Mental Health and Motivation Awareness, Research and Resources

Mental Health and Motivation 2023

The Mental Health and Motivation research website / journaling project is now well beyond the premise of my own experiences and research interests.

"Vernon Chalmers, the creator of the Mental Health and Motivation website, delves into the fascinating intersection of emotional wellbeing, neuropsychology, artificial intelligence (AI), and the sense of self 1. His work encompasses research, resource sharing, and insights that contribute to our understanding of these critical aspects of human experience. As someone with a personal interest in education, training, and psychology, Chalmers recognizes contemporary neuroscience as a fundamental physiological requirement for gaining insight into cognitive versus emotional decision-making biases and subsequent behavioral responses 2. His journey from analytical education to creative training has been shaped by experiences at Intel Corporation, founding Blu-C, and exploring neuropsychology and photography 3 4. If you’d like to explore more, you can visit his Mental Health and Motivation website, where he shares valuable resources and reflections 1." (Source: Microsoft Copilot 2024)

The Mental Health and Motivation research website / journaling project is now well beyond the premise of my own experiences and research interests.

Global Mental Health Reach
Since August 2021 the website has evolved into an international resource sharing platform for assisting academia, mental health service providers and interested individuals across the world - currently assisting visitors from more than 128 Countries / 50 US States - with various (academic / personal / family / community / sport / military / various employment-related)) Mental Health and Motivation resources. More than 35 international mental health care institutions / providers are actively promoting related mental health care services and / or content on the Mental Health and Motivation website. Read more about this free promotional service.

Mental Health Research / Resources
For the past two years I have concentrated on more than 150 research / resource areas (mainly in neurology, psychiatry and psychology) that I have found  to have the most profound impact on our daily personal cognitive / emotional decision-making and how it affects our interaction with others (towards our own emotional wellbeing / relationships with others).

What started off as a healing journaling disclosure and psychopathology research intervention (in overcoming the trauma of an abusive relationship) evolved into a global 'Mental Health and Motivation' sharing platform. My motivation of  'the more I learned, the more I shared' integrated well with my personal ethos of education and training from other academic interests in my life.

Vernon Chalmers bridges neuropsychology and mental health through a multifaceted approach that combines scientific understanding with practical applications. Here are some ways he achieves this:

  • Research and Insights: Chalmers delves into neuropsychological research to understand brain functions, cognitive processes, and emotional regulation. This knowledge informs his work in mental health, allowing him to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.
  • Training and Education: As a training and development expert, Chalmers educates mental health professionals, caregivers, and individuals about neuropsychological principles. He emphasizes evidence-based practices and interventions.
  • Collaboration: Chalmers collaborates with mental health care providers, sharing insights from neuropsychology. This collaboration enhances treatment approaches, therapeutic techniques, and patient outcomes.
  • Holistic Approach: By integrating neuropsychological knowledge with emotional well-being, Chalmers promotes a holistic understanding of mental health. He recognizes the interconnectedness of brain health, emotions, and behavior.

His assessments and research span various academic institutions, particularly in the faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Management Sciences.

In summary, Vernon Chalmers’ work bridges these fields, contributing to a deeper understanding of mental health and empowering those involved in its care. (Source: Microsoft Copilot 2024)

Interest in Cluster B Personality Disorders
With more than 15 years of personal applied research experience and interest in Cluster B Personality Disorders (Sources: DSM IV-TR (2000), DSM-5 (2013), DSM-5-TR (2022) APA) I still follow the research interpretations of Drs. John Gunderson and Otto Kernberg with admiration for their historic contributions of associating many of the Cluster B Disorder symptoms (via the various spectrums / and or comorbidity) i.e. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) with childhood abuse / trauma, emotional dysregulation, identity deficiency and self-destructive behavior etc.

Mental Health and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
I am learning more about the impact that Artificial Intelligence will have on the future of international mental healthcare application, research, systems and practice.  Herewith some of my questions / content experiments in applying OpenAI's general-purpose ChatGPT on a variety of mental health and motivation topics on this website. There is, of course, also the recent Google Copilot AI chatbot, but at this stage the majority of the AI experimental content here were generated via ChatGPT. There are others - and there will be more advanced AI applications / chatbots in development. I am of opinion that mental healthcare will become a primary AI beneficiary on various functional and application levels. Most opportunities and threats will be evaluated through applied research and supplementary value to it's many AI mental health stakeholders - with specific reference to mental healthcare providers, academia, patients and other (future) users.

Sociology Interests
Vernon Chalmers’ work in sociology primarily focuses on the study of social relationships and their impact on mental health and motivation. His “Mental Health and Motivation” website includes resources and reflections on various sociological aspects, particularly how social interactions and relationships influence emotional wellbeing and neuropsychological functioning 1 2.

Sociology, as a field, examines human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life 3. It covers a wide range of topics, including social stratification, social class, social mobility, religion, law, sexuality, gender, and deviance 4. (Source: Microsoft Copilot 2024)
