9 Mental Disorders That Can Be Mistaken for Personality Traits

Despite the growing number of online resources on mental disorders, there are still a lot of misinformation and stigma surrounding them. Mental disorders are sometimes misrepresented and even glamorized on social media, and personality traits can be mistaken for mental disorders or vice versa. As such, this video aims to raise awareness about different mental disorders. However, it should not be used to self-diagnose. If you relate to any of the signs in this video, please seek help from a licensed mental health professional to avoid improper diagnosis.

I hate it when people self diagnose OCD and ADHD to appear quirky or cool. It just shows that these people are so insensitive towards people who are actually suffering from these disorders.

[@railylogan7646]

I agree. I visited a phycologist cause my mom believed I had ADHD cause I was having trouble in school and was inattentive and daydreamed a lot. I was never diagnosed but now I'm older I still remember when she told me not to long ago I'm weird for someone who has OCD cause I didn't clean a dusty corner. After I looked into it man, it seemed like someone wrote my secret habits down I keeped to myself and talked about in my daydreams

[@Evidael]

people who pretend to have adhd to be quirky piss me off so much. thinking its trendy to have a disorder like that. i literally cannot function with my adhd. it is disabling in many cases. theyll be like. oh having adhd is so cool. then you tell them the reality of thing like saying, executive dysfunction has stopped me from brushing my teeth for over a month, and theyll put you down for being gross over something you have no control over. theyll be like oh yeah im so adhd. then get confused when some of us are crying over an essay because we in a room with someone else whos simply breathing.

[@deargodwhatamidoing1122]

Okay so it isn’t about ADHD or ocd, but i still feel like i wanna add something. (But first. Let me say i totally understand that people who do just want to be quirky exist, and that self diagnose Can still be offensive. I just wanna say it ain’t Black and White) Because people who self diagnose doesnt always do it to be quirky. When i was a kid, i hat Big problems with sleeping. I was always scared before bed, couldn’t lay down for more then around 20 minuttes i Think, before haveing to look through my room to check everything was okay, and it was verry common for me to go crying up to my parents, because i thought i and/or everyone i loved was going to die. At the time my parents Said that i had anxiety, but looking back, i dont know if that was the case. I dont deal with it anymore bow that i am older, i havn’t heard anything about someone who have something simular, and since i have met people with stuff like social anxiety, i dont know if i was at that level. However, what i also know is that even if i didn’t have it, i dont regeret calling it anxiety. When i was Young i HATED the idea of being weak. I didn’t wanna depend on other people, and feeling like i needed protektion was something i was too pridefull to let myself feel. So when it all started, i was really harsh on myself. I saw myself as weak and pathetic, just because i couldn’t sleep in a room alone. However, that changed when my parent started to Call it anxiety. It felt like an excuse, a reason to accept these feelings and giveing myself a break. Of course i wasnt as brave as other kids, They didn’t have what i have. It helped me accept ny feelings, and that is verry importent if you wanna deal with Them. So yeah, that was my novel. I just wanted to say that people who self diagnose, dont always do it to Seem quirky. Instead it is a Way to deal with feelings that They have trouble with, and so They dont run around thinking They are weak or broken. Instead They might just want something to lach on to, to help Them accept themself.

I think many people with depression or anxiety think that it's just their character traits either because they've been suffering from these disorders since early childhood or because they've lost definition between the times they were "fine" and at what "moment" exactly they were not anymore, either from being in pain for too long or from the fact that you don't crash into severe depression in one second. it usually breaks you slowly.

[@k_kaya_art]

( Hi I’m Kaya, I’m 16 :,) ) I feel like I might have depression or anxiety, but I don’t know if me having the “depressive episodes” is me really having them or just being lazy and sad or upset about something. 2 years ago I felt so empty and depressed I wanted to tell my mom that I just don’t have the energy to live and saw no point in existing (that was around march) and then I also remember feeling really empty and depressed for a whole month in march last year and having my first panic attack. I had another one 10 months later- also in March. It’s like I’m almost perfectly fine all year and then when feb-march hits I get at least one panic attack out of nowhere when when I’m happy or “chill” and have depressive episodes, but I don’t want to talk about it with anyone because I feel like it’s not actual depression and that making it a thing will make me upset because I just don’t want help. A few months I feel great and live life so much and then a few days of me being depressed and wanting to be alone, hits. But I feel like what im experiencing is .. normal?? (btw. In march last year it got so bad, that I was crying in the bus with my, at the time boyfriend almost every day crying into his shoulder. I felt so useless and hopeless and the relationship was to stressful because I didn’t want him to know what I was going through.. so I broke up with him at the end of march and didn’t exactly tell him why because I was embarassed.) but now it’s not like it affects me daily and when I have an “episode” that I can’t function normally. Yes it is hard to do school or even just eat or wash, but if it does get worse over time.. we’ll see.

I was diagnosed with severe depression and my mom still insist I'm lazy. I haven't been able to leave my room in months unless someone actively makes me and I'm miserable when I'm away from my bed. I've been emotionally neglected my entire life and that still hasn't changed even with my diagnosis. It really sucks.

[@yahyawasim1994]

Hey Ann, I hope this isn't intrusive and I don't know if you will see this because your replies are disabled; I hope you do regardless. By the sounds of it, it seems like your mother/parents have been emotionally neglectful, even abusive, your entire life. In recent times, there has been recognition of an up-and-coming disorder named 'CPTSD', which is essentially PTSD but repetitive trauma that comes from years of persistent abuse and/or neglect. C-PTSD can lead to executive dysfunction (which causes procrastination), loss of identity, loss of social and physical appetite, attachment issues (i.e. you feel threatened in your real-life environment and cannot connect with people), etc. The thing is, it CAN and WILL mimic mild-moderate-severe depression and/or anxiety, so I really hope you look into it as you have stated that even with your diagnosis, nothing has changed. I would recommend you look into the book 'Complex Ptsd: From Surviving to Thriving ' by Pete Walker to better understand if this may fit your case; you can download it from PDFDrive online. I will attach a link to it as a separate comment to avoid spam (or whatever). The longer you persist with the pain, the deeper you dive into 1 or 2 of the following responses: a) a freeze response, where you can dissociate and get numb, become a couch potato and want to stay home all day, find solace in the internet/online friends b) a flight response where you get away from the environment that causes you trauma and suppress thoughts, develop anxiety, etc. c) a fight response, where you become more aggressive and act out on others around you to deal with your trauma d) fawn response, where you people-please to fit in with those around you and to compensate for emotional validation people like us never got in our childhood I'm sorry for what you've gone through. I know what it's like. Finding a good therapist is incredibly essential to treat whatever underlying issues you have; I'm still struggling to find a good one without blowing my entire wallet. If you, or anyone reading this, feel you can relate to this, please don't feel afraid to reply to my comment asking what steps you should take for currently feeling stuck. Sending you much love and I really hope you look into this.

You do NOT have to be shy to have Social Anxiety Disorder. You CAN be a social person and still get Social Anxiety Disorder due to for example constant bullying over nine years. It might then make you seem shy but there’s such a huge difference between “I can’t leave the house because I have panic attacks when I try or start throwing up from the anxiety if I do” and “oh holding a presentation in front of class makes my stomach feel funny because people are looking at me”

[@-Solidwater]

You're kinda underestimating shyness. I get paralyzed and I started crying in front of the whole classroom once, just because of shyness.

[@AriettaTheWild17]

@@-Solidwater Have you talked to a professional about it? Because it’s not like you can’t be shy and have social anxiety to a lesser extent than complete isolation from people, having anxiety attacks from holding presentations sounds like more than just shyness. Nervousness can develop into neuroticism that leads to anxiety even “without a reason for it” (there usually is one but you might never know why, a lot of the time it’s hormones and why being a teenager or pregnant makes people “act weird”) Panic attacks also don’t necessarily look like what people think they do, they depend heavily on your fear response and if that’s freeze, then becoming paralysed is pretty common but usually not very noticeable. I mean just because I can be completely frozen and “gone” during one, before getting out of that state in one way or another, doesn’t make them have less of a debilitating effect on my life. Sometimes people do actually fight during one, that’s why trying to touch someone having a panic attack can make them attack you and talking to them calmly about whatever harmless thing you can think about is the recommended option for dealing with someone having a panic attack

All my life I've been called "oversensitive" and had a rough time finishing projects. Several months ago, I delved into the MBTI tests, researched cognitive functions and learned that I am an INFJ. Things made so much more sense after reading about that personality type! Then a couple months later, life got excessively crappy and stressful. Sensitivity, anxiety, insomnia and forgetfulness became debilitating. I just got diagnosed with ADHD and apparently need meds now. I forgot where I was going with this. Anyways, don't be afraid to seek help when you feel overwhelmed and always remember that no matter what your personality type, mental or physical state is, you are an amazing person!

So glad these videos encourage seeking professional help with mental illness. Mental illness needs to be treated just as importantly as physical illness. Those of us who grew up in a household where we were told to just "suck it up", "you have nothing to be depressed about" "you're just being selfish and lazy" " you're just doing that stuff to get attention" "you better act right and not be a bother to people" etc.... found ourselves on the hamster wheel of damn if you do and damn if you don't among family and friends. In my case my survival and healing happened because of my faith, and it led me to take the steps of growth and action of understanding and what I need to do to feel better. I'm not where I need to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be! Every one of us have very special gifts and talents put in our soul to be significant in the world, a purpose of helping others and ourselves. Having a mental illness is journey to navigate, not be condemned for or shunned for.

Thank you so much for making this video, you guys! As someone with clinically diagnosed social anxiety and dependent personality disorder, I can personally say that many people- without intending to- misunderstand and downplay what mental disorders really do to a person. If I'm overly anxious at a party, I'm told to "lighten up" or "chill out"... and if I physically can't make a decision alone- such as choosing what to eat for dinner- many people react with straight annoyance. The thing is, I can't help it- and they don't understand that I have no control over things like that. I think most people who suffer from mental disorders fight similar battles, in this regard- and unless somebody experiences them for themselves, they will never understand what it's truly like to have those demons on their back. This video does a perfect job of explaining what to look for in a disordered person, and how to accept and understand how those disorders affect said person in their day-to-day life.

Plan a day to sit with them together and talk about things, usual things and deep conversation, hangout more and know each other better. Really enjoy being around them. It would result in u not caring about those memories as u would distinguish them with these real ones.. That's what worked for me . Really hope it works for u. Let me know how it goes ok, Take care..

i already knew that i was much more than just a shy person, but the point abort procrastination and depressive disorder really was eye-opening. i am normally a person who plans literally everything and does everything early and is very meticulous and critical about my work, but these two years i've been declining and i can't make myself do anything because i'm just too drained and overwhelmed and scared of failure. and i feel so, so incredibly guilty about it. i never thought it might be related to depression, but it makes sense. thank you so much 😊🥰

I'm searching what to analyse with these videos because my therapists don't know what to do with me and it takes so much time to understand what is happening.

So, my best encouragements to everyone who is struggling with their doctor to find what is happening : we'll get through it. It takes a shit ton of time but it will come. You are brave.

As someone who has been diagnosed at 24 with ADHD and Depression, the procrastination and ADHD parts really hit home. As soon as I did get the diagnosis I could finally put into action effective treatment. And while I am now 4 years onwards I still struggle with Procrastination more than I should but never the less I do have the help that I need to get on with it.

[@nova4476]

it hurts having to wait to get diagnosed. i’ve only been diagnosed with General Anxiety & then got switched to a Panic Disorder. i almost got diagnosis with Depression but i had to lie my way out of it because i know i would get yelled at and mocked. even if i was able to get diagnosed, i wouldn’t be able to heal from it. i can’t heal when im still getting treated the same way i’ve always been. cheers to anyone going through something similar.

[@SlaySoulSister45]

*Disclaimer* I'm not trying to self diagnose here!! So I've been worried for a couple years now, that I may have adhd. And at first when I would think this I'd just tell myself "no, you just get distracted easily, you're fine." But then at the beginning of 2020 I downloaded tik tok, and somehow my fyp became full of ADHD tik toks (which I know isn't always accurate information), but after watching several videos of people with ADHD talking about their symptoms and struggles, I started to notice that I heavily related to a lot of them. So that's when I started watching videos on youtube about ADHD, and doing a little more research. And every single time I watch another video where they discuss "are you just distracted or do you have adhd?" I always relate to the adhd side significantly more than the other. But then I started talking to this guy who had adhd, and I asked him what it was like, and told him that I suspected that I may struggle with it. I just wanted to hear his point of view, so I could understand it better that way I'm not still thinking I have it, if I don't. But he told me that I don't have ADHD because I do well in school, so it's not possible, and he said that I'm not spontaneous enough to be dealing with it. The thing is, I have to work 10 times harder than all of my friends, just to get the same grades as them because I cannot focus on the teacher's lessons while she's teaching it. I will literally sit there and try to repeat every single word in my head and still my brain won't comprehend it. I have to review and learn everything by myself and on my own time. And a lot of the time it feels impossible to get myself to learn it because I know how hard it will be, so I just push everything off until the last minute because its exhausting trying to get my brain to work correctly sometimes. Anyways, I don't really know what to think. Sometimes I wonder if my dissociation and trouble concentrating isn't a symptom of ADHD, but rather ptsd from my childhood. And maybe I relate to so many of the ADHD symptoms because of other mental illnesses that have the same struggles. I guess I just don't want to go to a professional about it because I've had multiple people struggling with ADHD tell me that I don't understand them, and that there's no way I have it.

I’m looking at this for my friend to help her and encourage her to ask her mom to get some help, since her mental health is decreasing, a lot. Let’s just say, this helped a LOT. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’ll try and convince her to tell her mom about this! Also, if you’re wondering why I thought her mental health has decreased, it’s because she told me she wasn’t planning to live to age 30, she procrastinates on so many things, isn’t the same as I remember her from before quarantine, and, well, she grabbed a pair of child-proof scissors, in the middle of class, and scratched her arm with it. There are many other things that make me worried for her mental health, as well. Now, if you ever feel unloved, alone, or any of that, please know that there will always be someone out there for you!

This actually helped me understand way better . I came here because I figured maybe I had something cause everyday people keep asking me “What’s wrong with you” “why are you always in a bad mood” why are you always mean?” And it makes me more upset which causes me to lash out at them and then they just think im a bad person/Friend. This happens especially with one of my friends whom always ask me to get them something. Whether it’s a highlighter, a pencil, the paper we were supposed to grab- I tell her “Get it yourself!” And then in a bad mood for the rest of the day . I automatically get in a bad mood all the time just randomly- on day I’ll be happy the whole day and then it just goes down hill for the rest of Week. I thought it was just my personality changing and me just getting older. But the more I think about it the more I worry about it . I’ve also noticed patterns in how I think. Some days i tell myself , Should I eat breakfast today? Should I eat lunch today? And other days i tell myself, I wish I could get both!! Because I’ve been struggling with my weight and I’m super insecure about it but no matter how much I tell myself I shouldn’t stop eating I also tell myself “no, you need to eat!” My parents try to make me feel better by telling me “Your not fat at all honey, did you know muscle weighs more than fat?” My dad says it a lot. ❤ it makes me feel somewhat better but the only times I fell good at school is when lest say, the own time in ELA when I was the only one in my class to get masters (and only missed one question +The best score) out of my entire class. I was super proud of myself that day. But I switched ELA classes because my teacher wants to become a principal so now she’s just a super visor and studies and stuff. It’s not that my new teacher is mean , not at all she’s super sweet . It’s just the kids in the class… they get me a bad mood and then I’m in a bad mood just like that. As soon as I walk in , automatic frown. Dunno why though. And when I speak do some odd reason I speak when everyone else is also speaking and then everyone silents and looks at me . Idk why.. it’s super strange and just makes me mad. I’m gonna stop typing now cause no one is probably gonna read this.

Sometimes Personality traits to the extreme can become personality disorders. E.G=(clingy, needy, people pleaser= Dependent Personality Disorder; Shy, Insecure, Neurotic, Overly Sensitive=Avoidant Personality Disorder; Untrustful, paranoid, Suspicious=Paranoid Personality Disorder) So it might just as well be a Personality Trait rather than a whole Disorder

This video, like all the other videoes on this channel are great, but I just keep laughing at hoplessness ( 2:30 ) I know it's silly but it made me smile :) Edit: When I was little, before I was diagnosed with autism, a lot of the kids at my school were diagnosed with adhd. If you did badly in a class? ADHD. You didn't pay full attention to the teacher? ADHD. You seemed to have a lot of energy? ADHD The only reason I never got diagnosed with ADHD (Which I don't have) if because I did well in my classes and the teachers liked me. Looking back it is horrible that my school and county went by saying that if you have ADHD you cannot do well in class or in life as a child. I am not in the buisness of self-diagnosis but often I find myself relating to symptoms that link to major depression or depression unspecified disorders, but I dont know how to begin talking about it with my family. I am 19 years old and there is depression in the family, but I still dont know how to begin the conversation. If anyone has some advice for me, I'd appresiate it a lot.
