QUIZZ--What famous person does this diagnosis bring to mind?
================================================================
Having been called the resident unseemly lawyer, I feel it is my privledge to make a suggestion:
After reading the past weeks output of this thread, I propose that Silicon Investor link the CCEE topic with psychiatrist.com
=================================================================
NOW FOR THE QUIZZ,
Below is an abstract from a psychiatric journal. Think of what you read here on this thread since last December, and try and guess to whom, from amongst the posters, what is discussed in the abstract seems most apt.
==================================================================
Certain characteristic features figure prominently in the clinical
picture of paranoia.4,5 Objective features include anger, irritability,attention to small details, guardedness, evasiveness, litigiousness,hostility, humorlessness, self-righteousness,
hypersensitivity, sullenness, and suspiciousness.
{Anyone come to mind yet?}
The absence of deterioration and other psychopathologic symptoms distinguishes delusional disorder from other psychotic disorders. However, diagnosis is complicated by the fact that these patients do not initially seek psychiatric help. Instead,they often focus on the delusion or mood. In effect, psychiatric illness is denied.
Furthermore, their mental state is surprisingly normal; thinking,
orientation, attention, memory, emotional responses and perception, are intact. Responses such as hostility, anger, sarcasm,
and lack of cooperation commonly seen in other paranoid conditions
may also be present. Since these patients are mentally intact aside from the delusions, they are capable of acting on delusions unencumbered by confusion, hallucinosis, or major motor symptoms.
{I know some of you must have a candidate in mind by now. One more hint}
In mania, paranoid features may arise that are associated with heightened mood, excessive self-confidence, and grandiosity.
==================================================================
OK, time is up.
The nominee for the poster to this thread best described by the discussion set forth above is:
