The Prescription on Mind Symptoms

Abstract

Brain's white matter, the network of some 100,000 miles nerve fibres, connects the different components of the mind, giving rise to everything we think, feel, and perceive. When humans or nonhuman animals are afflicted with pathogens, they react with mental and physical symptoms. The mind symptoms develop first; they are the direct reflection of the brain. Likewise, in drug proving the same procedure follows. Mind symptoms include two types: subjective and objective. The subjective symptoms are the personal feelings or opinions, so they are delusional. The objective symptoms are the facts; therefore, they are noticeable. They have actual existence. A clinician easily identifies them.
