What mental issue do you think you have?

Bad doctors are bad.
If a proper diagnosis is given, with proper treatment options, people will be more able to work through those problems (instead of just dealing with it)

 

Charismatic...

 

I have Paranoid personality disorder. Its not diagnosed. But I really do get paranoid easily.

 

I think alot of people associate their quirks with 'mental issues'
I say I have slight OCD when it comes to grammar and punctuation being missaplied, when really, i just hate stupid people.

I have some things that I havent dealt with, but rather pushed them aside and tried to forget them with pot, and its a method that works for me until I am ready to deal with it.
No 'issue' just will probably have to talk through it.
To this day, i cannot do pda, not even hand holding and i have a severe aversion to commitment and being dependant on a man because of my sexual abuse as a kid.

 

i have no mental issues

:cheers2:

 

I have a few minor problems i would say.
I have depression which i have learned to manage it.
I always have to move.
I bite the inside of my mouth and i do it and don't notice it until its done..

 

Anxiety, triggered by social situations in which I feel trapped
Depression, although I'm sure I fluctuate between depression and mania. I'm extremely manic right now actually. It just seems that I spend a lot more time in the depression spectrum.
I have an inability to show any sort of affection to my mother or my sisters, probably because of the behavior of my father.
I think multi-tasking on the internet has given me some sort of mild ADHD. It's much harder for me to remain dedicated to a singular focus for any meaningful amount of time these days as opposed to my youth.
And although I wouldn't classify it as any specific mental issue, I'm sure my death fetish can't be healthy.

 

Yeah, same here.
I had HORRIBLE ocd when I was a kid (I'd say between ages 6-12), but for some reason it just gradually went away. I used to feel very uncomfortable physically unless I performed certain actions repetitively, like blinking really hard, or bending my arms against my chest over and over again until it felt "right". I'd also spend long amounts of time arranging things until they seemed perfect, and I was fascinated with how things felt, and often would stop in my tracks and go back to something just to touch it again and again.
So weird how severe it all was but how it just seemed to disappear.

 

I think I have a bit of manic/bi-polar.. Anxiety for sure.. though it has gotten a hell of a lot better..

 

To many to name,:smilielol5: but seriously according to a online test from the national institute of mental health i have mild phsycosis and im sociopathic as well as a couple other things, cant remember what they were. (sorry for the spelling)

 

I have just decided to extend an invitation to pay my apartment... ahhh I mean me a visit! j/k

I prefer not to look at my little quirks as problems but the components- the sum total of which sets me apart from everyone else. I suspect a big problem these days is how some are quick to look at a notable characteristic as a condition that needs treatment. Of course big Pharma wants that.... an quite possible the powers that be would benefit if independent thinkers can be labeled early on as disruptive and drugged down to where they are unable to think independently.

Drugs should only be recreational.

I like a lot of the responses here

 

I have depression anxiety panic attacks I am prowen to nightmares

 

A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master...

 

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

 

Twitters down again,..

 

I am diagnosing you with a severe case of intelligence and am prescribing daily doses of television.... you must administer this treatment without fail. You'll be cured before you know it... in fact just about everything will happen before you know it because when properly dosed, my treatment will effectively cure anyone taking it from not only the loathsome burden of knowledge, but also dreaded compulsion to apply it. I'll calculate your bill as soon as I can locate four pairs of twenty-sided dice and batteries for my calculator.

Look both ways before crossing your eyes.

 

Thank you... I sometimes get to be a smart ass though. I think it may be the early signs of... something.

 

Jung gets into this, how people use to just examine their quirks, work with them, and move on. Now everyone who's a little bit off of this arbitrary norm we've created has to be fit into this corner, diagnosed with something, ect.

 

Western psychology does seem inherently flawed in it's approach (i.e. there is a "normal" type of person, and any deviations from this archetype need to be addressed and corrected in order to catalyze a change back towards "normalcy")
That being said, I don't think there is anything wrong with diagnosing these little "quirks". It's true, there is no such thing as a normal person, but these little quirks happen to be more than just quirks for a lot of people, and adversely affect people's lives.
To some, catagorizing mental disorders seems to be the western world's trend of having to understand everything and putting it into groups in order to have control of it and feel comfortable with how it is defined. To me it is just the psychological/mental equivalent of biological/classic medical diagnosis (if you have cancer, you have cancer. if you have depression, you have depression)
Anyone who has read the DSM-IV knows that there are very specific guidelines towards diagnosing a mental illness, and no psychologist is going to confuse a little quirk with a full-fledged mental illness, which is something that DOES exist.

Fake edit: People who say psychology is bullshit because people in the past handled their business on their own are forgetting that people in the past did not have access to psychological therapy, so it wasn't even an option. They were forced to handle their own business (usually through abuse, repression, or alcoholism) and often to their own detriment.
Going to a therapist is no different than going to a medical doctor.

 

I used to actually have diagnosed OCD or whatever. Do you know how annoying it is when you're trying to bang a chick and you keep having to touch your nose?

I'm good-ish now though. Ever since I started getting seriously high Before that I was a mess. A mess I tell you!

They tried to give me meds but I refused them and when they wanted me to get therapy told them to fuck off. Time heals all. Motherfucker.
