I work with a woman who seems really nice and chatty one minute, and literally the next minute she will start yelling really irrelevant personal abuse at you for no reason, then a few minutes later she will be sweet as pie again. I thought I was being bullied by her and told my boss - my boss says I am the 5th person to complain about her and that this woman will be fired within the next week. She is an intelligent person, in her mid 40's, Oxford graduate, lives alone no kids, but seems to be a bit nuts - what's the diagnosis?

I'm no Doctor or psychologist, but this sounds like ADHD, my little brother has it and hes the same, cept hes 15, although she could had a multiple personality.
Explain to her that your worried about her and ask her to go see a doctor, its admirable that you worry about a colleague like this, if it were a normal person, they woulda just screamed back and hit her... try this :) it might just go the way you want it. The sooner she gets a little help, the better for her job and her colleagues!

Stress? I think its a bit unfair for her to get sacked. Maybe the boss could talk to her. She may know she has a problem but doesnt have the confidence to get help. Maybe she doesnt know how/where to get help. A good boss would talk to her 1st

Yep it is melancholy and occasional self-well worth. there's no longer something in that individual's existence which makes them sense definitely satisfied and inspired. The capability is there it is in basic terms locked up. Socialising extra, eating healthful and workout are the main suitable ordinary tips on a thank you to help, yet even those you will no longer sense like doing till in spite of that's that's getting you down is taken care of. Is she lonely? upset approximately something, worried? go through rigidity? those issues get you down. some human beings have deep seated experience of loneliness and are very self unsleeping. they prefer an in depth dating, somebody who loves them and is comfortable to them to cause them to sense extra applicable. She probable would not ensue for the applying attempt and issues because of the fact she is so embarrassed and worried approximately performing in front of somebody. each and every thing makes her sense like she is on degree, and he or she is making a fool of herself. the shortcoming of venture with reference to the consequence of her strikes isn't actual, it is hopelessness.

She may be suffering from stress or some mental problem,like schizophrenic symptoms-or possibly some type of physical illness like a serious infection/disease.

it must be Tourettes syndrome
it is a mental disability
if this is what she has and your boss fires her
he will have one hell of a legal battle on his hands
