Mental Health - July 2007

Whats with people who constantly brag or always mention that they are depressed (clinicaly or non clinically) or have ADD/ADHD or are bi polar? Why do people talk proudly about taking medication for certain mental habits/disorders? Is it just their way of showing the world they're trying to heal or do they just want the 'oh poor you' attention?

"Lanky manic depressives will take much longer to improve than the plump ones, and also have a lower resistance to the stresses and strain of life, after recovery. in good health also the same rule applies- a lanky, highly intellectual but poorly physically developed subject is more prone to breaking down under stress than an average built or even a fat subject would" (psychiatry for medical under graduates by Roshen Master, page 66)

They will not suspend me or they will lose their 'protection' money. I cannot keep asking goofy questions to slow the process. Furthermore, my answers keep getting picked as 'Best Answers'. Hence, I am, even more screwed.

Eventually I will hit level 5 and fall into a higher tax bracket. How can I stop this from happening? What should I do when the bell finally tolls and the ball drops?

I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and often get fired. My symptoms is that I keep on checking things over and over again. For example, I keep on checking the door lock and light switch over and over again to see if it locked properly, so that I get a right feeling that it closed properly.

people in your life you choose or accept? you only want to have certain people around you who think the same way?

plus i find myself getting angry at people trying to talk to me or be around me who i dont want to associate with....
iam of french, german and native american heratage but live in england, i dont want to stay here and i want to emigrate...but i also have borderline personality disorder and im waiting for therapy, so i cant just move away right now so i feel trapped and frustrated, because i dont want to be here in england...but i have issues to address & cannot just leave like id want...
i get angry though, when i have common low life british people, who feel they want to relate to me or be friends with me or want, for some reason to take interest in my life...this makes me angry,because i only want friends and to associate with people who are like me only & think like me...ideally i would emigrate & only have people around me i choose...so how can i deal with these

When I'm waiting for the elevator to come, I imagine what would happen if I went to step in it after the doors were opened, yet there was no car there. Or when I see a new highrise apartment building being built, I imagine if I lived there and forgot to lock my doors and my kids got on the patio and fell off. Is there a word for this? I'm not suicidal or depressed at all--I'm actually quite content with my life. Why do I have these morbid and depressing thoughts? Does anyone else think like this? It isn't all the time--just every now and again.

I feel that I have become too logical. I tend to think too much about the things in life that require very little thinking. To me, sleeping is not "Lie in bed, fall asleep, dream, and wake up." My version of sleep is "Lie down on the bed, find a comfortable position, close my eyes, focus on nothingness, wait for a few minutes, sleep, wake up, think about last night, and finally start my day."

When someone looks out a window, he or she might see a tree. It is there to that person. The person has no further questions.

If I saw the same tree, I would know that it is a tree, but I would begin to think about what type of tree it is. I would think of the animals that could live in it. I might compare it with other trees in the area. I also might think about what problems the tree could cause and how to solve the problems.

Am I over logical?

Hi, I'm actually from a super-nice family, and there's no reason I should be this way, but I guess for every lottery winner, there is probably the same number of ppl with a cursing personality disorder.

Well I got one of the worst. I speculate the philosophy of life, and here's my question for answer.

What would you do, if you woke up and contrary to the past of your life, today and everyday from now on, you'll have anti-social personality disorder, and you're very cruel to others if it involves personal gain. You have no empathy, and you're heartless and driven by vain goals (power, money, hot girls).

It sucks, but my answer is that you have to utilize it, but feel sorry for yourself occasionally.

I'm responsible for a TON of misery and pain and suffering of other people, even indirectly the loss and creation (1 each) of a life.

What would you do if you were me, and you were hated by everyone (if only hated on a subconscious level).

I am witing something freelance and just wondering if anyone can give me an addequite difference between drug abuse and drug addiction.

The definition of an addict is: 1. To cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance
2. To occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively

Definition of drug abuse: he use of illegal drugs or the inappropriate use of legal drugs. The repeated use of drugs to produce pleasure, to alleviate stress, or to alter or avoid reality (or all three).


The use of a drug for a purpose other than that for which it is normally prescribed or recommended.


the habitual misuse of a chemical substance

They are very similar definitions. Almost the same.

Why are people either classified as a drug abuser or a drug addict? Drug abusers don't usually get the intese care an addict does. Remember, the definition for addic includes psychological addiction... not just physical.
