Over- and mis- diagnosis of mental disorders (Was: Bipolar Disorder)

[Violet]

Everyone's full of shit, and everyone's psychologically clinical. Some people just hide it better than others.

Until they poop... then they're distinctly NOT full of shit. And really, a lot of people have shit in them, but it takes an awful lot to hit 'full'. A medical emergency sort of 'awful lot'.

What the heck does 'psychologically clinical' mean if it applies to everyone? I can't imagine that it is very serious.

I do sometimes wonder about the purveyance of people on these forums who have or claim to have mental disorders. I think maybe people with social/anxiety/depression disorders tend to be attracted to internet forums, rather than just said people just being full of shit or necessarily misdiagnosed.

Pretty much: any disorder that causes in one urges to seek others out, for whatever reason... with an amending: that they are not finding in satisfaction in the fleshsphere.

That's who all of yall are

That said... plenty of these people probably over-diagnose (at the least), and plenty more mistake some of their symptoms for certain things that are other things. Still, I'd rather they surmise that they might have <whatever> and test this... than they ignore it completely. Good way to turn a little thing into a big thing? Give it time.
