Do you mean what kind of illness can you get from an amoeba?  That would be amoebic dysentery.  Dysentery is an illness involving severe diarrhea that is often associated with blood in the feces. It is caused by ingestion of food containing bacteria, causing a disease in which inflammation of the intestines affect the body significantly. Amoebic dysentery is transmitted by contaminated water, and is well known as a "travelers dysentery" because of its prevalence in developing nations.  Amoebic dysentery is usually treated with a combination of drugs. These include an amoebicide to kill the parasite, an antibiotic to treat any associated bacterial infection, and a drug to combat infection of the liver and other tissues.

Psychosis can be "comorbid" (happen at the same time) as other disorders like Aspergers. If someone already has one form of neurological imbalance, they are more susceptible to other forms as well.\n\nMy son is on the opposite side of this as yours. He initially was screened when he was 7 for autism-spectrum disorders (especially Asperger's), found not to be autistic, given "inattentive ADHD" diagnosis to cover his needs in school until something clearer emerged, and now is diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Psychotic Disorder NOS (age 12). The medications do not take care of all the symptoms, but they make his conditions manageable. Right now he's constantly claiming to be "sensing the energy from small earthquakes in the area," and I've been using the USGS Earthquake site to show him that there's nothing really happening. Sigh. I think the hardest part for me right now is the night terrors, where he is screaming and trying to claw his way into the wall to get away from whatever he is seeing, including me. The only thing that eventually reaches and calms him is for me to sing the lullabies I used when he was an infant (from about 20 feet away). It is surreal to be at one end of the hall at 2:00 in the morning, with soft singing of "Hush Little Baby" comingling with the raw and painful screetches of terror echoing through our house.\n\nThe best way to deal with your son's anxiety is to try to maintain as consistent a routine as possible in all things, and be understanding about the psychotic episodes. If the meds are not working to calm the worst aspects of the psychosis, and the person managing his meds right now insists it is appropriate, get a second opinion.

Psychosis is one symptom of schizophrenia and a symptom of a type of Bipolar Disorder.  You can have Bipolar without psychosis, but you are pretty much guaranteed to be psychotic if you are diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Well, let's break the word up, shall we?  "Quasi-" means "kind of like" or "similar to"... think of "quasar", a star-like object, "sort of like" a star.  "Psychosis" is any severe mental disorder in which contact with reality is lost or highly distorted.  This is a state sometimes found in people suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder.  This disorder got its name because it was originally believed that these people were on the "borderline" of psychosis.

The diagnosis could be differentiated from other known psychoses by a characteristic abnormality in eye pupil reflexes, and, eventually, the development of muscular reflex abnormalities, seizures, memory impairment (dementia) and other signs of relatively pervasive neurocerebral deterioration. Although there were recorded cases of remission of the symptoms, especially if they had not passed beyond the stage of psychosis, these individuals almost invariably suffered relapse within a few months to a few years. Otherwise, the patient was seldom able to return home because of the complexity, severity and unmanageability of the evolving symptom picture. Eventually, the patient would become completely incapacitated, bedfast, and die, the process taking about three to five years on average.

Whatever the cause they're correct. It isn't a mental illness. Eventually you may go mad, but it is an acquired perversity which can be dropped. When you introduce into the body toxic poisons and waste fluids in the body as with the type of activity that kind of life is known for, it attacks the entire body. Total breakdown. That's why it's called Acquired Immune Deficency Syndrome. You flooded the body with poison by that activity. It is not a sex act. You're not designed that way. The colon/rectal area is, simply put, the body's sewer system. Read what happened to Marat during the French Revolution. He escaped his enemies by hiding in the Paris sewers and contracted an incurable skin disease.

generally yes. however only 2% of people with mental illnesses are violent.. stop watching all those stupid hollywood movies..\n\nalso psychopath is not an appropriate word.. psychosis is a symptom.. not an illness...\n\na personality disorder such as anti-social generally are the more appropriate diagnosis..\n\nnote to question asker.. dr. dee doesnt have the slightest fricking clue what he is talking about.. geez.. quite frankly id call his post a textbook example of "projection".. if you want to learn something about psychology.. see what he says if he returns and reads this paragraph.. ;)\n\nas to your hypothetical.. many serial killers prior to being caught were very well known and liked members of society.. chances are if you knew a serial killer you would have no idea he was in fact one... ted bundy for example was a very charming gentleman.. nobody would have guessed.\n\n\n>>As to bipolar.. aka manic-depressive.. some are known to be violent at times, when they are, it is impulsive. For example... If a person with bipolar attacks or kills somebody its not well planned and would be obvious to authorties who was responsible for it. Because of the nature of bipolar disorder... the person would eventually "come back to reality". Now as to psychopaths who are "serial killers"... by the time somebody had claimed enough victems to be labeled as such, would be experienced and "rational" enough to know not to behave in a way which would indicate their guilt for murder or any other crime. Many people who have a tendancy towards psychosis are very intelligent people, ironically.\n\nlizzie borden is an example of "impulsive".. as I already mentioned.. she killed her parents with an axe.. she wasnt a serial killer.. and from my understanding of the story.. they probably deserved it..\n\nby the way.. Ms. Borden was found "not guilty" of those murders... does it mean she was innocent?.. probably not (think O.J.).. but legally she was...

panic attacks are related more to anxiety disorders, and the experience is a severe rush of adrenaline. \n\nSchizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.\nAlthough the disorder is primarily thought to affect cognition, it can also contribute to chronic problems with behavior and emotion.\n\nDemonic possession, in supernatural belief systems, is a form of spiritual possession whereby certain malevolent extra-dimensional entities, demons, gain control over a mortal person's body, which is then used for an evil or destructive purpose. Unlike in channelling or other benign forms of possession, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism. Many cultures and religions contain some concept of demonic possession, but the details vary considerably. Some cultures, in particular the Roma people also believe that demons can also possess animals, plants, deceased persons or inanimate objects.

someone who is psychotic is obviously way out of touch with reality. They may be extremely hostile, paranoid, speaking in sentneces that make no sense, agitated, and could possibly become violent, but not always.

Hey, accidents happen and kids will be kids.  My two-year old gets into everything as well.\n\nJust keep an eye on her for the next three days.  If she starts showing symptoms, then go to the doctor/ER.\n\nDon't worry, she will probably be OK.\n\nFrom Yahoo! Health:\n"Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. They develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, and the illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. However, diarrhea and dehydration may be so severe that it is necessary to go to the hospital. Older adults, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are at highest risk."
