» MENTAL HEALTH, PEACE AND HAPPINESS
By Ozodi Thomas Osuji Ph.D | Published 05/26/2010 | Health and Welfare | Rating:
This paper points out ways to obtain mental health, peace and happiness. It says that the individual must understand his self concept, personality and how it came into being by looking at the biological, sociological, existential, metaphysical and cognitive factors that contribute to it and eventually make a decision to accept his real self, a loving self, and desist from any desire to be an ideal self. Pursuit of ideal self disturbs ones peace and happiness.

» PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING AND HEALING PERSONALITY DISORDERS
By Ozodi Thomas Osuji Ph.D | Published 04/21/2010 | Health and Welfare | Unrated
This paper delineates material that I cover in workshops that I offer on approaching personality disorders from secular and spiritual psychological perspectives. It is usually a two day workshop. Many more topics are addressed but this paper captures the gist of what is covered. In a nutshell, the paper says that personality disorders can be understood and healed if approached holistically, that is, from both scientific and spiritual perspectives.

There is no medication that cannot be openly obtained in the open market in Nigeria. Drugs that ordinarily should not be sold over the counter are common place. Try any Nigerian market and you can openly buy drugs for treating malaria, for inducing ovulation, for treating psychosis, migraine, epilepsy and so on. Insulin, the dangerous hormonal preparation for treating diabetes is so common place with different preparations, types and strengths. No drug is deemed too sacred to be sold in Nigeria.

» Nigerians and Cigarette Smoking; the Impending HealthCare “Tsunami”
By Taiwo Fasoranti MD | Published 05/15/2009 | Health and Welfare | Rating:
Today, I write with a heavy burden when I look at the rate at which Nigerians, especially at home, both educated and illiterate smoke cigarettes without necessarily considering its consequences. I hope by bringing up this topic, we might at least raise some awareness and mitigate the disaster awaiting us as a nation. On a recent visit to the motherland, I attended some social functions and to my greatest surprise, I was shocked at the recklessness of our people, both young and old.
