I know this person who has PTSD and they would like to work. they go alright for a few weeks but they dont complete anything and often have issues with other employees. Will this behaviour continue or is there a drug that will tone down the symptoms and make them more employable. They seem to have a complex form

I I just need to know. Is there anyone out there that has any suggestions on how to communicate with family members that have passed on. Or if there is a web site that can guide me.
I have tried in the past through dreams and meditation. But nothing. Do they have the power to say no to us ? Mabey she just knows its better not too. But of course I miss her and need her at this time in my life. It would be nice to know if I could just get her a message. Any suggestions ? Please do not repley if you are just joking as I am not.

I have been diagnosed with OCD and depression.
Query Psychosis/Schizophrenia/Bipolar/ADD.
I have been on Aropax, Luvox, Zoloft, and am still currently on Clomipramine (175mg a day). I'm also on Seroquel 600mg a day. And Serepax 30mg twice a day. None of these medications have worked. I am getting very desperate now. What anti-psychotics would be helpful in augmentation? Could mood stabilisers be helpful? Off label investigational/selfmedicational drugs? I really really need help. I can't even leave the house. Both parents have washed their hands of me. I've got no house, no car, no money, no job. Can someone please reply to this with as much of their knowledge as possible? I am in a very bad way. And the future is looking bad. Why aren't my medications working? Why do they all make my symptoms worse? Could their be an organic problem which is causing this disturbance, therefore, not allowing the drugs to work? Please! I need an answer. I think I'm going to go over...

I have been suffering from OCD fear of HIV contamination for four straight years. I have been treated by three physicians and given several medications, but the fear still persists.

I am so terrified that I am practically paralyzed. I don't have any friends, I can barely function at work, and I spend most of my time at home, alone worrying I have HIV and will give it to others. The only time I leave my house is to go to work and do necessary shopping.

This is all despite me being a 24 year old virgin, who has never used drugs or had a blood transfusion. I've also tested negative 3 times. Am I hopeless?

I've been asked many times to define schizophrenia and i really honestly don't know. I asked my dad and he said psychosis is a multiple personality disorder. I honestly don't know, can you help?

I'm such a worry wart, I have ulsars in my mouth. I can't help but say "sorry" when I do anything, even when nobody reacts to what I do in a good, or even bad way. I don't want to say anything to my doctor, she might give me ANOTHER medication, & make an appointment with a councelor. I think ALWAYS of my mistakes, eventhough I learned from them already.

Like if someone is hyper people are always like "omg do you have ADD?
Maybe someone is just hyper. And just because someone isn't good at school doesn't mean they have adhd...

Do THAT many people really have adhd? is add/adhd mistaken a lot?

I'm afraid for my nephew, and action MUST be taken. If I can't cure him, the embarrasment to my family's prestigious name may force other family members to physically harm him.

my basketball tryout is this friday and i'm so nervous for it. i alwayz get nervous when an event is going to happen. i know that i'm going to make it to the team for sure but i'm just nervous. whenever i'm nervous i alwayz vomit like the time wen i was in 4th grade in everyplay i would vomit and it was so embarassing. and i don't know how to stop it. so my questions is how do i stay calm so i don't puke in front of everyone in the tryout? also, wenever i'm too tired i alwayz puke too and that is a problem because in a basketball game it requires u to run back and forth i can do that but if it is too long i'll gag. so how do i stop all this? what's wrong wit my body?? i can do all of thi sfine with my friends but just not in front of 100 or more people looking at me. i only puke wenever there is pressure on me like wen everyone is looking at me and that makes me nervous therefor puke. and i'm not going to quit the team. thanks for all the advices

The very first time you went to counceling!.. what did you speak about?
who choses what you talk about? or is it all questions?

do you need to tell them your full life story, where to begin?

please answer?

ok i know people do have attention disorders

but dont u think its very easy for a doctor to say hes got adhd or something and stick a kid on medication than to investigate whats really wrong

this is what r.d.laing was on about which leads me into anti-psychiatry which come close to scientology, however scentologists are crazy and take laings views to an extreme much like hitler with neitzche

It has only happened twice in my life. It almost feels as if there is a force on top of you, holding you down and you can't breath or move, you feel numb. You try to scream and when you do, your mouth is closed. This happened to me about 5 years ago then again last week. When I did scream, I woke up but I was screaming with my mouth closed. It's just strange. Anyone know what this might be?? Does it have to do with being in a deep sleep??

My beautiful wife is full time stay home mom to 3 wonderful (but often stress causing) kids, and she's taking classes part time.

I work zillion hours a week to make ends meet, and as much as i try, I don't do enough around the house to make her job any easier.

She's showing many signs of depression... low energy, short fuse with the kids, body aches etc.. could she be going through postpartum depression, or could this be depression unrelated to having a baby, exactly a year ago?

Some of my friends say that I don't have any emotions or feelings, but hate and rage. I agree with them on that. Then they say that I am going to become a serial killer when I grow up. I say, "You know, I wouldn't be shocked if I did."

Do I need help?
