Somehow my reply got embedded into the quote above. Here's what I meant to post as stand alone:
They just say he was diagnosed with OCD. Based on what he's said, and what's been said about him, however, it wouldn't surprise me if he has both OCPD and OCD... he definitely sounds as if he meets the criteria for OCPD, and his germ-aversion and rituals with cleaning make it sounds as if he struggles with the anxiety component, as well. Being married to someone with OCPD is very, very difficult. It doesn't matter how much you do, you will never do enough and it will never be good enough. I actually feel compassion for both P and N - because P might not realize that his traits alienate him from others, and for N, because I do think she truly loved him and wanted to make it work, but just couldn't. This, of course, is using only the details that they each have shared with the public over the past several years. In any case, I do believe both are devoted parents, and I don't believe either of them took the decision to end their marriage lightly. Divorce brings out the darker sides of most people - so P isn't necessarily an abusive monster or a super-nice guy; he's likely a pretty nice guy who becomes a controlling ass when stressed. And N is likely a nice girl who enjoys having some extra money to spend (I mean, seriously, who wouldn't?), who becomes kind of whiney and bitchy when she's stressed. From my experience, most people aren't all good or all bad. They're a combination of both and, under stress, often their darker sides are unveiled. We all have multi-faceted parts to our personality... |
You absolutely CAN diagnose ADHD in adults. It likely is something that an adult has had since childhood that went undiagnosed, but it can be diagnosed in adulthood. |
And now you've become a jerk that likes to pick a fight. Typically people with ocd and manic depression issues are labeled as manic ocd. Go ahead now and pick apart the rest of my post you ass. Thanks for the personal attack though reminds me that ignorance is alive and well. Btw the names Eric, clinically diagnosed with ocd for the past 20 years. Medication helps but it takes much more than just medication. Often manic depression and or extreme panic anxiety attacks can hit at a moments notice which are paralyzingly and as manic as you can possibly imagine. Now that I've defended myself. what's your name Dr. ?? |
You explained this much better than I ever could. Respect -Eric |
Oh I completely agree, that's why I said I wouldn't be surprised he he was also a perfectionist (OCDPD)

Lol... I actually am a licensed mental health professional, and have worked with the seriously mentally ill population for over 15 years and Bipolar and OCD are two very separate diagnoses. Not sure how clarifying a true diagnosis for the masses is picking a fight, but name-calling ("you ass") certainly is, Eric. Further, panic attacks are not a symptom of mania - they're a symptom of extreme anxiety. I'm sorry you struggle with mental health issues, but it would serve you well to educate yourself more on your diagnoses and symptoms. |
That's strange... When we were studying for our board exams we were told it has to be diagnosed before a certain age otherwise it can't be medicated...maybe that has changed since ? |
Right bc a licensed health professionals first response is to criticize someone's opinion on a post. And I'm actually a radio DJ. Play it however you want Doc. You still an ass. Ignorance |
Not that I am supporting him but I kind of see his point he just said you labeled it wrong, which is true. What it necessary? No of course not but neither are half the replies in this thread. Did you overreact ? Yea a bit imo...did anyone win? Nope... |
The ONLY thing that I wrote was that there is no such thing as manic OCD. That's not criticizing an opinion, it's stating a fact... OCD and Bipolar may have a high co-morbidity, but they are not the same disease. I'm not going to argue with you any further, because clearly you are over-sensitive to (miss)perceived criticism. And if you think that a random anonymous poster named Eric on DCUM calling me an ignorant ass in any way invalidates me or invalidates the license I have hanging on my wall, then that is kind of funny. |

No of course not but neither are half the replies in this thread. Did you overreact ? Yea a bit imo...did anyone win? Nope... Just to clarify - I actually do think I have a responsibility to get correct information out there. Mental Illness is very stigmatized, and often it is because of misinformation fed into the media (for example - when the media reported that the German pilot who crashed the plan did it because he was suffering from a psychosomatic illness... psychosomatic illnesses do not cause their sufferers to crash and murder a plane full of innocent victims! Psychosomatic illnesses cause their sufferers to go to their doctor A LOT with complaints of somatic symptoms that seem to have no physiological cause). I think misinformation that is constantly out there about mental health is dangerous and just increases the stigma. So, yes, I DO try to pipe up and say something when I see misinformation about mental health out there in any kind of forum. |
It's over, your the one with the license on the wall and I'm the uneducated guy trying to discuss popular topic. I'll be sure to get the license before I discuss with the educated folk in the future. Moving on otherwise I'll obsessively research medical journals all night for my rebuttal. Lol |
| I thought the German wings crash (anyone else think German wings is a dumb name ahah) was because he had severe depression and was recently dumped by his girlfriend? |
| What German wings crash? |
