disorders...?

---

So I have several mental disorders. I used to have severe social phobia but my meds have pretty much straightened that out, thank God. Yet I still have issues that flare up once in a while, such as depression, extreme anxiety, and anger management. What I'm wondering is if I'm also afflicted with some sort of sexual aversion disorder. I've looked it up a bit but I don't want to diagnose myself. Can you tell me about it, your experiences with it, whatever?

and could you please read this question and tell me if it sounds like I have this disorder?

Thank you so much
I would suggest you print both this page, and the page you link to and take it to the last person you worked with for your mental disorders. If the medcations work well for you maybe they just need a bit of tweaking.

You don't give enough background about the nature of your disorders. Truly, if you have several disorders your situation is probably too complex for a forum like this. With all of my sympathy for your situation, please go talk to your doctor.  (+ info)

Sexual behavior of patients with personality disorders?

---

Does each personality disorder have its own sexual behavior or expression?
Our sexual behavior expresses not only our psychosexual makeup but also the entirety of our personality. Sex is the one realm of conduct which involves the full gamut of emotions, cognitions, socialization, traits, heredity, and learned and acquired behaviors. By observing one's sexual predilections and acts, the trained psychotherapist and diagnostician can learn a lot about the patient.

Inevitably, the sexuality of patients with personality disorders is thwarted and stunted. In the Paranoid Personality Disorder, sex is depersonalized and the sexual partner is dehumanized. The paranoid is besieged by persecutory delusions and equates intimacy with life-threatening vulnerability, a "breach in the defenses" as it were. the paranoid uses sex to reassure himself that he is still in control and to quell is anxiety.

The patient with Schizoid Personality Disorder is asexual. The schizoid is not interested in maintaining any kind of relationship and avoids interactions with others - including sexual encounters. He prefers solitude and solitary activities to any excitement sex can offer. The Schizotypal Personality Disorder and the Avoidant Personality Disorder have a similar effect on the patient but for different reasons: the schizotypal is acutely discomfited by intimacy and avoids close relationships in which his oddness and eccentricity will be revealed and, inevitably, derided or decried. The Avoidant remains aloof and a recluse in order to conceal her self-perceived shortcomings and flaws. The avoidant mortally fears rejection and criticism. The schizoid's asexuality is a result of indifference - the schizotypal's and avoidant's, the outcome of social anxiety.

Patients with the Histrionic Personality Disorder (mostly women) leverage their body, appearance, sex appeal, and sexuality to gain narcissistic supply (attention) and to secure attachment, however fleeting. Sex is used by histrionics to prop up their self-esteem and to regulate their labile sense of self-worth. Histrionics are, therefore, "inappropriately seductive" and have multiple sexual liaisons and partners.

The sexual behavior of histrionics is virtually indistinguishable from that of the somatic narcissist (patient with Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and the psychopath (patient with Antisocial Personality Disorder). But while the histrionic is overly-emotional, invested in intimacy, and self-dramatizing ("drama queen"), the somatic narcissist and the psychopath are cold and calculating.

The Somatic narcissist and the psychopath use their partners' bodies to masturbate with and their sexual conquests serve merely to prop up their wavering self-confidence (somatic narcissist) or to satisfy a physiological need (psychopath). The somatic narcissist and psychopath have no sexual playmates - only sexual playthings. Having conquered the target, they discard it, withdraw and move on heartlessly.

The cerebral narcissist is indistinguishable from the schizoid: he is asexual and prefers activities and interactions which emphasize his intelligence or intellectual achievements. Many cerebral narcissists are celibate even when married.

Patients with the Borderline Personality Disorder and the Dependent Personality Disorder both suffer from abandonment and separation anxieties and are clinging, demanding, and emotionally labile - but their sexual behavior is distinguishable. The borderline uses her sexuality to reward or punish her mate. The dependent uses it to "enslave" and condition her lover or spouse. The borderline withholds sex or offers it in accordance with the ups and downs of her tumultuous and vicissitudinal relationships. The codependent tries to make her mate addicted to her particular brand of sexuality: submissive, faintly masochistic, and experimental.  (+ info)

What age group and what gender of all humans are more vunerable to get a eating disorder?

---

I have to do a project on eating disorders and i would like to know what age group and gender is most likely to get an eating disorder.

can you please also give a few reasons for why you say so? example, girls are more likely to receive an eating disorder because of peer pressure.

thank you for answering ! =)
probably girls because they think being a twig instead of having some meat on their bones is sexy which isn't - muscle helps you to lose weight to begin with and keeps you healthy that is why a lot of anorexic women have heart attacks because your heart is a muscle duh and it's being deprived of nutrients etc. once you do that you kill the human you are.

I would say it affects tbh in my opinion any group or age that wishes to be influenced by a lie. Eating salad or fruits wont make you fat nor eating fish - if you get enough exercise 30 minutes or an hour briskly jogging or walking - drinking plenty of fluits like juice or nutrients you will lose weight and better yet you will feel healthy unfortunately it isn't exactly cheap to buy nutrients but it is very possible

here is a site that is packed full of good products and is cheaper than your 70 dollar brand of nutrients

Are eating disorders sexual?

---

I had an eating disorder when I was growing up and now that I am mature I am having trouble from turning away from an eating disorder. I know that sexual exploration begins around age ten for females and around age twenty is the end of female development. Is this possible?
Actually, the brain begins to shrink after age twenty !!!

I am almost sure that eating disorders are sexual too.

I suppose it doesn't matter, but it matters to me! Thanks.
no the two aren't related at all. it might be that you just need to work on your self esteem..  (+ info)

Moms, how was your libido affected during pregnancy, and what was the gender of your baby?

---

I asked a question before about libido during pregnancy and it seemed split down the middle. Half the women had no interest and half the women noted said they had an increase in sexual desire.

I started wondering what the baby's gender was in relation to a rise or drop in sexual tendencies during pregnancy, so.... did you have more or less interest in sex during pregnancy and did you have a boy or a girl.

I'm an expectant father and I'm writing a book and blog http://blog.almostadad.com for expectant fathers on living with and caring for pregnant women.

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
i have no sex drive at all!! I feel sorry for my husband =[ i love him & desire him in my heart, but i'm just not up for it..

& i'm having a boy =]
God Bless  (+ info)

What is one possible cause of congenital disorders?

---

What is one possible cause of congenital disorders?
A. Sexual contact
B. Lifestyle choices of the mother
C. Medical errors during delivery
D. All of the above
A congenital disorder is a medical condition that is present at birth. A congenital disorder can be recognized before birth (prenatally), at birth, or many years later. The causes of congenital disorders can vary.

Congenital disorders can vary in severity from minor physical anomalies to more severe abnormalities.

About 25% of birth defects result from genetic abnormalities. About 5% involve abnormalities of large portions or entire chromosomes. Some congenital disorders arise from inheritance of abnormal genes from the parents but some can arise from a new mutation in one of the germ cells that contributed to the fetus.  (+ info)
