I have been told, by peers, that I seem to have bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, and multiple personality disorder. what are the symptoms for these mental problems?

I also hear little voices in my head that are constantly arguing with each other, no matter what I try to do to stop them.

I don't know if this is relevant either, but today in class I was reading a book, and a few people were staring at me. I started having a panic attack and crying. what could this be?

Peers cannot diagnose, especially if they aren't inside of your head.

If you want a proper diagnosis, talk to a psychiatrist or – better yet – therapist.
Especially if you hear voices, you'll want to seek some psychological assistance. if you don't know where to start or how to get help, start with seeing your doctor. They can recommend steps from there.

For clearer definitions, you should google each disorder individually, but:
Bipolar disorder has several types, but basically means that you go through severe mood swings. Highs and lows. I have bipolar type II, and I also have hallucinations and panic attacks without medication. but you'd also have to have severe ups and downs.
I don't know much about ADHD, but you would have trouble paying attention, and even reading a book would be difficult. you don't seem to have that.
Schizophrenia is likely, but schizophrenics have trouble expressing emotion. not many cry.

Definitely seek assistance.
This should be more than a curiousity.
If you get proper medication, you can live a relatively normal life.

Good luck<3

Bipolar disorder – Periods of mania that last at least 4 days but usually last for months, symptoms of mania include insomnia, loads of excess energy, risky behaviours, hypersexuality, increased spending, etc.

Periods of depression, symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness or doom, suicidal ideation, loss of intrest in activities that once help pleasure, over sleeping, increase/decrease in appetite.

ADHD – I dont know alot about but i hear its very similar to the manic phase of bipolar disorder

Schizophrnia – Hallucinations, such as hearing voices – real voices, not voices in your head but voices that you cannot tell arent real if you had your eyes closed.

Delusions – false ideas, so believing people are out to get you or that you know someone famous etc.

there are several other symptoms of schizophrenia that mimic those of depression.

Multiple personality disorder,, also known as DID – sufferfer is usually unaware of other personalities, will have periods of blank memory, must have suffered repeat, severe trauma to develop DID.

I cannot stress how HIGHLY unlikely it is you have all these disorders although you may well have one, or somethign else you havnt even considered like schizoaffective disorder. However the only person how will ever be able to tell you for sure is a psychiatrist – go and see one if you are worried, best of luck!

Look it up in a DSM.
I am no doctor, I'm just a teen who's kind of obsessed with psychology. To me, it sounds like you COULD have Schitzoaffective Disorder. It's a mix of a mood disorder (bipolar) and a psychotic disorder (schitzophernia). Multiple personality disorder, I'm not too sure, but I don't think that's an actual condition. It's a symptom, usually of schitzophernia.

You didn't mention your age. I just read an article, the link is below. Check it out, see if anything sounds like what you are experiencing. have you talked with anyone about this? Maybe your parents, a close friend, or a councelor at school? Maybe you should check with your doctor. They may be able to help you figure out what is going on. The sooner you find out, the better things will be. it seems there are a lot of people with similar feelings, so don't feel alone.

I hav multiple personality disorder.. but i dont think im bipoler,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I cry alot and have anxiety and panic attacks but still!

Bi polar disorder – Is a mood disorder. The sufferers goes through periods of mania and periods of depression. These episodes of mania and depression may last a few days to a few weeks. There might be periods of feeling normal in between. The Mania is very severe it is not like hyperactivity it is like a level of hyperactivity that is beyond human. The sufferer will talk non stop and may loose their sense of reality, will do and say uncontrollable things like beating someone up, or spending their life savings in one afternoon. The depression is also severe.

ADHD – Is a behavioral disorder. The sufferer has a very short attention span and can't concentrate for long, is hyperactive and constantly moving and fidgeting and has poor impulse control and does not consider the consequences of their actions or inhibit their behavior. To be diagnosed with ADHD you have to have had it your whole life, it does not appear in later childhood or teen years also it is present all day every day no sporadically like Bi Polar.

Schizophrenia – Is a psychotic disorder which means the sufferer loses touch with reality. They usually don't know they have the disorder. They may have delusions that people are trying to kill them or read their mind or something and can have hallucinations which means they see and/or hear things that aren't there. They can't stay on one train of thought, they may skip from one thought to another and make no sense.

Multiple personality disorder is actually called dissociative identity disorder. in this disorder the sufferer has two or more (often more) totally different identities, changing from one to the other at various times. each identity is often unaware of the other identities and they think they are the only one, but there are big chunks of life missing from their memories.

panic attacks are a separate disorder on their own.

I've tried st johns wart and ginko biloba for circulation but is there any that are stronger?

Ganoderma healing

In the early 1970's the veil of secrecy begin to be lifted with various researchers beginning to study the medicinal properties of ganoderma. the research mainly by Chinese and Japanese and the analysis and clinical experiments done by hospitals, collages and pharmaceutical manufacturers, has clearly established the extensive efficacy in the healthy functioning of almost every part of the body.

In China, Reishi is used for its muscle relaxing and analgesic (pain-inhibiting) effects. In one study, Reishi alleviated anxiety in 18 of 20 patients after four months use. It was concluded that the mushroom has an essentially calmative function, but is neither a narcotic nor a hypnotic.

It truly is a natural wonder drug with many healing properties. It is a hemocatharsis, detoxificant, diuretic, liver protector, intestine regulator, cardio tonic, blood pressure adjuster, a cold tonic, antitussive and expectorant, a tranquilizer and anti tumor agent. It can help your bodies metabolism, prevent tissue degeneration, improve the bodys immune system and help one's self eliminate viruses.

There are many claims on the internet about the fabulous healing powers of Ganoderma but one really has to search and do a bit of fact finding before they take on the decision to try Ganoderma. While we have only brushed over some of the healing properties that Ganoderma can provide we have a testimonial page from exisiting users of Ganoderma and some of the postive experiences they have had.

The Ganoderma mushroom encourages cellular detoxification, by activating and energizing the cells to deal with the accumulating toxins either in the cell nucleus or membrane. the cells are induced to expel the toxins and, as the cells do this, sometimes, the process produces an appearance of the symptoms related to the person’s prevailing problem.

Herbal Therapy:
For a soothing tea, Mary Bove, L.M., N.D., a naturopathic physician and director of the Brattleboro Naturopathic Clinic in Vermont, suggests blending lavender, oats, linden flower, catnip and lemon balm. (Although oats are usually though of as a food, they also have a medicinal effect, and herbalists recommend them for a variety of health problems.) look for these dried herbs in most health food stores. Dr. Bove says to buy 1/2 ounce of each of the dried herbs in cut form, then mix them together. to make a day's supply of tea, according to Dr. Bove, use four tablespoons of this herbal blend per quart of boiling water. Pour the water over the herbs and steep for about ten minutes. Strain until only the liquid remains, then drink the tea while it's warm. she says this can be sweetened, if preferred. she suggests drinking a cup after each mel and up to six cups a day if necessary.

Have you tried vitamin B complex. if your nerves are frayed it could be that these vitamins are lacking or you have a higher requirement for them. try B50 strength, time release format. B support the nervous system as a whole. Magnesium also supports the nervous system. It would be worth trying these first. Magnesium is best taken in combination with calcium and the citrate formulation is well absorbed. Take B complex in the morning. Take magnesium/calcium after your evening meal. you could also try lemon balm tea or in capsule form…..known to ehlp anxiety.

St Johns wort is more for depression rather than anxiety.

Rhodiola rosacea [an adaptogen] could be tried also if you have been through or are going through a particularly stressful period in your life.

Best wishes.

I like Ben S's suggestions. In addition, there are lots of products out there that have been effective against anxiety and panic attacks, incuding Native Remedies Triple Complex never Tonic and Mindsoothe.

A wonderful herbal product for the heart and panic attacks is Dr. Christopher's Hawthorne Berry Syrup. I use it regularly.

Though not specifically for panic attacks or anxiety, cayenne pepper extract is outstanding for overall cardiovascular health.

Timoty: I think I can help. St. Johns is great but more for depression than anxiety. I recommend 5-HTP, L-Tyrosine, GABA, and Ashwaganda and Vit B's. its kind of expensive to buy all these individually so i use a formula that has all of them called panicyl. It works well for me. Hope this helps Timoty.

ginseng calms me down and puts me in a great mood. don't know the reason, maybe it is just in my head, but i don't think so.

I use Valerian, used in Kalms tablets available in most chemists, Natracalm tablets I find better but they're not sold in most chemists.

Tea – no seriously.

My boyfriend had his tetanus shot on thursday, and today (saturday) he had difficulty breathing. he said it was painful and it lasted for quite a while. after we ate dinner and walked around for a bit he felt better, and feels fine now. I'm just wondering if that was connected to the tetanus shot, because difficulty breathing is a sign you need to see the doctor. Is 2 days later still in the time period you need to be monitoring symptoms of a tetanus vaccine?

Sounds to me like someones looking for symphony, a tetanus shot shouldn't have any ill affects. I've given about a hundred thousand of these without ill effects, did the Symphony thing work, if it did, he won.

mainly symptoms like pain in veins could appear within 3 months after that its not related reading from ur mail you both are too worried and its most likely ur bf suffered a panic attack.If the real problem is his breathing it would ve had stopped by now symptoms related to the shot wont clear up they only become worse so dont worry .

Whenever I try to commit to being proactive, it always puts me in such an agitated state of being. The muscles in my shoulder tense up, instead of breathing normally I hold it in and sigh a lot, and I get really bad heartburn. I wind up feeling nervous in social interactions and my sense of fun and humor disappears. this seems to last until I give up on however it was I decided to be proactive.

Example #1: my current job doesn't pay very well, so earlier this I resolved to apply to better jobs and force my self do so on a regular basis. but after browsing some ads, the nervous symptoms appeared and kept getting worse, even after I quit and did something else. The next day at work they got so bad it almost felt like a panic attack, so I just gave up.

Example #2: Earlier today I wrote up a list of things I've been meaning to do. (#1. Do laundry. #2 Apply to some jobs. # fill out some medical paperwork. Etc.) At first I felt good and excited, but then the nervousness set in.

you need a drink to realax.

Maybe see a life coach or something. Medication?

maybe it's because u think about everyting u have to do all at the same time or one anxious thought after another. try doing one thing at a time and taking it one day at a time and set a reasonable time frame for yourself. and if u dont get the task done in time, dont beat yourself up because then you'll only focus on your failure. Instead, focus on your next goal one day at a time because tomorrow is not promised and no a drink would not help, it would just cloud your judgment.

Does celexa get rid of the physical symptoms of anxiety such as heart racing, lips twitching, mumbling?

Matt s, I have been on celexa for many years,I can't say that it gets rid of symptoms of anxiety, I still have to take a xanax for panic attacks as perscribed and it will stop a panic attack very easily, maybe you should talk to your doctor about this problem. Good Luck Rita V

I was doing some research (helping a friend) who complains of being constantly dizzy and disoriented. He had a panic attack in his car a few months ago and now everytime he gets into his car he comes close to suffering another one. However, the dizziness and disorientation (he also has problems sleeping) are constant, car or not. His parents think it's anxiety but I'm not quite sure.

What other diseases or disorders can cause those symptoms?

Pamela Detrow was having lunch in Milwaukee when she suddenly broke into a cold sweat, became dizzy and felt her heart racing. Thinking this would pass quickly, she asked her friends to order her a salad and diet soda, then stepped outside for some fresh air. But within a couple of minutes, the symptoms became so profound that she dragged herself back to the table, unable to lift her arms or raise her head.

Detrow was having a heart attack that November day in 2009, but she didn’t know it.

For more on heart health, watch “A Barbara Walters Special: a Matter of Life and Death” tomorrow at 10 p.m. ET on ABC!

As it turns out, neither did the emergency room doctors at a nearby hospital. upon seeing that she was an avid exerciser with no heart problems, they diagnosed a panic attack and sent her off with anti-anxiety pills and medication to lower her blood pressure, which had increased that day.

“Because I was somebody who did not have a history of heart disease, I believed them, because I didn’t know any different,” Detrow told ABCNews.com. “I was aware of the heart attack symptoms with the crushing chest pain where you clutch yourself and fall over: the classic male symptoms.”

Detrow, 58, is a poster girl for a campaign launched this week to raise women’s awareness that atypical symptoms, such as profound fatigue, unfamiliar dizziness, cold sweats and unexplained nausea or vomiting, can signal that part of their heart muscle is dying, and they could die, too.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. An American woman suffers a heart attack every minute. Yet after years of public education programs, the message hasn’t penetrated.

When Detrow returned home to Washington, D.C., her internist sent her to a cardiologist, where, three days later, the symptoms returned. she underwent an angiogram that showed she’d had a heart attack but did not have blocked arteries. Doctors prescribed a daily aspirin, the powerful blood pressure drugs valsartan and metoprolol, and a low-salt diet. they told her that after some rest followed by cardiac rehabilitation, “I would be fine, and that’s what happened.”

Today, the former member of the new York Road Runners Club again enjoys 5K and 10K races. she notes the irony of having a heart attack when when her husband was the one with heart disease.

“My husband has been on blood pressure medications for umpteen years. when everyone heard about my heart attack, they asked ‘why you and not him?’”

Although there are several different anxiety disorders, one of the most common is obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD. People with OCD can find their lives are revolving around obsessions and compulsions. They struggle with thoughts that they find are very difficult to stop and compulsions that have become habits that they feel they just have to perform. the time that most sufferers use the obsessions and compulsions is when they feel their anxiety is high and they may be going to have a panic attack. this is the way many anxiety sufferers cope with their condition. But this dependency can mean this is a difficult anxiety disorder to overcome.

Almost as common as OCD is an anxiety disorder which we know as social anxiety disorder. Although at first glance this disorder might be mistaken for shyness, it is something completely different. whereas shyness is perfectly normal and really does not stop a person from living a fairly normal life, social anxiety on the other hand is a debilitating mental disorder. Many sufferers find it almost impossible to attend any kind of social gathering and some have even been known to become house-bound such is the fear of meeting people. this unfortunately means a much lower quality of life for any person who suffers from social anxiety.

More and more people these days are struggling with health anxiety. this is an anxiety disorder that is better known by it’s more common name of hypochondria. Health anxiety is a condition that leads the sufferer to believe that the most minor of ailments are actually really serious illnesses. So even the slightest twinge can lead them to imagine the most terrible things. this leads many people to research their symptoms and spend time doing a self diagnosis. all this research on the internet leads them to become more and more anxious, sometimes even convincing themselves they have a life threatening condition. this habit which only leads to increased fear and anxiety is known as cyberchondria.

Agoraphobia is also a common anxiety disorder, although many people fail to realise this. Another misconception about agoraphobia is that it’s simply a fear of leaving your home, but that’s not the case. Agoraphobia would be much better described as the fear of something unpleasant happening when you’re in a place where it would be hard to deal with. In fact, most people with agoraphobia do not fear leaving their home. Instead, they fear that they will have a panic attack whilst out in public, and the embarrassment that an attack in public would cause is what prevents someone with agoraphobia from going out.
