For more than 2 decades, Ive heard so often that drummers develop later in their lives, psychological problems, like Bi-polar disorder, and other time-like disassociative behaviors. I think I have observed this in some bands that I've been in, could be nothing but coincidence, or just the part of 'nuts" in all of us.

I get depressed sometimes and I hate myself. I have a habit of cutting (which I'm trying to quit) I feel like I need to do something to cope/ make myself feel better (or mainly to punish myself) but I don't want to do anything to ruin my body anymore. I feel like holding off now will only make me fall harder in the end. what should I do?

I accidentally got my pills confused and took 900 mg of Zoloft. Do I need to seek medical attention, or should I be okay?

If you would be kind enough to share your experience, I will be
very grateful. Three of my friends have confided that they have,
in the past, sought professional help for their various emotional
problems. Two of them claim that it was a waste of their time.
The third (who also was prescribed some very financially draining
medications) says that "talking out" her problems made her feel
better, but couldn't explain what, specifically, her doctor had done
to help her - besides listening, that is.
Currently, I am facing a dilemma. A family member (I care about
very much) is refusing to continue the therapy (and meds) she has
been recieving (actually, just tolerating) for over two years now.
Her mental health care providers disagree with her decision - and
frankly, I can't provide any good reasons for her to go on with her
treatment. So far, she really doesn't seem much improved. Please
help, if you can. My experience with this type of thing is limited.

I ask because I have paranoid schizophrenia and am able to do very little. I can neither work full-time nor part-time, I have tried casual voluntary work, but still find even this difficult. So I am just wondering whether any schizophrenics who are reading this can tell me about their day, I might get inspired.

I was wondering if you're medication had to be adjusted slightly to allow for the hormonal changes. I am going to talk to my doctor about this...but was just wondering if feeling "worse than hell" is normal?

If it is possible, could we sue boss if they impose too much of pressure on us?

I think the definition of mental illness is too normative to be valid. Maybe people who people call "crazy" are just operating based on own set of norms. What do you think?

My baby was born at 26 weeks and survuved 13 hrs. and 43 min.
Is it wrong to want to have another baby? My water broke at 23 weeks and i was in the hospital 20 days, the doctors were trying to keep her in as long as possible. Her lungs were not mature enough to survive. I didnt think this was going to happen to me because my sister lost her baby 2 years ago. I will never forget my baby, she was perfect. Destiny weighed 1 lb and 6 oz. she was 12 1/4 inches long. Has anyone had this happen and have a good outcome? How long should i wait to have another baby?

i have had problems with severe depression and anxiety since i was about 14. my parents were and still are very emotionally abusive and insulting to me. i am 27 now and living primarily on ssi, which is barely enough to pay cheap rent and eat. i haven't been on any medication or talked to a therapist in a few years, but the last year or so, i have been increasingly confused and unable to think clearly about many things. i have been making many very stupid decisions that i keep regretting. i think i may even have schizophrenia, altough i don't have hallucinations. this confusion and frustration i have been experiencing is making me feel suicidal a lot. the thing that keeps me from wanting to take medication is the potential negative effects it has on your body. i need to make a decision soon about whether to try medication again.

I just started taking Topamax two weeks ago and one of the side effects I am experiencing is some pretty bad acne on my face and shoulders. Has anyone had this side effect? If so, is there any way to get rid of it? Thanks.
