Question

Diagnose the psych disorder .. =)

Answer 1

from the top of my head I'm thinking borderline or bipolar but I'd have to review the symptoms a bit more

Answer 2

jumping from relationship to relationship, mood swings sound more like borderline, but going from high-productivity to dropping out sounds more like manic behavior tbh

Answer 3

yes i was thinking bipolar as well im just looking over bipolar in my textbook

Answer 4

the only issue I might see is that bipolar disorder is accompanied by periods of depression which is not really described here

Answer 5

@shadow if you're up for some armchair psychology would you mind taking a look at this when you get a chance

Answer 28

hm. honestly having a hard time understanding what she's saying.

Answer 29

ok on listening to it a second time here's what I hear

> "I have kryptonite in me" --> delusional thinking?
> shifting from topic to topic

Answer 30

any ideas based on that?

Answer 31

schiz?

Answer 32

possibly, if we want to go less severe we might choose schizotypal instead

Answer 33

is it the same

Answer 34

schizotypal and schizophrenia are different diagnoses, schizophrenia is more severe

Answer 35

so is this case schizotypal

Answer 36

honestly both could apply here (I kind of hate these types of questions because there's not a lot to go off of) but her appearance and behavior is more in line with a milder diagnosis of schizotypal

Answer 37

a symptom ? unclear thoughts?

Answer 38

symptoms of schizotypal? strange thoughts, being unkempt, strange speech mannerisms, being suspicious of others, unusual emotional responses which are all things we see in that clip
