1.) A version with similar initial ideas as in this article have been published in the journal of Medical Hypothesis (2006) 67,395-4000 with the title;  "Considering the major mental disorders as clinical expressions of periodic pathological oscillations of the overall operating mode of brain function "

2.)I will follow the guidelines of Wikipedia if I will be given time. 3.)It will be significantly shortened

4.)The article has merit because as the reviewer commented, is an effort as a research paper based on published works . A Synthesis.

5.)The redundant titles are a mistake; It is actually the same article resulting when an attempt was made, when posting, to modify the original title to better reflect the contend  of the article. (so now both titles are erroneously present)

6.) Most importantly, as a result of the Synthesis,the article concludes with original proposals that are significant in understanding the mechanisms in the development of major mental disorders. These proposals were not previously entertained because the collective evidence in the various works cited, pointing to these conclusions in the article, have been overlooked ( Lack of Synthesis.)

Dr. Pediaditakis, Within the following; "These phenomena suggest a potential bimodality of the operating mode (i.e., oscillating from the normal phase with the qualities of synchrony and amalgamated subtlety to a pathological one expressed with either-or, crude, antithetical substitutes characteristic of the symptoms of all MMDs). They also suggest a causative role of the underlying temperamental variance as well as a common initial developmental origin."

Within my experience, temperament remains quite stable despite affective state symptoms. Are you referring to the mismatch between primary caregiver's temperament and attachment pathology and that of a child's genetic coding for a conflicting temperament and range of attachment needs resulting in malimprintation? The common presumption is that temperament is fairly fixed and attachment needs are common despite temperament of child or parent. Perhaps it is more complicated than that.

Sincerely,

William Halstead, M.D.

Causes of Major Mental Disorders
Hi Drnpediaditakis, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have recently reviewed your article on Causes of Major Mental Disorders, and have the following suggestions (copied on the article's talkpage):

There are some problems with this article, which I have tagged accordingly. However, as a non-expert in the field, I am wary of making substantial changes to the content. This appears to be an article which may have merit for inclusion on Wikipedia, but needs considerable cleanup to meet the encyclopedia's guidelines.

It reads like an academic essay, and needs to be edited to read like an encyclopedia article. At present, it seems to verge on original research, as a synthesis of published material.

There are terms which I, as a layman in this field, do not understand. These could potentially be retained, but should be wikilinked to aid reader's comprehension.

The article is also extremely long in its present form, and needs to be substantially pruned. At over 30KB, it is nearing the upper limit for article size. Some information could potentially be split off into other articles.

The references, whilst correctly cited for an academic paper, should be re-edited to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines for inline citation.

In addition, the title is incorrectly capitalised, and the article should be retitled as Causes of major mental disorders, as per Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Done

On further investigation, it appears that this is a direct copy of your essay Origins and Causes of Major Developmental Disorders. I have been unable to verify that this article has been published in a notable journal or periodical - if it has, please let me know where or add the reference to the article - but even if it has, such essays do not belong on Wikipedia. I am therefore tagging the article for deletion.

If your essay has been published in a book, journal or periodical, then we can certainly use it as a source for a future article on this topic.

Please note that this is no reflection on your work or its quality, merely an observation that is is not appropriate content for Wikipedia.

All the best, Yunshui (talk) 10:17, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
