Mental Disorders

>chronic depression since age 8, schizophrenia, schizoid pd
How in the fuck my man

Not him but it's rare for schizophrenics to not be chronically depressed their whole lives and to not have SPD or schizoid pd

In that case my dad got majorly jewed in his diagnosis.

Well, the more you know.

I have a strong feeling that I have Schizoid Personality Disorder.

ay me too, but I'm also extremely paranoid and have slight delusions, so maybe that's schizotypal, either way something's wonky in here

>I have delusions
Lmao

You gonna tell me that I don't have delusions because I know they're delusions? Cause it's way more complicated than that.

i'm going to push for social security disability because i'm way too fucked up to work, wish me luck

generalized anxiety disorder, chronic depression, social anxiety, impulse control disorder, ADD, ocd tendencies, hypersensitivity to sound, and prone to dissasociation

>yet
stop trying to self-diagnose and don't annoy your therapist by acting like you know more than them

I have the ur mom gay kek you got pranked :DDDDDDDDDDD

same, minus the schizoid
not hospitalized at the moment though

i'm not trying to self diagnose. i simply listed symptoms that i deal with because i'm not going to remember everything when i get there

Then why you listed disorders name, you stupid fuck? You could list symptoms but you added disorders because you think you are affected by them

Just paranoid schizophrenia

why wouldn't i list the names of disorders if i know what symptoms generally go in hand with them?

if i bring up certain disorders they can probe for more questions regarding said disorders and get all the information they need that way

use your damn head, its not the same as self diagnosing

Avoidant + Borderline here.

My feelings no longer thraten me (almost no anxiety) due to my therapy. No meds though.
Still have my behavioral issues (no friends, no gf, social inhibition and eat a lot) but I no longer feel bad. I'm content and trying to do my best.

>BPD
>ASD
>ASPD
All untreatable. No reason to even bring these up. ADD is also untreatable unless you take amphetamines which you shouldn't to be honest.

if i can at least get diagnosed with those things i'll have a better shot at being approved for social security disability. i'm curious about cognitive behavioral therapy too since ive heard good things about it

Are you American? Only autism would get you disability there and it needs to be severe.

that's not true, there's actually something called the "blue book" which lists a bunch of disorders that will qualify, many of which are on there.

friend of mine suffers from schizophrenia and receives 500 a month currently

No, you just list symptoms and the psychologist/psychiatrist tells what you have. They're not an infopoint for mental illness. If you want to know more about all the disorders you list just fucking buy DSM V

>If you want to know more about all the disorders you list just fucking buy DSM V

that's not the purpose for listing them

if i tell them i suspect i may have x disorder and tell them the symptoms i have that align with that particular disorder, from that point they can ask me more questions regarding that disorder which will help them determine whether or not i have it.

it really isnt that hard to comprehend

ALL BULLIES are people with ASPD and should be locked into a mental institution, or a concentration camp, 'till they learn to not bully.

>-history of cruelty to animals during adolescence
Thanks for letting me know so that I can put you on the Death List.

Why is it that basically all the mental disorders have the same basic symptoms? Especially stuff like ADHD, OCPD, Schizo, and Autism, it's like they are all different flavors of the same thing.

Do you guys take any meds for your disorders?
I don't because taking them makes me feel weak

Yeah me neither. Antipsychotics are terrible so I quit them.

It can pretty much be boiled down into mentally healthy = socially capable, mentally ill = socially incapable, and human personalities, emotions, and outlooks can be quite easily boiled down into either working with society or against it, so all of the 'disorders' are, and are named as such, because they are all out of order with human conectedness, and as such share many similar shapes in how they act.

>Especially stuff like ADHD, OCPD, Schizo, and Autism
Have been around people with these things? They don't come off as similar at all to me.

It's not you understanding if you have or not a disorder. It's the fucking doctor telling you.

>It's not you understanding if you have or not a disorder. It's the fucking doctor telling you.

no shit. and the doctor will come to a conclusion much faster when i give him a list of symptoms to start with

again, it's really not that fucking hard to comprehend

Bipolar disorder

It sucks

Yes I told you to list just symptomps, not disorder. Can you read?
You've never been to a doctor? You don't go there and tell "Oh, I may have this and this and that". You go there and tell "i feel this, this hurts, that make me feel like.."
But in your case you can go there and tell you have dyslexia. You have it for sure.

lmao at you criticizing my reading when you can barely even type english properly, its like im talking to an indian customer service guy

anyway, listing the disorder with the symptoms under it does no harm whatsoever, and the doctor can disregard it entirely if he wants to

You're going to be denied. Apply asap and wait for the denial. Appeal the denial and you'll be denied again. By this time you should've seen your therapist a few times which is good. After being denied twice, HIRE A DISABILITY ATTORNEY. They don't charge anything up front. They will give you lots of paperwork for your therapist to fill out about how you're too impaired to hold any kind of job. Then they will file all the paperwork you need to get a disability appeal hearing. These lawyers know all the judges through kickbacks and all that bullshit. Once they get you approved they will charge you 25% of your initial payment. But since you will already have been denied twice they will owe you the back payments since you first applied. This is how disability attorneys make their money. It's a racket but it's the only way for people like us to get approved. The whole process will take about 18 months tops unfortunately. I'm waiting for my hearing right now. My attorney has 100% success working with people with my diagnoses. Good luck user!

good info, thanks dude

psychcentral.com/blog/dont-self-diagnose-but-do-self-refer/

>just like your general physician might listen to your symptoms and refer you to a mental health professional for a more in-depth evaluation, you can self-refer based on anything you would otherwise use to self-diagnose: things you've experienced, disorders you've read about that feel like they hit close to home, quizzes you've taken. all of these are useful data points to start a conversation with a professional.

common sense

good job phoneposting summer

No problem. I haven't been on this board long, but I try to tell people this when they say "I'm gonna apply for disability". I'm right in the middle of the process and had to learn there's a right way to do it lol and unfortunately it takes a while. I first applied about a year and a half ago. By the time I get my hearing it will probably be about 20 months of back payments they'll owe me.

editing a typo =/= phoneposting

Me too, im pretty certain of it
What would be the point to getting officially diagnosed? Just seems like a lot of hassle for nothing, because its not like theres a cure or something

as soon as i get diagnosed with whatever's wrong with me i'll get the process started. i only got approved for medicaid yesterday. im having a lot of anxiety about going up there and talking to them though

Got diagnosed with GAD and depression once, I was on different medications for a while eventually developed a binge eating disorder (would often eat til I puked) while on them, my doctor eventually asked why I though I wasn't improving and I said that I didn't think that it was actual anxiety and that I thought I might have aspergers or something. He literally laughed in my face and said that seeking treatment meant that it was literally impossible for me to have any sort of autism because people with that kind of thing would never try to get help. I stopped going to him after that, I still want to kill myself, I still have problems keeping and resemblance of a sleep schedule and with interacting with people and just doing every day shit, I still sperg out about small things but I don't ever want to go through the whole process of dealing with a doctor like that ever again so I just do my best to ignore it at this point.

Depression and ASPD/psychopathy can't be diagnosed together, they're literally the opposite of each other. If you have guilt you are not a psychopath.

Schizoid Pd, may have some form of mood disorder as well but that's not official

ASPD can be. Psychopathy is what cannot be comorbid with depression.

ASPD can have depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations. In fact, suicide is a high risk factor with ASPD.

This is one of the reasons that separating ASPD from psychopathy is so necessary. The variant brain structure of psychopathy prevents us from experiencing any of these things

with that said, i've decapitated baby birds using hedge trimmers, as well as a number of other abysmal things towards defenseless animals that i feel guilty about
