Are there any mental health professionals here with direct experience with Bilateral cingulotomy.?
my mother has been hospitalized many times, not suicidal or homicidal. thinks bad things will happen when it appears not. this all stems from a traumatic accident that happened to me over 2 years ago that i have recovered from. the psychiatric drugs don't work, therapy has been useless and condescending and even religious officials have been useless as well. is there another avenue. prayer didn't work and i know i will hear keep trying, sorry, do you pray for your car to get repaired. is there a true way to cure this type of depression anxiety, self mutilation incessant skin picking til it bleeds , overeating and complete carelessness for life she has. she has chased off all of her family and friends with repetitive phone calls. it cant be classified as typical d a bc you can have normal conversations with her. it is when she is alone, her thoughts repeat. i know we like to categorize, but there is no category here. the cingulotomy, a psycho surgery can be used for treatment resistant forms of depression... does it in fact work in actual settings.....????on the religion angle, name your choice of religion and if there is a holy person or site that one can visit, pay tribute and receive the blessing of improved health, i am all ears,,,, thank youthank you for the responses. i have seen ECT make some kind of improvement in others. i have been told it restarts the brain. all the drugs basically i think except lithium, prozac and zoloft. do you read the side effects.? they all basically make you gain weight and can cause more serious emotional problems, kidney and liver failure. how does that decrease depression.? the CBT idea is great, however the " feeling good" book has sat around collecting dust.. how do you help someone that does not want to help themselves? it is not motivation or laziness, but rather an acceptance that a shift has occured and things can never be as they were and i cant live any other way. i dont know what to do. psychiatrists and therapists only have their own self interests in mind. let's go to the textbooks for this case or that. this is so multi layered it is ridiculous. also add the middle aged, her 2 kids moved out in the " not the way i thought i would see it way" and they wont talk. thank u

How might support from family, friends, and mental health professionals...?
How might support from family, friends, and mental health professionals help an individual cope with stress, depression, and anxiety? What strategies might each of these groups offer to help prevent suicides?
Why are mental health professionals so dense when it comes to removing stigma?
All the money they are spending on research into stigma is ridiculous. This goes to show that an advanced education does not imply intelligence.Maybe they can get rid of the stigma by not calling it " mental" illness? If someone says they are going to the doctor because of athletes foot do they say they have a " foot" illness? No they do not. Is there something I am not aware of or is it really this simple?Not a rant. I am just perplexed.
Counselors, mental health professionals, really anyone who thinks they can help. please?
I don't know what wrong with my brain. I've done drugs yes. People who are opposed, shut up about it this started before then. I don't donw. I can't tell. Peodle think I'm normal, I don't know how they mistake me for that way. I can't tell where i am sometimes, I don't know if the people who come to my house actually came to my house. I get panic attacks in big cities. Thats all i know is wrong with me. I don't like this. Not one bit. I'm afraid to tell stories, i don't know if they happened or not. If i find they didn't actually were what they are. I am confused because they are plausible. Small things. Putting a book down and then i never did. having people at my house. telephone conversations. i thought i moved once. I don't know what wrong. I just proofread and i can't find more of the spelling problems. I freak out sometimes about scary things if they happen, but i was told those are panic attacks from anxiety. I have to go to school tomorrow. I have a lot due. Tell me what's wrong. I don't need a doctor, they didn't help last time. They just tried to give me medications. For depression, axiety, and an extra called klonopin to sleep. The don't work. Help me.in hard classes. IB program. I don't sleep very much, but this happened and happens before too. Really bad right now. I want to feel real. Just getting over theflu.
Is this normal conduct for counselors, or mental health professionals?
Hello,I am currently seeing a counselor, and I have seen her for the last couple months. I saw another counselor prior to my current counselor, whom I ve seen off and on for about 4 months. Even though both counselors are nice people, there are some things they both did that seemed odd to me. So, I want to check and see what any of you think about this.First, I ll tell about why I got counseling. There have been some real difficult people in my life, including my husband, who have gotten me real down to the point of depression and insomnia. So, I went to my regular doctor about this, and she prescribed me some anti depressants. I tried a few different medications but all of them gave me terrible side effects. My doctor decided I wasn t going anywhere with meds, so she suggested that I get counseling to help me learn skills in dealing with the difficult people in my life.My doctor sent me to my previous counselor, who is an older female. Here s some things she did. She gave me this real cool polished stone, but she told me to hold and feel the stone when things get tough and to talk to the stone. In sessions, this counselor would draw circles and waves whenever I d talk about some of the difficult people. She said her drawings help her come up with explanations for these people s actions. Then this counselor s judgment of this one guy seemed strange. This guy is a neighbor, and whenever I see him, he talks to me non stop. So, I told this counselor about him and asked her for advice on how to deal with him. Based on the fact that this guy moved back home to take care of his aging parents after he and his long time girlfriend broke up, this counselor said she thought this guy is gay. She also thought he is gay because she thinks he considers me, being a married woman, as a safe person to talk to. I told the counselor that this guy is single and he tells me he wants to date women. Plus, I told her that he talks a lot to anybody who runs into him. Still, she was convinced this guy is gay. After that session, this counselor stopped responding to my phone calls whenever I d call to make an appointment.My current counselor works part time as a counselor and part time for something else. Last month, she gave me two week s notice that she wanted to consolidate her counseling schedule to all days on Tuesdays and Sundays. I picked Tuesdays to see her, because I m busy on Sundays with people, as weekends are their free days. Two weeks after my counselor told me of her schedule change, she suddenly decided that she would be available for counseling only on Sundays. She was practically whining about how she needed to set boundaries with her schedule because her work load was too much. I thought it was odd for a counselor to be available only on a week end day, and it is inconvenient for me. I m trying to make this work, though. What really doesn't seem right about my counselor is she keeps trying to get me to take anti depressants despite that I told her about my situation with meds. She did give me sound advice about some difficult people in my life, but I asked her if I could bring my husband in with me to see her. She said she will see my husband and me if, and only if, I first try antidepressants again. I told her my purpose of seeking counseling is to learn how to handle problem people, not taking anti depressants. Since then, she listens to my problems about my husband, but she doesn t seem to want to give any suggestions on how to deal with him. My counselor still makes a point to remind me to try medication. Also, at least once during our sessions, my counselor would glance at her cell phone, and once she even took a phone call for a couple minutes.So, is any of this not a big deal or could these signs be considered as red flags? Thanks for your time in reading this, and your responses will be appreciated.Thank you all very much for your great answers I have found sound advice in every response. After reading your answers, now I feel more inclined to find somebody else. I'll definitely keep all of your advice in mind when I'm searching for another counselor. Since all of you gave really good advice, I am having a hard time deciding on the best answer. So I'm going to put this question up for everyone else to vote.Thank you all very much for your great answers I have found sound advice in every response.

I have a question for you mental health professionals...?
have learned from sources that psychosis is caused by massive amounts of stress, but could it be that when mixed up with religious belief could bring out another episode of psychosis for me?I have had trouble with psychosis in the past. It was mixed up with some unorthodox Christian beliefs which turned unhealthy on me. I had some hallucinations, paranoia, and of course delusions. The doctor in the hospital labled me as hyper religious. I'm wondering to me myself That was back in high school which would be about 4 years ago, but I'm concerned that if I remain religious will that determine the outcome for me in the future with psychosis? Will I have another case of the illness because I start trusting and intrepretating the Bible again? That is my question? If I stop being religious, can I avoid another cased of this illness when I become overly stressed?11 minutes ago 4 days left to answer. Additional DetailsI'm on medication.
How do mental health professionals know when a sociopath is lying?
We hear about mental heath professionals interviewing sociopaths and serial killers to get an insight to them individually and as a group. These people make their way through life lying so they are good at it. How do the professionals know that the story of the traumatic childhood is true? I could tell anyone that my dad beat me, my mother neglected me, and my grandpa molested me, and any other horror I could dream up, but that doesn't make it true. Maybe all these theories about these people are based on lies.
Why do I do this (I need advice from mental health professionals)?
Maybe it s because I ve lived a very sheltered life but I m highly curious about people and what makes them act the way they do. Whenever I hear about someone doing something odd, interesting, or self destructive, I become extremely curious as to way they would do something like that. I try as hard as I can to get into their heads and I find that sometimes I start doing the same things they do in order to see if I can get a better understanding. That has led me into situations I d never normally find myself in, such as an addiction to alcohol and near fatal incidents. Lately, the person that seems to be of great interest to me is Michael Jackson. I m don t understand how or why anyone would get addicted to prescription drugs. Lately, I ve noticed that I m taking quite a lot of prescription drugs and I can only chalk it up to my curiosity of prescription drugs addiction. What is wrong with me? Why do I allow my curiosity to lead me down self destructive paths?Gummi Thanks You did help. I thought I was the only one who did these things
Can a "normal" or "sane" person fake having dissociative fugue and fool mental health professionals?
I can't look at sharp edges, corners and pointy things should I see a mental health professional?
Please don't laugh as this is not a joke For the last decade or so I have this horrible feeling come over me when I see sharp edges. I can't look at them and have to look in a different direction or cover my eyes. The feeling I get is hard to explain and is very uncomfortable. It has gotten worse as I get older and is very embarrassing. When I'm in clothing stores the hooks that clothes hang on almost make me go crazy. I have to look down and leave immediately.What is happening to me? I feel like I'm going crazy
How can a mental health professional help me when...?
I think it is fairly safe to say that most of the mental health PROFESSIONALS are expected to have a normal, healthy functioning mind and is one of the reasons why they are capable for that position. So WHY would we go see them when they have no personal experience with a mental disorder like depression, anxiety, ocd? If you think about it, it really doesn't make sense to go see somebody who " knows so much" about what your going through. The information that THEY have for US has really come from US in the first place We were the one's with the illnesses and they are the ones that just get the information from what we have described to them
