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.

Psoriatic arthritis is a condition that causes swelling in the joints and can result in considerable pain and also scaly patches on the skin. It is linked to the skin condition psoriasis and can also cause problems with other parts of the body, such as the scalp, elbows and knees. It has also been known to be the cause of lesions on the finger and toenails. Another symptom is pain and swelling in the joints and swelling in the toes and fingers. The causes of the disease are not well understood at the moment but it is possible that it may be inherited and that environmental factors could also play a part. if you suspect that you may have the condition it is essential to contact your doctor as soon as possible so that he can make the appropriate tests for a diagnosis.

If you have small fibroids, you may not ever be aware of them. however, if you have noticed a couple of unusual symptoms in and around your abdomen you may have that niggling feeling that something is not quite right and you may be wondering what the signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids are.

Firstly, although you may be able to get a good idea whether or not you have fibroids by checking your symptoms against the list below, you should always get a proper diagnosis from your doctor to confirm this as although fibroids are rarely dangerous, there is always the slight chance that it is not fibroids causing your problem, but something more serious.

1. Bleeding between periods and heavier periods

This can have various causes, including fibroids causing blockages which can cause a backup of blood flow which seems heavy when released. sometimes fibroids can also cause congestion within the blood vessels of the uterus, which can cause erratic blood flow. Lastly, fibroid growth can cause an increase in the size and number of blood vessels in the uterus which results in a greater supply of blood generally.

Pain and discomfort are often the most worrying signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids. Around a third of women with fibroids will report this and it is varies from women to women depending on how many fibroids they have, their location and how large they are, along with their pain tolerance levels. larger fibroids can put pressure on other internal organs which can cause problems or sometimes, if the blood supply becomes disrupted, this can cause the fibroid to die and the degeneration can cause painful symptoms.

Many women report a feeling of pressure from their fibroids. This varies depending on how large the fibroids are. many women will liken the feeling to being similar to a growing pregnancy.

4. Bloating and Fullness

As fibroids enlarge, this often becomes noticeable on the outside, as your abdomen might enlarge quite significantly. although these signs and symptoms are not dangerous, they can often cause discomfort and a tightening waistband is often the trigger which makes many of us take action!

5. Painful Intercourse

Fibroids which are low down in the uterus can cause discomfort during intercourse

Fibroids which press down on the bladder can cause incomplete bladder emptying and and increase in urinary urgency. This can lead to incontinence.

There are several problems which can be linked with fibroids. sometimes, the location can block the passage of sperm through the cervix or into the fallopian tubes. Implantation can sometimes be difficult, particularly if the fibroids are large or located under the womb lining, causing distortion. Fibroids can also be responsible for early miscarriages and pre-term labor.

For some women, some of the secondary signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids are depression and unhappiness which are often caused by the response to the other primary signs.

The good news is that these signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids can be completely eliminated by using natural treatments. if you are prepared to take charge of your own healing, a number of these issues can be solved within days, with actual shrinkage happening within weeks.

Written by a former fibroid sufferer, the system you are about to see is, quite simply, groundbreaking, and I am confident that you will feel relief that you have finally found something that will genuinely help you get rid of your fibroids. if you would like to see further information on how a natural treatment could be your best option, please visit how to Get Rid Of Fibroids. although the system is easy to follow, one of the best features is the outstanding, 3 months free one-to-one email support offered by the author which means that if you have any specific, individual concerns about your own signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids, they will be quickly and efficiently addressed.

About the Author

Gail advocates using natural treatments for fibroids rather than using conventional medication or surgery as this is a workable long term solution.  Conventional medication only treats the symptoms and fibroids are likely to regrow, whereas natural treatments, when used properly can eliminate the root cause by rebalancing the body and restoring overall health.

The term allergy originated in 1906 when a Viennese pediatrician named Clemens von Pirquet observed that some of his patients were extremely sensitive to certain foods and various substances, such as dust and pollen. The doctor called this condition as “allergy” from the Greek words “allos”(meaning, other) and “ergon”(meaning, work).

Earlier doctors believed that allergy symptoms were caused by a malfunction of the antibody called Immunoglobulin. however, later studies showed that various disease mechanisms affect these symptoms.

Today, billions of people worldwide suffer from allergy symptoms from different sources of foods and substances. Allergies are considered one of the leading causes of chronic diseases.

There are different kinds of allergens, each with unique allergy symptoms. these include plant pollens (such as birch trees, ragweed, rye grass and timothy grass), mold spores, medications (penicillin, salicylates, local anesthetics, sulfonamides), insect stings (bee venom, wasp sting), animal allergens (dust mite, dander, animal hair, cockroach calyx), latex products and foods (nuts, seafood, egg whites, sesame, soy, milk, wheat, corn, peas, soybeans, beans and other legumes).

Diagnosis And Treatment Of Allergies

Since there are dozens of possible sources of allergy symptoms, proper diagnosis can be a difficult process. For this reason, doctors use several methods in assessing allergens and arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

Skin tests are usually the first laboratory exam a doctor performs in all kinds of allergies. Using the prick-test method, small amounts of the suspected causes or allergens (pollen, dander, drops of milk, nut extracts, etc) are applied to the patient’s skin. When a patient experiences allergy symptoms, such as itching, reddening or swelling, within an hour after application, he or she is truly allergic to the product. The patient should keep away from these substances or foods as much as possible.

Although the skin test is the most preferred method in spotting the causes of allergy symptoms, it still has some drawbacks. While most people experience itching or swelling immediately after direct contact or intake of a product, other people may display the allergy symptoms several hours or even days after the skin test. Proper treatment to reduce symptoms is important because some allergies can be fatal, with or without physical signs.

Although different kinds of allergies affect people, one thing remains the same ?medical treatments for allergies are not available to cure these conditions. Instead, they are only used in reducing inflammation, rashes, hives or other allergy symptoms. The best factor for the healing process of allergies is still the removal of food or substance sources from your home, office and other areas in which contact with the harmful allergens is likely.
