A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioural pattern that occurs in an individual and is thought to cause distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development or culture. The recognition and understanding of mental health conditions has changed over time and across cultures, and there are still variations in the definition, assessment, and classification of mental disorders, although standard guideline criteria are widely accepted. Over a third of people in most countries report meeting criteria for the major categories at some point in their life. The causes are often explained in terms of a diathesis-stress model and biopsychosocial model. Services are based in psychiatric hospitals or in the community, and mental health professionals diagnose individuals by various methods, often relying on observation and questioning in interview. Psychotherapy and psychiatric medication are two major treatment options as are social interventions, peer support and self-help. In some cases there may be involuntary detention and involuntary treatment where legislation allows. Stigma and discrimination add to the suffering associated with the disorders, and various social movements campaign for change. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by heddle kate - Sun Oct 4 23:09:13 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. that sounds kinda like obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD. OCD usually refers to being obsessively tidy, obsessed about a person (commonly a celebrity, aka stalkers) or an object (ex. foot fetish) but i dont belive that we divert out obsession to another thing unless it really suits our fancy =) Answered by Sam - Sun Oct 4 23:23:02 2009 Do you have a mental disorder or handicap that you love having?
Q. This may be a strange question: Do you have a mental disorder or handicap that you love having?-and would never want to lose? Tell me about it. Asked by unknown - Wed Feb 21 18:18:46 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is actually not a dumb question if people are honest. I'm bi-polar and have ADD, and I prefer to be the way I am to what is considered "normal". I am more passionate about things than other people, things are never just ok, things are either fantastic or terrible, and I prefer it that way. I either love something or hate it, nothing in the middle, and I like that. I'm fun, and spontaneous and outgoing, and I wouldn't change that for the world. I see "normal people who are mellow and I think their boring, so I guess that means I like my handicap. Answered by BJ - Wed Feb 21 19:30:58 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Mental disorder" |
