Insane In The Brain !

So for the 1st time I found out that bipolars are treated in psychiatry hospitals. For those who arent medically oriented bibolar disorder means you are cycling between two states between depression and over excitation one moment ur happy and hyper the next ur sad and depressed sometimes both at the same time. Now I dont know why it classifies as a psychiatry disorder 'coz that just describes me when am watching a football game especially if its the Saudi national team (oh snap !!! ).



Psychiatry is a major topic I honestly dont know where to start but studying it has made me wonder what defines sanity.The dictionary defines sanity as the state of being sane; soundness of mind. Obviously the definition is too open for interpretation I mean whos to say that every one isn't sane in his own little way that helps him get through the day in this not so sane world.

I mean haven't you ever eaten your skittles by a color order ? haven't u ever cursed your computer for freezing up then apologized for it ? havent you ever talked to yourself then realized that people can hear you ? you can deny it all you want but eventually everyone has his corky little habbits that he thinks no one else does but you'd be surprised and with all that mentioned what makes a difference between you and someone whos locked in the loony bin. Yea perhaps because you hide it so well or perhaps because u know that if you dont keep you corkyness on a leash people will actually start to think you are lets not say crazy but lets say eccentric ,,,

So is it a bad thing to be a little eccentric ? After all some of the most revered figures in history were notorious eccentrics of the top of my head Albert Einstein. well no its not a bad thing Dr. David Weeks a neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital states eccentrics are less prone to mental illness than everyone else. (because eccentrics are not crazy). According to studies, there some distinctive characteristics that differentiate a healthy eccentric person from a regular person or someone who has a mental illness (although some may not always apply) :
 
  • Nonconforming attitude
  • Idealistic
  • Intense curiosity
  • Happy obsession with a hobby or hobbies
  • Knew very early in his or her childhood they were different from others
  • Highly intelligent
  • Opinionated and outspoken
  • Unusual living or eating habits
  • Not interested in the opinions or company of others
  • Mischievous sense of humor
  • Usually the eldest, or an only child

So at the end just embrace your weirdness and don't let the others get to you because you are a special person (as your mom been telling you all along zingggg!!!! am sorry i couldnt resist).


Even After All

  • Q: How many bipolar's does it take to screw a light bulb?
    A: Depends on what mood they're in.
  • Insanity : doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
  • If you talk to God you are praying, If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.
