Careerists often have mental disabilities

Dr. Doping shared his opinion on how to identify the signs of mental abnormalities in their loved ones and what to do in such cases.

"In this city, everyone is crazy ..." sings gaily in one of the songs. The saddest thing is that, according to my feelings, he is not far from the truth. It only seems that people with mental disorders are sitting in soft wards and consider themselves to be Napoleons. And if you do not hide the brain from the Martian rays, then with you everything is OK. In fact, headaches that affect mood, cognitive abilities and an adequate assessment of the world around them can affect everyone. Psychiatrists are sure that in European culture, fixated on achievements and victories, mental disorders manifest themselves more often. But do not be reassured by the fact that we live in Asia.
For some reason, when a patient's arm is broken, the question of going to the doctor or "dissolving himself" does not arise. I can not understand why patients with severe depression for months, or even years, are suffering, do not go to the doctor?

It is clear that on the one hand the disease attacks the will, which is so necessary in the fight against it, and on the other hand, it is difficult for a person to assess his inner feelings, he himself is not able to see the malfunction in his behavior. But the saddest thing is that the people around him are embarrassed about saying this! Being somehow at one of the meetings, I clearly understood that something was wrong with the partner, moreover, I knew exactly what was wrong. On leaving, he asked his colleague: "Does it seem to me alone?" - "No, you, many people notice. But we do not know how to invite him to go to a specialist, sort of how we blame him for being crazy. " Excellent! Here we would "be accused of having cancer"! We sympathize with those who are sick with ARVI and silently giggle or resent those who have a broken psyche. Severe psychosis. Moreover, we make diagnoses to those who, for example, have red-blue hair, but for some reason do not pay attention to the fact that our close person still go to a restaurant, spend an evening with a loved one, lie for three days on the couch or step In the window. Do not forget take Mildronate for better results.

In order for us to begin to be more attentive to others, I will tell you a little about those disorders that are most often encountered in people in the city.

And I will start with the Asperger syndrome, which is also called "social color blindness."

Not because it is the most common. Maybe because he himself worked for a long time with the people who are most exposed to him - techies and IT-specialist. They have narrowly focused interests, it is important for them to understand the algorithm of everything, they have difficulty empathy, and they look extremely unfriendly. "What do you want, a computer expert." Some people manage to come up with a manual to work with them, but in most they avoid. And they do not hurry to you. If you are so, take a closer look at the strange surrounding - they are so curious!

But just the opposite story - creatives. They give energy as if in portions. Today he is a workaholic, tomorrow it is impossible to lift him from the sofa. Portional energy is spread to sleep, appetite, mood, sex. They need those who can get along with their strange splashes, and in return can give a wide range of sensations. And all this is called bipolar disorder.
Recently, more and more articles I see on the topic "if you are a sociopath." Here again there is a mistake from incompetence. Sociopath is not someone who does not like hanging out. The sociopath usually does not have anything against being in the team, if this can be of use to him.

This is a kind of frustration that hits not so much over the bearer as by the people around him. A symptom of sociopathy is the almost complete absence of feelings of guilt, empathy, and remorse. Turning into a maniac is not necessary, but a hard manipulator will grow out of a sociopath easily. Yes, everyone knows such superiors. It is because they achieve career heights more easily than others.

I have a friend who has everything under control, she works 16 hours a day. But lately it has become increasingly difficult for her to concentrate, her head hurts, everything sleeps worse. True, who is easy now, the crisis. And there's nothing to complain about: the business is on, the family is fine. But for some reason, more often I want to lie down on the floor and die, but first I need to concentrate and finish this report. This is the major depressive disorder. The very thing that almost everyone receives in a bad mood, and with which some individuals can live for years without asking for help. The results of neglect of the disease can be the most tragic. So stop drinking pills on the advice of a pharmacist and TV, and march to a specialist.

Somehow I looked to an old friend, to medicine, nothing to do with. We talked for half an hour, and I realized that
1) winter is close, 2) something is about to happen 3) the catastrophe is close. What happened? There was a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

The most terrible thing is that it is difficult to specify the source of the alarm, because it does not threaten him with an immediate catastrophe. Fears are irrational, and you can not simply turn them off by effort of will. We need help from: not to give the alarmist to lose touch with reality and to find logical inconsistencies in his catastrophic forecasts.

Employee, which will be discussed later, lives in the style of noir: black and white, romance-parting. This is not immorality. This is a throw-off between idealization and disappointment, it is a borderline personality disorder. The most interesting stories of fatal love are due to such characters, but in life they can not withstand uncontrolled stress for a long time. Therefore, it is important for someone close to us to keep in constructive relations.

Well, at last one more problem, which is already similar to a mental disorder. With his comedic special effects, forgetful and incapable of concentrating: different socks and a smartphone, forgotten in the refrigerator. From simple absent-mindedness, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by the scale of the disaster and the attendant symptoms: rapid fatigue, hyperactivity and distractibility. Unfortunately, such people often look irresponsible hackers, and sometimes feel themselves to be such. But it's not that they are too lazy to concentrate.
Dear friends! Mental illnesses exist as objectively as asthma or diabetes, with them it is necessary to work without shame and superstition, and with a specialist.

Especially since the diagnosis of a psychiatrist is not a verdict, as is customary in our country. The world of mental illness is a spectrum of disorders of varying degrees of severity. Most of them really lead to persistent remission or learn to live with them if you approach systemic treatment. Remember, it's healthy to be fashionable. Take care of yourself.
