Repetitive stress of the mind

Looking at the symptoms of Aspergers and the various mental issues associated with engineering and other technology types I’m developing the opinion that it is not an problem for psychologists. The drugs used to treat the problems benefit the pharmaceutical companies more than the patients.

After a period of intense coding or troubleshooting I can see these symptoms become more prominent in myself. After a break or change of scenery the symptoms go away. Computer/video gamers show the same behavior. The medical community reported repetitive stress injuries in gamers in the form of wrist problems.

I suspect that what is being diagnosed as Aspergers in many cases is repetitive stress injury of the mind.

Some simple solutions–

• Bananas! Just look at the vitamins and other benefits of bananas. While I’m no doctors bananas seem to be a better way to go. Bananas have to be better for you than Zoloft. And the last time I checked they were less expensive than the mind altering medications. So you help manage run away healthcare costs.
• Change your scenery. One good lesson we can take from smokers–NOT SMOKING of course–but the way smokers take smoke breaks during work. Every once in awhile get up and walk around, go out doors or whatever.
