Mental Health - October 2006

My brother is addicted to wrestling (as in WWE.) He sits around all day looking up little known facts about wrestlers and wrestling events. He knows way too much about wrestling. He knows WWF, WWE, WCW, NWA, AWA, WCCW, ECW, and anyother organization. I think he is obsessed with wrestling and wrestlers. Should I stage an intervention?

Stay away from it entirely or is it best to face it over and over until youre so used to it that it no longer affects you?

I have been diganosed with a personality disorder and depression. It impairs my social life and my self image. I have constant thoughts of paranoia and suicide. I want some sort of help. I can't afford health insurance and most I have talked to don't cover mental illness. I am not sure what to do. Everyone around me either doesn't care or does not know what to do.

If you have taken this for ADD, can you please tell me what you think of it? Side effects? Efficacy?

I suffer from mild depression. I've cut myself in the past not with a knife but with other things. I've hit my head in the wall, just different things. I'm easily angered over the most stupidest things. Things that shouldn't even matter. I have done risky things in the past like unprotected sex and etc outside of my marriage. I get very violent, hostile when i'm mad/angry. I'm afriad that i'm setting my family up for failure. I know for a fact i'm damaging my children and I'm scared. Sometimes I feel my head is going to explode with racing thoughts. I dont even know how to make realistic/practical decisions. If it were up to me i'd prolly be living on the streets due to being bankrupt because i would have already spent everything i had plus some. Sometimes i'm more outgoing than other times. Sometimes i'm there but I just feel like i dont fit in or like i'm just withdrawn from everyone/everything.

My family and I have come to the conclusion that we absolutely cannot afford therapy...at all. I am in desperate need of it. I'm sure people will suggest going to a free school counselor-but can i really tell my bizarre problems to them? I have checked out self-help books, but I have no time to read them because of school. Just please keep in mind that we have NO extra money for this. What can I do?

He's 26 and gets extremely angry over little things. When he starts drinking he is very happy but then something sets him off and he gets into a rage. He wants everything his way. I would like to get him some help, but really don't know how to talk to him about it without him getting mad at me.

Over the past several months I have been prescribed several different antidepressants. They all seem to have an effect that even other people notice. But after about a month of anything new, even a dosage increase, they all seem to quit working. Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm 19, I've taken the year off from my Bachelor of Engineering course due to mental overload, and I feel I'm going insane. I've always had social problems as a child, and the school counsellor suspected Asperger's and depression. Last year, I saw the doctor and took Zoloft for 6 months. I've taken my last repeat about 5-10 months ago. Now, I'm experiencing a serious decline in mental function, as though I've got dementia or brain damage or something. 4 years ago, this all began. I used to be good at school, but for the last few years, my grades went downhill. In my first year of university (2005), I failed miserably, but back then, my mental decline was steady. Now, it's exponential... It's taking me a great deal of effort to write this. Although I am confident with my spelling and grammar, I feel that my sentences are awkwardly expressed. I'm also forgetting things that I used to know. I've had a CT scan and brain tumor is ruled out, so what the hell is wrong with me?

Pot smoking became popular with people in the sixties now after all these years it seems the continued pot smoking has screwed up their thinking. They are out of touch and think they know everything. They think they are intelligent when in reality they come off as idiots.

Can a regular doctor prescribe you a low dosage, or any for that matter, of Zoloft, or do you strictly have to see a psychiatrist to get something like that? Becuase on the commercials it says to "See your practitioner for more details" or whatever so i wasnt sure..

If we catch Bin Laden alive, I wonder what will happen when we put him alone in a dark room with nothing but a television.

As for the mental sample of "what the outside world is like", playing MTV repeatidly many hours to him, and observing his reaction in the end.

What do you think he would say?

Defined as the fear of "death or dead things", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread (Taken from http://www.changethatsrightnow.com/fear-of-death.asp?SDID=6243:1705).

I get so bored and discouraged doing exercise that doesn't show any result but sweaty clothes and aching muscles. I don't mind breaking a sweat if I can actually see a result, but find it very hard to get motivated otherwise.

I used to do jobs for my parents, like mowing the lawn, cleaning out the rain gutters, etc.

But now I live in a gardenless flat and the only tolerable form of exercise I can find is going for long brisk walks reading a book as I go. (I haven't bumped into anything for over twelve years.)

I have Asperger's Syndrome, one side effect is that I have poor co-ordination and motor skills and was only diagnosed later in my life. I was clumsy throughout school and no good at sports as a result of that I was teased for being useless and not trying when doing my best. The PE teacher had to drag me out of hiding because of how much I hated PE, all I wanted to do was do the schoolwork.

I want to know if there are any new or better types of anti-depressants that a doctor can prescribe other than Zoloft. I am on the highest dose, and have been for around 3 years, but I dont think it is working anymore. I can still have a laugh - but in general I am really feeling low 80 - 95 % of the time and it is just not the real me. I am due to see my doc soon and I want to go in with some new questions to ask him about changing my medication. Please - no smart **** answers - but then again I can still have a chuckle here and there!!!! Anything new or a different medication that anyone recommends?
