Press Release Summary: De-stigmatizing mental problems and demystifying the mind and
mental existence, through Active Individual Mental Engagement, individual mental
work and effort understanding and managing the mind and mental existence from the
inside

Press Release Body: Ottawa, ON, August 12, 2008 -- The Institute for Human
Conceptual and Mental Development (IHCMD) announces the launch of a new website on
October 10, 2008, World Mental Health Day. The web site will provide a new direction
and a different approach of understanding and managing mental problems, the mind and
mental existence. It will be a free public service, designed for both users and
practitioners.

We are told that 1 in 4 people will suffer from mental illness at some point in
their life. Mental problems affect business and economic productivity, the cost of
which runs into the billions. In reality, throughout our life, we all experience and
must deal with mental problems and difficulties, demands and challenges. Moreover,
the way we understand and manage the mind and mental existence affects everything in
life we do and we engage in. It affects how we, as individuals, understand and
manage ourselves, our behaviour and actions, how we connect, communicate and
cooperate with each other, and how we interact with the world around us, with nature
and the natural environment. The question is how to deal with and manage them
effectively.

We are also told that our behaviour and actions are driven by our genetic make-up
and the neurological structure and workings of our brain. It is suggested that
mental problems are the results of biological, genetic or neurological illness,
imbalance or malfunction. However, in reality, they are the results of what we do or
fail to do in the mind and mental existence. They are the results of how we
understand and manage our mind and mental existence.

Dealing with mental problems requires Active Individual Mental Engagement,
individual mental work and effort understanding and managing the mind and mental
existence from the inside. It requires understanding and managing the mind and
mental existence as the place where we consciously exist and act, where individually
we experience, become aware and must consider the conditions of existence and the
world around us, and how to deal with them. It is the place where, individually, we
are in charge and in control, where we must actively be engaged and take
responsibility for what takes place and what we do. It is where we make choices and
decisions, define aims, goals and objectives and where we need to consider, plan,
organize and manage our behaviour and actions. The mind and mental existence is
where problems and difficulties, errors and mistakes have their roots and
beginnings, and where answers and solutions must start.

Furthermore, it requires making understanding and managing mental problems, the mind
and mental existence part of daily life, daily work and effort. We need to connect
and integrate mental and physical existence, behaviour and action, work and effort
into an interactive process. Establishing, in everything we do and we engage in, the
necessary internal mental conditions before engaging and dealing with external
conditions and the world around us.

Active Individual Mental Engagement is an approach and an understanding that differs
from how traditionally and today, in psychology and psychiatry we deal with mental
problems, the mind and mental existence. It differs in view and understanding, in
focus and concentration, in answers and solutions, and in objectives and results.
