How would you identify someone who is emotionally disturbed (not mentally) ?

Question

How do people suffering from it hide it ?

Answer 1

I suffer with depression. I can hide it well. Its hard though because inside you can be a emotional wreck. Also, you really dont want anyone to know that you are mentally ill because people take that - depression- as a sign of weakness. Of course its not. Its a illness just like diabetes, highblood pressure, etc.

People who are depressed, etc are often extra happy - outside persona, they life of the party, the go-getter. Just anyone that is always smiling, happy, and it seems like nothing bothers them. They are emotionally disturbed. Its all about "hiding" you real self so know one will know what's going on with you.

Answer 2

Typically emotional disturbances are not too hidden. The nature of emotions are the outward display of internal feelings and while there are those who "keep things in" I think the bulk of the emotionally disturbed would tend to make their feelings known, either appropriately or inappropriately.

It would largely depend on the specific illness to which you refer.

Answer 3

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Most people are emotionally disturbed: frustrated (vexed) by all the crap going on in the world around them: epidemic fear(hath torment), wars, gov't and religious $candals, religious divisions, climate change, etc.

The biblical Pauline exhortation concerning such is: "be angry, and sin(law) not". For as Solomon the wise guy noted: it's "all vanity and vexation(frsutration) of spirit", and what he was referring to is the law, which is unfair, unjust, partial, faulty.

Sadly many have been told they should not be angry, and keep their anger within, rather than letting it be expressed. Eventually it results in an explosion of uncontrolled anger (eg: school shootings), or in physical and/or mental illness.

According to a recent Harvard Medical Survey many (over 25%) of Americans are also mentally disturbed: mentally ill to the point of being both diagnosed and treated for it. Medical Experts also suspect another 30% of Americans are mentally ill (primarily bi-polar dis-order) but are not yet diagnosed or being treated for it. So the potential exists for over 50% (over 150 million) of Americans being mentally ill.

What many so-called experts fail to comprehend is the root source of all emotional and mental disturbances and dis-orders is the law. Only law imputes sin, death, and hell. Law also worketh wrath, not peace. Hence grace and truth came by Jesus Christ to replace (not be mixed with) the law and lie of Moses. For law and grace are "contrary things". Contrary things only mix to make one thing: an oxyMORON, such as "one proselyte", which is biblically "twofold": "more the child of hell" than former Pharisees, scribes, fools, hypocrites, vipers, and blind guides who notably sat in Moses' seat: Law (Matthew 23).

So "the end" we are biblically exhorted to "endure unto" to be saved(graced) only (rather than saved + destroyed after by grace + law) is "the end of the law", which "Christ" of "Jesus Christ" is: Romans 10:4. Hence peace with God and eternal salvation are notably "through Jesus -> Christ" which ends with Christ. And the end already written in the Bible is notably "the token in every (Pauline) epistle", including Hebrews and Revelation which Paul writes and sign-ifies it with the end written by his own hand (as thrice told us in 1Cor 16; Col 4; 2Thess 3). Such ending (conclusion) is biblically called the "last trump" it, which is played by "his angel": Paul The Apostle: "his witness unto all men":

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
