Oppression within society

The Following is true as it relates to both a social and mental health system that unduly causes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. (Alternating images that vacillate within one's mind). The main character unable to brandish any type of respect is condemned and condoned by a hostile society. Disconcerting in appearance, the main character secures a janitorial position that embarks on pure drudgery. The scene is a college hockey arena under the auspices of Franciscan Monks. Job duties include and encompass cleaning personnel offices, handicapped bathrooms, public restrooms and locker rooms, a three thousand seating capacity arena, a concourse, press and penalty boxes, the friar's room in addition to stocking items used during hockey events.

Due to a disconcerting appearance and inability to conform to societal norms, the main character obsessively adheres to a stringent diet. Eventually, the main character is encumbered by mental illness that leads to a rift in coping mechanisms. Two important concepts prevail. "If not inherent, trying to conform to societal norms more often than not leads to psycho-pathology and the uneasy combination of rising dopamine and lowered serotonin leads to an unbalanced state". This is particularly true with starvation. Satisfy hunger and dopamine and serotonin levels commensurate each other procuring a bio-balanced state.
Eventually, through the impending mental illness, the main character exhibits bizarre syllogisms reminiscent of hebephrenic or disorganized schizophrenia. This is characterized by incoherent speech. Here are two examples: His approach to life is that of being in the process of auditioning for both a country time and minute maid commercials all awhile engaging in Bing Crosby smoking techniques and is Overwhelmingly exhuberant in having his name mentioned that it can be contrasted to Lucille Carmichael bellowing out in an overzealous fashion, "Mr. Mooney". Often due to erroneous assessments and mis-diagnosis, a patient experiencing a potentially fatal condition referred to as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome with its lingering dementia will be diagnosed as hebephrenic or disorganized schizophrenia as both conditions are exemplified by "Those that assume bizarre rigid postures with the inability to differentiate".
Next, hospitalization was imminent in a psychiatric unit surrounded by urban sprawl and neglect. Anti-manic drugs, atypical anti-psychotic agents as well as anti-depressants and minor tranquilizers
