Go to a doctor and get a diagnosis stating that your disorder is caused by the chemicals.

a person can't control his/her actions because when someone is extremely angry or anxious signals from the lymbic system(area which controls emotions) can't reach the prefrontal lobes (front portions of the brain which control memory/emotions) that's one reason why when someone is angry "they can't think straight" because there's too much neural static which interferes with normal brain functioning, because of this they can't control their actions

I don't think it can be categorized as a medical disorder, but it is a definite reality because yesterday when I hit my YA toolbar, the screen came up saying "user suspended" and was talking to myself (another disorder) saying "what did I do?" "what could I have said?" "OMG what am I gonna do without YA?", etc.  Maybe the Yahoo Answer Addiction Disorder is worse than the Suspension Anxiety Disorder.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not...\n\nOrganic Personality Syndrome or Organic Mental Syndrome is a mental disorder characterized by a short-term or long-term personality disturbance largely due to brain dysfunction. The ability to reason, remember, imagine, and learn may not be affected, but the individual's judgement may be so poor that continual supervision may be necessary. Left unattended, he or she may behave in ways that could cause difficult or dangerous problems

Actually that sounds like it could be aphasia (if you are able to prounounce sounds correctly).\n\nAphasia is a broad category of disorders, but one type is where your words come out all wrong and you get "toung tied".\n\nTreatment depends on what caused it. Sometimes people have had head injuries, and their treatment can differ than someone with out a brain injury.\n\n... so you might want to look into it more.\nHope this helps!

DIssociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder is very hard to diagnose.  \nSome signs of it might be if the person in question "loses time".  Or finds new items such as clothing in their home that they can't remember buying.  \nChanges in handwriting or voice.  \n\nDissociation can range from very mild (such as driving somewhere as if you're on autopilot... you're there, but don't really remember driving)... to severe where there is a core identity and one or more alters.  Because the degree of dissociation can vary so much, it is very hard to say for sure if someone has a full-blown case of DID or a milder transient dissociative disorder.

Actually it sounds like schizophrenia. They should trying doing a civil committment. All they need to do is contact the county mental health department and tell them what is going on. They can lock him up and do an evaluation, then they would go before a judge. If the judge finds that the person is a danger to himself or others they can force him to recieve treatment and he won't be able to check himself out.

There are many disorders in which a person acts the opposite if who he/she really is. It could be bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or some forms of major depression. I'd recommend researching the different mental health disorders and comparing symptoms to see if any more accurately describe what you want to know.

Hi I also suffer from NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).\n\nIt took me a very long time to get to know that something is wrong with me (and not e.g. with the others). I was constantly searching all over English and Czech speaking internet (I'm from the Czech Republic) and I was searching in all possible psychological and psychotherapeutic books.\n\nThe best I have found so far were books from James F. Masterson, a New York City researcher, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I have visited him also personally on 60 Sutton Place South, Manhattan, NYC, but I hadn't enough money to afford therapy by him, his affiliates or his followers. He is head of www.mastersoninstitute.org\n\nLuckily he publishes his therapeutic approach and it was helpful for me even without a therapist. I'm still going back to his books and still finding something new (within me). You can have a look at the content of his books at www.amazon.com, search for James F Masterson in books section.\n\nMedication is of no use, except you develop a depression or some psychosis, it will help you get back into life (and into NPD again).\n\nHope this might help you.\n  Martin D

This is a symptom of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.  Have this person visit a doctor, go with him/her and explain to the doc what is happening.  It's psychological...like having to "line up" all the canned vegetables according to size and alphabetize them...my brother in law does that.  There are medications that help with obsessive disorders, which is what this sounds like.  Of course the person is going to deny that anything is wrong.  But to treat a problem, you first have to realize that there IS one and WANT to work on getting better.  My husband is an alcoholic...he will slug down 6 drinks of Seagram's in 90 minutes, but if I ask him how many drinks he has had he will ALWAYS say "Oh, just one or two".  They are in denial, and people in denial are hard to treat.  Be gentle if this person is a family member or good friend....otherwise try to look past that and tell yourself it isn't your problem.  Good luck!

There are many reasons for this behavior\n1. they are insane/ has a mental ilness/condition\n2. They believe they were told to by God\n3. They don't have good anger managment\n4. They were on some sort of intoxicant\n5. They felt like they were provoked\n6. They  had multiple loves and other personal issues\n\nThat's about all I can think of.

Sounds similar to schizophrenia or some type of psychotic disorder. However if this is a new behavior that just started out of the blue it could be some sort of medical condition or reaction to a medication. Either way encourage some follow up with a doctor.

There is no real distinction between a psychological disorder and a physical disorder.  The psychology is a result of physical processes.  This does not mean that consultation, counseling, etc is not effective, it just means that these things can change the biochemistry of the brain.  Depression, for example, can be effectively treated by exercise, counseling, or drugs-all of them impacting on the same biochemical pathways.  Also, just because a behaviour is the result of biochemical processes does not mean that people are not responsible for what they do-Reward and punishment clearly does work to change behaviour, and thus an individual has the ability to change his or her behaviour, and thus the biochemistry of his or her brain.  If behaviour requires pharmacological treatment or is affecting the person's ability to live a satisfying, producting life, then it may become a medical condition.

Interesting\ncould be anxiety\nbut also could a condition called (Dystonia or Tardive Dyskinesia) which is typically caused by other psychotic medication but could be zoloft too? worth considering indeed since all those medications affect the brain.\nmy advice now is to talk to a psychiatrist (not a psychologist) & also a neurologist.\nif it was me, I wold stop the zoloft (after talking to my doctor)because if it is that condition(dystonia) then it MAY be even irreversible but hopefully it will stop once you stop the medication.\nlike I said, dont ignore it & ask for those 2 professionals mentioned above for their openion.\ngood luck
