Someone Please tell me what disorder my mom has?

Posted by rjlockhart98 on October 14, 2005, at 22:51:21

Ok, i have had it.

She just told this rude nurse that said a saracastic comment to her, "lady go away and let me do my work, you are in the way" and ignored her, ..."you messed with the wrong wasp bitch, i will have your unethical *ss put to the floor". Now if you continue your little "jokes" you are going to pay, directly looked her in the eye. The nurse rolled her eyes, and said whatever lady. My mom picked up some medical papers about my grandmother, Oh thats it? threw them in her face, you lazy unethical animal, you have not given my mother attention, medicine is off time, i have call in about her. she has fell twice after she broke her leg, and now i know your lying to me becuse you said you didnt know where the HELL the brace was, then you found it so quickly. again and you DID NOTHING? Thats it. I am directly making a report against you, how you treat, you smerk, and additude. Thank you and you have a wonderful day.

She goes into rages, gets delusional that god has given her signs on what to do to. She will demand things her way.

Makes fun and belittes my disorder and my medications, and says that i need natural remidies.

Will scream, break mirrors, and walk in paces saying "no no no". My stepdad is a nut, and attacks her, she says listen you f*cker, i will divorce your dumbass, you dont KNOW ANYTHING i go through. He doesnt and is cold.

She has EXTREME anger from the past, and takes it out.

PLEASE TELL me what sort of disorder does this sound to you. Personality disorder, i belive from the past happened.

Please post

Matt

sounds like the early signs of schizophrenia or schizoeffective.

Lunesta might be right, but diagnosing biological and personality disorders is extremely difficult and requires much information that a professional would need time to accumulate. It sounds like it would be difficult to convince your mother to seek psychiatric help. Regardless of what her malady is, it does seem that intervention with medication would probably serve the purpose of reducing her stress level and allow her to think more clearly until a more definitive treatment plan can be implemented.

What are you yourself being treated for?

Schizophrenics are profoundly ill, withdrawn, hear voices, most never have families, and become ill at an entirely earlier age. They live in extreme paranoia and do not interact with others much. They have formal thought disorder and flat affect. When you talk to them it is like you are talking to a robot. What they say doesn't make sense at times. They live their lives on high doses of antipsychotic medication and have repeated hospitalizations. This isn't a diagnosis you can make over the Internet. Diagnosis of schizophrenia is extremely difficult and extreme care must be made in making it. It is usually a lifelong disorder with a poor prognosis.

she sounds pissed off. If you're going to medicate in this situation--which may or may not be appropriate-- you'll probably want to focus on helping her calm down without **dumbing** her down. so...my guess would be medicate like its mild bipolar (as-needed sleeping pills, as-needed anti-anxiety, low-dose mood-stabilizer, like keppra or trileptal...I'd avoid using antidepressants, neuroleptics, or high-dose or hardcore mood-stabilizers). When and if she cools off, then would be the time for some sort of psychosocial intervention--therapy, support group, *SOMETHNG*-- to make her less miserable (and when that happens, people around her will be less miserable). Its impossible to say what exactly is going on with her--it sounds mostly likely a stressful life, mixed with maladaptive behaviors, **maybe** an underlying problem, like mild bipolar (some bipolar IIs have "anger attacks") or a more agitated sort of depression. Schizophrenia and schizoaffective sound a little bit extreme. As for her marriage...I dont really know what to tell you there. Marriage makes some people crazy, and so does divorce. I guess the best way to go would be to help her re-gain a bit of self-control, so she can step back, *sses her options, and go from there. But...this is just a wild guess on my part. If she went to a shrink, she might be DX'd borderline...I think thats a pretty sexist diagnosis myself (80% of people so diagnosed are female), and it kind of overlaps with the old-school concept of "hysteria"...its not so much a diagnosis as it is a condemnation of behavior that some find inappropriate for women. As for your mom's condemnation of your psychiatric treatment...hey, it happens. My parents went from telling me drugs were just "suppressing my feelings" to demanding I take my pills in their presence (that was when I decided to stop all medication). People believe whatever they want to believe, and whatever makes the most sense in the framework of how the view life and their other beliefs. What they believe and how they behave may change, but its usually not a sudden thing so...hopefully, if nothing else, your mom will calm down some and leave you alone.

Anger and lots of it. A personality disorder of some sort. She is lucky the nurse didn't charge her with assault. Whatever it is she needs help. But what you have said about her in the past makes me think she is never going to go and get help on her own. Something big is going to have to happen and then she will be forced into treatment of some sort. I'm sorry Matt, it must be really stressful for you.

But you are sick too and I think that although your mom isn't helping you anxiety that you should focus on getting better yourself. What have you done about joining that church prayer group?
