I'm currently thinking about majoring in Psychology, and thought it would be interesting to do an ATRL case study. The poll included is anonymous, so y'all are free to vote honestly.

Quote:

1. ANXIETY DISORDERS: examples include: panic attacks, frightening physical symptoms, flashbacks of traumatic events, nightmares, obsessive thoughts or where even someone can become housebound.
Specific anxiety disorders include: phobias, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and generalized anxiety disorder.

Quote:

2. MOOD DISORDERS: clinical or major depression, dysthymia and bipolar disorder, formerly known as “manic-depression”. Suicide is the most dreaded complication of major depressive disorders. About 10 to 15% of patients formerly hospitalized with depression commit suicide. Similar to anxiety disorders, mood disorders affect around 19-20 million American adults. Children and adolescents are also susceptible to mood disorders as well.
Specific mood disorders include: Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Dysthymic Disorder (a chronic, low grade depression that seems part of the person’s personality.)

3. SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS: Schizophrenia is a serious brain disorder and is characterized by a profound disruption in cognition and emotion, affecting the most fundamental human attributes such as: language, thought, perception, affect and sense of self. The array of symptoms include psychotic manifestations, such as hearing internal voices or experiencing other sensations not connected to an obvious source (hallucinations) and assigning unusual significance or meaning to normal events or holding fixed personal beliefs (delusions). Other symptoms include withdrawal, incoherent speech and impaired reasoning.

Quote:

4. DEMENTIAS: Dementia is characterized by a disturbance of consciousness and a change in cognition, (including memory loss and a decline of intellectual and physical functioning) which develops over a short period.
These disorders include Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, dementia due to medical conditions, (e.g., HIV, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, head trauma), substance-induced dementia (drug abuse, alcohol abuse, inhalants, toxin exposure [mercury, lead, carbon dioxide, etc.] and dementia due to a combination of multiple factors.

Quote:

5. EATING DISORDERS: Eating disorders are serious, sometimes life-threatening, conditions that tend to be chronic. Each year, more than five million Americans have an eating disorder. Onset usually occurs in adolescence and tends to predominately affect females.
Having an eating disorder is marked by extremes. It is present when a person experiences severe disturbances in eating behavior such as extreme reduction of food intake or extreme overeating or feelings of extreme distress or concern about body weight or shape.
A person with an eating disorder may have started out just eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, however, at some point in time, the urge to eat less or more spirals out of control.

The three major eating disorders:
Anorexia Nervosa (self-starvation)
Bulimia Nervosa (binge eating followed by purging, fasting or excessive exercise)
Binge Eating Disorder (involves episodic, uncontrolled consumption of food, without the compensatory activities such as vomiting or laxative abuse to avert weight gain that is associated with bulimia.)

OF NOTE: While women and girls are much more likely to develop an eating disorder, men and boys account for an estimated 5 to 15 percent of patients with anorexia or bulimia and an estimated 35 percent of those with binge-eating disorder. In addition, eating disorders are also common among: older adult women, African-Americans, victims of sexual abuse and male & female athletes who are involved in sports with weight classes.

One in four preadolescent cases of anorexia occurs in boys and binge eating disorder affects females and males equally. Like females who have eating disorders, males with the illness have a warped sense of body image and often have muscle dysmorphia – a type of disorder that is characterized by an extreme concern with becoming more muscular. Some boys with the disorder want to lose weight, while others want to gain weight or “bulk up” Boys who think they are too small are at a greater risk for using steroids or other dangerous drugs to increase muscle mass.

Boys with eating disorders exhibit the same types of emotional, physical and behavioral signs and symptoms as girls. However, boys are less likely to be diagnosed with what is often considered a stereotypically “female” disorder.

I reckon Jesus must have had some mental disorder since he could turn water into wine.

This thread is ****ing ********. You're trivializing mental illnesses and treating this like a damn Facebook quiz shared by 14-year-olds.

You're making failed attempts at shade with the .gifs, which reveals the true intention of this thread to flamebait. Mental illnesses are serious, and you're trying to make a laughingstock of them. Please educate yourself if you actually intend to major in psychology, because this thread is shameful.

It really doesn't take that long to read something...I had to post examples, because some people might not understand the terminology.

A lot of people don't like to admit they have problems though, so it is okay if you do not wish to share in the discussion...I understand.

Messy ass thread.
