He's on meds but he still has the habit of buying things we don't need when we are in debt and don't have enough money for my necessary care and his together.

Apparently in my last question I didn't make myself completely clear. Answer all the questions! Why do people believe that putting man made chemicals into their bodies is the answer to mental health problems? Why do doctors put these chemicals into our bodies to cover up a problem instead of trying to find the real reason behind them and instead fixing them that way? Not chemical imbalance, no...that is a lie made up by doctors to help support pill pushing, what I am talking about is what the cause in everyday life is. Are doctors stupid? Not in the book sense but in common sense. Book smarts is not being smart if you don't have common sense to go with it. Now a new question. Why would you take a medication that alters your state of mind, basically what makes you, you?
Again answer all questions. Serious answers only.

then ditch the car and hike threw the mountains and never look back or be heard from again. I know this sounds selfish and maybe it is.

I have a 17 yr old autistic boy. About the middle of july of this yr, he started seing an evil wolf and it was coming in the window with its teeth showing. He was scared to death and crying and screaming for 4 nights in a row and I was about to fall on my face tired from all this. Now, again in the past week, the wolf came back and it was through the other window..he was again scared and cried. I sat with him and talked tohim and played music until he went to sleep. Last night, it was a big black and white cow and it was scarey and evil. I again sat with him, played gospel music on live365 until he went to sleep and he had the lite on again. I cant have the lite on as electricty is expensive. I Have a nite light for him on the wall every night. Today was complete hell. He told me while ago after my little girl and I were in total misery of his Shadows, he told me he had beenscared all day. I thought he sounded desperate.Will a proffesional in autism please tell me whats going on here?

I know one old man as well as hundreds more on the internet. They think you can find free energy if you just try harder. They spend like $2,000 on phony books plans and schemes trying to get free electricity with crackpot inventions. They never stop and no matter what pictures or new stories you show them they will never believe its fraud. They just say well it wasnt built right. Is this a mental illness? One plan was just copper wire around a plastic cereal bowl and this old man paid $70 for the plans.

I've found that I have SERIOUSLY bad short-term memory. I will literally find myself standing in the middle of a room without being able to remember what I got up for. I have a hard time remembering the names of celebrities, historical facts (big problem on tests!), things like that...It's gotten really worse in the past years...

this is a really big problem because my exam will be next week... monday!

help!

I was recently an inpatient in a private psychiatric hospital. Apart from doing a 'ward check' ( to make sure you are there), blood pressure, temp, and hand out meds - thtat was IT. I know they are not social workers or psychiatrists but..... I know they have to do patient notes and paper work, but for goodness sake surely there more they should be doing to assist a patients wellbeing?..

right now i'm a student, it's just too much stress if i work part time as well.
I feel like a bum, it's not that i want to stuff, i need certain things.
I try to think of it as a period that will pass and then i'll be able to, but i can't help thinking about it. I'm starting to think there is more happiness with money.

I have recentley starting seeing a psychologist about an eating disorder bullimia/anorexia. My parents are not happen that I have this problem, I refuse to talk to them about it. I told my youth minister along time ago and then eventually she felt like she had to tell my parents. But anyways I have been so unhappy latley me and my parents have this awkward relationship now and everything at school seems to be a mess. I thought of taking a bunch of pills last night and just ending it all. I know this sounds awful. I didn't do it. I talked to my youth minister. I am 15 almost 16 years old. I am a girl 5'4 and a half and between 103-106lbs. I don't like my weight but yeah I have an eating disorder. And just so you know I didn't ask for an eating disorder. Things happen. But its hurts so bad everyday..just to get throught. Yes I do have so really good days but then there are those horrible ones. So can anyone help me?

My girlfriend has an unsecured graduate loan which was taken out a couple of years before she met me. I have known her 2 years. She has got herself in a bit of a financial pickle when she recently lost her job and she has now been sectioned under the mental health act for harassment, and as I am living with her (not married) I am wondering if I am liable to make the repayments? I am worried about the prospect of bailiffs at the door. Can someone advise. Thanks. I am in the UK. Very Worried. :(

Do I go to my normal doctor? What should I say, I think I have add? It's so hard for me to focus. I dont have to always be doing something like tapping my feet but I can't ever focus and my mind drifts all the time. I took a screening and it said I definitely have adult add but it wasn't a real diagnosis.

How do I go about trying to get treated for it because its beginning to affect my school work quite terribly.

Alright, I have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, and my psychiatrist decided that Seroquel was the best thing for me... Needless to say after more than a year of taking it I can not describe how much I hate my psychiatrist. Not only am I at risk of getting diabetes/hypoglycemia because of this medication, I also developed insomnia from it. I can't sleep without it. I've gone two days without and nothing else I took could make me sleep.

This medication did nothing for my OCPD... nothing at all. All it did was give me insomnia. Nothing else. And now I've tried so hard to get off of it but I can't. Can someone please, please, please give me some guidance. I need off of this medication as soon as I possibly can so I can sleep like a normal person again. I can't describe to you the toll it has taken on my life.

I know my questions seems like an oxy-moron but I don't know how else to put it. I've felt the same way for about 5 years now. Most the time i feel like I will never accomplish anything, but for some reason I have no issue with this. It feels like I'm being wasteful for not acting on my feelings. Wasn't it the native americans that walked into the forest to die when they could no longer help the tribe?

Is it the same concept?
No worries, just need some input.

feeling like I at my end. I won't even try to go into all the details that have happened over the last 3 yrs. My question is how do I get out of this? I ALWAYS end up giving in and taking him back. We have a beautiful18 month baby girl together and that is part of the reason I'm still here. I do love him but, know that this is not healthy for me, him and most important our baby. I know that I am co-dependent and I just don't know how to make myself do what I need to for my own mental health and to stick with it. I don't want my daughter to grow up in this type of atmosphere. His words to me were that she is young and she would grow up just knowing that this is how he is?!?! HELP!!

it's hard to believe that just a month ago i was excited about life, looking forward to my future and my career. now i am SO down and depressed that i don't care anymore, i just want to go to sleep and that's it. i have no ambition to do anything. i'm already on an anxiety/anti-depression medication, so is it all just hopeless for me? i'm about to give up, because even when things start to get better, i know i'll always end up back at this low point eventually.
