Having been diagnosed with MPD, borderline personality AND paranoid schizophrenia at one time or the other in my life I feel the need to *defend* our people. :) And to say that, yes, it is all sorta tied in together in the brain somehow like Byte pointed out.

Those of us who lean towards the good side of the force really do have lots of work to do to make sure our perceptions are correct and to operate from our core (if we can find it). It's seems like a very self-centered life at first, but we can get into lots of trouble if we don't do the continual self examination of perceptions and so forth. And it helps to have a few good people around to point things out to us from time to time. :)

I just wanted to add that yes, it's hard work to be around people with these illnesses and sometimes the person can be perceived as evil or bad, but that's usually not the case. Just lost souls.

But, like Niki said, sometimes they can do harm to you if you are not careful. I've done harm and it's been done to me so I see both sides of it. Just sayin' try not to judge to harshly.

Ok, end of *defensive rant*. :))))

Gonna go outside and appreciate this glorious sunny day and do some gardening. Yay for gardens! Highly recommended to help one regain their sanity. Get kids back out into nature and community gardens!!!

Bah, any pysch diagnoses MUST be individual to the patient, and individualized or you're just wasting your time.

All too often modern medicine tries to pigeonhole classify stuff and then throw a pill at it and that works about as well as treating tuberculosis with cough syrup, ok ?

And you can ONLY do a proper diagnosis by expending the time and effort observing your potentive patient over a substantial period of time in a controlled environment - that's not just talk, that's the bare minimum facts, hell, even diagnosing a behavioral disorder takes a minimum of 90 minutes of observation within a controlled environment...

So yeah, when I see a 10minute question-checklist "diagnosis" steam starts rollin out my ears - I don't CARE how much paper they have from some so-called educational institution, I will bet my empiric diagnosis (which takes all day) versus their quickie checklist any day of the week, and I would lay good money on it to boot!

Ironically, one of the best folk we ever had, and still do, to help make those kinds of diagnosis, or at least assist with em, is a dude who used to be a professional gambler specialising in poker - his ability to spot behaviorial traits and quirks that would often pass the notice of a less observant individual has been an invaluable resource, especially in combination with someone who has the skill and experience to add up those things and speculate as to the root causes behind them.

But what it comes down to, with this, all of this, is that people are PEOPLE, human beings, each and every one as individual and unique as a snowflake, and every diagnosis and treatment MUST reflect that, or you're just wasting your time, potentially harming your patient and indulging in what I feel to be gross criminal negligence in your responsibility to them.

Ergo, I take a very, VERY dim view of most conventional psych people, despite having no formal education at all - which matters a hell of a lot less to the poor folks asking you for help than whether or not you know what the hell you're doing - all they really have is a buncha theories, some of em from KNOWN liars and nutters, educated guesses, and the ability to prescribe drugs that can temporarily abate the symptoms, but for them trying to even find the root of the problem is like probing a minefield blindfolded cause they don't really *know* a damned thing for sure - nobody does, and trying to do it without a proper diagnosis in the first place is like stickin your arm into a running garbage disposal.

Sorry, hot button topic for me, that one.

And yes, there's some elements of this discussion where imma dodge questions and elements thereof, that isn't accidental and I got my reasons for it, which don't matter cause those things are only incidental to the topic at hand anyhow.
