| Eating disorders. Kinda surprised this one hasn't come up yet, but thats what I deal with. In living with it, its actually much more of a spectrum than I had previously understood... Binging, bulimia, anorexia ... they swing like mood does and can adapt with your overall mental stability, depending on what kind of week or month one is having... In a sense, suffering from "disorderly eating" might be a better way of explaining it. Quick shout out to everyone who has a hard time existing with the various types of obstacles that one can live with. You aren't alone, therapy and medication are available, and remember to take care as often as you can... It may not seem worth the effort to take care, but thats all ya can do ... stay strong, folks. much love |
| Depression and social anxiety are the only diagnosed ones. I'm starting to think I might have bipolar disorder too but I'm not doctor so maybe I'm just overthinking it. |

I think in general, the level of cognizance one can have about the prevalence of mental disorders in our current society, mixed with the consistent exposure to the vocabulary and symptoms in media CAN encourage a group of people to misuse the language and subscribe to a disorder without fully realizing its implications... ... but that doesn't deny the fact that the mental health spectrum is one the should be taken seriously, and the smarter and more aware people become, the more complex that spectrum gets. There are so many different types of people, the types of mental states one can lie in are still being discovered and the exploration is currently underway... Progress has been made, but it will be a struggle indefinitely. Eating disorders with the highest mortality rate? I've never heard the connection between the two... I've never thought about people dying from that type of behavior.. I wonder if its mortality in the sense of suicide? Or mortality in the sense that their life expectancy is shorter after the damage done to their body? Eating disorders are hard for people to grasp... Myself included! I think people look at it as a stigma because the "choice" to eat properly is too "logical" or "easy" to be subject to the likes of a mental illness. In a similar fashion to addiction disorders, often times the response is "well they shouldn't have done heroin in the first place." , or whatever drug of choice... and though responsibility is important to have, it isn't always that simple. Also, i feel like a lot of people minimize the cause for eating disorders to only people that are obsessed with their body image... Most popularly, I feel like when people think of bulimia, they first assume people (probably women) who are obsessed with becoming as thin as possible after undergoing the unfortunate and repressive stress of the beauty standards that are placed on women... And though that can be a very real situation, that isn't the only way it can arise.. I do have trouble with my body image, but the physical act of engaging in the eating disorder is rarely directly linked to an obsessive impulse of becoming thinner. More often, it is an act self-mutilation in the wake of embarrassment, self-hatred, or some other overwhelming confusion or lack of purpose... the body "craves" an outlet to mimic the emotional framework that one is in... And while the body is constantly needing food, becoming more or less hungry on a momentary basis, food can be a convenient way to easily harm oneself and conceal the scars from your friends, family, and public at large. Its no wonder that, for me and others in that framework, cutting oneself can go hand in hand with eating disorders. For me, the impulse feels very similar and the reward is in taking complete control (or at least an unfortunate attempt) of the situation. You're right, Sad, the control part of it is the most invasive part for many sufferers, and has little to do with the actual food itself. The maturity of a teenager can put their behaviors into question, and those behaviors will develop in some way into adulthood... but even the angstiest of teens are exhibiting their emotions and impulses in the most appropriate way they see fit, and thus their nature is just as legitimate as an adults. Yo, if you're gonna make the choice to exist, you gotta act in that existence, no matter what logic seems to be the best... in some cases, it can be a little faulty because of some unfortunate stuff they've run into as kids.. only time will tell how those things develop. I'll quit after this, but wanted to mention a couple books that are enlightening. Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green (a graphic novel that is very touching) Cravings by Judy Collins (an eloquent and open depiction from a thoughtful, and famous singer songwriter) The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk (specifically centered toward analyzing trauma, but a unique and open-minded way of expanding the conversation for most people to relate to in some way) |

| I don't think I've been diagnosed with anything except like asthma. My asthma doesn't bother me much, but sometimes if I'm not careful it can up the risk of catching pneumonia-- of which one time I did. Actually, now that I think of it, I was having a really bad constant coughing problem last year. My asthma hardly bothers me so I'm only realizing now that it was probably my asthma acting up. Whoops. As far as I know, I don't have anything else, but I don't think I've ever really been checked mentally or physically recently. For the mental part, I wouldn't even know how to really go about that, to be honest. A lot of my professors from my previous college always told us to check though. |
| Well apparently now I have gaming disorder. But yeah all I do is sit on my chair and be on the pc. |
| I believe I have ADHD, I have most of the symptoms and been there long time. Of course I went to psychologist once because my mom couldn't bear anymore to see me moving my hands all the time, stratching something, tearing skin off my hand. Psychologist said I'm just more sensitive to anxiety to others which I don't think that was it but who knows. |

| -epilepsy -dyscalcula Depression/ anxiety /social anxiety/ ptsd /ADHD Occasional very rare occurances of dissasosiation -I have a lot of symptoms of autism but they don't diagnose aspergers anymore, it's not in the DSM5 but even then theyve always been weird about diagnosing girls. so getting a diagnosis is actually impossible. |

| As far as I know, just ADHD. There's mild anxiety and depression like most, if not all people, but I wouldn't consider it something I suffer from. Sometimes people end up in dark places, but find their way out of them. Mostly, anyway. |

Sometimes people end up in dark places, but find their way out of them. Mostly, anyway. I agree. Even though living with ADD, APD, and a degree of social anxiety definitely makes life a little harder, I wouldn't say I suffer from it. Saying someone suffers from a disorder, to me, implies that disorder is severe. Anybody can get diagnosed with a disorder if they say the right things. My teachers used to say I had ADD, but I refused to go to the doctor for it hahah. |

I experienced it like three times that teachers wanted to see kids with much energy to see the doctor and take ritalin... basically to shut up. Their parents had bad gut feelings and didn't give them the ritalin. Instead the kids joined sports clubs etc and that was perfect for them. I mean, ADHD / ADD definitely exists, but it became a "take this drugs to shut the fuck up"-diagnosis for every lively and tiring kid or just full of energy or for kids, who can't focus too long. Yeah and it's true that Ritalin/Adderal makes you way better at school, but I just don't think it's worth it. It turns you into a zombie *_____* |

| @Gan_water related The Rosenhan experiment or Thud experiment was an experiment conducted to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis.

HopefulNihilist said: also incorrect. While your chances are looking bad with stuff like autism or schizophrenia, it is certainly possible to recover from PTSD, depression and anxiety disorders.Veronin said: None as far as I'm aware. Mental disorders are more an angsty teen sort of thing which you grow out of. There is no such thing as "growing out of" mental disorders: mental disorders stick with you for life. And many people do get better and can live their lives to the fullest. With the right therapist, it's a very achievable goal. |

Kinda relevant. Disorders are kinda unavoidable these days. Pretty sure if I went for a Psych eval I'd come out with a list of my own, but none of them are bad enough to interfere with my normal functioning so I choose not to label them if I can work around them or simply fix them by following a healthy schedule. |

| I was told that I had Asperger's a long time ago (I'm surprised how many have it here), but I've read up on it, the symptoms, and even have friends who have it, and in no way am I like them. I'm guessing that it's just because of my young age, my asocialness and awkwardness leading me to say and do things out of embarrassment instead that brought doctors to assume that. Also, my parents constantly going on about it and making excuses out of it. Like, if I were to balance on something for a long period of time, I'd get off of it the moment I find it awkward (even though I have good balance). Organ problems: most likely from the intestine, bowel, I'm not too entirely sure and neither have any doctors ever known. It was most likely caused by a very prolonged seizure I had as a child. Either that or the random medicines they used or just having it from birth. It ruins my quality of life, is a hinderance, embarrassing, and also impossible some days to even walk around the place, plus a load of other things. When I was younger, I would feel like crushing whatever hurt in a way of helping the pain. Because some days, it absolutely is agony. And like I said, it's not researched into properly and I have no medical ways to help with it. A high form of depression, BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), anxiety, and insomnia which seems to come and go every now and then. None of those four have been confirmed but they're highly accurate, definitely the first two, but I just don't have the urge or commitment to go to see therapists or such. I'm not really fond of those people anyway, it seems pretty intimidating, especially if you're on your own. |

| I have been diagnosed with ibs, its doesn't effect me too much, I don't have severe ibs or anything. I also have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but it mainly effected me when i was 11-13 years old. im much better now. you never are really "cured" from a mental illness, but i dont have to take medication anymore. i still have my episodes and moments though, but its less than twice a week which is super good. |
| Aside from depression and some sort of anxiety disorder I don't really know because I don't neatly fit in any condition perfectly. I've also had misdiagnosis before. I may or may not have ADD since I am unsure if that diagnoses was ever correct and only more recently actually have trouble focusing but that likely is from depression and anxiety. |
| I've got ADD and I've become increasingly highly strung in the past few years, so I suspect I may have an undiagonised anxiety disorder. I need to see a therapist about it before I can say anything for sure though. |
