Hello, after many years of internal conflict, self searching, and some recent decisions to make changes in my life I went to see a psychiatrist and my diagnosis was changed from Major Depressive Disorder to Bipolar I Disorder and Social Phobia.

After quite a lot of reading up on both Asperger's Syndrome and Nonverbal Learning Disorder I'm quite sure I almost meet the criteria for Asperger's and certainly meet the criteria for NLVD, both of ...

I found this forum last year and am confident my wife suffers from this illness. I have been accused of unfaithfullness and am going through many accusations that do not make any sense. From running an escort service to being in the mafia. We have been married for going on 17 years and this started up in the last 4 years. It has caused severe financial and emotional problems for our family. I have 2 ...

I have been on resperidone for a few months and i noticed my sperm has become watery......does that mean i am infertile?...i was diagnosed with schizophrenia after going through a very trying period in my life and ending up with a nervous breakdown. i am just piecing my life back and the last thing i need is to be infertile because of the medication.

I admitted to the doctor that had confronted me that he was right, after vehemently denying it. He was good - glad that I had 'come clean' with him, and willing to help me find some help. Not angry, which I feared. I still can't face the thought of telling my family and don't think I'm going to deal with that.

I feel like I'm having a panic attack. My boyfriend had to go to court today for dui and the judge actually sentenced him to 14 days in jail! I've been diagnosed with postpartum depression, and had my doctor write a note for my bf to give to the judge, saying that he NEEDS to be home with me and the baby and that it would be TRAUMATIC for me to be at home by ...

i can't believe people are brave (is that the right word?) enough to post anything in here - just seeing the words disgust and bring fear inside of me - I haven't read anyone elses posts in here.
I fall into this category but I don't want to talk about it.
But...I just have one question - Is it possible to keep it a secret for the rest of your life without telling anyone you ...

I have been married for almost 4 years. My wife and I have 2 amazing kids. I knew something was very wrong soon after we got married, but assumed that what ever was wrong, I could help her see a better way of looking at the world since many people I know say I have the patience of a saint.

It has only gotten worse over the years and I now act mean back to ...

Although I am mainly right-handed, I do have alters that are left-handed. I can throw a ball with my left hand, swing a baseball either right or left, write with my left hand, swing a golf club left, and paint with my left and right hand. Sometimes, I would notice myself say, eating soup, holding my spoon in my left hand. There was an alter present --big surprise

Can anyone else relate to this? Thank ...
