I am diagnosing Sheen with Bipolar disorder which is categorized as an Axis I disorder, in the DSM-V. Bipolar disorder affects approximately 7.5 million people eighteen years or older in any given year (Mohr, 2013). Of the three types of bi-polar disorder, I am diagnosing him with type I bipolar disorder, which is characterized by alternating depressive episodes and one or more manic episodes. “Manic episodes are periods of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive or irritable mood” (Mohr, 2013). During mania someone exhibits extreme mood swings with irritability and sudden outbursts of misplaced rage, work output is decreased, and they may go on spending sprees or engage in promiscuity (Mohr, 2013). He must exhibit at least three of the following symptoms in order to be correctly diagnosed with the disorder. The symptoms for type I bipolar disorder are: decreased need for sleep, inflated self-esteem or grandiosity, distractibility, more talkative than usual, increase in goal

Pat has bipolar I disorder, which is characterized by at least one manic episode per week. It is very common for people with bipolar disorder, especially bipolar I, to stop taking their medications (Proudfoot, 124). This is something that is evident in Pat’s behaviors as he refuses to take his medication when his parents urge him to and he even discusses this with Tiffany. He tells her about how much he dislikes all the medications he’s taken in the past. He tells her, “I used to be on Lithium and Seroquel and Abilify but I don't take them anymore, no. They make me foggy and they also make me bloated” (Silver Linings Playbook, 2012). This is typical of people with bipolar disorder for two reasons. The first is that many of the medications prescribed have negative side effects and the second is that the medications suppress the manic episodes, or highs, that people with bipolar

The struggle with the manic-depressive illness got much worse during her college years. At one point she even thought about seeking guidance for her issues, but could not get herself to follow through with it. There wasn’t another thought of getting some help for years to come. Jamison made the decision to switch to clinical psychology during graduate school where she first began learning how to diagnose psychiatric patients. Not once did she make the connection of the symptoms of these constructs to the symptoms she was personally experiencing, although she did realize that she was more comfortable making diagnoses than her colleagues were. When learning about diseases, some people automatically think that they have that illness if they have experienced any of the listed symptoms. However, Jamison was the complete

He was affected so badly, that he rarely ever had laughter or happiness in his life anymore. This scared the family and what Jamison didn’t realize at the time was that she would be in almost the same place as her father soon enough. At the age of seventeen, Jamison had her first attack from manic-depressive illness. She went from being at an ultimate high to a very low bottom. Thoughts of suicide began parading through her mind. Nobody seemed to notice anything was wrong with Kay besides two friends and one teacher. Somehow she managed to have everyone else think that there wasn’t anything wrong. She went on throughout high school dealing with these dark moods but remained “okay” on the

Bipolar disorder can be severe and long-term or it can be mild with infrequent episodes. People who suffer from this illness may experience symptoms in very different ways and on average will have 8-10 manic or depressive episodes over a lifetime (Simon, 2013). As Kay put it, “manic-depression distorts moods and thoughts, incites dreadful behaviors, destroys the basis of rational thought, and too often erodes the desire and will to live” (Jamison, 1995). Kay experienced very severe symptoms of bipolar disorder, including extremes changes in energy, mood, activity, sleep, behavior, and a suicide attempt, which all can be defining characteristic of the disorder. These symptoms can causes alcohol or substance abuse, relationship problems, and/or difficulty to perform in school or work (Townsend, 2014). However, bipolar disorder can be treated and people with this illness can live a full, productive life. For Kay she was able to control her manic highs and depressive lows with medication and therapy so she could continue her education and career.

Another thing I had an issue with was Arnold’s therapist. He sought out a therapist because he was worried

Jason, in a drunken rage, comes to Ada's apartment and attacks her because of the way the relationship ended. He had cheated on her and was embarrassed by how that came to light. Liam learns of this, takes care of her, and decides he cannot live without her. Ada in turn declares her love for him as well.

To build suspense and pull in the reader more. I thought in that Steve would've said no because it says on p.150 “Steve looking away.” Clearly he was hesitant in his answer but he wanted to help his friend have enough money but probably out of sympathy he said yes.

When Kay was in first grade she witnessed a plane crash during recces. She also got to volunteer at the hospital. The doctors would invite her to watch surgeries. Her home life was kind of sad due to the fact that her dad also experienced manic depression. He would have struggles when he would only want to sleep the day away. Other times, he would be mad. The way Kay had to deal with growing up with her father’s struggle with manic depression helped shaped how she would respond to her own struggle with manic depression.

eventually became Speaker for two more terms- then resigned. This was the last time he resigned for Speaker of the House, but this was certainly not the end to his noteworthy career. He then became Secretary of State during Quincy Adam’s presidency, and eventually became a Senator for over a decade until he resigned. A few years later he returned, serving as a senator until his death (Polsby, p. 148). There is no doubt whatsoever that Clay’s leadership roles were remarkable, but it is very important to realize and accept that he had a rather quick rise to be Speaker of the House. This is something that would be a lot more challenging during this century where there are harder boundaries. Nowadays, as Congress has become more institutionalized,

Dee Fleming, as do many Americans, has someone in her immediate family who suffers from a mental disorder. Her son is mentally ill with schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder causes a person to lose their sense of reality and also causes severe mood changes. Throughout his life, her son has had multiple mental breakdowns. He would often leave the house during his intense mood swings, lose sense of reality, and then suddenly reappear a day or two later with visible injuries (Brown).

Dr. Shinoda states that Clay's happiness would be false because he has buried his identity, but that does not seem to be what has happened at all. Rather, what this film shows is that Clay was able to retain his personality and values under a new name and society or the environment did not even care or so much as notice. That even the most drastic of "essential" or "basic" differences

I’ve seen a therapist before. Granted it was the department therapist and was mandatory due to a work related situation. I never had an issue with that before, so why is this so different? Roy pondered the situation and slowly realized the difference. Probably because this time, I feel as though my job isn’t resting on an evaluation of one

How has clay and more specifically its use, changed the world and the lives of people? Or rather what is clay? Some people think it’s just dirt, but is that really all it is? To find out we have to know more about clay. Its chemically composed of hydrous aluminum silicates, and sometimes it might have little amounts of iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium. It´s also composed of dead plant, animal parts, including minerals. Nearly all the ingredients of soil. Over time water breaks up all the plants, animals, and minerals, pulverizing it deep in the ground, and the bigger particles are removed through the rocks and sand. Leaving behind silt to over time become beds of clay. With this composition, clay becomes a useful and unique substance
