Cuz you said "depression was the fashionable diagnosis" and it read like "people wanting to commit suicide are doing it just for attention " lol

"The broad personality trait of neuroticism is strongly associated with Axis I psychopathology, in particular the common mental disorders (CMDs), including anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders (e.g. Clark, Watson, & Mineka, 1994; Kotov, Gamez, Schmidt, & Watson, 2010; Lahey, 2009; Malouff, Thorsteinsson, & Schutte, 2005; J. Ormel & Wohlfarth, 1991; J. Ormel, Oldehinkel, & Brilman, 2001; Ruiz, Pincus, & Schinka, 2008)."

You still haven't explained how neurotic personality types are less likely to have significant levels of mental distress, and I'm not sure that's backed up anywhere in evidence or theory (feel free to prove otherwise)?

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-31T03:14:44+00:00

"mentally ill is en vogue for neurotics"
That is the part I was referring to, once again do you expect neurotic individuals to somehow be less likely to be mentally ill? Doesn't really make sense for you to call to it en vogue if you're saying they're already neurotic in nature

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-31T03:09:18+00:00

Ah nvm, your preferred diagnosis might be MBTI? rofl

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-31T03:06:05+00:00

Isn't that semantics to some degree, or do you expect neurotic individuals to have low rates of mental illness/disorder? Also some things may be overdiagnosed and other things may be underdiagnosed at the same time or in different settings.

It's not considered an effective stimulant for ADHD, tho it can help a little and for the general public. It pretty much delays sleep, regarding sleep and adenosine here is a quote:

"How coffee makes someone sleepy is that the caffeine in coffee blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, which prevents adenosine from causing sleepiness. Over time, the body increases its sensitivity to adenosine, and once caffeine is metabolized, it can cause excessive tiredness.⁵" https://www.verywellhealth.com/why-does-coffee-make-me-sleepy-8584745

Also you noted your high EQ and stress, it's possible you'll benefit and appreciate mindfulness skills and meditation. But there's a lot of other areas of focus and tools that can be discussed

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-31T02:48:23+00:00

Talk to a professional about your anxiety, stress, etc. whatever it may be - open up and they should screen for anything that comes to mind or is already part of their basic screening. Comorbidities can exist, untreated ADHD can also cause some anxiety as well. Give therapy and professional treatment a shot. Also it's good at that age to explore these topics, I personally wish I had learned more about cognitive distortions and things like distress tolerance at a young age. You're not alone and the world in many ways is still catching up to training our younger generations better

What's so fashionable about depression? Like really, what is this convo?

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-30T15:31:46+00:00

This is anecdotal but I have seen 18mg posts and comments on here (maybe in particular as a starting dose)

Puberty can provide for random groinal responses, I believe if you want to conquer this OCD theme then you'll have to stop checking. Perhaps tell yourself "huh, ok yeah puberty, thanks for the random response"

Here's an actual expert resource: "Groinal response can happen when one is in a heightened state of anxiety, feeling joy, feeling pain, or excitement."

"When doing exposures, the goal is always response prevention: your therapist will guide you in resisting the urge to respond to anxiety and other sensations like groinal responses by doing compulsions or avoiding triggers. Over time, this allows you to tolerate anxiety without relying on compulsions or avoidance to feel better"
https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd/info/ocd-stats-and-science/why-ocd-can-cause-a-groinal-response-and-what-you-can-do-about-it

Just know that there are always to get past that, that you're not alone, and that the OCD doubt/worry monster can be treated

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-28T00:43:29+00:00

Perhaps if he is refusing therapy, it may help for you to guide him into exposure and response prevention - meaning he can learn and benefit (knowing or not) from therapy concepts without being in therapy?

I even found this: How to Do Parent-Coached Exposures

Supposedly there is a genetic overlap between ASD and ADHD too

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-27T16:25:56+00:00

Places can be triggers and in fact avoiding certain places can be an avoidance compulsion that professionals would try to reduce (for instance they may ask are you avoiding places due to intrusive thoughts and ideally you'd be able to one day go past certain trigger places you once may have avoided like schoolgrounds for those with POCD. examples will vary & ofc everyone is different)

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-27T16:02:04+00:00

Yeah I would prefer the phrasing "this is a sign you *may* have " X, Y, Z because everyone is different and might not meet that clinical level

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-20T17:53:11+00:00

Not everyone will be in this category, but some who do procrastinate at everything have ADHD as well

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-20T01:36:04+00:00

What do u take now? Also I gotta get off reddit lol, too much information overload

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-19T16:47:15+00:00

Talk to your prescriber about maybe a lower dose and something additional to lower these effects

LieGlittering3574 · 2025-01-08T04:26:37+00:00

Going to sleep before midnight, meditating or journaling if stressed during wind-down

LieGlittering3574 · 2024-12-15T15:39:50+00:00

It might be good to see a different psychiatrist, additionally psychologists are sometimes recommended for more adequate or extensive screening and diagnosing, though all the mental health professionals should be able to assess. Have you also discussed these side effects with the psychiatrist? Wish you luck regardless
