[@steve10286]

Dr. Fiala, I just wanted to thank you because your lecture was a great helpf for me to review the material for my clinical diagnosis class for my MSW. Please keep helping us students with your great explanations!

think whatever you want, i know what ive been through...cause of my behavior i lost a lot of people who loved me cause i couldnt control my thoughts and actions and hurt them....

Great presentation, thank u. One lesser known fact: Tylenol/Acetaminophen OD seams low risk, but it's a lethal attempt (an ER nightmare!). Acute acetaminophen poisoning takes so little & requires an antedote of: acetylcysteine/Mucomyst to stop rapid liver failure, & the window to get to the ER for life saving measures is encumbered because no one knew the lethality of it & the person seems fine. True, other methods allow NO time for intervention, but for a crisis response team - it's lethal!.

how can it be made up when suddenly the person's mood is changing so suddenly and for no reason? i got bipolar and it made me do things i thought i will never do like out of nowhere feel sad and thinking about sucide?

[@GingerAutie]

So, if I had depressions and hypomania and mixed episode, I'm suposed to have Bipolar I, even if I NEVER had mania? wtf? :o

"How did they come up with this? They raised their hands." I wish it were that simple. Students should not forget about statistics and research methods.

Pls I would like to know how personality and personality disorder s can go awry? Just few examples will be OK thanks.

LOOOL... listen, i get it that for you it's impossible to see through the eyes of the person who got a disorder but dont say that it's a made up thing. and no im not taking meds... you're a healthy person who got no issues with himself, good for you but dont tell a person who's in pain that it's all in his head, i thought that it's all in my head for a long time and one day i realized that it's not going away...so i guess it's not just in my head.

just cause you had a crappy moment with who ever checked you and decided that something is wrong with you when nothing really is, dosnt mean you need to run down the street and yell " it's a lie" . so they made a mistake with you it dosnt mean it's a lie or fake or made up.
