Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City 52242-1000, USA.\n\nCompulsive buying disorder is characterised by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges or behaviours regarding shopping and spending, which lead to adverse consequences. Compulsive buying disorder has been estimated to affect from 2 to 8% of the general adult population in the US; 80 to 95% of those affected are female. Onset occurs in the late teens or early twenties, and the disorder is generally chronic. Psychiatric comorbidity is frequent, particularly mood, anxiety, substance use, eating and personality disorders. Treatment has not been well delineated, but individual and group psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and 12-step programmes may be helpful. Debt consolidation and credit counselling will be appropriate for many individuals who have compulsive buying disorder. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) re- uptake inhibitors may help some patients regulate their buying impulses. Self-help books are also available.\n\n\nI hope this helps...\n\nDon

I have adult ADD.  I wasn't diagnosed until I was about 22.  I never had problems in elementary or high school with schoolwork.  I was always busy with after-school activities, which made me happy.  I had problems with depression at about 16, which lasted until about 21...  I have a lot of self-esteem issues, problems with outbursts of anger, problems dealing with frustration and anger.  I forget details, so I have to try very, very hard to keep track of important things.  I miss appointments, I lose important things, I sometimes say stupid things without thinking.  I think the thing I have the biggest problem with is self-esteem, though.  I can't blame it on anyone else, because I give myself the most grief for making mistakes.  I find that real life in much, much harder than school was.

The Myth of Mental Illness\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct is a controversial book by Thomas Szasz. It is highly influential in the anti-psychiatry movement. In it, Szasz argues that mental illness is a social construct created by doctors, and the term can only be used as a metaphor given that an illness must be an objectively demonstrable biological pathology, whereas psychiatric disorders meet none of these criteria. What psychiatrists label mental illness is in fact a deviation from the consensus reality or common morality, Szasz says.\n\nThe book extends the arguments of Szasz's paper The Myth of Mental Illness, first published in 1960. In it, Szasz argues that beliefs cannot be caused by brain disease, although such artifacts as visual (or hearing) defects can.

I can give you the below link, but that's really just dipping your toe into the pond of this issue. I would check out some psychology books or divorce advice books. Either of those two types should give you a much more indepth knowledge on what this issue is all about.

Yes.  The new revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual has a entire sub-category for Neoconservatism under "Personality Disorders."

Hi\n\nI feel that what your doctor could be referring to is a diagnosis of psychosomatic disorder.   Psychosomatic means :   Of or relating to a disorder having physical symptoms but originating from mental or emotional causes.\n\nWhilst the symptoms you are experiencing are very real, they have no organic origin.    It is more a case of the influence of your subconscious mind on your body.\n\nMost people with this disorder are genuinely in need of help and this help needs to be two fold.\n\nFirstly your physical symptoms must be addressed because as I said before, they are real.\nSecondly, you need Counselling to locate what is causing this to occur and how to locate ways within yourself to stop.\n\nI hope this helps.

Global Assessment of Functioning.  \n\nConsider psychological, social, and occupational functioning on a hypothetical continuum of mental health-illness. Do not include impairment in functioning due to physical (or environmental) limitations. \n  \n\nCode (Note: Use intermediate codes when appropriate, e.g., 45, 68, 72.) \n  100 \n| \n91 Superior functioning in a wide range of activities, life's problems never seem to get out of hand, is sought out by others because of his or her many positive qualities. No symptoms. \n90 \n| \n| \n81  Absent or minimal symptoms (e.g., mild anxiety before an exam), good functioning in all areas, interested and involved in a wide range of activities, socially effective, generally satisfied with life, no more than everyday problems or concerns (e.g., an occasional argument with family members). \n80 \n| \n| \n71  If symptoms are present, they are transient and expectable reactions to psychosocial stressors (e.g., difficulty concentrating after family argument); no more than slight impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., temporarily falling behind in schoolwork). \n70 \n| \n |  \n61 Some mild symptoms (e.g., depressed mood and mild insomnia) OR some difficulty in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., occasional truancy, or theft within the household), but generally functioning pretty well, has some meaningful interpersonal relationships. \n60 \n| \n| \n51  Moderate symptoms (e.g., flat affect and circumstantial speech, occasional panic attacks) OR moderate difficulty in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., few friends, conflicts with peers or co-workers). \n50 \n| \n| \n41  Serious symptoms (e.g., suicidal ideation, severe obsessional rituals, frequent shoplifting) OR any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., no friends, unable to keep a job). \n40 \n| \n| \n| \n31  Some impairment in reality testing or communication (e.g., speech is at times illogical, obscure, or irrelevant) OR major impairment in several areas, such as work or school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood (e.g., depressed man avoids friends, neglects family, and is unable to work; child frequently beats up younger children, is defiant at home, and is failing at school). \n30 \n| \n| \n21 Behavior is considerably influenced by delusions or hallucinations OR serious impairment, in communication or judgment (e.g., sometimes incoherent, acts grossly inappropriately, suicidal preoccupation) OR inability to function in almost all areas (e.g., stays in bed all day, no job, home, or friends) \n20 \n|  \n| \n11  Some danger of hurting self or others (e.g., suicide attempts without clear expectation of death; frequently violent; manic excitement) OR occasionally fails to maintain minimal personal hygiene (e.g., smears feces) OR gross impairment in communication (e.g., largely incoherent or mute). \n10  \n|  \n1  Persistent danger of severely hurting self or others (e.g., recurrent violence) OR persistent inability to maintain minimal personal hygiene OR serious suicidal act with clear expectation of death. \n0 Inadequate information. \n\nThere is a similar scale for children - the CGAS.  As a therapist, I can use GAF scores to track whether or not someone is improving.  They are somewhat subjective - I might rate someone at 45 and another therapist might say 40 or 50 depending on the situation.  It's not a huge deal to most people, your diagnosis and treatment should be your primary focus.

I am bipolar and found them very helpful..\ncut and paste the links :)\n1.) http://www.a-silver-lining.org/bpndepth/... \n2.) http://www.mental-health-today.com/bp/ds...\nthe first explains the process for diagnoses.\nthe second applies to mood disorders\nHope this helps ya out \nGood Luck.

Which one? According to the DSM IV system for classicifation of mental diseases that american psychiatrists use there are several that I'm too bored to list. Try looking from codes 301.0 to 301.9 in the web page below. These are usually notoriously difficult to treat (especially antisocial personality disorder).\n\nDo note that these do not simply "pass" and you cannot "wait it out". Most of the patients should consider cognitive therapy or some other form of psychotherapy. Medications may be indicated but are not necessarily first line treatment.\n\nPlease do not confuse personality disorders with schizophrenia or other mental illnesses.
