Whats your Disorder ?

tempura

I have just watched a programme on Discovery about a woman who is completely able bodied however she lives her life as a Paraplegic.
Apparantly she has The condidtion which is known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder.

It seems to me that these days physcoligists seem to have a need to put a new name on every weird thing that people seem to come up with, this seems like utter bull**** to me. For example , my boyfriend just said " If i wake up tomorrow and suddenly feel the need to break every cup in the house does that mean I have a Disorder ? "Crockery Hatred syndrome" or the like.

It seems to make a complete mockery of people with real Disorders and Disabilities.

I have Obsessive Boardsie Disorder, Compulsive Boob Watching Disorder and Amazing Money Spending Disorder.

I compulsively diagnose myself with ridiculous disorders I make up. Functioning fine in society until the days I cannot come up with anything and fall into a neurological abyss.

sometimes I am afraid to type the letter .

I get this wierd feeling every night of getting more and more tired, my eyes get heavy and then I just black out, it's not until many hours later when it's bright in the morning that I am able to open my eyes again, I remember nothing while this happens, I'm going to call it heavy eye syndrome.

Sorry to tell you this, but it's chronic. It can affect you up to eight hours a day. And it's incurable.

If I drink anything with alcohol I tend to say stupid things and have a tendancy to wobble when I walk :-( tis terrible Joe

I have Borderline Personality Disorder, but me and my doctor are both dubious that the condition really exists. It's a very severe mental issue regarding relationships but it's quite vague. I'm just glad to have a label because without it, I wouldn't be getting the help that I am now entitled to. Suffered from depression so severe during my teens I am surprised I am still here.

I also have ME, which wasn't diagnosed for 13 years, because I was told my fatigue was due to my depressive disorder.

I also have a rare skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex. It's very mild in my case.

I sometimes say I am Dee (BPD ME EBS) because I never got a degree so don't have letters to add after my name :pac:

Yes, we long for the old days, and the simplicity of the language. 'Yer one with the knickers' or 'Yer man with the twitch' was good enough to describe patients for many centuries - why change now?

Your username is very apt for your disorder

I think there is over labeling to be fair. It doesn't help that psychology tends to have fashions and trends.
I'm not against psychology but it's seen as too untouchable sometimes.

My name is URL

There was a good Horizon doc about how many mental disorders are misconstrued or misdiagnosed, and how people who don't actually lay within any of the diagnostic criterion are sometimes mistaken for those that do.

A very fine line still exists between being mentally unstable and just acting out on impulse etc., and it's better to treat each case on its merits rather than its possible future manifestations or preconceptions of that.

Mental health is a very personal thing and diagnostic criteria should really only be employed by those who are qualified to apply it in a way that helps the persons involved.

There's a book.

It's called the DSM

The Diagnostic Statistic Manual.

It's the psychiatric bible.

And if you (in fact anybody) reads it: You'll find at least 12 mental illnesses you're suffering from.

Point is: If you can generally get on with life = you're ok.

If you're looking for some greater meaning = become religious.

Doesn't matter which religion, all imaginary friends are the same.

they really shouldnt tell people what their 'disorders' are, they should just keep it in their notes and let the patients be if they are coping ok. labels sicken me for that reason. their nice, but in the wrong hands and time they are very dangerous. statistics are great for if you want to figure out how much in claims you are likely to pay out this year in health insurance. stats are the new god. there is only one stat which matters. 50/50 you will or you wont :mad:

you are statistically unlikely to get run over by a bus tomorrow, but tell that to the guy on life support machine who got hit by a bus

Unfortunately it's a symbiotic relationship.

The patient goes to the doctor looking for a diagnosis. They want to know what's wrong with them. They demand it.

Conversely, the doctor (or shrink) is defined by being a master of diagnosis. They feel the need to appear to know everything, even if they don't. They come from a position of authority, even if they're wrong.

And people who believe they're an authority hate even the hint of being wrong. If you don't believe me, try arguing with a Gard.

Similar symptoms of dyslexia, but instead of difficulty with reading etc it's difficulty with fine/gross motor skills (my son has it)
