My sister is constantly twitching her hands and she always has to be holding something in them. she loves to fold up paper in small pieces and sometimes she feels she has to tear it up. If there is nothing around for her to hold she will rub her knee or something, what could this be?

Does anyone know roughly how long you should be taking this drug before you feel any benefit? I'm on my 3rd month now, and nothing seems to be helping. My GP says to stick with it, it can take up to 4 months......really?

If you've ever had a bad experience can hypnosis erase that experience?

......there will be certain people, usually at work, who will probably always be at least a little uncomfortable around me. I just left a job because I was being bullied. I have decided not to ever be bullied again, at all costs, even if I have to bully a (verified) bully back. It's my nature to be passive-aggressive. What can I expect from changing to an assertive-aggressive approach to people?

I'm 15 years old . I'm always thinking of death because I realized that it chooses people randomly. Whenever they tell me that somebody died I become very scared , I get a shortness of breath and a pounding heart . And whenever the telephone rings I directly think that somebody calls to tell us that there is someone who died. Morover whenever I have any feeling I think that I'm dying or my death is comming soon. can I get over all that?

I'm so fed up with life..I'm in my mid twenties, and ever since I've turned 20 life has been an uphill battle.. I graduated from college, hated my career, got in serious credit card debt, father passed away unexpectantly, and now living with my Mom while working on another degree.. I have very few friends, and the ones I do are an hour away or more.. I feel like I missed the boat, while everyone is having a house a family, and career. I'm just stuck. Ihave no one to talk to. My mom breaks down and cries everytime I say I'm sad... she's like why I don't have a good life either. I went thru the depression bit, was on meds for two years and then gained 60 ibs.. i feel i don't have a good support network, and I'm afraid it won't get better.. i feel like i'm destined to be unhappy the rest of my life.. what if I don't like the next career, I just want to be happy..it's like I can't get off this merry go round

This question is for the mental health pros out there. Why is it that a large percentage of young people who ask for mental health help here, are diagnosed with Bi-polar Disorder? I work as a substance abuse counsellor for dually diagnosed clients at a private facility and I'm trained to efficiently use the DSM-IV. I know that meeting the criteria for bi-polar is not a slam-dunk for adults, so why are so many adols. being diagnosed with it. Has it become some kind of catch-all for lazy workers who don't wish to spend the time required to make a proper diagnosis? I have a little experience with adols. and realize they can be difficult to work with. If all these diagnosis are legit, then bi-polar in children is reaching epidemic proportions and we should find out why. Labeling a child bi-polar can have devistating results later in life. It's as hard to shake as schizophrenia. Honest, civil replies only, please.

hi,i am varun.i have been stammering when i was in 5th class and now i am Business Management(P.G) but i haven't got rid of this bad thing.i am really ashamed of it and beacause of it i can not participate in any of the seminars,group discussions etc.etc.I am very angry with myself.Once i went to a speech therapist and she said mine stuttering was not genetical or because of some vocal disfunction and it will go away automatically with time, but mine condition remains the same.Now there is no courage in me to talk with strangers,friends or even my family.I am sure that you people can surely help me out,i will be very greatful to you if you can get me out of this curse.waiting eagerly for your reply!

I'm suffering from some kind of insomnia again. Not sure if it's the diagnosable kind, but I do know I can't bring myself to go to bed...because I've tried before when I was like this (extremely tired but high-strung still), and I would just lay there for the entire night cursing at myself for not getting to sleep.

Very inconvenient as a college student. Sleep is required for effective study.
Ahhh!

Here is my deal. I have been diagnosed with BiPolar, agrophobia, panic attacks and ADD. It has gotten to the point to where I maybe get out of the house 2 times a week and that is only if I am with my husband. I am to the point where I don't even get dressed during the day, my body is so off wack that my body can't tell day from night as far as sleeping. It has never been this bad and I don't know what to do. It is like I have nothing to look forward to anymore, nothing I want to do, nowhere I want to go. It has gotten to where I don't cook anymore and just clean the house enough to where it is livable.

I am stuck in this rut and truly don't know how to get out of it. I am on Social Security Disability, I medically retired early. I have been going to therapy for years now and am on medication to treat the BiPolar. I am scared to death to go out in public without anyone for fear I will have a panic attack. Any suggestions?

In high school some lady said i had OCD i never went to a psychiatrist to check it out because i only found out a few months back...

here are my symptoms...

1. i'll say a word then repeat it a few times under my breath

2. when i go out i almost always change my clothes a few times and i look at myself in the mirror..sometimes 20-30 times to see if i look good enough to go outside or something its kind of weird

3. whenever i write some like this question or an sms i redo it like 3-4 times if i think it doesnt look good
i've redone this twice now...

4.i've noticed i say sorry ALOT!

5. whenever i get invited out i make up something to get out of it.. because i think something bad will happen...

tell me if you think i do have it..?

ive wondered if i do have anxiety? im not sure? all i know is sometimes i am stressed out, thinking about things a lot before i got to bed.. but falling asleep shortly... sometimes i wonder if ive said dumb things... but dont we all do that? and when i do stay up a little later thinking, it's because i have lots of bills to pay and am so young. sometimes i feel happier than others but i dont think its bi-polar. i think this is normal. but i'm not sure if im ignoring an anxiety dis-order? or something else that could hurt me later on because it wasnt treated?
