becoming more and more clear: In the near future, scientists will complete a full list of chemicals that help change personality, ' beautify ' personality.

'The field of personality change drug research is on the verge of a revolution' - says psychologist Stuart Yudofsky of Baylor University (USA). This revolution is driven by 3 advances:

The discoveries of serotonin - a neurotransmitter that plays a role in controlling human temperament - and other brain chemicals like noradrenalin, dopamine . The study of these chemicals is Beginning in the 1940s, it led to the creation of lithium, valium and other psychotropic drugs. They help correct chemical imbalances, which cause mental illness.

Brain mapping : Scientists have pinpointed the emotional centers of the brain and know which areas will work when people think or carry a certain mood.

Recognize the concentration of neurotransmitters circulating in special circuits of the brain. According to Dr. Robert Cloninger, Louis University's psychiatrist and geneticist, each person's temperament is related to the neuron signal concentration determined. Typical example: If dopamine neurotransmitters are too concentrated in the emotional centers of the brain, you are prone to excessive suspicion. Individuals with superior brain dopamine levels often have great ambitions, strong and determined.

If you raise your serotonin level, you can limit the aggressiveness of men. But excessive serotonin levels will lead to cowardice and lack of confidence .

Dr. Cloninger asserted, it is only necessary to determine the concentration of these chemicals in the brain and the correlation between them that we can conduct therapy to change human personality. We can even predict the upcoming behavior of an individual when analyzing blood.

Pharmaceutical substances alter the temperament

Improving aggression : Dr. Victor Reus of the University of California (USA) claims that everyday people are aggressive and hostile to the environment with lower levels of serotonin in the brain. Just give them a dose of medicine called 'reverse choice', the temperament will change.

In his research, Dr. Reus used paxil and some other drugs with similar effects (such as prozac or fevrin). These are antidepressants, also called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Due to the effect of the drug on serotonin, the user's temperament is significantly improved.

Treatment of shame or embarrassment : According to scientists, in the innate shy brain, too many norepinephrine neurotransmitters are present. In people who are embarrassed by life experiences, dopamine is too much in the brain's control chamber, but lacking in the cerebral cortex. Psychologist Donald Klein of Columbia Medical Center (USA) has prescribed nadil medicine for people who want to cure or embarrass themselves. Results: This is improved after 6 weeks.

Impulsive treatment and obsession : Almost everyone of us used to be impulsive when shopping. Impulsive evidence often makes us regret it later. The problem becomes serious when impulsivity turns into an illness in which the person suffering from it cannot measure all the bad consequences. Psychologists believe that the lack of setoronin in the frontal lobes and the brain's limbic system - where emotions arise - is the cause of the disease.

If impulsive people rarely think about the consequences of their actions, those with obsession will think about it too much. They can do it over and over again and still have no peace of mind and always carry worries in their hearts. The drug that reassures prozac with an appropriate dose can help setoronin balance, reduce this symptom.

Cure anxiety and lack of concentration : Anxiety is the nature of people from the wild. But chronic anxiety is like a machine that only opens without being turned off. The cause is often norepinephrine deficiency. That was the case of Sally Jackson. She often felt lack of concentration, so she was prescribed ritalin medicine by 'personality esthetics' to find this possibility. Ritalin is a stimulant that helps increase the amount of norepinephrine in the brain.

Recently, US researchers have discovered a memory-improving drug, treatment of disgrace or other drugs called dexférfluramine, which eliminates the uneasiness . This shows, more and more The category of drugs that change the mood becomes more abundant.

Some scientists argue that taking drugs is an unreliable method because the concentration of neuron signals in the body is unstable. It changes during the day along with the time and the effects of stress. For the same person, this study may indicate that the character is too aggressive, but other research suggests that he is less active.

But supporters of psycho-pharmacological cosmetic technology still insist that pharmaceuticals will increasingly be targeted at improving people's temperament and emotions instead of treating diseases. According to Dr. Jerome Kagan of Harvard University, in the future, psychiatry will be dominated by pharmacology: people will knock on doctors' doors to demand more personality changes than for healing.
