Today is the start of a wonderful thing!
And tomorrow will be one too!
Everyday from now on!
That's what I've decided to do!
I have also decided on a topic for a thesis to write about for the PhD scholarship we are going to be entering.
I want to use my sociology knowledge and my life experiences to provide 'refocused treatment methods and procedures of how mental illness', and to 'change the current policy to better reflect the modern age'. This study is focused on three aspects: 1) economic government bureaucracy and current policy 2) the social consequences of the war on drugs and 3) progressive modern treatment of mental health disorders. I base my thesis on post grad research primarily from experience and lessons learned from my 5 years in the United States Marine Corps, with time servers overseas and behind bars; multiple failures of entrepreneurial endeavors (learned a lot of this); and experiences with having ADD in a unforgiving (but uninformed) world. With terribly mental health treatment with extremely unfortunate consequences to me. (More about my personal history in the bio section.)
The goal of this thesis is to present an alternative to not only treatment of mental disorders in the modern world, but to also suggest new progressive thinking to proven wrong ways of thinking. I base this on my study of philosophy.
I want to prescribe medical marijuana as part of a comprehensive treatment of mental health fitness. Focus on adults with ADD/ADHD/ADHBD. As
well as anxiety disorders and PTSD strength-based progressive treatments.
(See end of blog post for details on ADHBD, the new progressive diagnosis for Attention Deficit Disorder)
A PhD will be required for me to administer medicine and to have the credentials to treat the much needed cohort of individuals who need help. The current system has failed them, and they need such a program like this. I am here to help, I just need a PhD first. This is why I deserve to win this scholarship from www.findaphd.com.
Starting with the thesis from one of many recent websites of mine DRUG WAR STATISTICS at https://sites.google.com/site/drugwarstatistics/

Opening
Statement
“Moving
forward. Now is life. This is what I have been waiting for. This is
the time. Yeah I've been down on my luck, but it was these hard times
that have made me who I am today. The hard life lessons learned so
far in my life was what I needed to make me who I am destined to be.
I am an optimist because I see no reason not to be.
I have become
what I wanted. This is the life I was looking for. The law of
attraction brought into my life what I needed, and what I asked for.
All the BS, the stupid mistakes, the ups and downs, good times and
good luck, the second chances and big breaks (still waiting). The
closed doors and missed opportunities, opened the doors that lead me
to experience the things I needed to experience, and meet the people
that I needed to meet, to make me learn what I needed to know to do
the things I need to do. My conscience is clear and my mission
clearer. I am going to move mountains. Mark my words.
For I am a Marine/Scientist/Piano Teacher & Leader....”

ADD
is not viewed as a Disorder, because neurologically, there is nothing
wrong in the brain, compared to other mental illness and disorders
(like schizophrenia).
People
with ADD are gifted members of society, with an Added
Dimension. If otherwise ignored or mistreated, those people
will suffer unnecessary pain and suffering.
