Sharing psychology quotes which I like
1. [Psychoanalysis] is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist. ~Karen Horney, Our Inner Conflicts, 1945
2. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, involved in many kinds of motivation, among other functions. The hypothalamus controls the "Four F's": fighting, fleeing, feeding, and mating. ~Marvin Dunnette
3. A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. ~Paul Dudley White
4. The aim of psychoanalysis is to relieve people of their neurotic unhappiness so that they can be normally unhappy. ~Sigmund Freud, attributed
5. A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing. ~Joey Adams
6. The sun is nature's Prozac. ~Astrid Alauda, 1990
7. If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as well. ~Rainer Maria Rilke, on leaving psychotherapy
Here's one funny joke I came upon.

Body image
Am so obese & I gotto do something about it besides exercising. I've done research on using natural remedies which will enhance my metabolism, suppress my binge. I've taken for past 2 days & felt there's some progress.
Something gross is about to be mention but it's the fact! If makes me feel fuller after meal but one thing is if I continue to eat a bit more, I'll feel very nausea. One's output is EXTREMELY STINKO as compared to usual stinko. Long time, didnt had such ULTIMATELY STINKO output!! Wah!! Even I myself wanna faint.
Suppose it works, to detoxify internally & I felt much lighter. But that doesn't mean I can binge, alright. Wanna be slim, got to have discipline & motivation.
Move on!!

Stresses doctors faced
Extracted from: http://www.sma.org.sg/smj/3911/articles/3911me1.html
2. Handling difficult patients: Patients may have a strong emotional response towards the doctor (transference) and arouse similarly strong responses from the doctor (counter-transference). Underlying these are the patterns of relationships with key people early in the person’s life. For example a doctor may "remind" a patient of his domineering and authoritarian father provoking a hostile reaction. Difficult patients may "unload" their negative emotions onto the doctor (projection) or require persistent reassurance and "downloading" from the doctor. Both reflect the interplay of the needs and psyche of the patient and doctor. More often than not, hostile reactions are not personal attacks but projections of anger towards an accessible and convenient target. Doctors need to avoid becoming receptacles for these and other strong negative emotions by stepping back mentally and asking themselves, "Why am I feeling like this towards this patient?" (and/or vice-versa). Problems occur when doctors go to extremes, either becoming overly concerned and responsible, or angry and abrupt.
Stress in women doctors
"I feel stressed. Most of my energy goes to my work _ treating patients and supervising juniors. The worse things are the workload and the inflexibility. I get back home and my two young children fight for my attention. Sometimes I’m so tired I’m asleep by 8.30pm. I have to come in to hospital almost every day. Squeezing one day’s work into half on Saturday leaves me dead tired when I’m finished. I’m worn out after a few months, but two days of leave refreshes me. I would definitely prefer part time work but it doesn’t seem to be available."
No wonder Dr Lee oso told me before few times she oso feels stressful.
