Mental Disorders ._.


-Nowadays many people all over have mental disease, writing honestly and true, I’m not very good at that kind of physiological topics, maybe I barely know this topic but I think I can handle it so here we go, there are many mental disorders but I would like to focus in just four for making a long story short, I will begin writing about Obsessive-compulsive disorder, many of us we already have heard about this one that is one of the most common mental disorders the human being can have; this mental disorder is characterized of being an anxiety disorder in the most of the cases, that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors. You may indentify many of the symptoms just by sight, excessive cleaning or washing, fear to the germs, repeated checking, anxiety for many violent or sexual thoughts, aversion to certain numbers etc. These symptoms are time-consuming and are categorized to be paranoid and potentially psychotic. Despite the irrational behavior, this Obsessive compulsive disorder is also catalogued as a symptom or associated with above-average intelligence, commonly traits such as high attention to detail, avoidance of risk, careful planning, exaggerated sense of responsibility and a tendency to take time in making decisions.    
The next mental disorder, is known as multiply personality disorder, (actually it’s called Dissociative identity disorder nowadays), this mental disorder is characterized by at least two different personalities (identities) alternately control the person’s behavior and usually accompanied by lost of memory of the original identity (that is in charge of the body initially) while the others are in charge of it. Diagnosing this can be kind of difficult because it might be confused with other mental disorders; it’s not just something you can actually recognize in the person. This mental disorder is catalogue as trauma-based and stress-related disorders.
Continuing with the topic, the mental disorder known as bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder, is characterized as a mood disorder, because there are many stages in this special mental disorder, commonly is divided into two common episodes, the energy-full-boost one and the depressive one, mostly of the time, the dominant one is the depressive one, in time line it’s more probable to being depressed two months and later then just one month of positive attitude, these events are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Severe manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.
And for concluding these text, the last mental disorder Schizophrenia, this one is characterized by a breakdown of thought and poor emotional responsiveness, the most common symptoms of this mental disorder are easily identified like auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking including by social and occupational dysfunction.
