Mental Questions and Answers
What is mental disturbance?my son was diagnosed just recently but the dr didnt really go into much detail.?
Answers: It could be absolutle anything, but it just means that your son needs some help with figuring out some things in life. The doctor probably doesn't know which of the many possibilites is actually happening, so why get you all upset over things that aren't even close to being true?
The doctor should at least tell you if the troubles are more about fears, or testtaking, or listening problems, where he just can't understand what is being said or done, so he takes things all wrong.
Your boy is going to be OK.
I would say the doctor wasn't very helpful. If you went to a doctor for what you thought was a physical problem and he said it was a mental disturbance, he should have referred you to mental health. If he didn't, call on your own to see if you can get your son in to see what is happening.
Does anyone know what can cause someone to lose memory of the last several hours and where they are?
my girlfriend and i are both college students hundreds of miles apart. she is a completely normal and healthy girl, but on an average of about once per year she will suddenly completely lose her memory of the last few hours and temporarily forget where she is. this is very scarry becasue she finds herself in a state of panic with no idea what has been going on or where she is. these episodes have been rare and only one at a time until tonight it happened to her once and later called me. during our talk it happened again and she asked how long we had been talking and started to cry. i know virtaully nothing about what is happening other then what i have said, all i know is the thought of this happening to her when she is driving or doing something like that scares me to death. if anyone is familiar with this at all please tell me what you know or where i can go to learn what is happening to her.Answers: It may be a form of seizure disorder or even a mini-stroke. I recommend a neurologist immediately.
I'd have to say possibly a seizure. I had a roommate in college who would have grand-mal seizures and not remember hours while she was in the recovery phase. General or focal seizure are a lot less grand and can often go missed. She should talk to her doctor, possibly a neurologist.
What should i do regarding my job?
This is my first job in life. I am stressed out to the max with the kind of people I work with. I love the company and I have the strong intention to get the company into a good position. But the people are very rude and they bully me because I am the youngest. I am also naive with them and it's so hard. I dont know I no longer want to stay in the job. But I don't want to let my boss feel helpless. I don't like to do this job also because of the kind of society I am living in. I have to talk a lot with the people to promote the products of my company. But men, ( not guys of my age ) mistake me that I am pushy and ready to do anything with them. It's hard because even when I am not in my office they come to talk to me and do all kind of htings. This job also affects my personal life a lot that way. The thing is I am scared to resign as this is my first job and the boss expects a lot from me. But I am pretty sure with my qualifications I can get into another job. What should I do?Answers: I think you will always have to deal with a certain amount of bullsh@t at any job you go to. I am in the same situation at my job too, so maybe i can help us both. One thing i learned a long time ago is that misery loves company-so if all these other people are giving you a really hard time, they just want you to be as miserable as them-But if you truly feel you can get a better job somewhere else with ease I would probably do that-But then its like you let them win, they got the best of you-as long as you are ok with that then-go ahead and do it-One of the most important things is life is happiness-its priceless...Try to find that special job that does it for you. If you can be happy at work, you will have the true American Dream!
Bullying in the work place is against the law. U really must speak up if you feel they are being unkind to you. If you have a health and safety or human resources mananger you can talk to i seriously would.
Don't leave your job because of them, go through the proper channels and have them for harassment
I would start looking for a new job. The enviroment can give you unlimited stress.
The other factors your mentioned come with all jobs. When you work with other people in offices there is drama and office politics. Best to stay out of politics. Come to work, fly under the radar, get your work done and leave.
Jobs, are meant be like this. I have never heard of any new hire( particularly young) has been welcomed and treated well in a company. If you like the job, profile, if this is the kind of stuff you want to do, then stick it out. I mean just hang on to iy. Try to find new ways to interest your bosses. See what they would like to talk about, touch on those topics, wish them everyday with a bright smile. These are things which you are supposed to learn as part of your job. Nobody else can teach you all these things. Things wont be better with any other job.
A few more months and I bet you will get used to it.,
Just hang in there.
- K
Look for another job.
You can keep this one while you do that.
And knowing that you are looking will free you from a lot of stress.
It really sounds like a bad place to work.
Go on with your life.
Stand up for yourself. If you feel you are getting harassed ,tell them to their face. They will respect you for standing up for yourself.
As soon as you grow a backbone you will be fine. Those guys are just testing you to see how far they can push you.
Barney's advice is bad,the first guy who answered you. Don't listen to him. If you run away every time you are challenged you will be running the rest of your life.
I would quit. It isn't your responsibility to protect your boss. He'll carry on. Get another job. That is a ridiculous situation. You'll do well.
I need more information concerning Bipolar Disorder vs. Borderline Personality Disorder. Difference?
I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (with associated illness) 5years ago, however another psychiatrist disagrees with my first diagnoses. He believes that I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I have been taking medication for these past five years and I'm quite happy that there are no side effects although I do still struggle (which "I think?" is normal. I have researched BPD further and now I am really confused. I'm not able to see another psychiatrist for a third opinion as I am in a country where Mental illness is a major taboo and a big hsshh. So, I am unable to continue with follow ups for the time being. Anyways, I'd really appreciate any information that would give me a more clear understanding of a distinct difference between the two. Thank you.Answers: With borderline, people are often very needy, may be manipulative, and have a poor sense of self (for example, to describe myself, I would say I am a strong advocate of social justice, need to be creative, value intellectual exchange, am altruistic, and have fairly rigid standards of right and wrong. These core parts of me vary only slightly over time). Other people are all good or all bad, and your opinion may vary dramatically from one time or another.
For example, a friend of mine, a friend since childhood, was 40 years old trying to have her first child with medical help. She asked me for my honest opinion if she should have a second child if this one works out. I said I thought not, because she would be 42 by then, the risk of down's syndrome or other problems keeps going up, and she did not have a stable job and housing situation. (she was just finishing her college degree after 20 years of working on it, because she kept moving and not all credits transfer, and had depression problems, and troubles at work, which at the time I thought were not her fault). Well, she went off on me! She went on and on in a verbally abusive way, and I'm bipolar and I told her I was already suicidal, so please stop. She wouldn't, and I asked her over and over to stop being abusive. Finally, I had to hang up on her. She called right back. My husband took the call, tried to calm her down, it didn't work, and she said I betrayed her and I was sitting on my butt getting disability (which she KNEW upset me because I was a Ph.D physics student before becoming disabled, lost my life's work, she said it on purpose) and how dare I judge her when she was working etc. etc. Then she sent me a horrible email to follow it up, and has never spoken to me again. I feel bad about it, but honestly, I wasn't getting anything out of that relationship - she was always too clingy and needy. I'd be relapsing with the bipolar, one foot in the hospital, and she'd be crying about her boyfriend and never care about me. I think she was borderline, that sounds like typical behavior. she has volatile relationships with EVERYONE. She was severely emotionally abused as a kid (I was there) and MOST people with borderline were abused. I was also severely abused, but it was sexual abuse, but I did not get borderline.
Bipolar, you will see changes in energy level that are often dramatic. Mixed moods, which is like an agitated depression, can be confusing, but most don't start with that right away. My pattern when I got to college was all A's one quarter, flunk the next due to being in bed all the time, or because I got really excited about something else and went and worked on it.
I think Dr. Phelps at bipolarworld.net addresses this issue. Click on ask the doctor, and do some reading.
And by the way, just because pills aren't fixing what's wrong with you has nothing to do with bipolar. There is NO QUESTION that I have bipolar disorder, and the pills dont' really help me (or my brother)
PMS makes bipolar worse, and you can be really witchy then so keep track. I am sometimes verbally abusive at those times (I try not to, tho). Most people with bipolar should not be taking antidepressants or they will never be stable. Dr. Phelps will address that.
Good luck!

Is bi-polar depression a real diagnosis? Or is it just angry depression or the depressive phase of bi-polar?
Answers: Yes it is real. Bipolar means two poles. So depression is one and mania is the other. When they say bipolar depression it's not a separate illness from bipolar it's one of the symptoms of the illness. I would think that it's referred to as bipolar depression so that it is know that the person is suffering from bipolar and not depression on it's on, hence bipolar depression.
It is a real diagnosis.
Bipolar is when you have periods of depression and periods of mania/hypomania. Depression is only part of it.
Yes Bipolar depression is a real diagnosis. The main difference between Bipolar depression and "regular" depression is that being Bipolar incorporates drastic mood swings. Someone Bipolar can be extremely down and out one minute and totally up and happy the next. Regular depression is usually when you are just down for a short period of time.
i have a brother who has bi-polar depression. he's never been angry or mean, but it's kind of like a roller coaster ride. when he's happy, it's almost like he's giddy. when he's down, he keeps to himself and takes long walks. i guess he has his own way of dealing with it. and he knows i'm always there just to talk to if he needs it.
I have hypo-manias. I feel wired and I say just about every thought that pops into my head no matter how ridiculous it sounds. People look at me like I am an alien. I can't sit still, and my I cannot get my mind to shut up. I cannot sleep at all. I have very strong impulses that are hard to explain for instance sexual urges that are so strong (such as sleeping with strangers or acting out extreme fantasies, luckily I have not indulged in too many). I am on Lamictal and Cymbalta now and I do not remember ever feeling so normal in my life. Maybe just possibly when I was a child. No depressions no manias.
Melissa
I think its called manic depressive..or something like that.Look it up.
Am I crazy?
My brother in law passed away about a month ago. He died in his sleep at 21 years old. Since then I've become a total hypochondriac...I feel as though I have some unseen illness thats killing me. My anxiety level is through the roof. I've seen my GP about it and she put me on lexapro which I tried to take, but it makes me REALLY spacey, to where I can't even drive, even on a low dose. The only physical symptoms I'm having are things that COULD completely be related to stress and anxiety. But here's the thing...my gut feeling is telling me something is wrong. Do I go through all the medical exams to make sure or would I benefit more from a psychiatrist?Answers: Can you let us know what your physical symptoms are? There are a lot of diseases that are left undiagosed and untreated because of the term hypochondriac.
Edit - goto your doctor again about the headaches and fatigue. They can send you to a neurologist to get a scan on your brain to rule out any problems like MS for example. Don't want to freak you out, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Sometime doctors are very hard to work with - you need to keep pushing and keep aking questions.and complain to them - that's what they're there for!
It sounds like you are grieving and are stressed out by what happened to your brother in law.
It might be a good idea to speak to a counsellor, so you can talk it all through.
Talking to your doctor in more detail might help to determine if there is a physical problem.
iam a hypochondriac ok so dont woory go off the drug.
follow these simple steps
a)take 5 mins out of your day to relax and
b)deep breaths when you think about your health and a lot more fun
sorry to hear bout your family member dying so young it seems to happen more and mroe often these days
hypochondriac..it spells mental abuse on you and your body.stress will send all those chemicals you produce and make things worse , just because someone else got sick and died , doesn't mean you will. I"m juts asking { did you think something was wrong with you BEFORE or AFTER he died .} Stress will get you down,stress will make you sick ,stress will create chemicals in your body that are destructive to you mentally and physically and you know what,You won't even know it until you worry so much and ask the question { Am i crazy ? }
Anxiety!!????!!?
i have anxiety problems and am on medication for it but the medication isnt enough. its so hard for me to even get too schoool cuz my anxiety/stress is so bad. any suggestions?Answers: go running, jogging, do some physical activity. i have mild anxiety problems too, and that works a treat for my anxiousness (and my legs and abs, i can see the muscles kind of coming up! yay!) listen to music that makes you really happy, the tempo, rythm, whatever makes you feel like your at their concert or at a party. (aerosmith is good...)
Yoga, mediation, take 15 mins outta your day to lie on the floor and allow every part of your body to melt melt melt into it. focus on individual parts, and then your whole body, your mind will go somewhere good. dont eat fatty fast food, it lowers your mood, drink green tea and have lots of fruits and veges. with school, have calendars on your wall so every thing is clearly planned out an d looks obvious, its motivation.
You should go back to your doctor and tell her/him exactly how you are feeling. There is really no need for you to be going through this. Changing your medication and getting some counseling can and will help you but you gotta go!
Good luck!
Yes, do a short fast, like at least 3 days. This should get your head screwed back on.
I suggest doing the Master Cleanse - obviously your brain is unable to react to anything properly since it is bogged down with what is going on within, much less outside stimuli.
Get back in control of yourself. Try some form of meditation, yoga is good too.
You should talk to your doctor, it sounds like your medication might not be working.
One way to try and reduce anxiety is just to keep focusing on one thing at a time, like instead of thinking about spending the day at school, concentrate on each step, like getting up, getting dressed etc etc. I've found that works for me sometimes.
Why do I have problems sleeping at night? Instead of sheep I count cannibals just to get a few hours of rest.?
When I do fall asleep a man in a black coat is always following me in my dreams. Should I start back taking my zoloft that my doctor subscribe to me?Answers: Nah. Zoloft is the debil. Learn how to do lucid dreaming and beat up the man in the black coat. This should solve all your problems.
you have to change your live style.make it more relaxed. the you want that sleep must come the less change you have to get it
Can someone cheer me up please?
There is lots wrong some of it beyond my control, I just want to go away somewhere and just dissapear for a while, but I got too many responsibilities.Im just having an off day - any suggestions?
Answers: hi Sonia.
You have made a connection now, I am thinking of you and pouring happy thoughts at you.
I am seeing you as you are, caring but strong - you are still there when the storm has passed, so no matter how weary it has made you - you are strong and worthy, stick with it!
Many little things make life worthwhile - wine, chocolate, a lovely bath, a good film, take a little "me" time and indulge yourself a bit, you deserve it.
Mostly though, here is a hug ad a kiss - x.
Good luck, Steve.
Ice cream, chocolate and a glass or two of a nice chilled white wine. To be consumed while watching your favourite comedy movie.
Repeat dose as often as required!!
Well to cheer up for now i would suggest a day of pampering yourself. Warm bath and a box of chocolates, some good music or maybe a book. The classic sort of thing. Tried and tested on my 'sick' days (yes im a guy but that doesnt mean i dont enjoy a box of chocolates)
But in all honesty if you want to feel better in the long run then you should try and sort out as much as you can about your life, and the stuff beyond your control will hopefuly sort itself out if you give it a bit of time. Till then, i recommend Thorntons or maybe a tub of Ben and Jerrys Fossil Fuel ;)
Go to the beach and watch the waves.
And/or find some animals to play with - talk to them too- they're good listeners!
It's had for me to personally cheer you up, but I do have some things that can help. Try getting out, take a walk or a ride. Exercise is a good mood lifter. When I get down I jump on my bike and ride hard into the countryside for a few miles. It does help. Good Luck (Your not alone)
I get that way too I just start doing something that ( a small task ) will preoccupy myself until I get so focused that I have forgotten.. I can't seem to remember what I was talking about see it works!!!
Hi there,
Getting messed up with life is easy and quite difficult to come out. For every complicated thing that you see around you have a manual. The manual for life is the Bible. There is no second thought about this. I encourage you to pick a copy of the Bible and read through God words of assurance for your life.
I have experienced it and know how assurance works when all things seem to be going wrong. Pick up and read. i have a little article for you to read.

Hey Hun, i know that feeling. It feels like most of the time you just want to crawl into a black hole and think that its always you that get the bad luck.
Well Hun there's more to life than just bad luck trust me on that Ive had nothing but bad luck these past few years, now it feels my luck is about to start changing.
All you have to do is take a day at a time live life to the full and love those around you. Go to a spa have some alone time or go to the pub and have a drink with some old friends sounds like your in need of a good night out or in need of romance even if the romance is a hot bubbly bath with a glass of wine and strawberry in candle light and a good book. I hope this helps to cheer you up Hun, if a have said anything unto wards you I'm very sorry but I'm only trying to help. I hope a did (",)
Escaping from your problems won't make them go away, they'll still be there when you come back.Try to think how you can make things better, talk to someone close or pray about them. We all hate not being in control but things happen for a reason and make us stonger or destroy us. Accept the things out of your control and deal with them one day at a time, you're not a super hero so don't beat yourself up about things you can't change.
Be positive and hopefully you'll get more good days than bad.
There isn't anything so wrong that somehow it can be fixed. If you have many responsibilities; you know that you must keep your head straight and take care of them. If you need help; get help. Don't do anything drastic or ridiculous. Anything can be fixed. Everyone has times like this at some point in their life. There is help but don't get the kind that you will be in worse shape than you are now. Get help that you don't have to pay for.
Do you have a parent or two of them that you can talk to? I know that a parent wants to help their child; no matter how bad it is. Sometimes they can show you that things aren't as bad as you think.
If you believe in God; you can pray for His help. Pray for the right answers, the right route to take, the right outcome. It takes some time, but God can give you some peace where you can think clearly and make the right decisions.
God bless you.
don't take all the responsibilities on your shoulders let others know how you feel.
pamper yourself let others worry about themselves
i love just getting outdoors. sitting on a bench, or laying down in the middle of a tree covered area and stare up. just lay there, breath regularly, and enjoy the fact that you having nothing going on around you but the sounds of life. after about 45 mins of nothing going on you should be calmed down.
go to jokes and riddles in entertainment.
calm calm down go and run a bath take some time to yourself play some of your favourite music and chill then moisturise and relax with a glass of vino?or a cup of tea?have an early night take care
put your favourite album on, loud. ignore the bad responses. read the good ones. we care. relax in the bath, pamper yourself, have an early night and try to enjoy tomorrow.
edit: I've only just seen the answer above me.
Put on some music and dance! Thats what i do when i need cheering up x
What's the best way to help?
What is the best way to help teens struggling with cutting, suicide, and depression? Where do I go to help?Answers: There must be a community health centre or Doctor in your area that can advise you on where you can go to help. Perhaps look up the local phone book or newspaper for numbers of these services. There is always somebody worse off than yourself who would be glad of a helping hand.
Can u help or just give me sum advice?
im 15 yrs oldi cant go to sleep unless its passed 1 or 2 in da morn nd wake up any were between 9 nd 12
do i have a sleep disorder or wat??
plz help if u can
thanx
Answers: A lot of people can't sleep unless they are just EXHAUSTED and pass out. Relaxation exercises can help sometimes.
Try this. Lay down in a quiet room, close your eyes, and take slow deep breaths. make each inhale and exhale last as long as you can.
First say to yourself "I feel my toes relaxing." and they will. Then say "I feel my ankles relaxing" and they will. Go all the way to the top of your head until you reach the top of your head.
Imagine that as you exhale that red smoke it blowing out your mouth as you exhale, taking away all the stress with it. As it goes out of you, you'll feel your body getting lighter.
Just lay there, calmly breathing, blowing out the stress, for about 20 minutes.
i had this problem too
what the issue is is your internal clock has shifted so your time is off
what you need to do is not sleep for a day or two then go to bed when you want to go to bed on a regular basis and even if you cant go to sleep lay there anyway and wake up at the same time everyday after about a week and half your time should be right again also to help this little process along you can take melatonin everynight before you go to bed you can get them at walmart or cvs over the counter
This is simply sleep disorder caused by your biological clock.
As you know that sleep is controlled by your mind and the mind gets used to your habits of getting a sleep in the late night.
The biological clock sets according to your habits which you might have developed during the course of study or your late night job.
So it's all in your mind which you have to teach it to change.
Just try to change your habits. Take dinner between 7 & 8 p.m. After some time when you have digested your meal, do some vigorous excercise which is awfully tiring.
Now throw yourself into the bed.
Try this for one week and perhaps you will see the change.
Good luck...
I do believe you do not have sleeping disorder. Based on the info that you gave, you are sleeping for 8-11 hours. 8 hours of sleep is healthy. Your problem would be if you have classes early the next day like 7 or 8am coz you're definitely going to be late. You could adjust your biological clock as someone here had mentioned. Avoid coffee, tea , softdrinks even chocolates (these are stimulants) Exhaust yourself during the day, eat dinner early, skip the tv and maybe after a week or two of sleeping from 9pm - 5am or even 6-7am your body would have adjusted to it. Recently though, it was said that a goodnight's sleep doen't only depend on its length but more importantly you should ask yourself after waking up if you feel better after that sleep. So even if you sleep for just 3-4 hours but when you awake you feel revived then you just had a goodnight's sleep.
Whats this mean?
person starts flirting with you. you ask them out and they wont give you an answer. I even said i wont be mad if its no. They dont give you an answer for 4 months and play with you a lil bit. Then they say i dont like you after. Then they are on and off again. Whats going on?Answers: They are playing a mean game with you. I would just leave them alone and see if they like it. You deserve better than them. It's not a nice thing they are doing, I'm so sorry.
It's called bi-polar and you should just cut your losses. Nothing good will come from this relationship. Even if you do end up dating, this sort of behavior will continue well into said relationship. They're not going to change just because you start dating them.
Plus, you might be misreading signals, no matter how strong you think they are. It's always a possibility.
Oh yeah, and in terms of staying interested in someone, human beings have a relatively short attention span. Four months can be an eternity.
It means they are not worth your time.
