Mental Health - December 2006

For some reason I don't really talk to people that much. It's like I just do not know what to say to people.I do not have that many freinds in school,even though I try to make friends.I try to start conversations, but I just do not know how to start it or how to keep it up. I also feel like im being rejected in school.I also feel a lot of anger in my school. I keep it in though. Do I have some sort of mental disorder?

With an increasing number of people less religious, more into looking good, having multiple lifetime sexual partners, more likely to live in dysfunctional families, more likely to see porn and sexual ads on the internet at a young age etc....

do you think depression now affects a majority of people on a regular basis? I know so many people taking Paxil etc.... that I wonder if society needs to turn back or if it is already too late?

Do you know any specific cases? Elaborate. It seems like this would be an issue.

I was molested, and abused by all of the males in my immediate family. I have been suffering terribly as a result. I am depressed, dissociated, depersonalized, anxious, stressed, and suicidal. I did nothing to deserve this! I was just a little girl! I work daily at staying alive whilst the perpetrators know nothing of my anguish and torment. I am so bitter! How can I put this behind me? I am so sad :( Thanks for your helpful and thoughtful advice.

Ok, this is hard for me to ask, but I need an explanation as to why I act a certain way. So please be as honest as you wish.
I have the constant need to show my penis in public; I dont act on it, but want to show it to every woman I see. I have been known to getting dresses in front of windows or masturbating with my shades open, so a woman might catch me. Any ideas as to why I might be doing this?

I was told today that by knowing you have symptoms of megalomania that it means you do not have it because the fact that you know contradicts definition of megalomania. Is this true?

let me make clear i dont have any depression or anxiety. I just dont find any interest in anything. I see people have hobbies cycling, cars, firearms, computers,movies and music. I see them very happy and excited doing these things. So i thought let me try too, but i just didnt like it straight. All they guys like any one sport i dont. Sometimes i think there is not such a thing in world that makes me motivate to do anything again. What is wrong with me?
How can i know what i like? i really need help

My wife is clinically depressed. She blames me for all of her problems. She tells all of her friends and family how evil and nasty I am with little or no truth to back her claims. Is this normal? How long does it last? She has been in therapy for nearly a year and recently started taking Welbutrin. Please advise.

I've recently read that the Netherlands are on their way to legalize Euthanasia for the severely Depressed and Lonely (ex. men and women who cant get girlfriends/boyfriends, involuntary celibates, permanent virgins, senescent folks). The requirement will be proof of the intolerability of the patients life and that the patient has no chance of bettering by way of psychological examination.

This is great news and hope for people like myself who, as a 23 year old American male virgin at an intolerable 5'5" (which will NOT get better), would like nothing more than to go to my local Dr., and obtain a prescription for a drug that will finally put me to a peaceful death.

I know that there are a lot of critics of Euthanasia - I've heard all their vacuous arguments. A person's life belongs only to that particular person - he/she should have the right to relinquish it.

Euthanasia of this kind will no doubt be available to the American public in the future. What are your thoughts?

PTSD sufferers are known to respond uncontrollably if a subsequent similar circumstance arises, until the crisis is dealt with. People with a dissociative identity may be taken over in similar circumstances. Certain research indicates that about 85% of DID cases arise from trauma in early childhood and the remaining cases all have a common factor of (probably inappropriate) attempts at therapy.
The differences between PTSD reaction & DID appear to be 1) the awareness or otherwise of the subject 2) the length of time the subject takes to deal with the crisis.
Is there an objective boundary between PTSD & DID?
What other defined differences exist between DID & PTSD?

I hear those voices, they were telling me to go back to work. They were telling me to stop worrying about death. Why do these voices and thoughts keep talking to me. They were telling me what to do with my life. And I ask what the meaning of life, they said I don't know. And when I ask what happens after we die, they say we just die.

What am I to do?

My dad had a stroke a couple days ago. He seems to have short term memory loss (but his long term memory is ok.) My mom says it's only temporary, but I've visited him three times and he doesn't seem to be getting better. I spoke to a doctor and he said it's unclear whether the memory loss is permanent. Does anyone know a stroke victim who has lost memory? Did the person ever recover his or her memory loss?

Here is my problem: I 17 years old. & graduated from high school last year, I am a fulltime college student (currently enrolled in 16 units), I work 32 hours a week, being a crying shoulder for my mom who found out my stepdad cheated on her, balancing a boyfriend of 2 years in with my crazy life & we constantly fight, & miss my dad who died when I was 8.

Everyday it seems like I add more and more to my list of things to do and I am going to snap. I have been in such a bad mood, always feeling tired, and blah and just sad. I dont know what is wrong with me?

I try to get the stress down by sitting in a hot bath, and the whole time i sit there i just think about all the things I have to do. HELP
