I know, Hydrok. I'm afraid they're going to throw me in the loony bin.

Pay 19 bucks and diagnose your own mental disorder...

Hey, amp, did you read Celtic's orignal post? You two have something in common!

Why can't anyone just be happy? Stop over-exhaggerating.

Well that was immature on your part. Because you know why? It's not their fault that they have mental diseases. They don't wake up one morning and say, "Hey, i think i want some attention so i'll go to the psychiatrist and make them diagnose me with depression, then people will feel bad for me aaahahaahah".

I have a mental disorder that shrinks say will actual become less prevalent as I age it's called aspberger's and is mistaken for ADD/ADHD and Autism but I have a very minor case and I'm off all the drugs now.

I think i am mild to severe OCD...

If you're only experiencing the depressive state then I think that you're just clinically depressed...not bipolar.

However, you may have meant that you just experience that state more than the other, happy state. If so, disregard.

i was diagnosed bipolar 2 years ago and some people (like myself) only experience the depressive state it can last up to 5 years (crazy...huh) but most of those doctors think if your depressed your bipolar

I've come to a theory.

Every human thought or behaviour will one day be categorized as a disorder, so no actual medically "sane" person will exist.

And that is what is happening. Everyone, at the very least, has depression or fatigue or insomnia. It cannot occur to them that they may be just sad at a current situation, not being physically healthy, or not sleeping thanks to too much coffee or stress.

Again, I am a clinical psycopath. I honestly feel fine, if not that I'm better. The only thing I do that I consider "odd" is plan murders and lack worry/regret/care. And that I think is normal to a degree in everyone.

My sister says I have OCD. Only because I have to be super-neat when I'm writing certain things and when I don't I throw out the whole paper because it'll bug me so bad I want to die. I don't let my friends write on my papers because their handwriting will not look good.

Also, things HAVE to be even. Like if I get one hand wet, I can't just dry it off. I have to wet the other hand and then dry them both at the same time so that one won't be wet longer than the other.

Also, I work at a store that sells purses, and if one is out of place, it bugs me so bad that I have to drop what I am doing just to fix it.

These are just examples, but you get the idea.

I also hate it when there is hair, fuzz, lint, etc. on people's clothes.

But you know what I really hate? How it seems like EVERYONE has depression lately, and everyone has SOME KIND of disorder. Why can't anyone just be happy? Stop over-exhaggerating.

I too, am offended in a different way.

They make "crazy" look like it's a funny thing. Sure, jokes are O.K, but don't try to make them on a real mental disorder. Crazy is a rude term for some people.

They need to pay more attention on what they are displaying in the front board more seriously.

I haven't been diagnosed with any mental disorders, unless you call intelligence a disorder.

Okay, bad joke.

Is there a medical (I mean like a pill) treatment for OCD?

Yea, there are some. I know anafril is one and some other -fril one.

If it is what I believe it to be in Spanish, it's a tad like mood swings. Very strong, frequent ones...

Manic-depressiveness is when you're happy, and then all of the sudden, you're really really mad for no particular reason. My sister it isn't too bad, so she doesn't have to be treated, but my dad has medication for it, and it's not too bad when he's medicated, but if he doesn't use it for some reason, it's sometimes really hard to deal with him.

I've never met anyone with OCD, but I have researched it some (for books). Still, I don't know a lot about living with it, or living with people with it.

I don't have regular symptoms of OCD because my OCD isn't original, it's from my ADD.

My OCD is more tangible...when I wash the dishes, we have these colored cups (dark red, red, orange, and yellow) in like five different sizes. I have to line them up so that they are in rainbow form (dark red, red, orange, and yellow) and in line from tallest to shortest.

I'm also obsessively organized...and can't stand it when I'm not!

yeah I have moderate OCD....fun fun i think its been almost nine years now (since i was 8)... i never thought i had normal OCD symptoms (isnt that funny?) cause i never worried about washign my hands or anything... just stupid rythm things and worrying i will hurt some one if i dont say something to them and things like that. but i've been able to control more of the compulsions lately due to the medication i'm on.

For some reason I understand what you mean...
