I kind of have nightmares during the day, I can't think of a better description. For example today I was in the bathroom %26 I suddenly got the idea into my head that there was someone outside in the hall with a knife. I knew I was being stupid but I still locked the door.
Could this be tiredness or something and how do I stop it?
Thanks x
Answer:
This is probably going to sound really silly to you, but when such thoughts happen, address them by telling them (forcefully) to go away! "I reject you! You are an unwelcome thought! Go AWAY!"
Sounds ridiculous, I know... but it really works! Treat such thoughts and feelings as if THEY are unwanted, threatening intruders. Take control %26 make them leave. Try it. It may take several times, or even many. But with each rejection, they deminish.
Next, look at what you watch and fill your mind with. Do you watch a lot of horror? News? Or other things that would draw such thoughts to you?
Treat this as something you can take control of. If you have other questions, just emailme, Love. Good Luck %26 God Bless.
You might want to start by going to your medical doctor or school counselor (if you're in school) to rule out anything medical or stress related. They can then refer you to a psychiatrist to determine if you are suffering from mental illness or not.
I think that you should really talk to someone like a doctor or something especially if it scares you. You should not have to feel scared like this. I don't know if lack of sleep would cause such day dream type problems. Good luck!
It's possible that you could have a serious problem, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. I would recommend that you have yourself evaluated. The symptoms that you describe sound like more than just sleep deprevation.
It's called too many horror films too late at night... These images do stay with you you know...
I remember after watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose, that I consistently woke up at 3:00 am every morning afterward, for like a week and freaked out for like an hour before being able to fall back asleep.
ease up on the horror flicks for a while... especially the really graphic ones like Saw and silent Hill.
Well if you were actually hallucinating then yes it could maybe be a sign of tiredness. If you are deprived of sleep, then you effectively start to dream whilst you are awake, hallucinations. But this is usually only when people have a very limited amount of sleep.
But you just said you thought that maybe someone was behind the door, not that you saw someone behind the door in which case no I wouldn't think it would be due to tiredness. If you are actually hallucinating though, I'd go to a doctor or mental-health proffesional, because that can be a sign of a problem.
You likely are just having a bit of an over-active imagination. I'm not at all qualified to speak about it, but my suggestions would be maybe limit the stimulents on your mind, such as drinking lots of things like coffee, and limit what television you watch. Especially horror films!
It can also be a bit of paranoia starting, but i wouldn't worry too much about it, unless it gets really extreme that you start to think people are always there coming for you (then definitely go to a doctor).
Try to stop it now by not giving in to it. You said you locked the door anyway, but force yourself not to (only when it's just the bathroom door of course! Not your actual house door :P) so you aren't giving in to the thoughts. Force yourself to ignore them, otherwise they could start to get a bit controling of your behaviour and can become obsessive.
omg! I do this from time to time also. For me this happens after a severe tragedy or death. When Pope John Paul II passed away two years ago, I felt that he was there out in the hallway at night watching me. It was so weird. Then a couple of days ago I heard about Cho Seung and saw that scary video and pics of him on my living room tv (on the six oclock news) i could not leave the living room to go to my room because I was too scared (maybe he was there out in the dark hallway ready to shoot me or threaten me). I have never had a close person die nor have I been in a very threatening situation which neared me to death yet I have these weird feelings sometimes. They dont last very long. Sometimes I get preoccupied with them but then something happy usually distracts me so I forget. I feel like such a paranoid freak and when I talk to people about these types of things they laugh at me and call me crazy. I don't think it has to with tiredness and I dont think we are mentally ill. We must just be severely paranoid about things that we see on a day to day basis. I know I am supposed to help you but if you can find out why you do this from a real expert please let me know. thanks.
Talk to someone or just think about what can be making you have nightmares and think things like that. That would sometimes happen to me at night, but only if i remember a scary movie or a scary experience in my life.
Many things could cause this. If possible, can you get a physcial check-up with blood work to see if everything is OK physically? Why are you tired? Are you sleep deprived? Are you on any new medications? Get the results of a physical exam and figure out why you are tired (can't sleep as opposed to not enough time to sleep) before you look for a scarier mental issue.
Most things can be handled easily and well if caught early enough. Check into it now before things get any worse. Don't worry about an extreme mental illness. As long as you are thinking you are being stupid (which you are not) you are still thinking logically. Try not to worry it will only make things worse.

Mental Tiredness?
My eyes kinda feel heavy, and I pretty much have trouble focusing on things, this happens when I just took a 1 hour nap.
Answer:
Um, Im pretty sure this is totally normal. You have this certain gland in your brain, forgot what its called, but I think it starts with a 'P'. This tells the difference between night and day and basically schedules your metabolism's alarm clock. Taking does help improve brain functioning, but if it's not a habit that you do every day, it will make you tired bbecause your body's not used to it. I hope this helps!
Being mentally drained is becoming more common in today's day. It's a sign of stress in your everyday life. Help to lessen this by easing your stressors, getting lots of rest and eating balanced meals. Try yoga or some form of relaxation techniques to reduce stress and feel mentally healthy.

Mental question good anwers please?
the happy pill been on it for years kept me sane anyone ele on it i suffer from depression been in a nut house years ago it was good tho but prozac seems to be wearing off so not happy anymore, wot next best thing anyone knows thanks no bad comments
Answer:
See a doctor, I wouldn't put my health issues in the hands of complete strangers
See you psychiatrist. They can switch you to a new one. The new ones seem to be better with less side effects.
Have you tried taking St John's Wort. That is supposed to be a natural anti-depressant, my hubby has taken it for years, he's not sure whether it works, but is afraid to stop in case it does. He feels fine. May conflict with other medication though, always check with your doctor if you are taking other stuff.
Start eating seafood daily and drink 8 cups of water daily. In about four months you should see results, this will potentially cure your depression.
Sorry to hear your feeling sad i wish i could come up with something have you gone back to your doctor he or she will have to give you something to help you there is alot of questions on this site about depression look at there answers aswel it helped me feel abit better!.. look after your self k!
perhaps you could talk to a pharmacists about medication options in general, then see your GP, consultant or psychiatrist about it - i think this is something you should discuss with medical staff.
alternatively you could discuss it with someone from NHS direct on 0845 4647 (24 hours a day) http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/contact/...
to follow on with the seafood suggestion... this is because fish is 'brain food'. it will help you sort through your problems, but you do need to eat a lot of it (and even if you take a bunch of trace element supplements as well, good! the sort of pills that scholars take for exceptionally difficult, long and drawn-out exams). Unless your brain is given the chance/nutrients it needs to 'burn' in the process of working out what depresses you, the cycle wont be beaten.
I strongly suggest you stay on medication and do not eat seafood to "figure out what depresses you". The answer is likely to be "life".
Prozac is known for working well for a long time and suddenly with no reason no longer working.
When this happened to me, my doctor suggested stopping for three days and starting again. It worked... for one more year. Once it stopped the second time, it never worked again. But before you try that I would suggest you check with your doctor.

Answer:
I would talk to a psychiatrist to be sure. But I would say you may be able to increase the dosage, on your current med. Or you may need to try another SSRI.
Good Luck. Hope This Helps
I would go and talk to your GP - there's loads of drugs that have come out in recent years that might suit you better, but only your doctor would be able to tell you what. Sorry
consult a herbalist or visit a Health Food Shop %26 ask about Herbal alternatives for Prozac.
there's more than 1 way 2 control depression.
plenty of very old reliable herbal remedies that are better for you.
st johns wort is 1 %26 it has been used for thousands of years to ease depression.
Next best thing is private therapy.
trust your GP
I agree with Natalie.
There are so many different ones out there. Lexapro is very helpful.
I have to wonder though, what has happened to make you feel bad again.
Situation in life changed??
When's the last time you had a complete physical?
Do you exercise at all? No it's definitely not a cure-all, but it does help.
See your doc. God Bless
Like with every drug that's taken over a long period, you're going to have to go through a down period before you get up again. Take each day as it comes and find things that you can focus on that will make you happy. Whether it being starting a new hobby, meeting with friends or family, or aiming towards a dream that you've always wanted to achieve. You don't need any drug to make you happy, you've just become dependent on them that's all. Please don't give up and just look forward to the next chapter of your life that you'll be able to live. You can do anything you want to so keep at it and you'll soon change. Another thing you could look into is your diet. Make sure you're eating healthy fresh foods as junk food can also add towards bad moods. Exercise would also be good for you as your body releases endorphins which make you happy! Best of luck :)
I've just seen that a lot of people are suggesting higher doses or other drugs! Don't listen to them. That will only make things better in the short term which isn't what you need. You need to learn to live without relying on drugs otherwise you're not in control of your life. It's a scary place to be but you must gain control without drugs, therapy is a much better method.
you might have to change your medicine, or add another one to it.talk to your doctor. i started out with zoloft,2 years later he added wellibupron,and klonpin for nerves.sometimes theyjust have to try different kinds to get it right. i have major depression. but all together the meds. work. i have been hospitalised 4 times because, i had to get my meds. straightend out.
Honestly, I think the best thing would be a good diet, lots of vitamins, and a lot of exercise (at least one looong walk daily)
Since your body is used to having the drugs suppress the problem instead of actually handling it, you need to work on handling it for good. Eating healthy and taking vitamins (as well as getting lots of sleep) will help you feel better and more able to handle situations without the help of drugs. Taking a walk or a run outside will help you expand your awareness of things around you so your attention isn't always being drawn inwards.
You could try either Xanex (I think that's how it is spelt), or Frisium. Also, as others have suggested, go out walking or some type of exercise as it really does help. I find that if you keep your mind busy %26 occupied, you will feel much better.
why don't you try relying on yourself to make you happy rather that a pill, otherwise you'll just be searching for pills for the est of your life and what happens when you can't find that pill.
I was on prozac aswell and it did help loads,all of a sudden though my councillors and pcychologists left me.i never heard no more contact sinse,and because of my illness im the type of person who doesn't go crawling back,they abused my trust.so now i aint on prozac either.Luckily i haven't been rock bottom with out it,i came off them mainly bacause i was about to start taking pills for my weight and they wouldn't have agreed with prozac.There is stronger anti-depressents then prozac so ask your psychologist or doctor etc if you can gradually change to one of them as you dont feel prozac is working any more.Prozac is one of the weaker anti-depressents,but usually helps with treatment such as cognitive behaviour therapy.Good luck.
Sorry I alwauys thoughtthat Prozac was effective in perpetuity
I am not on it at the moment ,but i do hope that it will work again when i need to go back on it which with depression anxiety is not an if but when.
Perhaps give yourself a sabatical and make up your mind that you will go back on it at a certain date , you perhaps know by this time your depression cycle .
as far as recomending something isnt there something that you want to do something that came to you whilst you were on medication?
Cant you get to the real root of your depression tablets suppress in the long run surely exercise is good long brisk walks that's what i do when I'm feeling down there again its easy to say things so i hope you get on OK what ever you do
I think its time you went back to your doctor and told him you are feeling unhappy maybe he can give you some other drug that will help.
coming down off Prozac will do this for months so why not ask you GP for 10 mg Diazepam that should hold you steady

Mental Problems?
Look, there are quite a few quirks in me which I still don't get, and I would like a nice answer to maybe see what is it that goes inside my head. I have numbered them, so maybe you can answer each you one numbered as well. Feel free to present experiences and ideas as well. And remember: Promote RESPECT. No trolling nor flaming please.

01: Sometimes, I leave my iPod on when I go to sleep, and without noticing, I may have the song in repeat. Eventually, when I wake up, it sounds different. I may hear it again, but it may have a different tone, like high pitched beat, or squeeky voice.
02: As I said above about music, I sometimes hear songs at different paces. At times, I listen to fast paced beats, meanwhile I hear the same one maybe another day at a slower pace. Don't know why. :S
03: For some reason, people are attracted to eyes and hands... I'm attracted to feet, and glasses for some reason as well...
Thanks In Advance For Your Help!
Answer:
You might have a hearing poblem with regards one and two, or a problem with the part of your brain that affects hearing. Do you hear sounds differently often? So long as you don't hear voices or feel paranoia connected with it, I think you're fine.
Foot fetishes are perfectly normal (to do with mix-ups in the part of your brain that controls arousal, as genitalia is next to feet in the body map... or something), and liking glasses is, although not as well heard of, not exactly going to harm anybody. Possibly it is a sign of liking intelligence/older people, depending on circumstance.
I hope that helped.

Welcome to the rest of us.
Almighty God is the best Healer. Get connected with Him by repentance and prayers, and He can give you a wonderful life of peace, joy, and hope. God loves you, and you are precious to Him.

Mental problem?
I need help and need to know whether this is a mental illness or something less serious.
I don't feel as though I have a personality and constantly try to invent a personality by faking my voice and emotions.
I'm constantly react in a forced and non genuine way, I seem to have lost my personality and don't know how to talk and communicate effectively.
I'm on a work trial and it is effecting my communication on the phone and with work staff, people are starting to realise that I'm not genuine and they are beginning to hate me.
I'm constantly aware of my presence, but I'm just don;t know how to comminicate to otther people without forming a false personality and voice.
How do I act normal
What is wrong with me?
I don't recognise myself anymore and can't relate myself to the past.

Go out with some people from work and drink like 7 beers, and everyone will love you.Alcohol is the answer temporarly...Maybe if you go out and get drunk with some other people, and they realise your pretty cool, maybe you won't have to pretend to be anyone else...if you still have a problem then see your doctor you could have social anxiety and zolof or whatever that stuff is can fix it.
look up borderline personality disorder.
one of the symptoms is:
Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are.
Sounds to me as though your showing signs of skitophrenia (MInd the spelling) or you are extremly depressed. Do you have panic / anxiety attacks? I know these symptoms as i have recently been through the same sort of thing , im now on medicationfor lfe although i am myself again . Go to the docs and speak to them and they will refer you if need be. 40 mg citalopram would help.
i would have a nice holliday relax and that might losen you up
No, you sound to be like a normal american citizen
It sounds as though you may be going through personal identity crisis. Talk to a professional as they can help you sort out your thoughts and feelings. Try not to become discouraged as this does occur occassionally. Follow your own instincts and what your likes and dislikes are for start. You really do know yourself best and no one needs to change themselves. Perhaps you are trying to "fit in". Talk to someone. Contact mental health in you area.
It sounds like you're under a lot of stress. You need to go see a doctor and tell her/him what you've posted here. They should refer you to a counselor for testing. Testing should help you identify what's going on. It sounds like counseling would be helpful to you. There may be medication that can help, too. Call your doctor today. If you call and talk to the nurse, the doctor may be able to make a referral and get you to someone who can help right away.
Don't continue to suffer. Life is too short for that. Do something about it today, even if it's just making the appointment.
Find your voice don't feel bad for some reason you feel iniquity.
Hi there
to me this sounds unclear, it could be something such as depression, or it could be something more complex although treatable. i think you should contact your GP though, and not rely on an answer from us.
I think you are probably suffering from low self esteem. You may be doing this because you are nervous or because you want people to like you or accept you.
You can get books on how to improve self esteem or you could go on a confidence course.
I am not sure how old you are but i felt more like that when i was younger. If you have identified a problem you are half way there. Try to be yourself if possible but it is difficult at work as you try to put on a work persona because of your work duties and what the company expects of you. You need to develop your own style and not copy others.
Many people are not as confident as they seem and their confidence may not be how they feel inside. Some people act as if they are confident that is they imagine how a confident person would act and take on those characteristics.
You are not a fake you are just learning about yourself and where you fit in. It is hard if where you are working is very competitive and people have cliques or groups they hang round in if you feel you need to be in with the in crowd to be accepted. You have said what you are doing is not working so try something else. If you get overanxious about it it could make it worse. Try to chill a little and work out who you want to be rather than what you are expected to be.
This could be a symptom of many different things. Maybe:
1) depression. Maybe you have been depressed for some time with out actually realising.dignosing it, which result in you feeling like this now
2) Autistic spectrum - where one of the symptoms would include the inability to form relationships/friendships, and then need to compensate by rehearsed - non genuine conversation, in order to fit in with society.
3) very low self esteem and just not knowing who youare. Maybe CBT would help with this? Might be worth looking into?? Cognitive behavoiur therapy.
Talk to your GP about this. You dont want to go thorugh life feeling like this, 1 in 3 people suffer with mental health, so dont feel alone or like you are the first to tell a GP you feel like this. Maybe you will be referred to the mental health team, so they can assess you.
see a dcotor you might be sufering borderlin bipolar disorder

Go out with some people from work and drink like 7 beers, and everyone will love you.Alcohol is the answer temporarly...Maybe if you go out and get drunk with some other people, and they realise your pretty cool, maybe you won't have to pretend to be anyone else...if you still have a problem then see your doctor you could have social anxiety and zolof or whatever that stuff is can fix it.
look up borderline personality disorder.
one of the symptoms is:
Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are.
Sounds to me as though your showing signs of skitophrenia (MInd the spelling) or you are extremly depressed. Do you have panic / anxiety attacks? I know these symptoms as i have recently been through the same sort of thing , im now on medicationfor lfe although i am myself again . Go to the docs and speak to them and they will refer you if need be. 40 mg citalopram would help.
i would have a nice holliday relax and that might losen you up
No, you sound to be like a normal american citizen
It sounds as though you may be going through personal identity crisis. Talk to a professional as they can help you sort out your thoughts and feelings. Try not to become discouraged as this does occur occassionally. Follow your own instincts and what your likes and dislikes are for start. You really do know yourself best and no one needs to change themselves. Perhaps you are trying to "fit in". Talk to someone. Contact mental health in you area.
It sounds like you're under a lot of stress. You need to go see a doctor and tell her/him what you've posted here. They should refer you to a counselor for testing. Testing should help you identify what's going on. It sounds like counseling would be helpful to you. There may be medication that can help, too. Call your doctor today. If you call and talk to the nurse, the doctor may be able to make a referral and get you to someone who can help right away.
Don't continue to suffer. Life is too short for that. Do something about it today, even if it's just making the appointment.
Find your voice don't feel bad for some reason you feel iniquity.
Hi there
to me this sounds unclear, it could be something such as depression, or it could be something more complex although treatable. i think you should contact your GP though, and not rely on an answer from us.
I think you are probably suffering from low self esteem. You may be doing this because you are nervous or because you want people to like you or accept you.
You can get books on how to improve self esteem or you could go on a confidence course.
I am not sure how old you are but i felt more like that when i was younger. If you have identified a problem you are half way there. Try to be yourself if possible but it is difficult at work as you try to put on a work persona because of your work duties and what the company expects of you. You need to develop your own style and not copy others.
Many people are not as confident as they seem and their confidence may not be how they feel inside. Some people act as if they are confident that is they imagine how a confident person would act and take on those characteristics.
You are not a fake you are just learning about yourself and where you fit in. It is hard if where you are working is very competitive and people have cliques or groups they hang round in if you feel you need to be in with the in crowd to be accepted. You have said what you are doing is not working so try something else. If you get overanxious about it it could make it worse. Try to chill a little and work out who you want to be rather than what you are expected to be.
This could be a symptom of many different things. Maybe:
1) depression. Maybe you have been depressed for some time with out actually realising.dignosing it, which result in you feeling like this now
2) Autistic spectrum - where one of the symptoms would include the inability to form relationships/friendships, and then need to compensate by rehearsed - non genuine conversation, in order to fit in with society.
3) very low self esteem and just not knowing who youare. Maybe CBT would help with this? Might be worth looking into?? Cognitive behavoiur therapy.
Talk to your GP about this. You dont want to go thorugh life feeling like this, 1 in 3 people suffer with mental health, so dont feel alone or like you are the first to tell a GP you feel like this. Maybe you will be referred to the mental health team, so they can assess you.

Mental power?
I am a sort of bright student.(I've scored 93% in my last class). But when I attend some other class (like NTSE classes or anything extra-curricular like that), I find that the mental alertness is not there.(like, I learn a new concept, and the teacher gives some notes on that. But I fully understand the concept, only when I got through it at home slowly). Again,during class room situations, I seem to be very slow(I am doing the 3rd ques when my friend etc are doing the 8th etc) My speed seems to decline considerably in the classroom, while i can do the same thing quite fast at home.
Please give my some tips to increase my speed. Thanks
Answer:
Everyone learns at their own pace. Being able to regurgiate information isn't a way to decide intelligence.
Slower learning means you will also retain the information longer. So don't change a thing. If it is a big concern talk to your teach and maybe you can get some in school assistance.
If you are in college you might get an hour or two of tutoring and use it to talk to them about study habbits.
Out side of those ideas, many people turn to meditation and breathing techniques to help remove the stress of situations where they might feel a tendancy to get a mental block when they feel on the spot.
Concentration.
At ur home ur relaxed in ur own atmosphere
friends put u off and ppl in class mayb u cud do sum stuff in a quiet classroom on ur own in lunch break or after school
also take omega three its good for ya and ur brain
Anxiety can affect how you comprehend questions.

Mental lapses and the law?
my freind over the past couple of years has had major problems at times blacking out but he is still functioning talking and going own with various things and then comes out of it and has no idea of anything said or done during that time now he is being accused of stealing money from his job what can he do will he get full jail time or what he is also seekind sychiatrick help as well
Answer:
He needs to get a lawyer. He probably needs the psychiatric help also. Whether or not he gets jail time will depend on a number of factors, such as, how much money was involved, and whether or not he's guilty... also, much will depend on what his lawyer and his psychiatrist can come up with.

Mental issue?
Yeah i just feel so weird about school work, i feel as if though i dont get a 90% on all my work im a failure and will never get anywhere.
So what can i do to not feel like that?
And without stressing myself with hours of studying?
Answer:
It is good that you are motivated, but obviously this bothers you, so I suggest you try to accept yourself as normal and that you don't have to compete with anyone but yourself. No one is perfect and you shouldn't obsess about it.
First off, there's nothing wrong with wanting to do well in school. I wish I had had that sort of drive when I was in school. I never studied and just breezed through both HS and university.
I'd get a healthy balance going of studying and fun. Maybe some exercise for stress reduction.
Eat healthy, meditate, journal, exercise and try to enjoy life. If you are really having problems dealing with this see a counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist to get the proper diagnosis.;
Get a social life.
Read page 2 at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~ (.net.nz/~shaneris) and practise one of the 5 relaxation methods there, and see the conquering stress site. Also http://www.coping.org Repeat and write down 5 times every morning: "It's OK to be less than perfect."

Mental Illness questions?
I have a 20 yr. old son that really has some issues and I'm worried for him. The following are some of the things he does: Won't ever get a job (always has a great excuse for this), thinks he's superior over everyone else, moves around living w/different friends (sleeps on the couch), mood swings like crazy. He loves to play mind games with everybody, especially me. Sometimes, I wonder the last time he even took a shower. He was brought up in a good home, I am a single mom, but he always had everything he needed. But, for the last 3 years or so, he seems like he's possessed or something. I did cut the string from him 2 yrs. ago to try tough love. But still he won't do anything with his life. He is starting to scare me. Should I just let him figure this out on his own? Is he sick or what's going on. He's really into that Goth kind of stuff. I know he's an adult but, I am his mother and care. HELP!!
Answer:
Sounds like my son, he is bipolar. You should send him to a counselor. It sounds like he is depressed and has no direction in life like mine. That is part of being bipolar. Yours might not be bipolar but he maybe depressed. He needs someone else to give him direction in life. My son is slowly getting there.
I'd suggest that you let him know you're worried and even suggest counselling/seeing a doctor and if he doesn't completely refuse, drive him to one and since he has no money, if you can, offer to help out in that area.
hes depressed
because he needs a dad in his life
true he has lived with out one so long
but maybe now theres things in his life that you dont know about and he needs a dad to talk to about them
i think you should take him and get some coucleing
It sounds like to me that he has depression...you should try to get him to talk to a doctor or a counselor.
They must have been talking about a mother's love when they said "love is blind". I understand that you love and care for him, but he has to grow up, get out on his own and make a life for himself.
Are you supplying him with spending money? Stop! Giving him free room and board? Stop! Making his life easier than your own? STOP! He's old enough.
If you can get him to a doctor and have him checked for manic depression, you should ask the doctor to do a urine test for drugs as well. There is more going on than just youthful laziness.
Be sure to take care of yourself, as I know this must be very draining.
This is a serious problem. I would advise you without going in detail you should take him to a psychiatrist urgently.

Mental illness is the major cause of lost years out of a healthy life. What are your thoughts?
Answer:
I'm bipolar so I know what a devastating effect it can have on a person's life--suicidal thoughts, acting out on them, depressed to the point of not getting out of bed, etc.
Yet, is this any different than the years lost to a family that has to deal with domestic violence? The beatings, the lies, the father threatening the kids if they help their mother or try to get help will take a toll for years on them. Obviously there will be a degree of some kind of mental illness involved. It may be something as inocuous as incapacitation later on when trying to establish relationships.
There are so many other things that can cripple one's emotions--PTSD for our returning troops, post-partum depression, for example. While these are treated by mental health professionals, there is the distinct possibility the person can return to a normal life.
A schizophrenic may never regain lost years and actually continue to lose years throughout his/her life. Someone with Bipolar I or even II may live in a fog until the appropriate drugs are found to alleviate the symptoms.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'd rather have a recognized mental illness treated with psychotherapy by a qualified psychiatrist and medication than to lose years by having both legs removed because of poor eating habits/health care leading to diabetes or to be minimally aware of my surroundings from a brain injury.
Lost years cannot be replaced. Remaining years can be enhanced by enjoying what you missed during your suffering.
And, who is to say those years were lost? Throughout my worst depressions and hospitalizations I learned a lot about myself and the people I surrounded myself with. I learned how to get rid of the toxic ones and concern myself with me.
Are you saying that mental illness helps you die younger? Sure, that's probably true. Healthy life? Eh, I don't know how much about mental illness is a healthy life, hence the word illness.
I'm living proof. I haven't had a healthy life in years, due to depression, social phobia and traits of borderline/avoidant/dependant personality disorders.
I absolutely agree. Many times people don't even realize that they have a problem for several years. This is loss of valuable time in life--which surely is short enough.
Remember that alcoholism, eating disorders, drug addictions, and excessive stress are all within the mental health category--in addition, of course, to schitzophrenia, bipolar, depression, OCD, PTSD, panic and anxiety, ADHD, and the list keeps growing.
Someone dependent upon alcohol or drugs is truly losing a lot of time--that could have been used to reach for their goals and dreams. Basically, anyone with any type of mental disorder is losing valuable time until the time when they begin getting treatment.
Often, mental illness can cause physical illness--and visa-versa.
True, but it's never too late to live, as long as your'e not dead yet.
I don't believe I've ever met anyone who was not mentally ill, laboring under the weight of some delusion or another. Then I am called mentally ill for noting this, by the mentally ill I made note of. I can only conclude that I may be wiser to be more discrete when dealing with the inhabitants of this unhappy place.
I agree but I also know that I am the only one that can CHOOSE to try and change it. I have been in therapy for years and am getting a divorce from someone who brings me down. Things will not change overnight as they never do but I have hope. I have spent many miserable years trapped in my house with agoraphobia and depression among other things. If you suffer from this I do wish you the best~
Very true, but once it is given back you can only look forward and spend your time wisely. You learn as much as you lose, I believe. It makes you stronger, like any disease, when you come out of it.
Generally, you may lose years out of your life due to the direct and indirect effects of a mental illness, yes.

Mental illness and virgina tech shooting?
Just curious if there was any further information on the shooter's mental illness. I read something suggesting he was suffering from an illness but what was the illness. has anyone said yet?
Answer:
Many people have said that he was a paranoid schizophrenic. However, not experiencing pychosis at the time of the shooting.
There should be no place in society for those with mental illness. You see the results of trying to coddle them: 32 dead.
The shooter was one of those idiots who thinks all his problems are caused by other people and blames everyone else. A real wack job. That's all you need to know.
"It came after university police said that Cho had been accused of stalking women students and was taken to a psychiatric hospital in 2005 because of worries he was suicidal. A Virginia court order issued at the time declared him "mentally ill" and said he presented "an imminent danger to self or others," ABC News reported."
""Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats? Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs? Your trust fund wasn't enough? ... Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs? You had everything.""
And there was this:

Not really answering your question just wanted to say to the first person that answered to get a grip. you clearly don't have a clue about mental health illnesses and don't put us all in the same box. if you had your way 3/4 of the world would be locked away. I wounder what an evaluation would make of you as its certainly not normal to say 3/4 of the world should be locked away.
That's just the media taking something out of someone's record and sensationalizing it. There is a HUGE difference in being "suicidal" and being "homicidal."
They are just looking for that special angle to put their own twist on the story.
There's no denying he was delusional. Conclusively deciding to take as many people with him as he could, because he felt victimized or tormented or whatever his excuse was.
He knew that he would become famous, even posthumously, and therefore receive his 15 minutes of fame. He got lucky and broke the record. NOW, his name will live on forever as the worst mass shooter in US history. At least until some copy-cat who sees all the attention Cho got, and tries to break THAT record. There are far too many people desperate for attention out there, and the media feeds them this need for fame.
Why don't these attention seeking whackos ever shoot up the places that NEED to be cleansed?? Like the NBC studios? Or Al Sharpton's radio show?
A mass shooting on the Mexican border would draw unprecedented media attention to the illegal immigrant problem... they would have to shut down the border!!
But NO, it's always some douche walking into an school full of kids, or a restaurant.
Just worry about being nicer to people. All the time, especially new kids in school. And you losers who think the in-crowd rich kids are cool enough to sucked-up to by your picking on shy kids? Lookout, you. -They'll get you bone-yard dead along with them, baby. Its becoming fashionable lately. Snotty kids are soon-to-be an endangered species.
There is inadequate information so far. Certainly it is possible he could have had a mental disorder, but his actions could be fully explained by being evil, or by being a normal person on drugs.
In any case, it is exceptionally rare for people with mental disorders to commit violent crimes directly due to the symptoms from their disorder. In the vast majority of cases, other factors are more important, such as being evil, killing for drugs, marital abuse, etc, etc, etc.
To put it bluntly, you are far less likely to be killed by someone because of their mental disorder than you are to be killed by anyone else.
The comment that I have here is only that someone dropped the ball if I as a mental health professional had a client who was presenting with the type of antisocial behavior this man was my first a foremost priority would be to get him out of the public and get him the help he needed where were the counselors at this school when a professor tells you other students are afraid to be in class with him and that he is being taught on a one on one basis because of it the red flags should have went up every where yes I know it is hard to have some one declared incompetent but it can be done if they present a danger to themselves or others in this young mans case I doubt many judges would have had a problem ordering him to treatment the country on a whole must understand this could have been avoided if the proper actions had been taken we need to look at how underfunded our mental health system is and how we can fix it and make sure that school counselors are also mental health counselors and are empowered to take action to prevent things like this from taking place

what is rapid cycling?
Answer:
Rapid cycling is something that some people with bipolar experience. It means cycling from mania (or hypomania) to depression and back again at least 4 times in one year. Ultra-rapid cycling (also called rapid rapid cycling) occurs over shorter time periods. "Ultradian" rapid cycling includes cycles in a single day. I have personally witnessed ultradian cycling first hand and close up, and it's wild, not in a good way.
When a person goes through emotional states (depression/mania basically) pretty fast in a cycle...
Rapid cycling is being depressed for days and sleeping awhile lot next your up and can't sleep for nothing. I have a friend who is a rapid cycler she'll be up for a week or so and she'll ,talking a mile a minute then she'lll sleep a lot for another week She's been better with new meds. Good luck !

Mental Health Question?
What are some ways that a major catastrophe can affect someones mental health?
I'm writing an English Research paper about How a major catastrophe can affect someones mental health. We are also trying to compare it back to the book "Alas, Babylon"
Any suggestions?
Answer:
I would suggest looking up the statistics on mental illnesses in New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina. That was a major catastrophe. I'm sure there is similar data on other hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and large fires available through a diligent search of the Internet.
I am unfamiliar with the book cited but there have already been some books and Magazine articles written about experiences during and after Hurricane Katrina. It is usually easy to find these from the archives of major magazines or by a search on Amazon.com.
a major catastrophy can cause post traumatic stress disorder, ptsd applies to alot more than just the veterans people hear about, check some of the ways it affects people
I was abused as a child wich was very catastrophic for me when i finally was forced to remember just some of it. I have numerous mental disorders and such some from the abuse and some from genetics. I would love to chat with you. email me at evilles666@yahoo.com I will answer for sure.

i have been in a mental hospital in and out patience 10 times, no joke. going to the hospital only worked when i told myself i wanted to get better lots of times i was put on a hold and had to stay 72 hours even if i said no. it also depends on which hospital you go to some are horrid but some are really nice. i normally stay like one month and i am a teenager so i have always been in the adolescent unit.
I went into the psyche ward of a hospital to detox from oxycontin. I was also depressed. Although it was very scary my first day there I got so much out of the experience.
I was in there with people who strictly had depression and mental problems as well as addicts who were detoxing. It turned out we pretty much all had the same sort of problems going on.
Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist vs. Mental Health Nurse Practitioner?
What's the difference? I am doing an oral report tommorow, and I am trying to think of a conclusion. Thanks!
Answer:
The Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse who specializes in psychiatric nursing care issues of children, adolescents and adults who have mental health and substance abuse disorders.
A Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (MHNP), also known as Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, work in primary care facilities, outpatient mental health clinics, as well as in hospitals and community health centers. MHNP evaluate and provide care for patients who have anything from psychiatric disorders, medical mental conditions to substance abuse problems. They are licensed to provide emergency psychiatric services, psychosocial and physical assessment of their patients, treatment plans, and continually manage their care. They may also serve as consultants or as educators for families and staff; however, the MHNP has a greater focus on psychiatric diagnosis, including the differential diagnosis of medical disorders with psychiatric symptoms, and on medication treatment for psychiatric disorders. They can also prescribe medication.
Hope this helps.

Mental Health Agency - treated with 'dignity and respect'? NO!!?
Does anyone know where to turn when you don't have insurance and the psychiatrist you were told to go to by your therapist for 'med management' behaves completely unethically, bordering on, if not, being verbally abusive? My brother, an attorney in another state, said to deal with it with my therapist, but there's got to be some place else I can turn to. I'm scared to go back to that facility, if that's even still an option, and I need meds. I came out of that session wanting to drive my car into the river...what's wrong with that picture?? Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Answer:
The Psychiatrist works for the agency. There is usually more than one person in the agency that can do med. management.
First go to the Care Coordinator of the (therapist case manager) then if no help is received to your satisfaction, Contact the Clinical Director of the Facility. Tell them the situation. If you don't get to see a different psych. then go to the Executive Director of the Mental Health Facility.
There is always a chain of command in whatever mental health organization your going to. Just keep going up the chain until you get what you need.
Each of those persons should have an open door policy and enable you to make an appointment with each as needed.
Burnout in psychiatrists can cause them to be unprofessional and their superiors need to know. They WORK for the organization.
An added note: If you do not think you can advocate on your own behalf, sign a release stating the organization can speak to your brother and have him call and do it for you!
well you need to report him, so that you get your revenge and he doesnt do it to someone else.
i think you should contact the american psychiatrist asssociation
I agree with your brother. Go back and tell your therapist what happened and that you need a place to get your meds. The therapist needs this information to give you a different referral to get your meds. that`s the most important issue . regarding the abusive behavior by the psychiatrist i am not surprised they are all a little off key. Write a letter to both facilities and make your complaint known or have your brother write it on his bussiness letter head paper it might get their attention if a lawyer writes a letter or complaint. Good luck. What you have in front of you is a big ship to sink,
I just got rid of a psychiatrist that was keeping me over medicated. I was lucky to find a good nurse practitioner (they can prescribe in MA anyway) so you may want to look into that. Did anyone else see his verbal abuse? No, you shouldn't have been treated like that insurance or not. If you do go to a lawyer tell him how the treatment caused suicidal ideation i.e. reckless driving. Definitely, tell your therapist and consult the resources below i.e. patients bill of rights and phone no. to APA. I am so sorry this happened to you but I'm not surprised I've been treated badly on welfare insurance. Good Luck and hope you can get med assistance elsewhere.
every where you go there is a complaint process. They should have a handbook telling you of your rights and how to file a complaint. You can call the agency to get the name and address of quality control, but always put your complaint in writing. Telling someone is fine, but when it's in writing the organization has to follow through because you've started a paper trail and it's trackable (phone calls are not and e-mail doesn't have your signature)

Mental exhaustion symptoms?
I believe that I am physically and mentally exhuasted and need to know what to do about it?
Symptoms...
Wanting to go to sleep alot
Lethergy
Feeling run down alot
Very low body temperatures (34.7*C or 94.4*F) when waking
Feeling as though everything is piontless and meaningless
Feeling of mandaneness to everything
Feeling exhausted like a paraniod would, thinking "Do I really need to bother with this issue"
Overwhelming sense of "I cannot be bothered"
Everything has no feeling of meaning
I never seem to feel much emotion
I never want to do anything, other than stop working
Feeling as though everything is sort of "dry and desert lke, like there is no water" metaphorically speaking. I can't get nothing out of anything.
I feel like everything is dead.
I do not feel sad or low though, just very tired all the time.
The situations to which I have to exert my self is well out of my control, like medical problems, money problems etc, happening a lot
What should I do?
Answer:
Sounds like you are suffering from acute depression and, with all you are going through, no wonder! Some people (like myself) have problems with chronic depression. No matter what is going on in my life, I am depressed; medication helpse manage it. Other people experience depression brought on by stresses in their life. It may be temporary, but still warrants treatment.
My suggestion would be to see a counselor or psychiatrist who can properly determine if you have depression or some other ailment. Do not feel bad about seeking help for this; it is a disease just like having a flu or anything else "physical" and treatment such as therapy and/or medication may really help. People suffering from depression complain that they 'never enjoy anything' and this is what really made me think it could be a psychological condition you are suffering from. Good luck.
hi, sounds like u have been (and are) going through a lot...it seems things have been quite difficult for u! i'm sorry to hear that...
well, i'm not an expert doctor, but here are some steps i suggest u follow:
first of all, have a check up to find out if ur blood hasn't weakened i.e. that nothing is wrong with u physically bcoz if u r low on b12 or something then maybe that's y u r feeling this way!
if u r fine physically, u need to be evaluated mentally. u sound depressed to me or perhaps psychologically burn out as u suggested. maybe some counseling would help u deal with the stress more effectively and pass through the stuff u have been having to deal with...
when things go wrong, we could really start experiencing it in our bodies and we need a way to relieve ourselves from the effect of our burdens..u need to move out of this difficult circle u r in so that u could start focusing on the good stuff in ur life so that u get more of it (the good stuff)..
i know talk is easy, but i really hope u get through this and things get better for u!
good luck!
I hear what you are going through, it's a very busy busy life. You may think this not a good idea but lay off the cokes and coffee to a min. and then only when you are having an extremely stressful day. Try to get a pattern of sleep with about 8-10 hours. Take a book or something to draw, just make it your time until you fall alseep. Drink a glass of water every hour and hydrate your body. Take your walking chores as exercise and put your favorite soothing music with you, plug it in and just wave to all those people you don't want to talk with. Console those you do.

Mental dullness?
I've done an IQ test and I scored at a little above average, yet My mind feels dull and blank at times. For example when I am buying something in a shop, I can never work out quickly in my mind how much change I should get. I'm depressed most of the time is this the cause?
Answer:
sluggishness of judgment could be due to depression some times. It has nothing to do with your above average IQ. Some people are know to have extraordinary IQ, and they fail to perform daily routine works, but their IQ is not mere above average. Their IQ is too high in comparison to normal population. There are only 40-50 people in this world who have high IQ like this.
it could be
Your just probably getting frustrated when out in public.
Yes, depression is the cause. Depression makes you go dull or blank.
The environment in shops is engineered to make you feel dull, they figure if you are on auto-pilot you will make purchases without over-analysing and therefore spend more.
As for working out your change, do you do lots of mental arithmetic or is it just when you are buying something that you think about it?
If you want to improve your ability to do calculations in your head you need to practice, the more you practice the easier it gets. Same as everything else...

Mental disorders?
A womans sister was raped and killed , her father died of a heart attack when he heard of this, her brother was killed, and she was put in foster care. She is now on a bloody massacre of all decendants of the person who raped her sister and killed her entire family. What type of mental disorder would you consider her to have? or sites that could help me?
Answer:
Are you having to diagnose this for a class? Did you check the DSM IV?
Dissociative disorder?
Paranoid schizophrenia?
It's been a long time since I had to do one of these.
She needs professional help- no online site is equipped to handle the range of mental issues this girl has, at the very least, she is delusional and psychotic---get her to a mental health clinic- she needs meds and therapy.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder among other things.
this is not a job for amateur psychiatrists.
You're playing with things you don't understand.
Call a mental health hotline or 911 and give it to the professionals.
You have take her to a psychiatric Doctor she needs medication, and she should be under supervision, i know lot of bad things have happen to her, it is not easy to forgive and for get the past, you should try to help her take her for counseling, prayers, therapy. forgiveness is very important, harboring of hatred destroys the very person who harbors , reconciliation if possible or she needs courage to forget the fast, read books on forgiveness, take example of people who have forgiven those who have hurt them so much.

Mental disorder?
i know...i know...i have been diagnosed with adhdand have taken a drug for "happy pills" for deppressionmy question is this...will that hold me back form passing a fedrial back round check...(to purchuse a fire arm...)
Answer:
Yeah you probably wont be able to get one nor should you be able to get one. If you have a mental disorder you cant purshase a firearm so NO!
not sure. you would have to do some research on that. why would you want a fire arm?
i dont think its a good idea for someone with depression to try to purchase a fire arm.
just my opinion.
You should be able to purchase a fire arm as long as no doctor has ever checked a "danger to himself or others" box for your depression. Do you really want a gun though?
No. It only prevents people who have been COMMITTED to a hospital from obtaining a gun.
If you have never been committed by a judge, then no problem.

Mental disorder?
I know someone who is a pathological liar. Everything this person says is a complete lie. I am starting to wonder if this person is delusional or if they are just cold hearted. I don't know if there are mental disorders that could cause this or if medication could help this situation. I am also trying to figure out a way to tell this person that they need not lie to me. I am so sick of it I could seriously walk away from this person and never talk to them again, although i don't want to do that if in fact this habitual lying could be caused by some kind of mental disorder. Thoughts?
Answer:
pathological in itself implies a mental disorder. I'm not sure whether it is an actual diagnosis or not, but I don't think it's because he/she is cold-hearted. There's something definitely off about that, and maybe you could suggest going to a psychiatrist or something.
and to the post above me--being delusional is a form of mental disorder too, such as paranoid schizophrenia and other stuff. so i dont think it should be dismissed ilke that.
this person is delusional. seriously walk away from this person and never talk to them again- stop fantasizing about a medical cure.
If you're a true friend, drag this person, kicking and screaming and whatever, to a therapist.
If you're not that good a friend, strongly suggest they get therapy and then move on.
Well the first girl that answered is very unkind you don't through someone away. You friend is mentally ill a Pathological Liar doesn't always know they are lying they believe what they say.
I have a 40 yr old niece that lies through her teeth and most times thinks she is telling the truth. So urge your friend to get help
Do you know why they are lying to you? Are they lying to attempt to get something from you perhaps? Or do they just seem to have no idea what they're doing?
Are the lies in any way believable or are they just grandiose and almost silly? Do they contain any unreal elements, like "Oh, I didn't catch the bus here, I flew in my space ship!". If so, that may indicate a level of schizophrenia - they're not lying, they just see the world in a far stranger way than the average person does.
If they're attempting to make you do something, they could just be opportunistic or they may have Antisocial Personality Disorder. If the latter - be careful. Try not to let them take advantage of you in either case. What you're saying about coldheartedness - that could be a symptom of Antisocial Personality Disorder - they can't care about anyone else but themselves and see everyone as an opportunity to increase their pleasure and power.
Antisocial Personality Disorder sufferers sometimes have very grandiose ("awesome lies" as Homer Simpson says) lies - but schizophrenic perceptions/delusions are often wholly fantastic. Schizophrenia is somewhat treatable with anti-psychotic medication coupled with therapy.
Whatever the result - try and follow up on this - if the person has schizophrenia, they're going to need help, they might be a danger to themselves - if they have Antisocial Personality Disorder - they may be a danger to others and someone needs to know in any case. They could also just be an exploitative person as well - so watch yourself!

Mental disorder?
To start off, until recently I've been more self-kept. Not totally anti-social but very few friends to help me by, as I said until recently I've actually been going out with friends hanging out etc.
So I keep a lot of **** inside of me, anger, frustration but there are moments which happen every once in a while where I have spasm-like moments. Not like terrets but more like frustration outbreaks where I'll twitch and kind of mummble, not load like a yell but like a "baahh." Ha, but yeah, I have those moments, does anyone know what this is? With this, I can't bring myself to a yell, I have never screamed.
Also, I have very acute hearing so just little taps that I haven't heard will bring me into a slight moment of paranoia.
Know what the hell this is? I've had this since I was a child.
Answer:
You poor thing, it would be really hard for u not knowing why ur behaviour of late has been like this. I have sufferd Social Phobia %26 paranoia was a big effect for me so I can relate to the accute hearing %26 being paranoid.
I think councelling by a Psychologist would be ur best bet as keeping emotions locked up inside can cause terrible side effects.
Good Luck
xx
You really need to go to the doctor. Thats not normal.
u might be schizophrenic
Well, first off, there are numerous types of terrets!
Secondly, I have a pretty good idea I think of what your dealing with. I've felt like that too. Where I really just don't have any interest in other people. It seems so much easier to just "let things go", but when you get down to it, your still holding onto all of the crap going on!
And I understand the times when you just want to yell! Sometimes it seems like slow motion might be better, but then things would be boring..so..nothing seems to work..
Thirdly, I would say that even though it may be kinda scary, making an appointment with a counselor or psyhcologist(not psyhchiatrist) would be your first step. Just be honest, and real about whats going on. I know that theres a kind of stigma for people in counseling, but they are the ones really taking care of themselves too.
Self diagnosis is not the best way to go. There are so many specifics and different kinds of EVERYTHING...Remember, psychologists did have to endure YEARS of school to know what they know.
Just find someone you feel comfprtable with. Don't settle.
Isn't that titus the ear infection where sounds drive you crazy and sound alot louder then they actually are.
If someone upsets you then say something you don't have to be outright rude just subtle this will make you fell better the keepping it inside.
It sounds like paranoid schizophrenia..however they are so many different kinds of mental illness. I can't believe you have went this long without seeing someone. Please go to the doctor and he will send you to someone who can help you and get you on meds to help you live a normal life. hang in there and know you are not alone! Good Luck

Mental abuse?
someone is making an effort to mentally abuse me every time i see them. They are taking advantage of my good will, love and kindness. They arent doing it in obvious ways but by covert means. When they were sure they had me controlled and won by their charms they were more blunt in the abuse but now they are doing it more subversivly. What does someone get out of emotionally or mentally abusing or taking advantage of another?
Answer:
it is a power trip. People like that are control freaks and can and will hurt others to obtain their desired wants. If this is making you feel victimized you need to get out of this situation right now, and protect yourself from such people. Your needs matter first, and if someone is taking control over you, this is a sign that you may be in danger.
It makes them feel better about themselves it is sick I know. Please get out of that situation
Whom ever this is doesn't have too much self esteem and the fact that you are noticing this is to be commended. More than likely they don't feel too good about themselves. Muster everything you have and get out of this situation. No one deserves to be taken advantage of. It hurts.

Mental "re-programming"?
I don't know about anyone else but I have often thought that I could use some "re-programming". There are some things I just don't like about myself and as much as I try, I have made little progress in several areas. Other areas such as alcoholism I have made huge strides and things are great there.
Has anyone heard of any therapy that can produce a type of mental re-programming that does not have adverse effects?
Answer:
Good for you for your success in your steps to stay sober. That is a remarkable feat and I am happy for you. As far as "re-programming", I am sure that most people would agree with that thought at one point or another. However, have you tried a behavioral counselor? Habits or doing certain things are a sort of a program when you get down to it. I think the trick might be to figure out WHY you do certain things so you can stop doing them. A little understanding on our actions usually goes a long way in avoiding them, OR approaching things in a different way. I guess I would call that re training yourself to act differently in different situations. I wish you the best of luck.
perhaps hypnosis is worth a try.

Dr David Burns has many good books, such as "The Feeling Good Book," to change negative thinking and habits to positive.
EMDR works for a many people. You need to work with a psychologist or licensed social worker who has received special training. I did this for a while and felt as though I got terrific results.
Maybe you could learn to grow up and accept what you don;t have the guts to change. If you really don;t like something about the way you are or act, then change it.
These types of self-esteem issues are generally best handled during adolescence. I think the best thing that you can hope for is finding a good therapist who can help you get to the root of your problem. It sounds like your issue with alcoholism could have been caused in part by those self-image issues.
Hypnosis may also help. My personal experience with it isn't very good, but of course everyone is different.
I hope you find the help you need.

Menopause and emotional roller coaster?
I am currently going through menopause and have been on an emotional roller coaster for the last 4 months. It is driving me and my poor hubby nuts. It feels uncontrolable and I work hard to keep it to myself as much as I can. I find myself upset at nothing and the really big stuff doesn't mean a thing to me. I guess I could compare it to being Bi-polar as there are very high highs and rock bottom lows. Any advise out there about maybe some suppliments I could be taking? I have lost 50 pounds in the last four months. I have been dieting to do it. I excersise a lot and try to eat the right things. But the emotional stuff is making my life hard. I can't take estrogen as I have had breast cancer about five years ago and estrogen was the trigger according to my doctors. My religion has helped me a lot but would like to hear from other gals who have had the same problems. I am not big on taking lots of meds. Thanks.
Answer:
Merry meeting. I have gone through the same thing when I lost 60pounds in 3 months the emotional roller coaster.That was when I was 29 .Now I am going through menopause but no roller coaster and I refuse to take estrogen.So I really do think It is the weight lost to fast and laking in some vitamins.May be you should be taking vitamins supplements.Hope this help and you feel better Blessed be
You are doing well with the exercise and eating, drink lots of water. stay away from stimulants, coffee, cafeene.
get to doctor and if they recommend meds, take them !
there's an over the counter pill calls pms pills and i honestly love them. they calm you down and make you feel more even tempered.
good luck !
Are you sure this is tied to menopause? It could have other causes. Rapid weight loss can play havoc on the body systems, You mentioned that your emotional roller coaster started about the same time as the wt. loss began. This could be worth taking a look into what's "off" in your body.
At the same time, consider talking with your Dr. about the emotions. It could be of assistance to take an anti-depressant to assist you with evening out the emotions (- rather than the hormones). It's worth asking about.
Hi,
I'm 48 single mom of 3 kids and was on the emotional roller coaster you have described.
My answer first see your medical Dr.

PROMETRIUM
It's progesterone. No estrogen and a miracle. Then I would suggest therapy it's also a miracle.
Good luck to you
Bongo :)

Memory Problems?
I am 40, and I am having problems remembering things. I forget peoples names, address, what I was doing, to pack my lunch, where I put my keys, etc. I am a software developer, and it is getting harder to do my job. I might not be able to work in a technical job in 10 years. I can almost feel my faculties fading away. (Yes, this runs in my family.) What am I going to do? How will I support myself? I am way too proud to ever accept money assistance from anyone.
My long-term girlfriend tends to be verbally abusive, at times. I don鈥檛 think I can rely on someone to help me get by if she screams at me when I forget things. I am going to have to have someone there, because in the future I may not be able to live alone. What to do?
Answer:
Is it possible that stress, like from your relationship, is causing your memory problems? I know that I am more forgetful when I'm under a lot of stress. Also, depression can be a cause of memory problems, so it might be a good idea to talk to a therapist or doctor about it, and find out if it runs in your family.
You may or may not be looking at early-onset alzheimer's or another sort of dementia.
You would be VERY WISE to pursue a professional evaluation. If an early onset type of dementia/Alz. process is at work here, there is a LOT you can do to stave it off.
Do not delay. Time is of the essence here.
Best of luck to you,
~M~
I've read in readers digest that when u forget things, its because u are stressed out. U have to relax; give yourself a break. Take Vitamin b complex to boost your memory.

Memory foam is a wonderful thing..has anyone figured out how to not only sleep but even hug or whatever?
Once you get in that bed it's hard to even reach over and touch your partner...put's a damper on things any idea how to over come this without leaving the bed? It has been the most comfortable bed we have ever had...is that the trade off?
Answer:
lol. Good luck with that one. I believe that is the price we must pay. Personally, I had tried it, and as comfy as it was, I like the topper better. It allowed more movement. I think that they ability to get better sleep and wake up feeling better and more refreshed is indeed the trade off. Just make sure you "get into position" first, and be prepared for the long haul. PS The "flatter" you spread yourself out, the less deeply you sink in, and it may make it a little easier to move around.
that is what they use for hospital bed very expensive do know of to many ppl hugging in a hospital bed it is the best you can buy
i got a memory foam mattress and i can do all kinds of things on it, lol. never had a problem with it! luv it!

Melancholia or anxiety?
I have always considered myself a melancholy person. I do not know any other state. It is so familiar to me that I can not imagine being otherwise. For that reason I have never remained on anti depressive medication for more than 6 weeks so I do not know how I would feel if I gave medication a chance. Doctors have diagnosed that I am clinically depressed and have been for years.
I got divorced and that brought more pain but much of the stress was related to circumstances. Lately I worry and obsess and while I want to talk with my doctor about it and try a new attempt at medication, I am wondering if perhaps I actually am suffering from anxiety and not depression.
What is the difference? How can I tell? I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac, but I need a sense of understanding about myself. I thought I could accept this. I feel like Wednesday from the Addams family. Suggestions?
Answer:
Hi there,
Melancholia is a state of mind, emotion, motivation and behaviour. Currently it refers to a depressive state. What you are experiencing does sound like typical anxiety symptoms with melancholia/depressive illness. The good news is you can be cured of this state, no matter how long you've been this way.
I know because I too had depressive illness with anxiety as well as other symptoms and have been cured of them all over time. It has taken me 14 + plus years of drug therapy, cognitive theory to change my thinking and improve greatly my self-esteem and self-love as well as fearful thoughts, phobia and panic. Labels are not something I necessarily believe in as a psychologist. What is important is a cure, a return to normalcy or a better mood and functioning in your case. All of this is possible for you. Believe me. What you must do is to be open to advice and be willing to try with your doctor(s). If one class of medications does nothing for you, try another. If you feel you can't change because you've always been this way, it is possible you won't. Now a significant feature of melancholia is negative thinking, pessimism, and self-blame. A feature of anxiety is heightened arousal (fight vs. flight) symptoms, phobia's, panic and a general feeling (beneath the surface of the mind) of irrational, intense and possibly chronic fear.
Your doctor(s) are the best person(s) to assist you in your need to get well and improve your motivations and positve outlook. It may take some time but please invest in yourself. You will need emotional, physical and financial support to overcome your feelings and that is exactly what medication and therapy targets. There are powerful medications out there and they do work. Try to find a psychiatrist %26 psychologist who you are comfortable with and who will listen and work with you while providing direction and necessary guidance. You also gotta do the work, investigate your disorder/illness research as much as as possible, in other words become your own expert and try never to give up. Only you and supportive family and friends can do it. So best of luck. Get going and stick with it. I hope this helps; you will get better. If you feel you need to say a prayer for yourself, God hears, understands and will assist you through it all, keep believing and positive and 'take' the advice given or it will be of no use to you. You must act.
I still choose to be on medication for now it's all going perfectly for me after so long. I now do not see my psychiatrist but continue to monitor my situation from time to time and continue to get and be open to medical advice.
Good luck,
Barry H
have a look on the NIMH they will give you the symptoms of both disorders/illnesses and that way you will have a clearer picture of what you think is wrong when you do talk to your doctor.

Meds helping?
My boss will raise his voice to me. A year ago I would have walked off the job if someone would have spoken to me in this disrespectful way. But over the past year I have ben taking anti depressants which make me let go of my anger. It is there for about a minute or less and then I let go and move on. Is this good for me or am I just being a punching bag on meds?
Answer:
This is what people are supposed to do. And remember that the feeling of anger releases endorphins; therefore it can almost be addictive to want to get mad, especially when we are feeling threatened in any way. Most people are given the natural ability to maintain their emotions in relatively small scale fluctuation. Unfortunately you were not, and therefore you take meds; not to be numb to them but to not over exaggerate them. What is "normal" is to feel your feelings without your feelings overwhelming your behavior to the point where you don't act appropriately. It is ok to get upset but not to join that person in their demeaning behavior, which is childish and not productive. If you let someone else's anger effect your own emotions than you have let them 'win'. If you dismiss their anger, you 'win' because you are still calm and they are still angry, which would you rather be? Ultimately, the only person that can control you is you. Given what you said about past anger issues you just happen to need a little chemical help with this, but in the end it is your choice to either let someone else (who's obviously having a rough time of it) control your reactions/emotions, or choose to let that person go down that road alone.
It is a pr oven fact that anti-depressants work best in combination with therapy. Are you in therapy? I suggest going to talk to someone about your anger issues, and your boss. In therapy you will learn to understand what and why you're angry with your boss, and also therapy will give you tools to learn how to deal with it. Therapy is not a short term solution... it takes time AND work, but you may actually be able to reduce the amount of anti-depressant you are taking, or even go off completely, although some people do need to be on them full time.
im sure you can tell when someone is walking over all over you and you will retaliate but its sometimes benifical to take crap from some people. i think you have to find an outlet to get some stress off of you.
I have a temper too, but I would say to them that I felt they disrespected me. I wouldn't walk off the job, though. I guess it would depend on the circumstances. I hope you aren't a punching bag on meds- you can still stick up for yourself in a professional manner.
Do you work for my boss?
He yells too. But I decided I had to quit. I refuse to be treated that way.
Ask yourself if his behavior is affecting other parts of your life? Did you go on anti-depressants because of him? Are you unhappy?
Think about these issues and think about quitting.

Meditation and relaxation?
does anyone here meditate or find a way to relax to ease any worrys, depression, or stress? ive been trying ive been taking hot baths and stuff like that and lisitng 2 soothing music as i go to bed. im only 15 but sometimes i get up on dumb things and feel all edgy, other times i feel laid back and at peace with the world, its annoying 2 go back and forth on a sometimes regualr basis, i need to find one level of comfort and high confidence, does anyone got any good tips?
Answer:
Just breathe! Breathe slow and deep. Find a time when you aren't distracted too. Don't hold onto thoughts you find that cross your mind. Just let them go, don't chase them or try to "figure" them out. Listen to the sound of your breath as it goes in and out, or you can always hum a simple word or phrase. (The "om" thing is just that--it just directs your thoughts to the sound of your breathing.) You have to practice, and it does take a while to "retrain" your brain to put your worrying thoughts away. Stick to it and eventually it'll happen.
If you are looking for a smooth ride in life, you are out of luck. Life isn't meant to be a straight, narrow path. It was made to take a few dips and sharp turns and inclines. If you only felt one way all of the time, how would you know if you were alive?

Medication help..?
I took today.. 300mg wellbutrin XL and 10mg of paxil does that seem a lot? I am having really weird side effects.. please help.. fast
Answer:
Presumably those are the dosages your doctor advised you to take?
Either way, if you don't feel well, call your doctor for advice.
Sometimes when you alter the dosage of a medication it takes time for the body to adjust, then it settles down.
But to be on the safe side, query it with your prescribing doctor.
If your doctor did not tell you to take these medicines together, or those dosages, then you shouldn't be doing it!
please call your doctor. NOW.
get off the paxil now,
new studies found that paxil has some thing in it to make you have suicidal thoughts and might hurt you more then help you.
Please Call your prescribing Doctor NOW! Tell them what the side affects are. Do not go off any medication on your own. They can give you the best advise on what to do.
You do not describe your side affects so it's hard to say if these are normal things that might pass with time. If nothing else.call the pharmacy and ask them first. If it's very bad go to the ER.
Why r u taking 2 antidepressants? Sounds borderline high to me!! Be careful!!
call your dr, u should not be on both,

Medication for depression question?
My friend is on celexa, about 30mg a day. He has been on it for about a year now. But feels he is worse when on pills, and i agree. The docs would not let him get off of them, they also would not write a note for work explaning he could not work due too illness. My friend wants to be pill free, so a few weeks ago, he took himself off of them, without the docs permission, he weaned himself, and detoxed for a few days. He feels and looks so much better now..but was this safe for him too do?? He says he got really dizzy when he went off of them, but its getting better for him. He just does not trust doctors now adays. When he was diganosed with depression, the only test they did was a throyroid test, thats it! and than threw him on pills right away, which i think is bull, its too easy for docs to write a perscription, and its not good, too many pills and chemicals, they should really do more testing. I just hope he did the right thing.
Answer:
Doctors are far too eager to hand out pills! He should try and get a different doctor ASAP, or the professional advice of perhaps a pyschologist/psychiatrist?
It is not a good idea to cut cold turkey. It cam cause him to be really moody and very dizzy. But since it's been a few weeks now, just don't worry about it.
Doc's don't usually give anti depressants for no reason, he musta told the dr about him feeling down alot and tired alot, which is a abnormal thyroid symptom.
There is no real test for depression, and since the thyroid test came back good, the dr. was thinking he was depressed.
PLEASE tell your friend to be careful. There is the possibility of your friend going into a major depression relapse when taken off of meds. I would suggest your friend find another doctor and get a second opinion. There are other medications that he could take that wont have the side effects of the one he was on. It's better to be on meds (even if you dont want to be) than to have a relapse and end up committing suicide.
You don't say how old your friend is. It does make a diff. because if he is a teen, teens have adverse reactions to antidepressants. Your friend needs to see another Dr. But I know you said he doesn't trust Drs. now. They don't use blood test to determine depression. I do feel like people can always use counseling along with medication, however. Please just watch your friend.

PLEASE tell your friend to be careful. There is the possibility of your friend going into a major depression relapse when taken off of meds. I would suggest your friend find another doctor and get a second opinion. There are other medications that he could take that wont have the side effects of the one he was on. It's better to be on meds (even if you dont want to be) than to have a relapse and end up committing suicide.
You don't say how old your friend is. It does make a diff. because if he is a teen, teens have adverse reactions to antidepressants. Your friend needs to see another Dr. But I know you said he doesn't trust Drs. now. They don't use blood test to determine depression. I do feel like people can always use counseling along with medication, however. Please just watch your friend.
Medication for anxiety?
I've tried a low dose of valium which did absolutely nothing, and now my doctor wants to put me on Xanax. Does anyone have experience with this drug for relieving anxiety? Is there anything I should know beforehand? Thanks in advance
Answer:
Benzodiazepines such as valium and xanax tend to loose their benefitial effects after a few weeks or months of regular use. I strongly recommend that you read this resource http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/... so that you can learn the long term adverse effects of benzodiazepines. Also read this http://www.benzo.org.uk/ashbzoc.htm...
I have used both valium and xanax and they ruined a big part of my life. I did not abuse them, just followed doctors orders and got hooked.
Look into the cause of your anxiety. Anxiety can be caused by job stress, stressful relationship, past traumas.
Anxiety can also have physical causes, thyroid problems, day time withdrawal symptoms from night use of sleep aids, withdrawal anxiety from excessive alcohol. Adverse reactions or withdrawal reactions to or from various medications.
Work with a counsellor or try CBT. CBT by the way is ineffective whilst a person is on benzodiazepines as benzodiazepines impair the cognitive processes and people cannot learn new coping strategies.
Improve your diet, cut out fast foods, limit sugary foods, cut out completely caffeine, alcohol and aspartame containing foods and drinks.
I know this probably isn't the answer that you want to hear. We all want a quick fix solution.
All the Benzodiazapine family have problems and are linked to addictions.
Xanax is a shorter acting benzo and as such they are worse in terms of addiction.
You should ask your doctor for the evidence that benzo's work for anxiety.
Just taking anxiolytics without addressing the underlying problems with psychotherapy or counselling is like winking in the dark!
If you know anyone who can get you a copy of the big MIMS have a look at it - it lists all the side effects of any medication that you take. The same standards that are applied to 'alternative' medicines should also be applied to pharmaceuticals. Ask for the evidence before taking anything.
With medications for anxiety it's almost always trial and error. If your doctor started you out on the lowest dose of Valium, it would've probably been a better idea to try to up that dosage before switching you all around, but of course I'm no doctor. I've been a pharmacy technician for 3 years, nationally certified, and I've generally seen dosages being changed before changing to a different drug. They may also try possibly using an SSRI (zoloft, prozac, lexapro, etc) in combination with a benzodiazepine (valium, xanax ativan, klonopin, etc).
The thing to keep in mind is that different drugs come with their own laundry list of side effects that you may or may not experience, but always try to take your first few doses while you're staying home just so you know how it effects you. Good luck!
first of all consult a psyciatrist,the treatment includes 1.benzodiazepines like diazepam initially strted with smal doses 2.beta blockers like propronolol 3.psychotherapy
Let him. Xanax does wonders for my anxiety.
As far as what you should know, I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on any drug before taking it. Here's a link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/xanax...
See the intro, read page 2, and see the anxiety section of http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 6.
You had your crying and now it is stress and Valium. The next step is depression from the chemical releases. Might as well get ready to learn all about the disorders. Then look to your social expectations and get rid of the errors There is the root of the pain. The brain hates to relearn! Go ahead PM one of the survivors on here.

Medication concerns?
If someone has bi-polar and aren't taking their medication, is the anti-depression medicine Paxil ok to take? Will that have any bad side effects for them if they take it or could it help?
Answer:
Only your Doctor should advise you about what medications to take. He/She is the one who fully can access your situation and diagnose you.
i think Paxil could help with some of the symptoms of bipolar. it won't be as effective as your normal medication obviously. but you should really talk to your doctor to make sure you wont have any bad side effects, or maybe to get more bipolar medication.
NEVER... EVER... EVER... Self Medicate!
Go see your doctor!
Paxil is a very nasty drug.
I had a friend on Paxil, and he had these horrible outbursts of anger against himself and others. And he didnt suffer from that before.
It is also known to cause suicidal thoughts in people under 25.
Anti-depressants DO NOT help bipolar. I just read an article on it.
Why would they not take their Lithium but would take Paxil? Lithium is prescribed precisely for Bipolar from what I hear...
Prozac is better.But the best thing is to be under a doctors care so you dont run out of meds.

Medication changed me from A worry-wort to FEARLESS. Help?
I was put on Paxil for panic attacks. I noticed now I dont have Anxiety at all, but im also NEVER SCARED. Can't that be kinda dangerous? Im acually worried about not worrying, how crazy is that? I used to worry about everything now I dont worry about anything. It kinda freaks me out because lets say I was walking on the street and someone held a gun to my head I would probally just laugh in there face and go on with my business. But besides not being scared, I can never be sad, never be REALLY happy, im just flat or something. Is this normal?
Answer:
I completely understand what you are saying. Often anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds make you feel like you feel nothing at all. You may not feel bad, but you can't really feel happy either or seem to care about anything. Unfortunately I think it's a normal reaction to the meds. I mean they are doing what they are supposed to by taking away the panic attacks, you just have to weigh the pros and cons - which is worse, the panic attacks or the not feeling anything? FYI, I am not giving drug advice, but I take Lexapro (for panic attacks) and I do not have that side effect with it and I have had it with others. You might want to consider talking to you doctor about switching from Paxil.
Likely the gun wielding crimal would figure out you were insane or more dangerous than he was for ignoring him. Fear is what drives crime.
Learn self defense and if you are not scared you will win every fight that is hurled upon you.
Go see a psychiatrist and medical provider.
They are the only ones who know how seriously you need this medicine. Then, see another person to get a second opinion.
No one on this site is a doctor.
Talk to your doctor to find out if this is normal. Maybe they can lower the dose just a bit so your feelings will be somewhere in between.
You are taking a drug that messes with your brain chemistry. Drugs don't differentiate between normal fear or irrational panic. Drugs don't differentiate between joy, sadness, fear--- drugs kill ALL emotions. Look, you're basically high right now.--just because it comes from a doctor doesn't mean it doesn't get you high.
Of course it's not normal! You're high on prescription drugs that, like street drugs, change your mood.
Will it change? No. As long as you're on Paxil, you will feel very little. (Christmas is going to be very flat. You'll have to force yourself to make "happy noises" like a normal person, but you won't feel it.)
You might also find yourself lacking impulse control-- you might be "cool" with anything and everything, and lose any sense of "smarts" you had about situations and people. You might find you lack good judgment because you're so high, nothing bothers you.
Watch how your attitude changes about food-- see if you can stop eating. Watch your money--- you might not be able to say no to spending. If you're single, be careful who you get involved with--you might tolerate bad treatment because you don't "feel" how badly you're being treated.
As for suicide-- look, your brain has been chemically altered. Suicide "seems" like a good idea. It's not about being sad/depressed and killing yourself, it's about not having any sense of control, or normal emotions, or being able to think things through. You don't FEEL the impact of what you're doing. It has little to do with being depressed- it's about not feeling, and not having impusle control.
Please, speak to your doctor about this. It seems evident to me, that you need a smaller dosage each day. Paxil CR, Paxil, even the generic Paxil comes in many dosages, and you would certainly SEEM to benefit, greatly, by telling your doctor your fears. I DO understand, when you say you fear not fearing! Certainly, you could have great harm come to you by not having normal fears. Your panic attacks may have seemed to justify your first prescribed dosage. Now, it appears that you need less, and that is a GOOD thing. So, let your doctor be aware of how you feel. You can keep the anxiety attacks away with less paxil, now. Just let the Dr.. understand this, and I am sure the Dr. will be delighted to put you on a prescription for a lighter amount.
This sounds crazy - but sometimes medications - even anti-depressants - can give depression symptoms. Not feeling fear is almost a form of depression or "flat affect" - where you don't feel as you should, even "negatively".
You may also be on too much of a dosage. Every person's biochemistry is different and people can react differently to medication. Maybe you're especially sensitive to Paxil and you need to be on a lower dosage or a different anti-anxiety medication.
Fear is a cautionary reflex and it's a survival mechanism - it's different when it becomes dread and it becomes paralyzing, like in a panic attack. But fear is a natural reaction and to have it taken from you is possibly as bad as having fear all the time. I hope this helps!

Medical? am i depressed, maybe bipolor or even PMDD?
cant sleep, my moods are up and down, and i cant think straight, and i have anxiety over the smallest things.
Answer:
You need to go see a doctor or counselor. No one on here can correctly diagnose you . Take that quiz it helps you find out if you have signs of bipolar disorder. It gives you an idea of what you have so you can talk to your doctor or counselor about it. Also check out web md's depression information. It really does help to understand what you have. I originally thought I was just depressed but turned out that I'm bipolar.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
You could just be stresses. It is hard to make an assumption based on just the info listed above. A pattern would possible indicate Bipolar or PMDD. You really need to see your doctor and tell them your concerns. They will ask the appropriate questions and give you a series of test.
It is your mind and body and if you feel something is not right and you cannot put a specific event(s) in place to cause the symptoms, seek medical intervention.
I don't think anyone can answer that but a doctor. It could be either. Call an make an appointment soon. There is alot of great meds. out there no matter what it is. My friend is bipolor and takes meds. He also had trouble sleep for weeks and then for weeks he could not get enough sleep. Now he is doing great. Hope you find the answer. GOOD LUCK
Wow you just described me...my moods are so off the level it's sad really. Not only do I suffer from anxiety, but also have panic disorder, OCD, and have social anxiety, plus I suffer from bouts of depression. What I have is bipolar disorder%26gt; (%26lt;manic depression)among my OCd, and anxiety/panic, but that doesn't mean that's what you have. You probably should have a visit with your doctor or therapist so they can get to the bottom of things and from there get the help/meds you might need. It could just be from stress or just might be PMDD. Either way check with a professional for the right answer hun. Good luck and if you do breathing patterns for the anxiety it will help. Just find breathing steps that feel right for you.

Medical reasons for my 12-year-old brother daydreaming all the time?
My brother is in year 7 %26 my mother went to a parent/teacher interview the other night. Each teacher said that his mind seems to wonder off during the whole class %26 his concentration is very low (even in the classes that he likes). Could there be any medical reason for this?
Answer:
WOW you seem like the best big sister in the world, both your mother and brother are so lucky to have you in their lives.
Just labels.
He could have petit mal epilepsy.
ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
or he just gets really bored.
theres probly no medical reason he probly cant consontrate on the class.
He could be bored with school. He could also have ADHD. Your mom should talk to the pediatrician and see what need to be done. good luck!
Could be too much sugar..that will drop a kid real low after about twenty minutes. Could be he's not getting enough sleep. A twelve year old should get about 10 hours a night. Or, and this one is what happens to a lot of kids, he could have an above average I.Q. and just be bored out of his skull.
He might have ADD. But it might not be a medical problem at all. Maybe he is stressed out about something. Also, the material might not be enough of a challenge for him, which would mean he is bored. Another possibility is that the material is too much of a challenge for him, and he has given up.
kids daydream in school, I did it all the time, every child does it, dont let them just throw your kid brother on meds and call it solved maybe the teachers could start by getting him and every other child in class more involved, maybe even try to throw some fun and exciting lessons into class, maybe the classes dont challenge him enough.
I have had attention defecate disorder all my life if i was your mother i would get him diagnosed asap because it will ruin his life and ability to learn. having this problem can be very damaging to his self esteem and motivation .he will either give up on himself or possibly get involved with drugs and Alcohol because he will start to feel like he is stupid and cannot do anything get him help there is meds that can Change your brothers life for the better.
It sounds like he could have ADD. I am not a professional though and he will need to be evaluated by the school district. Especially if it is affecting him education.
