MEET THE FOUNDER / OWNER
My name is Kimorra Morrell, and I am the founder and owner of Psychamine. I am a psychiatric nursing student with educational background experience in adolescent Psychology, anatomy & physiology, neuroscience, chemistry, and physics. I started this organization dedicated to my best friend that committed suicide in November 2021. My goal has been to educate others on mental illnesses, what they are, and how they can affect you in your everyday life, also leading people in the right direction and giving them resources through my organization to get the help they need. Toward the end of the year, Psychamine will donate 15% of all proceeds toward neuroscience organizations to help further cures/solutions for the mentally ill and further research on the brain and its function. If you would like to stay updated on everything Psychamine, please follow us on Instagram @psychamine and subscribe to our newsletter. Thank you all for your support and your generous contribution toward a better future for our brothers and sisters🧠🫀

A Brief History on Mental Illnesses
Historically, mental disorders have had three major explanations, namely, the supernatural, biological and psychological models. For much of recorded history, deviant behavior has been considered supernatural and a reflection of the battle between good and evil. When confronted with unexplainable, irrational behavior and by suffering and upheaval, people have perceived evil. In fact, in the Persian Empire from 550 to 330 B.C., all physical and mental disorders were considered the work of the devil.
Physical causes of mental disorders have been sought in history. Hippocrates was important in this tradition as he identified syphilis as a disease and was therefore an early proponent of the idea that psychological disorders are biologically caused. This was a precursor to modern psycho-social treatment approaches to the causation of psychopathology, with the focus on psychological, social and cultural factors. Well known philosophers like Plato, Aristotle etc., wrote about the importance of fantasies, dreams, and thus anticipated, to some extent, the fields of psychoanalytic thought and cognitive science that were later developed. They were also some of the first to advocate for humane and responsible care for individuals with psychological disturbances.
We at Psychamine send love to everyone battling mental illnesses and support to the families involved in this time of hardship.
We love you and we are here for you.
