Disorders
A mental disorder, also termed mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern that is associated with distress or disability that individuals experience and is not regarded as part of normal development. They are currently recognized as disorders of brain circuits that may be attributed to developmental processes that are influenced by an interplay of factors such as genetics and experience.Experts say all people have the potential for developing mental health problems, regardless of age, gender and social status.

While
psychiatry is far from being an exact science,
certain medications are
being
prescribed to address the various issues
associated with mental
disorders.
Unfortunately, different individuals react
differently to different
medications, so the process essentially becomes
a trial and error
method. The
problem with this is that most of the
medications available today pose
significant side effects that may further
complicate the patient’s
condition.
For this reason, people have turned to
alternative cures such as the mangosteen.
This super fruit has attained its popularity for
a good reason...it
simply works!The latest scientific studies reveal that mangosteen contains a class of natural polyphenolic compounds known as xanthones. These are the most powerful antioxidants found in nature that can help repair cell damage from free radicals, ward off degenerative diseases of the brain and mental deterioration. They are also naturally antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Majority of the other medicinal benefits of xanthones can be expressed in terms of how they act against serious diseases. In regard to mental disorders xanthones have been shown to have antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. They help the mind think clearly, adapt better and provide a general sense of well-being (antidepressant). They also stop the damage of neurons so they mature and replicate properly and help the cell walls and the neurotransmitters function effectively. Another significant finding that makes mangosteen highly effective against mental disorders is the fact that it contains the essential amino acid tryptophan. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and the essential types are the ones that must be ingested through the diet because the body cannot synthesize them. What’s so important about tryptophan is that it is directly related to serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is responsible for the regulation of mood, appetite, sleeping patterns, and some cognitive functions such as memory and learning. Moreover, the modulation of serotonin at synapses is believed to be the major action of a number of classes of pharmacological antidepressants. The most commonly prescribed medications in many countries worldwide are drugs which alter the levels of serotonin. They are used in the treatment of depression, generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia. The main argument here is that patients don’t have to take medications in case there may be a lack of tryptophan and/or serotonin. Mangosteen has more than enough to supply the body without any accompanying adverse effects. Finally, mangosteen also contains another class of biologically active compounds called catechins. These are polyphenolic antioxidant plant secondary metabolites. They are known to function as selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These have long been regarded as antidepressants and also used in drugs that treat other mental disorders such as agoraphobia (fear of public places) and social anxiety.
