Psychological View

Psychological View Many Ameri canisters, until this day, have been diagnosed with psychotic person disorders. harmonize to the Schizophrenia Health Center, psychotic disorders are a group of serious illnesses that presume the mind. These illnesses affect a persons responsibility to think clearly, make good judgments, respond emotionally, communicate effectively, understand reality, and behave appropriately. When symptoms are severe, people with psychotic disorders have difficulty staying in touch with reality and often are unable to meet the ordinary demands of daily life.In Edgar Allan Poes poem The down, we can see that the verbalizer of this famous piece of American literature is a man grieving over the death of his belove, Lenore. The speaker tries to go on with his life, but he always feels grief for the person he wooly-minded. No matter what he does, the feeling comes back, and he cannot ignore it besides like we couldnt ignore a bird in our room who was always staring at us. Based on my reading on The consume by Edgar Allan Poe, the speaker was hallucinating images, suffering depression, and struggling with with(predicate) delirium tremens.After reading Poes poem, we can clearly see all of the speakers mental conditions. Throughout the poem The Raven, the speaker suffered hallucinations. The loss of his beloved Lenore hit him hard, especially psychologically. That I scarce was sure I comprehend you here I opened wide the door Darkness there and nothing more (page 468 lines 23-24). Through this quote, the speaker shows auditory hallucinations. Hes sure he heard a knock on the door, but when he opened it, there was nothing but darkness.According to my understanding of the poem, the speaker also suffered visual hallucinations, unless we fall upon that the speaker really did see a raven. However, it does work well as a symbol for mental disorder, especially as a raven is cognize for its color, and depression is often referred to as the black d og. People who have hallucinations may hear sounds or voices or see things that are not really there, just like the speaker from The Raven theory he saw a raven.The speakers loss of his beloved Lenore brought great depression upon him. Eagerly I wished the morrow vainly I had sought to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow sorrow for the lost Lenore for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore (page 467 lines 9-11). The speaker is grieving for his lost Lenore and it is almost as if the raven has been sent as a messenger from the underworld to torment the speaker even more. According to the Depression Health Center. eeling dispirit can be a normal reaction to loss, lifes struggles, or an injured self-esteem. Left untreated, depression can lead to problems at home, work, school, drug abuse, and even tragedy. Depression is a mental illness that affects most of the worlds population, but if treated correctly it could be cured. The loss of the speakers beloved Leno re made him fall into depression, and sadly he couldnt get himself any help. Based on my understanding of the The Raven, the speaker is struggling through delirium tremens.According to an article from Medline Plus, delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or nervous agreement change. The speaker of The Raven had too much going at one time of his life, so most likely he turned to alcohol as a nepenthe. Nepenthe was an ancient Greek concept of a medicine for sorrow, it would be what today is classified as an anti-depressant or a drug of forgetfulness. Scholars have thought of it as a substitute for Opium or Wormwood.We can tell he had some drinks because he was feeling weary. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered lightheaded and wearyAh, distinctly I remember it was in bleak December (page 467 lines 1 and 6). The speaker mentions that it is night time and that hes in his leave feeling weak and weary. This could be possib ly due to extreme alcohol consumption especially since the poem mentions that it is December, a time to be merry with our loved ones, or perhaps just alone and drunk if we have lost our loved one just like the speaker in The Raven did.According to an article all about delirium tremens, the main symptoms of delirium tremens are confusion, disorientation, agitation, and fever. The speaker seemed confused and disorientated because he was still grieving the loss of his beloved Lenore. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous poems in American literature. Among other achievements, the poem is a detailed examination of hallucinations, depression, and delirium tremens. Poes protagonist moves through several specific stages of grief until he sinks into hopelessness at the poems conclusion.He does not come to accept his loss he single suffers and attempts to deal with it. The raven symbolizes grief. The speaker tries to move on with his life, but something keeps pulling him ba ck, and he cant ignore it just like the raven that sit down in the room, staring. Throughout The Raven we saw many psychological conditions the speaker had to deal with. Its very sad knowing how loosing someone we love can affect our life to a point where we just feel hopeless.
