Psychiatry is such an interesting topic to study. Probably the only highlight in my entire study process (minus the psychiatric drugs part). Relating psychiatric conditions to people I actually know further enhance the enjoyment of this study process.
Let me run you through a few of them alright?? See if you can guess which person suits what the most.
1. Manic episode
Distractability, Irresponsibility, Flight of Ideas, Talkative, Inflated self-esteem.
2. Cluster A Personality Disorder
Distrust, Suspicious, Projection as main self defence, Interpersonal awkwardness, Eccentric appearance, Social Isolation.
3. Cluster B Personality Disorder - Histrionic
Excessive emotionality, Attention seeking, Overly concern with appearance, Sexually provocative.
4. Cluster B Personality Disorder - Narcissistic (Ppl all get this definition wrong man)
Grandiosity (Inflated self esteem), Sense of entitlement, May react to criticism with rage, Demand best health care services.
5. Cluster C Personality Disorder - Dependant
Submissive and clinging, Excessive need to be taken care of, Low self confidence
Interesting ain't it??? I specifically remember these few condition based on people I actually know. But I ain't gonna reveal it here (never know when these drama seekers are lurking round the corner). You've just gotta be thick skin enough to ask. Haha.
Back to studies!!!!!
