Harry Coumnas Discovered More about the Pessimistic Attitude in Patients of Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Harry Coumnas is a well-known psychiatrist who has been studying human emotions for many years. Harry Coumnas has recently found a brain region which is responsible to generate a pessimistic mood. Patients suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders like anxiety or depression experience more negative moods than others. The negative mood leads the patients to focus on the possible downside of a given situation instead of taking potential benefits from that.

  2. Study of Nuro Science by Harry Coumnas • Harry Coumnas is a well-known psychiatrist who has been studying human emotions for many years. • He has been trying to decipher how emotions are controlled by the brain, and why it is so difficult to treat individuals suffering from psychiatric problems.

  3. What Is Responsible To Generate a Pessimistic Attitude? • Harry Coumnas has recently found a brain region which is responsible to generate a pessimistic mood. • Patients suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders like anxiety or depression experience more negative moods than others. • The negative mood leads the patients to focus on the possible downside of a given situation instead of taking potential benefits from that.

  4. Experiment conducted by Harry Coumnas to Understand Depression and Anxiety Better • Harry conducted a test on animals and found that after stimulating the region named ‘Caudate Nucleus’, animals were inclined to make negative decisions. • This new discovery can help better understand the basic reasons of depression and anxiety. • New treatments can also be developed to combat these negative effects.

  5. Approach-Avoidance Conflict • Harry Coumnas previously identified a special neural circuit that has a specific ability of decision-making named as ‘approach-avoidance conflict.’ • According to him, the decisions that require weighing options including positive and negative elements tend to evoke a lot of anxiety. • He also discovered that chronic stress dramatically affects the decision-making ability of the brain.
