Possibly Triggering - Possible Book Idea

[Kvieta Vindi]

As I was talking to my friend about a book that he is writing, an idea came to me. Books have probably been written about this before, but I don't care about that at the moment. I would like you to state your opinion on this, and possibly help me out.

Basically, it's going to be about mental disorders.
Non Fiction.

Umm,.. How possibly several mental disorders could relate, such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia,.. How perhaps the treatment with pills isn't going to make a difference medically, but just if you think you're being treated, it treats you,..

Is this making any sense?
If it is, would you be kind enough to perhaps list all the disorders you suffer from, so that I could have a better idea of how they could perhaps relate?

Sorry if this is asking too much,.. Thanks.

it kind of makes sense :P


I can kind of tell you how mine relate... I have PTSD from SA and stuff... I'm also officially down as having an anxiety disorder, I guess it's fairly obvious how they relate lol. The SA also left me with some chronic fear of being "dirty" or "contaminated" and this has developed into a form of othorexia.



good lucks :)

One bit of research to look at is those that consider schizophrenia to be two seperate disorders, namely bipolar disorder and autistic spectrum disorder combined.

Also interview people whose diagnoses have changed over the years. I have found that if a psychiatrist has an interest in one particular kind of disorder, they are more likely to use it as a diagnosis and that there are also regional variations.
