My son who is almost 13 was diagnose with dyspraxia at age 3 and ADHD at age 7. He has always had verbal outburtst often using inaporiate langue/swearing.

We have always tried to ingore these outbust in the hope that if we didnt respond he would stop but he hasnt, and when i asked him if he realised what he was sayin he said "that it just comes out" I honestly think at times he has no idea of what he is saying.

I have never heard of Verbal outburst being link to ADHD or Dyspraxia which makes me think he may have Tourettes Syndrome??

He take a slow relase form of ritalin and is regular monitored by a specialist nurse.

I am getting increasing concerned that as he gets older his "runnay mouth" is gonna get him into trouble.

Advice plz

I have finally admitted/realized my difficulties with these issues. I want to get help, but am not sure exactly what kind of drug I should try. Of course my Dr. will work with me on this decision but I would like to get some feedback from users. He previously put me on xanax for the anxiety and it definately lessened after popping the pill, but I don't like how it makes me feel fatigued and loopy. I realize there is no wonder drug but I would like to know if there is any one drug to combat all three conditions...anxiety, depression, and fatigue. All this, keeping in mind that I really don't want to have the sex drive or weight gain issues as I already have a low sex drive and have recently gained 10 pounds. Any HELP is appreciated...so while I do respect and usually agree with all you anti-medication people...I have made the decision to try some so please spare me your disapproving lectures. Please help! Thank you all!

I am looking for information about Schizophrenia. But I can't find any that isn't about paranoid schizophrenia.

I was diagnosed with it but all the info I find is about people who are paranoid schizophrenia.

I'm looking for websites that would have more info that would relate with my situation. Any links would be great

Thanks

What is the real cause that people feel boredom ? I am 21. I feel boredom all day long. I try to avoid it. I try to be creative but something holds me back. I feel lazy all day long but i don't want to. If i try to do any kind of job when i start in the first 1 minute i will be so bored i am unable to continue. I feel like i am losing all the power i have when i try to do something. I am so bored of my life that i stay whole weeks inside my home. Only surfing the net. I don't know why this is happening to me for the last 2 years my life. My mother does everything for me, i am even bored to make food to eat. I think i have some psychological problem. Should i go to a doctor ?

Having a hard time right now — and a lot of posted questions, so sorry if this seems redundant or pathetic, there are people in the world with much worse problems than mine, I know, but it's hard when you're in the center of your own disfunctional mind. I've been having high level anxiety related to upcoming job, decisions, etc, I'm trying to hold it all together but I need to do something tonight for me that would help — I'm kinda in a crisis. It's not just a matter of relaxing I guess, I need to solve something. What could I do? Sometimes it feels worse to talk about it to people, it feels like it makes stuff more 'real.'

I'm wearing the patch. Everything that's in my head, falls right ou tof my mouth. I feel like I can't stop it. Petrified I am going to say something off the wall to a client. I'm a pretty stoic woman and I don't cry. I can't stop now. Cried earlier about not finding a file. I'm on day 3 and I feel a mess. I am absolutely commited to quitting. I have been running and doing a bit of yoga and trying to keep my hands. How long will this last? Why am I emotional? Where is my net in my head that keeps things I shouldn't day in my head? What is causing this? I am prefectly miserable. Except the air. It's windy today and the air smell postively marvelous.

After be exhausted twice in the same week I took a 4 hour nap after school, woke up around 11 am worked till 3 am and then went back to sleep. For both days I had the same freaky, terrifying sleep experience.

Before going to sleep for a second time I feel this weird feeling like a big boom, and a loud noise. It startles me and then I eventually fall asleep. When I'm asleep the dream follows the same pattern. I am moving around my house or my room and sometimes in complete darkness trying my hardest to escape it, trying to open my eyes, with a very panicy feeling. I then can hear my own breathing, or feel my mouth being very dry. Eventually two narrow slits appear and I can see some light through them but still am trapped. In these dreams there are mirrors with reflections that don't make sense, I see things in them that aren't there, and for some reason I have uncontrollable laughter for no reason followed by acts of pure aggression.

Does anyone know what this is?

-I have to count EVERYTHING(like when i wash my hands, i have to count to two(washing them) and then drying them off i have to count to eight, and if i don't do it right i have to do it again.
-everything has to be evenly portioned out. Like if someone touched my right side, they HAVE to touch the left side, or if i say goodnight, the other people HAVE to say it back , or it feels wrong.
-i dunno...there are alot of things that i hae to do in order for it to feel right, like EVERYTHING has to be even.
-I'm terrified of odd numbers
-i count almost EVERYTHING out so it's even and if it's not, i make sure it is
Like these words on here i counted them out so they are even.

It's an older book but deals w/ Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and seems to have been written about the time when the disorder was really starting to gain acceptance in the medical community but before causes and treatments were well founded. I picked this up on, a hunch we'll say, as a means to better understand someone I know (not me, I assure you). It's scary how real this book is so far. Anyone have any experience with dealing w/ BPD? Before anyone answers, know that I want to stick this situation out. I have NO plans to cut and run. Also, thisd person hasn't told me anything specific but did tell me they went to counseling but never stuck w/ it. How detrimental could it be if I were to tell them, very unemotionally and unaccusingly that I thought I knew what was going on? They have hinted that there is a problem that they are aware of already and part of me senses that "letting the cat out of the bag" could really help (but I am VERY torn on that one).
