I worked as a CA Mental Health Patients’ Rights Advocate, and one day, a client got upset by things the voices were telling her. I was standing in the nurses’ station when I felt an apple go whizzing past my cheek and burst against a cabinet.
So dr handle, I can say it is rather upsetting when a psychotic person throws fruit. ; )

If the fruit flies and hits you that might hurt. Then you might need legal tinder for the medical services.

Agreed. I’ll admit to writing in a more colloquial and spoken style on sites like this than I would on a technical site, but I don’t normally use txtspk!!

That’s where psychologists’ notes are far superior to most doctors’. Their diagnoses may be full of sh!t (and often are), but at least you (usually) know what they are!

Spelling, too, seems to be a dying art, to say nothing of grammar! There are some serious disadvantages in being a dinosaur, but I still think it preferable to the alternative.

No, the Myers-Briggs is not that long. The MMPI, the most commonly used inventory of psychopathology, has 567 questions and is an ordeal to take. The full Myers-Briggs has, if I’m not mistaken, only 163 questions, and it really will tell you more about most people’s personality and temperament than an MMPI will. But if you’re looking for illness, the MMPI is a little more useful (although very easy to misinterpret). But my favorite is still the Rorschach, since any person with reasonable intelligence can figure out what the questions on the MMPI are designed to pick up, but only a person who understands the scoring of the Rorschach VERY well would be able to fake it, and even then it would take a lot of effort. But it is a major pain to score correctly. In cases where the person has a strong motivation to fake (say, for example, in murder trials), I insist on a good projective like the Rorschach. But projective testing, alas, seems to be a dying art…

Well, dinosaur that I am, I first learned the DSM-II. It had a lot more resources for those trying to come up with vague and unspecified diagnoses. A favorite that I mourn the loss of was “mental disorder not otherwise specified,” which came in psychotic and non-psychotic varieties. Just perfect for the person who is just plain nuts! Another favorite of mine was “inadequate personality disorder,” oh-so-fitting for the person who is just not all there. And of course we should never forget “simple schizophrenia,” which, believe it or not, might actually make it back into the DSM-V, if it ever actually comes out!

Yep!
I knew Jennifer was a common name, but what’s so UNcommon is your spelling and grammar skills and the lack of txtspk… Perhaps I’ve been spending too much time on the internet; that’s got to be a bad sign, when you think, “Hey, this person knows how to spell, there’s only one person it could be!” (c:

Oh, if only the docs were that descriptive!

More often than not, we end up with ‘unspecified’ codes because the docs don’t give very detailed notes.

I don’t know. I order mine from the publisher, and have to offer some sort of proof that I am an actual mental health professional. (If they gave it out to everybody, they could all cheat and put down all the right answers!)

One of the simple screening tests for dementia is to ask someone to remember three common words for five minutes while you talk about other things. People will often miss a word and get all freaked out. I tell them, the ones who really have dementia are the ones who say, “You didn’t ask me to remember anything.”
