Personality disorders

Pathological lying is not an inherent characteristic of bipolar disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). That is, people with bipolar disorder or ADHD are no more or less likely to lie than are people with most other psychiatric disorders, or people without psychiatric disorders, for that matter. The exception might be when someone with bipolar disorder is in such a manic state that they lose touch with reality and report -- and believe -- things about themselves and other people that aren't true,

Now Vick... That is the funniest thing I have read on this whole post. How appropriate

I think this deserves a TOUCHE'!

Vick, it's good to see you've found the perfect way to unleash all your suppressed anger

Does anyone else count words on the TV, to see if there are odd or even numbers of letters in the words? Or is it just me?

it's just you...lol.

...i'm too tired from adding up the car tag numbers on every car i get behind or pronouncing billboard and street sign words backwards.

Those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or those with BPD who may not even know they have it, are more likely than the general population to be verbally, emotionally/psychologically, physically abusive.

LOL Crusty, that is hillarious
Thanks for my laugh for the day, I needed

Elvis is even in my blue suede stilettos LOL

Pucker, are you my twin? I hadn't mentioned the car tags. To answer a previous question. I have done the counting thing all my life. I can look at most words and know how many letters are there very quickly. It can be very distracting. Sometimes when I am watching the news and they run the banner on the bottom, I miss what they are saying. My ex didn't have any disorder, he has no personality.

I like this one. Do you think the democrats suffer from this?

What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that affects about 1.1 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. People with schizophrenia sometimes hear voices others don’t hear, believe that others are broadcasting their thoughts to the world, or become convinced that others are plotting to harm them. These experiences can make them fearful and withdrawn and cause difficulties when they try to have relationships with others.
Signs & Symptoms

Symptoms usually develop in men in their late teens or early twenties and women in the twenties and thirties, but in rare cases, can appear in childhood. They can include hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking, movement disorders, flat affect, social withdrawal, and cognitive deficits.

Twin? i doubt it....but maybe kin since part of my family was from St.Joe/Iron City area

And it never occurred to me to add tag numbers until my sister mentioned doing it. Backwords words were my own doing.

Vick, on the DID thing, did you know one personality can take a sleeping pill and go sleep, while another one can be wide awake?
That is so amazing and really does show 'mind over matter'. Science needs to study how the brain can do that. Think of the things that could be 'cured' by an alternate personality.

That would be fantastic if I could have a personality devoted to extreme exercise and a healthy diet, while my other personality could eat pizza and cheeseburgers every day.

A patient with multiple personalities who was undergoing very painful treatments reported that she just summoned another personality to endure the pain and the treatments did not hurt at all.

my little voices assure me I'm quite normal

what disorder is it when someone makes a few observations, incorrectly interprets those and forms an false conclusion, and then tells their opinion as the truth without regard for how such a falsehood may affect the lives of others?

what's the correct diagnostic name for that one?

hoss gal, I think it is called giving someone a dose of their own medicine. Whether or not that is an acceptable recourse is debatable. I'd imagine that putting up with months of watching your adversary rip someone else's reputation to shreds in a public setting helps your case though.

Personally, once someone's posts repeatedly raise my blood pressure, I put them on ignore & go my merry way. It works like a charm, folks.

But it's not as interesting.

Abusers co-opt mental health and social welfare workers and compromise them – even when the diagnosis is unequivocal – by flattering them, by emphasizing common traits or a common background, by forming a joint front against the victim of abuse ("shared psychosis"), or by emotionally bribing them. Abusers are master manipulators and exploit the vulnerabilities, traumas, prejudices, and fears of the practitioners to "convert" them to the offender's cause.



The abuser mistreats only his closest – spouse, children, or (much more rarely) colleagues, friends, and neighbours. To the rest of the world, he appears to be a composed, rational, and functioning person. Abusers are very adept at casting a veil of secrecy – often with the active aid of their victims – over their dysfunction and misbehavior

i think it's a 5 letter answer instead of 4.

Paranoia is a disturbed thought process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards yourself

An extra personality never hurts
Ask Bitzy...

Now, to end my part in this thread:

Having a multiple personality is better than having no personality at all!
