Mood Disorders

[ICantSpellDawg]

Including depression

[scooter_the_shooter]

No....but my family thinks I have some sort of germ phobia because



I wash my hands when they are not dirty.....I just want them clean

I won't sit on a public bench because some sick person could have sat there(and many other things similar to this)

[Duke Malcolm]

No, but I'm sure I have one...

[monkian]

I've been on various anti-depressants and counselling for around the past 2 years.

Used to self harm when I was really bad, haven't hurt myself sinse last Christmas.

Trying to decrease my Prozac dose too.

[Strike For The South]

Nope

[Redleg]

I have never been diagonsed for a Mental Health condition.

Mood disorders is actually the wrong term for what your asking.

What your asking is really has anyone been diagnosed with personality disorders to include bi-polar, etc.etc.

I know this because several of my family members have been diagnosed with several severe personality disorders.

My wife is a rapid cycle bi-polar
My step-son is also bi-polar with several other personality disorders thrown into the mix.

I dont believe in personality disorders. People are different and there is no set "way" a person's personality should be.

Chemical imbalances are nothing but bad moods, and these days people seem to think a pill is better than just getting over it.

A statement from the peanut gallery from someone who does not have a clue about which he speaks.

What a knucklehead statement - I guess you like Tom Cruise a lot.

You ever see a severe depression crash after a manic episode? Those who suffer from bi-polar often don't take medication because in the manic phase they believe they are just fine. Then they crash and often attempt suicide. The possiblity of a bi-polar individual committing suicide is above 60%.

One example PJ:

We can all have say paranoid thoughts but for some the paranoid thoughts starts controlling/ruining their lives.

Generic Criteria for Personality Disorders
A lasting pattern of behavior and inner experience that markedly deviates from norms of the patient's culture. The pattern is manifested in at least 2 of these areas:
-Affect (appropriateness, intensity, lability and range of emotions)
-Cognition (how the patient perceives and interprets self, others and events)
-Impulse control
-Interpersonal functioning
This pattern is fixed and affects many personal and social situations.
These symptoms cause clinically important distress or impair work, social or personal functioning.
This stable pattern has lasted a long time, with roots in adolescence or young adulthood.
The symptoms aren't better explained by another mental disorder.
They aren't directly caused by a general medical condition or substance use, including medications and drugs of abuse.

There is really no such thing as "getting over it" when it comes to personality disorders. That is just you (no offense) not knowing what you are talking about.

If you ask me if I think that personality disorders are "over-diagnosted" these days....I´ll agree with you, I think there are a lot of people out there that have been diagnosted and medicated that were just having a rough time and don´t have anything wrong with them..


but to go out and say that personality disorders don´t exist is pure BS man, there are people out there that have serious genuine problems, and those people need help and proper medical help.

It is important to make the distinction between bad moods and insanity.

If someone throws a pity-party for himself and then decides to commit suicide, that is insanity.

If someone feels they need a pill because they are sometimes angry and sometimes nice to other people, thats just a bad mood.

I heard a few weeks ago that 50% of americans supposedly have mental disorders.. yea right. Its all just escapism for weak people. Its something to blame their own misery on.

If you feel bad about yourself, get off your ass and do something about it besides taking what amounts to a horse tranquilizer.

If you wash your hands more than most people, your an individual, congratulations!

Ill say it again, get over it. Popping pills because you feel bad about yourself, cant learn as fast as everyone else, or have mood swings is not a real answer.

The Peanut Gallery has spoken.

no, but i have a brother with OCD.

(I know that I should have allowed for multiple votes)
So cruel , yet at the same time so ........

[discovery1]

No, although I was close to someone who is bi-polar(but apparently past the worst of it) for a while. And I'm requently called sick in the head, a view which I encourage. Although, often when I'm near drops, I think of jumping into them, rather terrifying.

And nice Panzer, very nice.

[The_Doctor]

I am going to stand somewhere in the middle.

Some do have some problems which needs drugs to cure. Such as my uncle, who is a bit like Panzer/Kaiser, who had a problem.

I am not sure what is was, it may have been depression, but he got worked up over little problems. For example, he lost his passport, he searched his house then went to where he worked to look for it, he then started bagging his head against the wall and wanting to kill himself. He found the passport next to his bed and calmed down.

On the other hand some people need to be hit with a wet fish.

Its all just escapism for weak people.

This something my uncle would say.

I sort of agree with it.

Not neccasarily , if you think of jumping with a chute/kite/glider then its fine.
If its over deep water (watch out for the rocks and currents) and you want to try it with or without any of the forementioned then it is fun .
But without the intention of experiencing the thrill with the chance of a repeat performanance .....
Then you may well need your friends to have a serious word with you .

Big drops are fierce fun , but you must enter them with every intention of coming out again , (though sometimes it doesn't work out like that) .

[LeftEyeNine]

Well, I had a severe past with depression and anxiety.. My story is nearly like a drama, causes resulting other causes etc.. Too long and dark story individually, and noone else would like to know it..

If it is something like depresion or anxiety, a low-level of mental problems, then medication never helps without self effort. You take the pills, the stuff turns you into a dead tree, some months get past, you turn into a non-social numb organism, your level of perception diminishes, that's why you feel out of depression but not good. So when you give up the pills without fighting with the causes and the core of your depression/anxiety, you fall into the endless pit again..

I, personally, could not make use of pills until I felt strong and willing enough to get over it. Pills let me stay away from such strange moods, while I was trying to come in power of myself. I did and when I felt ready, gave up the pills, because they just screw your relationships with people.

Briefly, you get over your strange moods with right kind of medication and your willing. The pills stabilize your way. And you have to go forward along the way, if you want to get over it.

The famous "Beautiful Mind"ed John Nash is a paranoid schizophrenic, isn't he ? He deals with it on his own. Now that's what I call bravery.

In fact, schizophrenic people are "mad" because they have a totally different level of perception and comprehension, higher than the so called "normal"s. I saw Jonh Dryden saying :

Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.

while looking to make sure of John Nash.

For some reason I thought "drops of water" and pictured some guy jumping towards one and getting smaller until he is inside it.

I think I am the insane one, or I just think outside the box.

[Tribesman]

I think I am the insane one, or I just think outside the box.

How sane are the people who might tell you that you are crazy ?

Then again....Merseyside ...how sane is any of them ?

Is that a flashback to last years shrooms ?

[The_Doctor]

Maybe there all insane and I am sane, or maybe I am insane for thinking that.

Then again....Merseyside ...how sane is any of them ?

That is no way to talk about your capital.

Is that a flashback to last years shrooms ?

I don't do drugs, then again it is Merseyside, they are probably in the water.

[Tribesman]

That is no way to talk about your capital
I thought that was County Kilburn .
Anyway , so many people have made the mistake of moving back home in the past decade can anywhere in Britain be described as such ?

I don't do drugs
Fair play to ya
Then again in reality , what substance isn't a drug .

then again it is Merseyside, they are probably in the water.
At least you don't have announcements on the radio nonstop for months/years on end telling you not to drink the wonderful liquid that comes out of your taps .
Maybe that is a bad thing , think of the money you are saving
Especially when they tell you to not even use it for a bath

[The_Doctor]

I thought it is only Liverpool, because of the large Irish population and the Catholic catheral (know as Paddy's Wigwam).

Type "Paddy's Wigwam", into google and you find it.

Then again in reality , what substance isn't a drug .

Good point.

How very odd.

[Tribesman]

How very odd.
Its what happens when you have a revolution and all the good minds are killed and you are left with the gobshites , you get a third world nation in the west of Europe

It don't believe it is that bad.

I thought they had the fastest growing economy in Europe.

Since joining the European Community in 1973, the Republic of Ireland has accelerated its growth from a largely agricultural society into a modern, technologically-advanced Celtic Tiger economy.

Celtic Tiger?

Considering the thoughts include me going 'splat' on the ground, yes they should be rather frightening.

In that case you seriously need some good mates or proffessional help to talk to .
