Psychiatrists and psychologists treat mental issues of their patients. But what about their own mental illnesses?  Psychiatrists and psychologists are more ill mentally  Doctors   are in great stress during their training as well as career period. The workload, busy and fast life schedules, and higher expectations and competitiveness and the nature of the job itself leads to a sense of exhaustion, both physical and mental. There is a heavy burnout. Moreover, time for socialization is almost nil.  Hence, doctors are in grave risk of suffering from mental health illnesses. And in this, psychiatrists and psychologists have a higher risk and incidence of mental health issues.  It is a sad truth that psychiatrists and psychologists are more ill mentally than general public or other doctors. This has been known but not accepted and recognised sufficiently.  Also, read: Narcissist mothers are non-loving and jealous of their daughters  Studies have revealed that psychiatrists and psychologists

Takahiro Shiraishi, a Japanese man sentenced to death in Japan for killing people as part of their suicidal wish!

-

Takahiro Shiraishi did things that even a court or government of Japan would not do-Mercy Killing. The Japanese man used to select people with suicidal thoughts posted on social media and promise to help them die. In this way, he had killed 9 people and disposed of their bodies. He has pleaded guilty and said that he would not appeal against his death sentence.

Takahiro Shiraishi and his sentence

The Japanese man, Takahiro Shiraishi, 30 was tried in court for killing nine people who had suicidal thoughts on social media. The Japanese court has now awarded him a death sentence. Takahiro had pleaded guilty of all the killings. And he has said that he will not make an appeal against the death sentence. He is ready to die for his crimes. But probably, he has no regrets for them.

The Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court found him guilty of killing, dismembering, and storing the bodies of the nine victims in his apartment. The apartment was in Zama, a place near Tokyo. He was also called Twitter Killer and the news of his crime had shocked Japanese people and also the world.

The police had arrested Takahiro in 2017 when they discovered dead bodies of 8 females and 1 male in the cold-storage cases in his house.

Takahiro’s crime

The police then investigated the case and found that Takahiro had a Twitter handle. He used to approach the victims via this social media platform. He used to select people who had posted suicidal tendencies on their social media. He used to communicate with them and offer his assistance in making their wish come true. His name on Twitter was Hangman.

Hangman would then invite the people who agreed for that kind of death to his apartment. All of these were women and there were female teenagers as well. He used to first rape them and then kill them. The man whom he killed was the boyfriend of one of the women who had accompanied her to the house. Takahiro killed him in order to silence him about the crime.

Defense lawyers and their arguments

Takahiro’s defense lawyers put forth the argument that he was just assisting the victims and fulfilling their wishes to die. But later, Takahiro said that he had killed the victims without their consent. The presiding Judge Naokuni Yano also agreed that none of the victims had agreed to be killed and that Takahiro had killed them of his own accord. The Judge stated that the crime was of heinous nature and had led to apprehension and fear in the community. He added that social media these days has become an indispensable part of life and such happenings on it are a matter of concern.

During the death row, Takahiro now wants to marry. Japan has the most suicide rates in the world. This has increased with COVID-19 pandemic. But its crime rate is less. ECONOMY

Morton's toe: Everything you need to know about your longer second toe

-
Image
 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at the base

There can be no universal forgiveness! It never exists!

-
Image
Forgiveness or pardon means clearing off the feelings of resentment or revenge towards the offender. In most contexts it implies giving up any expectation of justice. People justify this act of forgiveness from a religious point of view and psychologists justify it as an act that would bring peace to the victim. But my experience tells me that both religion as well as psychologists are absolutely wrong in asking a victim to forgive the evil person. This act is bad from a society point of view and would lead to a rise in crimes and unhappiness. Let me explain in depth with examples. 1. I have a friend in the UK. She is originally from Nigeria. She has two siblings who are married with children and she herself is single and childless. In the year 2009, she had gone to her hometown. There her siblings tortured her physically and mentally and put her under house arrest. They did not want to give her any ancestral property and assets. She managed to free herself with the help of a friend an

 The decision of couples to have no children by choice seems tough but is increasing in the modern world. Though society looks down at such couples, the availability of effective and safe contraception and old age support from non-family agencies has made things a bit easier for such decisions to be made.  Reasons for voluntary childlessness 1. Personal reasons such as not wanting responsibilities of a child.  2. The emphasis on career rather than reproduction 3. The lack of desire to forward one's family genes or line due to child abuse.  4. Anguish against existence in general. 5. Non-readiness to give up one's freetime and social time for children rearing 6. Happier to help others raise kids 7. Preferring a pet over a child 8. Not wanting to give up personal space and sharing it with a child.  9. Not happy with child-rearing things such as cleaning up mess, disturbing one's sleep etc. 10. Not particularly fond of children behavior. 11. In some situations, one partner alr
