I once heard a radio program on radio 4, which discussed the Experiences of Mohamed in the desert, when he spoke to the Angel Gabriel.
Mohammed was described as undergoing a trance like state where he started to sweat profusely and started to rock to and fro(as muslims practise today while they pray), he then started hearing the voice of either Allah or the angel Gabriel.
This obviously sounded like the symtoms of schizophrenia, since at that time I was working as a community mental heath assistant, caring for people who suffer from schizophrenia.
A large percentage of people who suffer from Schizophrenia have religious based phychosis, and delusions, believing they can talk to god.
Do you not believe that it could be a possiblility that Mohammed could have been Schiznophrenic due to the simple fact that it could not be diagosed as an illness but was seen by the people of that time as a characteristic of a prophet.
Therefore one mans delusion has become a world wide illusion.

My borderline friend is sucking the life out of me, i don't know how i can keep going. it hurts so deeply. it hurts knowing how much pain she is and not being able to do anything to take her pain away for her. her lies, accusations and anger hurt. The constant bitterness and resentment she has toward me for trying to help. But mostly the blame. i am falling apart i feel like i'm on the edge and soon i'll fall. She is sucking the life out of me. I love her so much but i'm falling. i don't want to walk away from her, yes i have thought about it, it would be so much easier, but i don't want to and more than that i can't abandon her i care about her too much to just walk away. I'm already seeing a counsellor, though i don't know if it's doing much. I am still feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. I feel helpess and depressed. Please tell me what i can to. i can't walk away from her and counselling isn't working for me. help

I am on Lexapro 20 mg.. I cannot sleep at all now. My doctor prescribed trazodone 50mg. Is it safe to mix the two together.
I know they are both anti depressants. I mean, I want to trust my doc, but sometimes they get pill happy.....

Please, if you don't have enough empathy to understand my problem, either don't answer it or if you do answer it don't answer with no empathy. I am 18 years old, and I come from a wonderful family. Yet I have isolated myself from them. They don't understand me. Unfortunately, I feel I have depression. As a young boy, I didn't really socialize in High school. I moved from Iran Sophmore year. Did not have many friends because my English wasn't well. It took me 2 years to learn the god damn English language. After going through ruff times, I finally adapted myself to the American society. Problems: I am a shy boy, I hide in my shell of sorrow. Yet I have a heart worth more than jewlery. How do I find someone to share my tresure with? There are times when I get signals of interest from women I like, yet I am too big of a coward to act . I haven't officially recieved a notice from doctor that I have depression but I think I do. What do you think? If I do, how do I solve my problem?

How did you cope then and now? Did you get professional counseling? Do you have and psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc? Did you break connections with the family that abused you?

Over the last month 9 teenages have committed suicide in the last month in my city (30,000people). It seems everyone knows someone here who has done it. I knew 2. We are on school hoildays now so people aren't getting support from people they could normally talk to. What can I do to help my friends? Because i know they are all upset and I don't think we can handle losing anyone else. Please help

Lately I have been having some serious trouble with anger, it seems like the smallest most insignificant things can set me off. I haven't gotten physical but everytime anyone/anything annoys me I feel like smacking the hell out of everyone in sight. I am afraid I might hurt someone soon. I have very high blood pressure and lately things at my house have been really hectic and the stress just seems to be piling up and I don't think I am going to be able to take it for much longer. I really think I might do something I will regret unless I figure out how to relieve my anger/stress.

What should I do?

I really don't want to go to therapy or anger management classes but I will if there is nothing else I can do. Btw I am a 17 year old male.

Everyday I am tired, not in the sleep deprived sense, but just emtionally and mentally. Its just depressing looking at everyone in my school and seeing how great they got it, knowing their daddy bought them a spot in college. I've been thinking about walking into traffic or something like that. I don't know if I can keep on going. I just dont see any point in try to continue. Any ideas on what is should try or do? Also is it wrong to pray to God for him to kill you? If anyone says anythign drug related I will jump onto the freeway. if this is auto resloved, assume the worst.

When I was in high school I would get such bad anxiety before my class that I would often get stomach cramps and have to leave school. Now a couple years later I feel intense anxiety when I have to work, meet new people or am somewhere with a lot of people. The only way I can describe the feeling is that of which many people get before public speaking but much more intense. Does anyone have any ideas?

Everyone gets to feeling down from time to time, but how we deal with it is what really matters. What tips do you have for anyone dealing with depression in a more positive manner?

I am usually a very cheerful, happy guy. But when I get depressed, usually I'm just feeling sorry for myself, or only wishing things could be better than what they are at the time. Most often, my way of snapping out of it is to talk to a friend or even a co-worker and 99% of the time I feel much better.

I've been wearing long sleeves so they don't see, but we're going someplace warm for winter break so if I wear long sleeves all the time they'll notice that something's weird, and my mum's a psychologist so I think she'll even figure out what I'm hiding. I haven't cut in almost a week cause I'm scared for the marks to still be there, but I don't think they'll be all the way gone all way gone in time. What can I do?

And any suggests for how to make it easier to not cut? Cause it'a really hard and I can't stop thinking about it.
