Looking for one really bad for about 5 years.

I am sad.

Cookiezi needs your help to click all the circles in The Big Black. To do this, he needs a Wacom 480 tablet, and a Crazyboard keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches. To help him, all he needs is the 16 numbers of your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. But, you gotta be quick so that Cookiezi can aim the kicksliders properly and achieve the LEGENDARY SS RANK!

Anyone know if CrazyBoard will ever be made/sold again? If anyone has any links from like ebay that would also be appreciated.

If anyone has any information about Crazyboard's or how to buy them, please reply below.

Does anyone knows how to get the crazyboard ? cuz i have been searching and it's all chinese websites and i don't know if the ship world wide.

Is it possible to buy a crazyboard right now through an agent to the U.S.? I have been trying to get one for a long time, and on taobao it is priced at $15,000 USD. What's going on?

I want to start this off by saying, that I, from the get-go, did not believe the story posted by AP. As soon as I read the words posted by Nicole, red flags shot up everywhere. I will add that I did initially believe that her and Jesse had contact at some point, but obviously to what extent was unclear. As I began to research the topic myself I always seemed to be right on par with what the other reddit users were coming up with. All the journals found detailing Nicole’s life, with no mention of Jesse at all made me even more convinced that my stance on this issue was correct. As we know the investigation seized about a week or so after the events because there really did not seem to be anything else that would provide clarity on the subject. For awhile, I took this position as well.
[Edit] Until last month, which was when all the uncertainty came crashing back into my life. I kept on thinking, “There has got to be something I’m missing”. After all, we are aware that Nicole has had numerous journals/blogs. She even makes a remark in her previously shared screenshots of her newer blogs about having numerous journals, which led me to find a profile of hers on Crazyboards.com under the username [edited out username]. This username also was used for a twitter account of hers. The information on both of these holds little value, but a Crazyboards.com comment does mention her making friends with rockstars; if you are interested in seeing it.
These led me to a dead end, so I decided I would try finding a Myspace account. From previous searches I was aware that her Myspace account is private. As I remember being a youth and not having a private account originally, I decided to use the webpage archive site known as the “Waybackmachine” I was fortunate to discover that there was one page of her profile saved from 2009. There was not much on the page at all that helped me, and I immediately became discouraged. After spending some time clicking on all the profiles listed on her top 8, I finally found one friend had another account of hers listed as a top friend. This profile had two saved pages, and one had a link in her bio that took me to her Livejournal blogs.
I discovered quite quickly that she has multiples of these, but after another stretch of time, I located her oldest one that dates back to the beginning of 2003-2006. She goes into quite a bit of detail in her life in this journal, and does mention first meeting Jesse; in late April 2003. At this time she is 16. She also reveals that she approached him and gave him her email address, which further contradicts what she told AP, and Vulture. There was even mention that he hadn’t gotten back to her. She raves about him, in a manner that personifies an obsessed fan in this post, but doesn’t really continue that enthusiasm beyond her first post and one other. She even acknowledges amongst comments in 2004 (If my memory serves me right), that she knows Jesse is a virgin because she read it in an article; this is all after drama ensues in her social circle. Why would she reference an article for this if she knew their relationship was purely for sex?
Before this however, I would also like to add that she mentions a fellow named “Gary”, who is also intermingled in the music scene (worked as somehow in conjuction with ICP). Gary is claimed to be 10 years Nicole’s senior, and is one of the first people she is intimate with. She also acknowledges “hooking up with” Paul, and another person, who I believe was around her age. This all takes place in 2003. Gary apparently was really awful to her, and seems like he used her. Nicole makes many posts that refer to him and his “ugly girlfriend”. She met Gary before Jesse; when she was 15. Nicole makes numerous posts as well about loving sex, and there are instances where others comment on her posts. One even saying she should stop sending pictures of her chest exposed to gents. Nicole mentions Brian [edit - original FB poster] too, and exclaims he called her a “cutie”, which I find questionable to say the least.
She is quite troubled, and shares stories about how her parents commending her for being able to handle drinking Vodka (at 16/7), and her step dad handing her a knife when she threatened to kill herself.
She does bring up Jesse a few times in this, but it is hard to register if it is all fabrication by a crazed teenager with severe mental disturbances, or if there is truth to it. None of it reveals anything. There are none that comment about her sending nudes to him. What I have been able to work out with myself is that I know for one that she embellished what she told media distributors. Her stunt is obviously vendetta based. Granted, Jesse, if he did interact with her when she was underage he would be in the wrong; but we simply do not know all the facts. She could have easily lied about her age, as she saw a negative response from “Gary” when she first revealed her age to him. If she thought her age proved a restriction for her, it is plausible to think that she would do so, and since she is obviously a liar, she is not reliable in anyway. The last bit about falsifying her age is only speculation obviously. -Displaced Anger-
For me these journals serve as the most clarity presented. With her recently posting Brand New lyrics again (04/03/2018), I find it even harder to take anything that she says seriously. Did they “hook up”, I think yes, but I believe this was much later. From the posts she makes in her journals, it almost seems like her group of friends sought out sexual encounters with famous people (and older men), as opposed to her claims of being approached. I honestly find Nicole’s claim to be horrible for real victims of sexual misconduct. She has made a mockery of true crime, in order to gain sympathy and attention. At this point I am not sure if she is bipolar, or a psychopath.
When reviewing these blog posts, I encourage you to read them all, and read the comments. It can get quite boring at times, but it is important to take in the kind of person we are working with here. For me, I was not able to take it all in at first, and waited a day or two after finding/reading it, and then proceeded to read it again. I missed things the first time around because I skimmed, so again, to have the best understanding of it all I say read it thoroughly. Also re-read the AP and Vulture articles (It will help you spot inconsistencies).
If you have your own opinion, that is cool too. I just figured I would share because it may offer clarity for those who need it. If these journals are deleted somehow, I have PDF’s saved of every page with comments included. Thank
[Edit] removed link to LiveJournal account as requested . I will be adding a PDF gallery of the webpage captures. PM if you have questions. This may take me a little while. Thank you.

Ive been looking for alternatives to a keyboard i really wanted.
(Which is the Crazyboard) but ive come to accept that is most likely either super expensive to get it imported to Finland or just completely impossible.
It caught my attention when i saw an Anne Pro.
I did some digging around and found oiut that its a good quality one but not to the level that Ducky or Pok3r are.
Are there any keyboards that can compete with the ultimate elitist quality standart which Ducky has set?
I dont have a budget but the ideal switch im looking for is the Gateron Red, as i said i live in Finland but as long as it can be shipped here its all good.
Id Appreciate the help.

I think the crazyboard is good but it's always oos. What are other good boards on taobao?

http://crazyboard.com.cn/buy.html
I havent been able to find any place that sells it or anything in english about it.
any help i would appreciate.

Lately I have been feeling like I've dipped back into a depressive episode, no big deal, it's happened a lot and I'm used to feeling depressed, it sucks, but it's who I am. Well, I have been feeling especially shitty these past couple weeks and suicidal again, but I've been too lazy or unmotivated to find and get myself to a pdoc or therapist - I only was with a psychologist for a couple months and on Lexapro about a year ago, but have been wanting to get professional help finally again once and for all. Anyways, I have at least gotten myself to try some OTC stuff, I ordered some 5-HTP and a natural "antidepressant alternative" mood elevator, and started taking St Johns Wort starting yesterday. I haven't been thinking St Johns Wort would really help much at all.
Yesterday I took about 500mg of St Johns Wort and felt merely fine, not good or bad, but a numb "fine" emotion that was a lot nicer feeling than depressed. Today I took double the dosage, 1000mg and about half an hour after I started to slightly notice I was feeling a little better actually. Now about an hour after taking it, I have been feeling great, but it was getting unnerving and kind of worrying me. It's kind of dying down a little as I type this, my mind just feels like it's starting to settle down as I focus on typing this all out. I've been full of energy, happy which I never usually am, my thoughts have been racing, I can't focus on one thing, I love every song I'm listening to right now as I play video games and type this, kind of hostile and easily irritable going hand in hand with the high energy now. I was just now thinking about how I felt like I was losing my mind, switching ideas and thoughts so quickly, I was thinking to myself how I have no train of thought, I have strings of thoughts because there's so many of them going off into separate directions so suddenly and they are easily lost or broken like a thin string, there's no single strong identifiable thought like a train would be.
I have knowledge about mood disorders as I spent a lot of my time in the past learning about them, and I know SSRI's and St. Johns Wort (with the same effect as SSRI's to a lesser degree) can trigger mania or hypermania in people with Bipolar I/II. The way I was feeling and still am is really unlike me, it has happened a couple times in the past on its own, I'm almost certain it's hypomania I've been experiencing now, but it may just be a coincidence like yesterday to a lesser degree. So I've spent the better part of this hour or so reading more into symptoms and personal accounts of Bipolar II and hypomania and it seems really similar. Maybe I've actually had Bipolar II instead of my initial diagnosis of recurrent MDD over a year ago, which would make sense because of how often I go in and out of depressive episodes that last about a month or so, but then when they dull down, I don't usually feel energetic or go into hypermanic episodes.
I know this probably isn't the best place to post this, but BPD is what gives me the most problems and I feel like it just is closest to me if that makes sense. I'd love to hear what you think of this, maybe you have some experience with this too.

Here I've compiled several stories of people who used SSRIs and SNRIs and ended up with anhedonia/apathy, emotional blunting/numbness, and/or indifference after using such drugs. Those people didn't suffer from any kind of numbness before starting those antidepressants. In some cases, those side effects can be permanent, or take several years to reverse. Some people have those side effects quickly after starting the meds, others will have it a few months in, others maybe years after being on the med. Some might have it only when withdrawaing from them. Anything is possible with those psych meds. I put the usernames of the people that say they had those side effects and next to it I put the name of the med(s) he/she used + the specific side effect they describe. Some people might have used "numbing" in the sense of anhedonia, others "anhedonia" in the sense of numbing, in my opinion all those are pretty interchangeable because at the end of the day they all consist of feeling less emotions, most concerningly a reduction in positive emotions. You can use CTRL+F to quickly find the username and location of the respective comments. You can read official studies (click on it) that prove that SSRIs aren't effective for anhedonia and can actually cause it.

yeah, apart from rich kids who can afford a ducky and Chinese players with access to crazyboard, a vast majority of players have CM keyboards as opposed to steelseries, hyperX, gigabyte, cougar etc (i.k. corsair and razeer have durability issues). Why?

So here's a kick in the balls...
The mood stabilizer I'm on, Topamax, has this weird side effect that makes all carbonated beverages (seltzer and mineral water included) taste like complete ass! They also taste flat, like little to no fizziness at all. At first, I thought I just kept having shitty luck and getting old bottles at the store. But after some research through Dr. Google, it seems others are having the same issue. On this medication, all carbonated beverages (and other things, too) tend to taste like shit. This includes Pellegrino and club soda which I use as my replacement for beer and alcohol. So now, all I can really drink is water. What the fuck, bipolar?!
Has anyone else run into the issue of not having a satisfying liquid replacement for their drink of choice? I'm really getting sick of plain bottled water. I'm not a juice kind of guy, and really, it's the bubbles that do it for me. Thing that sucks balls is the medications works, and that's hard to find nowadays. So, yeah.... what do you all think about this one. La Croix won't save the day here!
For those interested, it's called "Taste Perversion"

The forum at crazymeds.org used to be The Place for intelligent discussion of the nuts and bolts of psychiatric treatment. It's down- seemingly long term. Has anyone found a decent surrogate? It would be awesome if the community had migrated to reddit, but. . . it hasn't.
I've bounced around the internet: psychcentral, mood garden, psychobabble, crazyboards. . .I opened this nifty alt account to try and take advantage of the various mental health communities reddit has to offer. . . But nothing hits the spot for for pure nerding out with the crazy voices of long-term experience like "crazy meds talk".
Please for the love of god give me a link before I have to reread Nom de Plume's book just for the withdrawals.

Did you experience any loss in the ability to understand or remember what you had read? Does it not "sink" in?
---- Below is my experience, just please answer the above if you don't have time to read ----
In childhood, a psychologist prescribed Aripiprazole (Abilify) to me (age 14) off-label as an adjunct anti-depressant in a group home before I went into foster care (induced ADD, significant loss of ability to read, tardative dyskinesia, sleep paralysis). The onset was rapid. I used to read 2 novels a month. Within weeks of Aripiprazole I was unable to read a page, nothing sank in. I'd "read" a paragraph and have no memory of it beyond the last sentence. I could re-read for hours to get through a page or two, and still not cognizize what had happened in the story. I remember throwing a book in anger accross the room because I couldn't read it anymore, but at that time it wasn't clear to me what the cause was... my thinking, awareness, and cognition were significantly impaired. I was put on that drug for 1.5 years against my protests- the sleep paralysis was terrifying. I know that psychologist got in trouble, I suspect he was put on probation by the medical board. As soon as I saw the next psychologist he tapered me off of Aripiprazole.
I've found testimonies by others on Aripiprazole causing reading ability loss [1][2][3][4]. I've found nothing in literature thus far pinning Aripiprazole to ADD or reading loss. I did find some people who experienced reading loss from either lithium and/or ECT [5].
Here I am, ~12 years after getting off of that drug, and I still have the same impairment in my ability to read, to comprehend other's speach, and tardative dyskinesia (in neck, it used to be shoulders, back, and neck, but frequency and magnitude in shake has reduced significantly over the years). All of these I did not experience prior to the drug. I experienced sleep paralysis for about 3 years after getting off of Aripiprazole. This all leads me to suspect Aripiprazole or some metabolic byproduct still exists in my brain and is somehow being slowly removed with time. I had seen testimony from Aripiprazole treated people (including concerned parents of children) who experienced seizures and tardative dyskinesia which lasted for years after ceasing that drug; in one case the parents stopped after a single dosage due to the resultant seizure, and the seizures persisted.
Given:

• The feeling I get in my neck (upper brainstem) and about an inch laterally to both sides & behind in the ten seconds prior to a compulsive shake (it feels a bit like an high electric charge potential through that volume... electric kind of like the hair on your neck stands on end), the "charge" has built up and releases with the shake,
• Knowledge that lesions in the Pulvinar Nuclei (part of Thalamus, top of the brain stem) can cause late-onset ADD [6]

I strongly suspect the issue I have with Aripiprazole is in this anatomical area.
I did see an interesting theory that a delay of the reactivation of the Thalamus could be a cause of sleep paralysis [7].
I suspect some of the audience here has had Aripiprazole, thus my inquiry on this public forum.

Let me preface this by the following: I am not here to seek medical advice or diagnosis. I am also aware of the fact that most users do not have a medical background, and that all answers are based on personal anectodes and experiences.
I have a question about the nature of OCD that I do not fully understand.
According to wikipedia, the symptoms of "Pure-O OCD" is having negative intrusive thoughts, often of violent, blasphemous or sexual nature.
However, many sources seem to indicate that a large part of the population (studies report between 5-90%) have intrusive thoughts regularly.
See: http://psychcentral.com/news/2014/04/09/study-finds-most-people-have-obsessive-behaviors-or-thoughts/68281.html

http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/60135-of-the-general-population-who-report-intrusive-thoughts-or-impulses/
Does this mean almost everyone has Pure-O OCD? Where do you draw the line?
Does it have to do with your reaction to these thoughts, your anxiety level, the seriousness of the thought (I forgot to turn off the stove vs. I want to murder that man with a knife) or the frequency of intrusive thoughts? Something else?
There seems to be little literature on the subject online, so maybe the OCD-community has some insight.

Questions	Answers
how does that make you feel?	Well, I've always wanted to be a psychiatrist, so, I'm happy with where I'm at.
Your mother must love you very much.	Well, seeing as I'm making more money than anyone else in my family, I'm proud.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!?	You've got Caps-Lock Disorder. I'm afraid there is no cure.
I've looked up articles on sociopaths and came to the conclusion that this is why I've been feeling different from everyone, I fit every criteria and have been telling close friends for years how I feel as I'm constantly acting out my life and little to no of me is genuine. It saddens me to think about how I'll never really be able to be myself or develop any real relationships. Is there any hope? Or anything you know of that could be of use for me to access any feelings at all?	Lets not jump to any conclusions here. I doubt you're Sociopathic. (There is no pfficial diagnosis of psycho/sociopathy, AsPD is the diagnosis). The fact you say you have "close friends" is a. Is an indicator that you don't.
	Are you a teenager?
Have any of your patients been Batman villain crazy?	I have met only 2 psychopaths. One of them was violent.He said how he was going to murder everyone in the hospital, before laughing and patting me on the shoulder. It must have been a joke to him. He kept a picture of a decapitated cat with him at all times, and wrote in this scruffy old notepad. He was surprisingly polite, and seemed very nice. It was not until about a year later I had heard he was in there for the attempted murder of 5 people.
So how do you deal with psychotic and deranged patients? (I apologize in advance, I may keep you here for a while, psychology fascinates me)	We make sure they are not a danger to themselves or anyone else. We may need to restrain them, and sedate them. We keep them away from fellow patients and make sure they are not around any sharp objects (although so etimes they get their hands on them).
Are you allowed to talk about this...?	As long as I don't name names, I would say I'm fine.
Is there a recurring theme throughout some of your "worse" patients?	Well, everybody is different, but all mental disorders share certain characteristics. This means that people may behave similarly, and may experience similar hallucinations, delusions, urges etc. However, I believe each patient needs to be handled differently.
How taxing is your job? Apologies for the continual Batman references, but is it plausible that someone who deals with mentally unstable people day to day would become obsessive and go all Harley Quinn? (falling in love optional)	I am certainly very tired sometimes, especially if it's a busy day.
	And, no, I doubt it. Unless that person has a mental illness in the first place.
I read that you got into psychology learning about your own anxiety, do you ever try to relate to your patients, or is it better not to bring yourself into those situations?	It's better not to. Each person is different, and something you do might not work for them.
How do you feel about pharmaceutical companies? They seem pretty awful to me. Constantly changing the recipe for Prozac when the patent runs out for example. Do you get pressure from companies to start prescribing a new medication?	I am personally against giving medication before other treatments have been tried. I only prescribe medication if A) The person needs it urgently or B) All other treatments have failed, or are taking longer than usual.
Interesting. What are some of the things you have heard?	I have met a man who had very severe Schizophrenia. He was kept full time in an asylum. I watched his mental state slowly deteriorate before he died. It was quite horrible. I heard him talking about how his feet were alive and how he attempted to cut them off with a plastic knife. He thought I had his old dog, that had died years ago. He begged me to give it back. It was horrible.
Do you ever overanalyze things/yourself psychologically?	I believe that with more knowledge of psychology, comes a greater understanding of yourself, and it actually lessens the fear of "going insane". The more I learnt, the more I realised that my "hallucinations" we're completely normal and that my behaviour that I once thought was "crazy" was actually quite common (talking to Myself).
What are your thoughts on EMDR?	It works for some people, and not for others. It is probably one of the best treatments for PTSD, though.
I tried it and it worsened my nightmares and made me really anxious.	It is quite a hit and miss treatment.
I have been battling depression and anxiety for years and I suspect it may be linked to my blood sugar levels as I often find my levels too low. I don't have diabetes but have been told I probably have hypoglycemia, which is a symptom due to a terrible diet because I am addicted to sugar. In your expert opinion, which is causing whch? Is the depression/anxiety causing the addiction to sugar or is it the other way around?	Even if you did change your diet, (which you really should by the way, I know how hard the add option can be) you anxiety and depression, while they may be better, would still be there.
Can you please explain why you think the depression and anxiety would still be there if it is mainly attributed to blood-glucose levels? Having said that, what treatment options would you recommend?	I believe it would still be there as it can only be caused by blood-glucose levels. There is always an underlying problem. I say this from experience. I would recommend you see a therapist at least once a week. Over the Internet it's hard to give you much advice. You could try Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, too. Also, if you would prefer, there are also alternative treatments, such as hypnosis and Lucid Dreaming.
FFS, you're not a fucking doctor, don't answer people's medical questions online. That's totally unethical. You could have easily avoided this while still faking being a psychiatrist.	I am a psychiatrist, my friend.
Are psychiatrists prescribing ketamine yet, for patients who are unresponsive to traditional AD's ?	I'm against medication unless its absolutely necessary. Ibogaine is especially good at helping those with an addiction to opioids. Some research shows it can help those with other addictions, although I'm a little bit skeptical when it comes to drugs that supposedly "cure" addiction.
What are your thoughts on Ibogaine, as an addiction interruptor ?	Ketamine isn't prescribed because, like marijuana, it is thought of as a "bad" drug by doctors.
A)What do you think of communities like crazymeds or crazyboards and there are several others, where people try to support each other and inform each other about medication?	I believe online support forums are a good idea, but telling people what meds to take is definitely not, unless you are qualified to do so.
B)how much is known about the mechanism behind bipolar disorder? C)Do you work after the DSM definitions and do you have any thoughts about the new edition?	Yes, I do. The new DSM comes in a time when many mental disorders, especially depression, are understood much better.
Yes, but the 'depressive disorders' section of the DSM 5 has changed very little from the DSM-IV-TR. Yes, there are two new disorders, but the existing diagnoses have undergone very little change.	Well, the diagnosis of depression has dropped "bereavement exclusion" which I think was a great move. DMDD and PMDD show how our knowledge of depression has changed. PMDD was moved fro the appendix of the DSM-IV-TR.
	I'm also glad that "Mental Retardation" has been changed to "Intellectual developmental disorder". The dropping of Aspergers Syndrome as a distinct classification was a good idea, also.
To what extent is it true that many people dealing with other peoples' mental issues (psychologists, psychiatrist, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, etc.) themselves have some mental issues?	I have anxiety, so, I do have a mental issue, but I don't believe many psychologists do have a mental issue. It's like saying all Nurses have health issues because they're nurses. It's not logical.
No one needs to be hospitalised for a few hallucinations. I feel this happens in the UK and is unethical.	I know, everyone has hallucinations. It's perfectly normal. I often hallucinate a man walking past my door, and when I look, there's no one there. Does that make me crazy? No, that makes me completely normal.
There's a pretty wide space between 'crazy' and 'completely normal'. Seeing people walk past your door is unusual, I'd say, but if it's not a problem then don't turn it in to one!	I mean, I'm sure we also all have a little conversation with ourselves now and agin. Perfectly normal. The misinformation surrounding mental health is huge.
Serious question: If a man tells a psychiatrist that he is a "visionary" and he has visions of specific future events, does it automatically mean he is mad, or is it possible that he really is a visionary ?	He is most probably delusional.
When a police department says they are not confirming or denying something it usually means they are trying to cover something up.	We get plenty of people claiming to be visionaries. All of the one's I've met we're delusional.
Hi, I'm a pysch patient from the UK. The US system is pretty different, but I've still got some questions. What do you think about electroconvlusive therapy? More a general doctor question, but do you ever have to do things as part of your job that feel unethical?	I can feel bad about something I'm doing. Especially if the patient is confused. For example, sometimes they wake up and think you're going to execute them, or torture them. They may think you're a devil, or that they're a prisoner of war (especially the patients from wars). I often treat patients who think eye been kidnapped, they say, "I'm going to call the cops on you, you're gonna be in the chair!"
Electro inclusive? Lol wtf. I didn't think you'd hurt patients. Definitely leaning towards thinking you're not a real psychiatrist now.	IPad, autocorrect. We don't hurt the patients.
I am not aware if you have ever seen one of my favorite movies " One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest " with Jack Nicholson. Movie was made depicting the conditions of the mental institutions in US during 1975 Era and how certain mental illnesses were treated. Do you think that in 2013 we became the "pill poppers " even though our mental illness could be cured with a less pharmaceutical method?	I don't believe so, no. I do think, however, pharmaceutical companies are putting a lot of pressure on psychiatrists to prescribe medication.
Not currently. I have in the past with very limited success.	How long did you have therapy?
Do you feel like your job is over glorified and people paid much less than you actually have more impact on your clients and families?	Sometimes I feel great about my job, sometimes I feel it's over glorified. Depends on the day sand what's happened.
How common is it to have long periods between manic episodes in bipolar disorder? I ask because went 4.5 years between mine without medication, and was told they increase in severity and occurrence the longer it goes untreated. Is that true, in your experience?	Normally, yes. However, each person is very different, and mental disorders affect each person differently.
I just got a bachelors degree in psychology, what kinds of jobs would you recommend looking for in or related to the field that don't require further education?	You could become a school psychologist. It's a very rewarding job (I worked in a school before I got my Medical Degree). You could become a social worker, or a counsellor. There are plenty of other opportunities, you just have to know where to look.
What is the difference between a Psychiatrist and a psychologist?	A psychiatrist has a degree in medicine and a psychologist has a doctoral-level degree in psychology.
The style of those diplomas is horrible. how have you seen PAs work in the psychiatry specialty?	They have no idea what they're talking about, sometimes.
How long does Trichotillomania last and can it recur? It was adolescent.	It can last for a while. 2 - 10 years is average. It doesn't normally recur.
What's the strangest mental disorder you have encountered in your practice?	That would have to be severe schozophrenia, Multiple Personality Disorder or AsPD (Psychopathy).
Unless you practice outside of North America (which you might!), you should know that 'Multiple Personality Disorder' is not the name of the diagnosis.	I do. It's the same as calling AsPD and Narcissism Psychopathy. It's not the official name, but it's what is used.
Well I have never heard it used in a professional setting considering 'Multiple Personality Disorder' has a very different etiological implication than does Dissociative Identity Disorder.	I, personally, prefer the term MPD. In professional settings of course I use DID, and I diagnose people with DID. It's like how some people still cal Bipolar "Manic Depressive Disorder". I work with a few people who do. It's a combination of habit and personal preference.
So ... shouldn't this be an AMAA? Since there's a lot of stuff you really couldn't answer...	It should be, yeah. If I get. Question I can't answer, I won't answer it. Simple.
What's your view on DBT and CBT?	DBT is effective for BPD. CBT is a very good form of therapy, and focuses on cognitive processes.
Do you watch Dr. Katz? If so, who would you say your patients most often resemble? I'd say Dom Irrera.	I do not.
Yadayada...you're still NOT a psychiatrist.	Well, since this is an AMA and that is not a question, I will stop responding to you.
