Structured psychosocial stress and therapeutic failure
Generalized language-of-thought arguments appropriate to interacting cognitive modules permit exploration of how disease states interact with medical treatment. The interpenetrating feedback between treatment and response creates a kind of idiotypic hall of mirrors generating a synergistic pattern of efficacy, treatment failure, adverse reactions, and patient noncompliance which, from a Rate Di...
متن کاملVersion 2.2 Structured Psychosocial Stress and Therapeutic Intervention: Toward a Realistic Biological Medicine
Using generalized ‘language of thought’ arguments appropriate to interacting cognitive modules, we explore how disease states can interact with medical treatment, including, but not limited to, drug therapy. The feedback between treatment and response creates a kind of idiotypic ‘hall of mirrors’ generating a pattern of ‘efficacy’, ‘treatment failure’, and ‘adverse reactions’ which will, from a...
متن کاملComorbidity and Anticomorbidity: Autocognitive developmental disorders of structured psychosocial stress
We examine interacting cognitive modules of human biology which, in the asymptotic limit of long sequences of responses, define the output of an appropriate 'dual' information source. Applying a 'necessary condition' communication theory formalism roughly similar to that of Dretske, but focused entirely on long sequences of signals, we examine the regularities apparent in comorbid psychiatric a...
متن کاملStructured psychosocial stress and the US obesity epidemic
We examine the accelerating ‘obesity epidemic’ in the US from the perspective of generalized language-of-thought arguments relating a cognitive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to an embedding context of structured psychosocial stress. From a Rate Distortion perspective, the obesity epidemic is an image of ratcheting social pathology – indexed by massive, policydriven, deurbanization and dei...
متن کاملPsychosocial Stress and Psoriasis
Psoriasis is chronic, immune-mediated disease of the skin and joints, which typically follows a relapsing and remitting course. Clinical manifestations of the disease most commonly involve the development of well-demarcated, erythematous, scaly plaques on the scalp, knees, back, and extensor surfaces of the elbows. Psoriasis can have a significant detrimental impact on the psychological health ...
