Mental Health - February 2007

What does it mean when a person talks in their sleep all of the time?
One of my relatives is eleven yrs old. For the past couple of months he has been talking in his sleep every night. He has never usually talked in his sleep before.
Also nothing life changing or anything has occured in his life to cause him any emotional stress. He is pritty much a happy guy.

I feel like a wave comes over me. Seconds later, the sounds goes down, my fingers tingle, a vein in my left arm pulses, and I feel like I’m about to pass out. I’m enveloped with fear. This lasts for about 30 seconds or so. I’ve been to the doctor. They did an EKG. They say my heart is fine. It feels as though adrenalin is pumping through my body. I felt that sensation 4 times in about two hours. Once while I was driving. They come on all of the sudden when I’m not even worked up about anything. What is wrong with me? Has anyone else out there experiences the same? Which drugs helped?. I’ve tried Wellbutrin but that doesn’t seem to help much. Thoughts???

lets take this week for example:
like sunday-thursday i was very depressed. i go to the gym for that

today (friday). i was incredibly happy and energetic.

nothing caused the change but i was depressed for countless reasons. this happens a lot and i do have mood swings but im still not clear whether i am a bi-polar or not. weird thing is almost always around my friends i am a happy laughy person, even though i have a lot of anger bottled up inside of me.

should I get on medication for this or not? I've had lots of people say No, that medication 4 these things is just drugging you up and keeping you from who you really are. But I am to the point where nothing else has fully worked for me, and I can't seem to get back to the way I was. The doctor said I should get on medication for it, I'm just worried it won't work and I will be even worse or something, what do you think? Has it worked for you or anyone you know???

My mother in law was recently in an inpatient mental facility. The doctor they had on call was ignorant and was going to release her even though she was suicidal. We convinced him that it was not a good idea. Anyway, to summarize my question--he prescribed Ativan & Lexapro as well as a few other things. I thought that the two meds. had a counter-effect on each other, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on this. Thanks!

If you have ever seen one of those forensic files or murder shows, you might have picked up that (please don't be offended guys) a large portion of the murderers are men. My father is as creepy as one of those guys. He is a lying, manipulating sociopath that ruined our family. He did a lot of emotional damage. He moved out last year though. He left me with bipolar and I am starting to think he left my sister OCD or schrizophebia. I am not sure though, so please judge from what I am about to tell you:

1)She is afraid that he is in a closet or in the shower hiding. She is afraid he is looking in the window about to shoot a bullet through the glass.
2)He is hiding in a room with lights off.
3)She is afraid he will break into the house and set up cameras or recorders.
4)She hears whistling and noises that aren't really there.
5)If she turns really quickly, she says she sees his shadow which of course, isn't there.

None of these things have actually happened but she is terrified.

I have separation anxiety and I am almost 25 years old! Wait- It gets worse. I get mildly anxious with change and am completely normal about leaving friends and family. But I have a difficult time leaving my dog! Going to work is fine but going out late with friends or traveling is just painful for me!! I have had my dog for almost six years now. Friends and boyfriends have come and gone but I have always had my dog. I think that's why he means so much to me!! (Plus I have a family history of anxiety disorders.) Please, Any suggestions on managing this??

My 85 year old grandmother is being verbally abusive toward me. She sends me hate mail and writes horrible things about my sister and parents to me. All of this started when her daughter, my aunt, died from cancer and now it is getting worse. She wont let anyone see or speak with my 93 year old grandpa, and we fear that she is abusing him too. Should I try and have a relationship with her or just move on? I feel guilty that I am not trying harder to "fix" what has happened, but it is out of my hands (nobody can undue death). Any advice?

I have horrible anixety and have taken two Xanax's. However, I just want to sleep right now, can I take Valerian in addition? It's an over the counter "vitamin" for healthy sleep and relaxation.
Thank you.

Assertive and to have more faith in yourself.
I think I am an average smarts guy, maybe more but here is the thing.
Some times i know I am right on something, but i still keep an open mind that there could a chance that i could be wrong. But i feel like people are taking advantage of this.
Some times what people say makes me doubt my self so much, that i think i can be wrong.
What can I do to make my self have less doubt and have more faith in my self, because i think that is holding me back from doing great things in life.

(you can be helping someone change their life here, so please give thoughtful answers, but all answers are welcomed thanks)

I have a good friend that was drugged and raped in 2004, she was drugged using GHB and/or ecstacy. She has since been having adverse reaction to PTSD meds like topamax, lexapro, etc. Can date rape drugs cause a chemical imbalance in the brain and what can she do to deal with the PTSD without having the adverse reactions?

The other day I mentioned how I was on Cymbalta and have just come off of it. I've been experiencing more frequent brain zaps and now I feel a bit nauseated and dizzy. If I knew coming off of anti-depressants was so rough I would have opted for something else. I read that the zaps will subside after awhile but I want this to stop now. My Dr. asks if I wanted more meds but I don't and don't think I need them. Short of suffering is there anything I can do to speed up the coming down process? Come to think of it the Cymbalta was okay, I wasn't as depressed as before but I don't think I'll never take another anti-d again. Next time I'll try prayer or meditation, etc. Any advice. Thanks.

I have been so sad and depressed lately. At school my teacher asked me what was wrong and even told me I looked depressed. I told her I was fine even though I was hurt on the inside. She sent me to the counselor and I told her I was fine too. She didn't believe me but I wouldn't break down and tell her. She only let me go because I had good grades and couldn't think of anything else to do. My teacher hasn't said anything to me sense. Now I wish she would. Now I just want help. I don't care what I have to do. I just don't want to go to her and tell her because I am too shy but I do want her help. She was the only one of my teachers smart enough to know I was depressed. I not close enough to my parents to just come straight out and tell them. I don't know what to do anymore. I am afraid if I don't get help, I will do something stupid and hurt myself. Please give me suggestions on what to say to my teacher or how to get her help.
