Consider refraining from attempting to control others. My parents exhibit significant psychological instability. However, whenever I suggest therapy, they categorically refuse and instead, shift the blame onto me. This occurs despite the fact that I am the only one who has been in therapy for decades and who appears to navigate life successfully without constantly seeking admiration, money, power, or control. If someone crosses them, they concoct a deranged scheme for revenge, yet they remain convinced that they are fine and that I am the one who is unwell. I had to let go, accept them as they are, and even laugh at their behavior to start enjoying life without the constant worry of my mother overdosing again for attention. Interestingly, while she continues to rant and rave, she hasn't overdosed. It seems that the attempt to control others is what contributes to the perception of mental illness.

Thank you. This is so spot on. Good to hear, all over again, things that I know. We need to let them go to not get afraid or hurt anymore.

Clear... strong...wise...thank you!

My Bio Daughter just contacted me all these years I found her only coming to me for things her story keep changing. She want help get out were she is but I tried to help her but she says not ready to leave. She adult now but she gotta be able to get on her two feet.

I have seen Anosognosia go hand in hand with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. It’s a very confusing and difficult to deal with…. Like constant gaslighting. 😫

These types of people like to refuse proper medication and self medicate.

Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder: Understanding and Helping Your Partner By Julie A. Fast, John D. Preston

In other words, there are no answers for mental health patients who refuse to cooperate and their loved ones are suffering due to their untreated condition. The loved ones are being abused by the patient.

I don’t get it, so Anosognosia is a symptom of bipolar? How about when there is they exhibit schizophrenia more than depression?

Anosognosia shows up in more than one disorder. Dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder.

I personally wouldn't be okay with a diagnosis by anyone (who specializes in treatment of the aforementioned) - that would be a fundamental 'conflict of interest'.

is bipolar mania genetic?

Thank you. My wife is bipolar, I've been living with it for 34 years. She used to take medication, but she thinks its everybody else's problem. She didn't like the stigmatism that people will label her crazy when they find out she is on meds. I see no logic her statement, since it helped and now, yes, people have commented to me that she has a problem. OCD (arranging things for no reason and vacuuming the floors several times a day) is one, no empathy and out of control spending. We have 4 kids, my oldest, 32, is showing the same symptoms.

Tim Herendeen That must be very stressful for you, Tim. I hope your oldest child is more open to treatment, if s/he does receive a diagnosis. Remember to take care of yourself. You are a caregiver, but you must do what is best for you.

People wouldn’t deny their illness, if psyhciatirc meds did not have debilitating side effects. Many people have lost jobs and become permanently disabled because of these “medications”

Eventually you'll get it depending on how good your genes are

Yes because you have to be very sick if you think for yourself and refuse to take neurotoxins (brain poison). And as a psychiatrist you know the person better than they know themselves and this is true even though they've spent their life in their mind and you can only see from the outside. Makes a lot of sense (not)

That's what Allen Frances says. If you believe them you're a hypochondriac and worried well, and if you don't you're really sick. These hypocrites can't even agree among themselves anyway

That's not good bro

while some of what you are saying is true,; & none of it a lie: fact is that for some people the given meds cause severe mental/physical misery disability etc,, and many who faithfully take medication are: unemployed, unable to get a full-time job, physically sick bloated weak, mentally foggy, forced to depend on people welfare etc, beaten down fearful etc,, from what i have read etc: the overall percentage of humans with mental illness has remained constant, ; but the percentage of humans on disability due to mental illness has INCREASED! with good medication, food, job-training/placement, the percentage of people on disability welfare etc due to mental illness should have DECREASED! for some people risperdal, vioxx celebrex, geodon, dapakote, lithium, phen-fen , benadryl, etc can be wonderful, ; but for other people they are' mengle-in-a-bottle' & many therapist doctors psychology psychiatric psychiatrist etc have very LOW opinion of work, independence, & their patients, ; trying to keep them on SSD SSI welfare disability etc,& to be unemployed or only having a part-time job.
