Psychological depressed patients

Hello Asif,

Thanks for posting these pics. Does the book have any other such pics about other conditions that you could post.

Thanks,
GP

Hello,
I thought I'd share this palm photo of a woman age 46 who is a long term sufferer of depression.

and this is her left hand.:

Thanks for your comments,
Yes, she is overweight due to her lack of physical effort in general things, and she sleeps a lot due to her medication and also prone to drinking heavily even though she was advised not to because of the medication. She lost her mother to cancer when she was only 15 years of age which could have been the beginning of the depression.

hi Sari, thanks for posting these pictures. Do you know if she has any (underactive) thyroid problems? (or even some chromosome disorder?)

Hi Lynn,
She hasn't been diagnosed with underactive thyroid (she's just underactive in general) and hasn't been tested for chromosome disorder. She was recently diagnosed bi-polar on top of the depression. But I don't see how they did because her medication has been heavy for a long time, maybe the medication is causing other problems.

Thanks Sari. It was just a 'feeling' from the look of her hands!

Hello all,

I haven't been on the forum for a while due to work and study commitments and with my new BlackBerry I can easily log on and comment, but, I'm not the slightest bit impressed with what I'm reading on this forum, simply because I am dedicated to PDC.

First of all, this is not the correct section of the forum. Here you are talking about depression on the PDC section, and yet you have not stated anything regarding PDC! You have not citated from any of the PDC textbooks!

My point here is this has nothing to do with PDC, so there's no reason to have it in this section. Martijn, if possible, can you create another section such as "scientific hand analysis" or whatever.

I'm sure you would know by now that PDC is a discipline on it's own and has nothing to do with palmistry, this is what you'll discover by reading the latest PDC textbook.

Secondly, the majority of your research, by the looks of things, is palmistry, and that's a problem because it is what it is, palmistry. The majority of palmistry is fortune telling and most often nothing scientific. Just because a majority of palmistry textbooks indicate that certain features indicate depression, it doesn't mean so!

This brings me to my third point. Look at Martijn, the majority of his work and research comes from scientific research. PDC was tested in behavioural science laboratories. Kevin Leak who is doing research on depression at a mental institution and at the country's biggest university. My point is, before you go on any further, do some scientific research.

I have a large amount of palm prints from individuals who suffer from depression, and from my own research I'm finding a pattern with a specific feature and attempted suicide, which I'm happy because I haven't found anything like this in any book or textbook.

Another major problem I've got and that I'm quite concerned, is that I have seen this time and time again, from the old and new forum, and this happens with some of the IIHA graduates (which one would least expect), that will discuss, for example, autism, and how the hands can indicate autism, but yet, YET THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS!

Hi Ron, great to see you posting again!

Of course you're right... this topic was not posted in the right forum section, thanks for making that noticed! So I decided to move your topic from forum IIIc to IIIa.
