How many Getbiggers suffer from mental illness?

[The Showstoppa]

Yea.........Ive been on Meds for 8 years though. They help very much.

I thought you irish just drink until you forget your life problems.

Substance abuse

Borderline schizophrenia when I used to binge abuse methamphetamine several years ago. (So really I guess that boils right back to substance abuse.)

Ha ! Alcohol makes Mental illness'/disorders far worse. Thats how it was back in the day in my opinion. Our parents' parents and so on and so forth, DRANK away thier mental health issues.......only making them worse over time. Like when my father was growing up back in the 40s and 50s, Alcohol and Catholicism were used as thier Medicene.

[IrishMuscle84]

What a crock of bullshit. I can't imagine the excuses you've made for the failures in your life because of these alleged "illnesses."

"Mild hypochondria." LOL.

Bullshit eh ? I guess ive been on Psychiatric Medications for 8 years for NO REASON then...........I guess i take Anti-depressant, mood stabilizer and Antipsychotic medications for no reason then.

and did the medication help? i think you only got worse on the meds and you were diagnosed with this bullshit names while on meds, or mixing meds , coming off meds and so on. try getting off of them now, you can add 20 bullshit diseases to your list. Ive been on ad's and ap's myself so i know what im talking about. you re so naive man, you need some richard bandler asap.

They most certainly do help..........And how long were you on Ads and Aps ?

[EL Mariachi]

7 years ad, 2 years ap.  

[IrishMuscle84]

And what did you take the Anti-depressant for ? Just for DEPRESSION alone ?

[IrishMuscle84]

Take Prozac for example. Pretty much every study not funded by a pharmaceutical company has shown it to be no more effective than a sugar pill.

Pharmaceutical companies exist to make money, not make u better.

Been on PROZAC which is an SSRI for 4 years. For me, It VERY MUCH kills " two birds with one stone ".......In other words it treats both Depression and Anxiety disorders. My PD/AGORAPHOBIA was VERY MUCH acting up for a month straight, got back on 60 mg of PROZAC and after a couple weeks, its has very much controlled the PD/AGORAPHOBIA which are both Anxiety disorders.

i wasnt depressed, i got actually depressed on ad''s. lets just say i used to be a angry young individual.
angry=half of your bullshit list

[IrishMuscle84]

One thing I'm sure of after reading your posts - you're fucking nuts.

Yes......i also have Schizo affective disorder/Psychosis......but 3 mg of INVEGA very much helps with that, it also helps with decreasing MANIC EPISODES from also having bipolar disorder

I mostly agree with this... Pharma companies don't make money by inventing cures, they make money by inventing long term "treatments".... which, many times causes side effects that these same companies have developed another pill to deal with... so as soon as you're on one of the pills, they try and get you on the gamut.

That being said - I am currently on an SSRI as part of a way to help me as my body tries to repair the damage done from my drug abuse, and it definitely does help, although it's effect is subtle. Basically I just notice that im much more irritable and on edge when I don't take it... I personally didn't notice, but everyone around me did.

I think Pharms companies are the biggest crooks around, but certain people that REALLY need these treatments are greatly helped. The problem that I see, is that docs are pushed to prescribe these treatments to EVERYONE, for practically any reason. The list of symptoms that a normal SSRI can be prescribed for is fucking retarded, and it's no wonder why they're getting a bad name.

[bebop396]

General Practioners prescribe SSRI's like candy...

Yes......i also have Schizo affective disorder with Psychosis......but 3 mg of INVEGA very much helps with that, it also helps with decreasing MANIC EPISODES from also having bipolar.

cut the crap ok

so ur sayin you have schizofrenia, schizoaffective d and bipolar?

you cant be diagnosed with all these 3. bipolar is part of schizoaffective, either you have one or the other, and then either you have schizofrenia or schizoaffective d, whats so hard to understand man.

[IrishMuscle84]

Are u on public assistance? Who pays for all of this shit? I can't see u holding down a job.

I was paying for my meds for pretty much the 8 years ive been on them,  but now i get them for free with my insurance.

Yes. SCHIZOAFFECTIVE is a mild form of SCHIZOPHRENIA. Mood disturbance/component occurs with Schizoaffective disorder.

[EL Mariachi]

Yes. SCHIZOAFFECTIVE is a mild form of SCHIZOPHRENIA. Bipolar disorder is COMORBID/occurs with Schizoaffective disorder.

so which one do you have of the 3?

[EL Mariachi]

SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER AND BIPOLAR DISORDER. Like i said, Bipolar disorder occurs with Schizoaffective disorder.

manic/depressive state bipolar is part of schizoaffective d, you cant be diagnosed with 2 of these, either its schizoaffective or bipolar, do you understand this?

[EL Mariachi]

Listen man im just trying to help, i almost used to think im bipolar myself, because i had all the symptoms for a while, but all those symptoms started as soon as i took lexapro (ad) so i did the math, now im off for a while and i dont have any bipolar symptom. Thats why im saying when were you diagnosed with what?  and what med were you taking at the time? 

How did it all began for you before taking any med? What were the symptoms? my wild guess its probably social anxiety and some mild paranoia. All the other stuff you mentioned were drug induced, its impossible for the psychiatrist to diagnose you man,they dont even look at the med-side effects, i think ur highly depressed on your meds right now, u feel like a zombie, but atleast ur not scared right  . like i said do some richard bandler stuff, stick with it, dont be lazy, ull be surprised how well you ll get, get off from all the meds for atleast a year, work on your selfesteem, you ll never get well on these drugs, its helping you 30% but its making 60% new problems, not to mention you need to take viagra to have sex with your lady, are you aware serotonin has 1000 different functions in the whole body, so when you artificially raise that ur in for a lot of trouble.

I as most I think know got aspergers(hfa). I also obviously  got depression, ADD, and OCD, however these traits I believe just describe my autism more than anything.

Anyhow its kinda bullshit to say someone has a disorder. It makes it sound like its something youve caught. The reality is its about your brain lacking something something. 

In more logical terms it would make more sense to say you lack an ability to regulate your attention(adhd), your mood(bipolar), your perception(schiepohrenic.)

A person can be diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder...i meet them all the time...I have not heard of someone diagnosed with Schizoaffective and also Bipolar disorder, but just because I have not heard of it, means nothing...Psychiatry seems to be a very complicated field...
