    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 ;)

    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. :(

    Lucky you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_familial_insomnia :eek:

    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.

    I have add and mild dyslexia.
    Sensory processing disorder, but that's part of the add.
    Also regular various anxiety disorders, bouts of depression, insomnia and hypersomnia.
    And I have pmdd, and chronic pid, but I think that's classed as a disease.

    Dyspraxia and anxiety. But you wouldn't suspect either if you ever met me - I'm quite good at hiding it when need be.

    There can be some aspect of dyslexia though - sometimes when I'm reading, while the words make perfect sense, when I read them aloud, they might get mixed up or I might get confused in what they mean. Another aspect of it, I've noticed, is getting genders mixed up. Like I might say "he talked to her" rather than "she talked to him", without realizing.

    Well, I can't really comment on whether I have it bad or not, because I've nothing to compare it against. It just means some things can be rather difficult for me - like juggling would be a near-impossible task for me.

    I have a type of Drapetomania, the name given to a mental illness, that caused black slaves to flee captivity. I have the version which causes me to want to escape wage slavery.

    Yeah, same with me and my add - they say I have mild dyslexia, but I think it's just part of the add.
    I mix up things like that often too.
    And I wish my brain had a spell check!
    The worst thing for me though is finding words - I can never think of basic words - they're at the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember them, and then there's my useless short term memory! Ah, the list goes on!!

    My son though has the opposite, he apparently has hyperlexia, which is where he has an amazing reading ability - he taught himself to read and write aged 3, and now at 8, he's in the top spelling percentile in the country.
    He has major problems in other areas though.

    It can get really awkward sometimes - like exams were usually quite difficult for me, because I could never hold a pen properly, so I would get extraordinarily bad cramps/aches when I was writing a lot. Memory is also a major problem I find too.
