A. Mood disorder when you swing like a pendulum from one extreme to the next..one minute up and the next down in the dumps...To be truly stable you need to be equal as possible a all times and at all cricumstances if possible. Anxiety disorder is when you can suffer friom panic attacks and feel threatened when there is something to feel threatened about. Schizophrenic disorders is when you sometimes hear voices or see thigs that are not there, this may be manifest with paranoid delusions (thinking that people are aginst you for nmo real reason at all ect).

Question about Ecstasy?
Q. Ok, a little background...I'm in college, and my major is Psychology. We're learning about substance-related disorders, and I have a couple questions about Ecstasy.
