Psychology
Psychology (bêûdo dûuncît) is the study of the dûuncît (mind), kon gonîso (thinking), kon oncêmon (feeling), and zusbot (emotions). In Hîsyêô, mental health is viewed through the lens of the Shattering— understanding how the mind fragments under trauma and how it can be re-woven.
Core Concepts
The Hîsyêô model of the psyche distinguishes between the rational mind, the emotional heart, and the fleeting thought.

Mental Health
Mental illness (sobûnî dûuncît) is not seen as a defect, but as a reaction to the Shards (structures of domination) or the Reflected Suffering (lingering trauma) of the world.
Trauma:
Anxiety:
Depression:
kûyô yinsûk yê wokût côt (Serious sadness of a long time)
Psychiatry:
noûku cîgîlsu dûuncît (Mental treatment science)
Reflected Suffering aka "Echoes"
tônkô tîkêl (literally "reflected suffering") is the Hîsyêô term for PTSD or recurring trauma responses. It is the sound of the Shattering still vibrating in the mind, reflecting off the walls of memory.
Conversely, the act of processing this trauma—looking at it in the mirror—is called kon tîkêl tônkô (Pain Reflection).
