and the millions and millions of so called experts...
i consider the self
as at the top
but you must begin with the foundation

AND quit the filthy flesh
no reason to butcher and eat

that's why i thought it best she elaborate a little before offering any kind of 'fix'.. after all, she really has said very little..

pp: end up having people diagnose the illness with little or NO medical training.

My speech tends to rambling,loose,mildly tangential,and a little disorganized. I also tend to speak rapidly. That type of speech is called cluttering too,and its found to be common in people with neuro-divergent conditions like Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Those speech irregularities that got me to be misdiagnosed as schizoffective bipolar disorder by psychiatrists. As a neuro-diversity advocate, I try to help raise awareness about speech problems and how they are not connected to low intelligence and that they can be connected to neuro-divergence and that care needs to be taken to not misdiagnose them as having schizophrenia or bipolar. My mother told me that my father had the same speech problems.



I feel that psychiatrists and other mental health professionals need to consider learning disabilities when patients have mental health problems. I have a long history of anxiety and depression,and not one single mental health professional even considered that I had learning disabilities. I believe that there should be screening for learning disabilities in people with mental health problems...especially if they have a history of low self esteem, insecurity,hypersensitivity to criticism that includes feelings of intellectual inadequacy.

Psychiatrists really need to have their patients tested
psychologically and neurologically in order to differentiate learning disabilities from psychiatric disorders. Poor coordination,left/right confusion,memory issues,disorganization,and speech irregularities are not just symptoms of psychotic disorders but they are also symptoms of learning
disabilities. It was these issues that got me misdiagnosed as a schizoaffective bipolar in 1999. They never did any psychological testing nor neurological testing.

Aspergers is listed as one of the conditions misdiagnosed Bipolar in the book,THE BIPOLAR CHILD by The Definitive and Reassuring Guide to
Childhood's Most Misunderstood Disorder by Demitri Papolos M.D.,Janice Papolos, Janice Papolos,Janice Papolos. I actually copied the characteristics of Bipolar children and gave alternative explanations that could be linked to neurodivergent conditions. One of the common characteristics of bipolar children listed in the book was learning disabilities which pretty much supports my belief that a lot of learning disabled are getting diagnosed as having bipolar. One of the very common characteristics of bipolar are oversensitivity to environmental influences,and learning disabled people are highly sensitive. How many learning disabled children act out,misbehave,throw temper tantrums,lash out,pout,and/or cry because they are frustrated,stressed,angry,irritable,and overwhelmed from problems with processing information that leads to being misunderstood,teased,ridiculed,and criticized. A whole lot. I definitely was no different. Where is the common sense in regards to learning disabled children having secondary psychological symptoms? It just seems like there is very little of it. Learning disabled children grow up to be learning disabled adults,and many of them have secondary psychological problems. I definitely was no different. There is definitely a significant overlap between learning disabilities and mental health problems.

AND ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATIONS by me Not all of the symptoms have
alternative explanations Just the ones that I feel can be explained
as challenging life experiences as a learning disabled person

Please keep in mind that these people aren't necessarily Bipolar.
They could be misdiagnosed. I feel that anybody can be misdiagnosed Bipolar because Psychiatry is not an infallible science. If you act,feel, look, believe, think and/or talk in a way that differs from the norm, there is a possibility that you will be diagnosed as mentally ill. People with ADHD have been misdiagnosed Bipolar, and so it is not surprising that Dyslexia and Dyspraxia can be misdiagnosed Bipolar because they often have comorbidity with ADHD/ADD.

and patience
