QUIZ #2 What famous person does this diagnosis bring to mind? ================================================================ THE QUIZ SEEMED TO HAVE A SALUTATORY IMPACT ON THE LAST QUIZ' MYSTERY POSTER, ALBEIT FOR ONLY A PERIOD OF ABOUT 24 HOURS. {Perhaps during that 24 hour period of respite on this thread, he actually contemplated his symptoms, after having seen them listed in the abstract from a medical journal. In any event, 24 hours is still better than nothing. Hence, in the spirit of milking a good thing, here is QUIZ #2. =================================================================== Below is another abstract from a different psychiatric journal (different from the last quiz). As asked in the first quiz, think of what you read here on this thread since last December, and try to guess to whom, from amongst the posters, what is discussed in this new abstract seems most apt. The URL to check this out and to get more help for the one who needs it is: cmhc.com ================================================================== MANIC EPISODE A manic episode is not a disorder in and of itself, but instead is a part of other disorders, most usually bipolar disorder. It is characterized by a time period of an elevated, expansive or notably irritable mood, lasting for at least one week. This disorder must be sufficiently severe to cause difficulty or impairment in occupational, social, educational or other important functioning and can not be better explained by a mixed episode. Symptoms also can not be the result of substance use or abuse (alcohol, drugs, medications) or caused by a general medical condition. A majority of the following symptoms is also present: inflated self-esteem or grandiosity decreased need for sleep (e.g., feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep) more talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing attention is easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant items increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments) {Anyone come to mind yet?} Delusional Disorder SYMPTOMS This disorder is characterized by the presence of non-bizarre delusions which have persisted for at least one month. Non-bizarre delusions typically are beliefs of something occurring in a person's life which is not out of the realm of possibility. All of these situations could be true or possible, but the person suffering from this disorder knows them not to be (e.g., through fact-checking, third-person confirmation, etc.). People who have this disorder generally don't experience a marked impairment in their daily functioning in a social, occupational or other important setting. Outward behavior is not noticeably bizarre or objectively characterized as out-of-the-ordinary. ================================================================== OK, time is up. The nominee for the poster to this thread best described by the discussion set forth above is: NAME___________ SAMPLE POSTING_____________________________________ Please send all entries to webmistress@techstocks.com (I know she will love to hear from you)
