以下你會讀到如何預防,如何處理...不要以為柏金遜症是老年人的專利,年輕人也有可能患此病的
認識一位柏金遜症的朋友,早年她的手顫抖的厲害,這次見到她,她面上帶著微笑,她的手也“安定”好多,不是每分每秒都不聽使喚的搖動了。我好開心啊!
我問她,是什麼令她改善這麼大?什麼時候還會不聽使喚的搖動,她說,當情緒不好,緊張,越想脫離緊張情緒,或是煩惱嘀咕自己沒用,阻礙自己幸福, “為什麼會是我?”,手就會像是心一樣,亂跳起來。這是以前的她。
原來她有過意外受傷的經歷,患上焦慮症,憂鬱症,這幾年上了很多成長課程,學習正向心理學。少了埋怨,多了同理心,特別是對自己同理心,接納自己多了,接納別人多了,和家人的關係也提升了,病也好多了。
現在,手還是會顫抖,但她不再怨天尤人,反而把柏金遜症當成是自己的朋友,100%接納它,明白它,好好的和它在一起,幸福感就自然從心而發,不會因為外界的影響或自己的健康狀況所主宰。反而,她身體好了起來,常常幫助其他同路人,幫助別人排難解憂。
在一個工作坊,我们看見一個長期須服藥的憂鬱症個案最後不再介意別人的眼觀,看到自己的價值,不會因病而失去自己的認同感,很有共鳴,我们感慨說:別人如何看自己不重要,重要的是自己要看重自己,自己的價值感決定了自己的命運。
她的故事,又一次令我感觸到:
很多疾病都和情緒直接關聯,和感覺息息相關。
真正的愛自己,是接納任何情況下的自己,有疾病的自己,
令自己身心安頓,面對挑戰的力量就來了,這是積極的愛自己。
真正的愛自己,是接受自己的不完美,成為一個更好的自己,從不完美走向完美。
沒有心理健康,就沒有身體健康。
No health without mental health.
No war without inner war.
Life is choice.
It is our feedback determines our fate, not the happenings around us.
How we feel ourselves determines our emotion and thus behavior and outcome.
Real love is to accept imperfection in ourselves and to be a better self, that is from imperfect to perfect.
最近的研究發現,柏金遜症受血清素和多巴胺的影響:情緒低落,憂鬱症往往血清素低。

What Is Dopamine?
Dopamine is one of the brain’s neurotransmitters—a chemical that ferries information between neurons. Dopamine helps regulate movement, attention, learning, and emotional responses. It also enables us not only to see rewards but to take action to move toward them. Since dopamine contributes to feelings of pleasures and satisfaction as part of the reward system, the neurotransmitter also plays a part in addiction.
Dopamine is heavily involved in the motor system. When the brain fails to produce enough dopamine, it can result in Parkinson’s disease. The primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease, therefore, is a drug called L-dopa, which spurs the production of dopamine. Dopamine has also been implicated in schizophrenia and ADHD, and the brain systems underlying these conditions as well as substance abuse disorder are complex.
The activity of the dopamine system depends on the state of one’s dopamine receptors, for instance—and in people with these conditions, the chemical interacts with other factors in ways that have yet to be explained. People with low dopamine may also be more prone to addiction. The presence of a certain kind of dopamine receptor is associated with sensation-seeking, more commonly known as risk-taking.
How to Increase Dopamine
From paying attention to hallucinating, and experiencing sexual arousal, dopamine is a key molecule in the puzzle of how humans navigate the world. Accordingly, scientists who study neurological and psychiatric disorders have long been interested in how it works and how relatively high or low levels of dopamine in the brain relate to behavioral challenges and disability.
There are ways to up one's dopamine levels naturally, and basic self-care is the place to start. A night of fitful sleep can reduce dopamine drastically; practicing good sleep hygiene is imperative. Exercise and eating a healthy diet are also no-brainers. Consuming high-fat processed foods, for example, can disrupt this neurotransmitter as well.
