Never want an oxycodone prescription ever again. Gave me terrible auditory hallucinations. Kept turning around like a retard thinking someone was saying something to me when nothing was there. Not surprising given that opioids increase dopamine activity, and schizophrenics have higher than normal dopamine. I naturally have low dopamine, which is probably why I'm not sleeping on park benches and having conversations with the voices in my head.Devnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-42383351380256595062014-07-19T08:03:11.207-07:002014-07-19T08:03:11.207-07:00Am I the only one whose ever wanted to go to a shr...Am I the only one whose ever wanted to go to a shrink and make them lose it?

I just have minor manifestations associated with those disorders. Somebody probably would have noticed my abnormalities, particularly the speech difficulties, if it weren't for the fact that I constantly have to maintain a facade to hide the callous, unemotional traits. I just monitor how much I talk when not tired and pay attention to when I start getting tired, so there isn't an extreme difference between the two states that might attract attention. As for the problem with hearing conversations, unsurprisingly I'm very good at reading people, so I can usually follow a conversation quite well without being able to hear it. I'm also fortunate to have a higher than average IQ, so I can rearrange word breaks in my head quickly enough to tell what was said and respond in a timely fashion. The bipolar symptoms are easy to prevent as long as I make sure to get enough UVB light and maintain decent sleep hygiene. If not, then I get hyper, irritable, have fragmented thoughts, and can't sleep for several days at a time. Eventually I crash and burn due to the sleep deprivation.<br /><br />Based on the reading I've done, I suspect that there is a strong genetic linkage between the psychotic disorders and cluster B disorders. Many of the structural abnormalities seen in criminal psychopaths' brains are shared by schizophrenics. Haven't found much on the structure of bipolar brains, but Fallon mentioned in his book that he is bipolar, and that about a third of bipolar patients also qualify for a cluster B diagnosisDevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-1672833877435393962014-07-18T22:48:01.731-07:002014-07-18T22:48:01.731-07:00Dev,

I don't have ASPD myself, just bpd, but on my dad's side of the family he has severe psychotic depression, but he doesn't experience mania. One of his brothers though has bipolar disorder with psychotic features (bipolar I), and their sister was bipolar, and committed suicide. I don't experience any psychotic symptoms myself though.Dr. Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-72233360267363201892014-07-18T22:18:43.162-07:002014-07-18T22:18:43.162-07:00Interesting Bob, so you go around in something sim...Interesting Bob, so you go around in something similar to a meditative state all the time. I too would like to get an fMRI, but that is impracticable. Aside from the fact that I don't work in the neuroscience field, there is the problem of 'revelations'.<br /><br />I'm interested in the genetic relationship of psychopathy/sociopathy to other mental disorders, and wondered if either one of you show any mild symptoms of bipolar or schizophrenia. My genetic test came back with a lot of genes for both. In the bipolar department, I have seasonal affective disorder that if I don't carefully regulate my sleep schedule and light exposure morphs into something more akin to hypomania, Schizophrenia- difficulty hearing conversations as the words tend to run together or I hear word breaks in the middle of words instead of at either end, when tired speech becomes difficult and limited to not much more than "Yeah", "No", and "Hmm". Interestingly once speech becomes a problem my visuo-spatial ability goes up, and there is no reduction in reading or writing ability.Devnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-52420235320148468642014-07-18T18:09:53.819-07:002014-07-18T18:09:53.819-07:00Because the specific tests, such as visual and wor...Because the specific tests, such as visual and word associations that elicit emotional responses, which are needed to obtain the needed neural responses (or lack thereof) are just that - specific. Fallon discovered it accidentally, but I can't claim that if I request the specific tests. Imagine if you had hepatitis, and you asked for a hepatitis blood test. Can you reasonably expect to convince someone of harmless ignorance? Especially as, in that example, a pathologist? For Fallon it would work, since that is his specific area of expertise in neuroscience and as such could claim it a coincidence, but it isn't mine. I can't reasonably request those specific tests and claim to use myself as a control group for an experiment, since I work in a different area of neuroscience. I could reasonably request an fMRI even out of pure curiousity, and people would think it understandable given my general field, but not those tests. fMRIs are useless without the necessary tasking.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-25976482874818502562014-07-18T17:10:00.739-07:002014-07-18T17:10:00.739-07:00Why not?Why not?Dr. Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-44456584944826425622014-07-18T16:14:27.361-07:002014-07-18T16:14:27.361-07:00Studying neuroscience, I would love to too just ou...Studying neuroscience, I would love to too just out of pure curiousity.

However, there was so much alpha in various regions that I "should" have been asleep and/or have had terrible accuracy at the task. Which would make sense, if I was neurologically normal and those regions were as active as they should have been. Sufficed to say, my data was garbage for the experiment, and he happily joked that I was no longer invited to volunteer for them.<br /><br />I should note that from past studies, abnormal EEGs have only been shown to appear with "some" sociopaths. By itself it is not indicative. Of course, I would prefer if certain colleagues would not see those results (luckily that colleague studies something else entirely) and I know now not to participate in certain EEG studies where this abnormality might mean something to one of them, seeing as I am unfortunately one of those sociopaths who registers on EEGs.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-57509424171765949762014-07-18T11:51:00.196-07:002014-07-18T11:51:00.196-07:00What features of your EEG were abnormal, if you do...What features of your EEG were abnormal, if you don't mind me asking?

Why exactly that is is still being explored.<br /><br />I'm involved in neuroscience, and just out of curiousity had volunteered myself for an unrelated experiment using EEG (a colleague was short on participants and I was bored) when I was told by him that my data was unusable (for the experiment) because it was well beyond expected norms. I did not tell him what the real probable cause was (for obvious reasons), but I was surprised myself when he showed me the data at just how much of an outlier it was. Now as a disclaimer, EEGs have limitations like MRIs (albeit different ones), but it is enough in some cases (when you look at other studies, mine is simply an anecdote) to see a neurological component instead of a psychodynamic one.Bobnoreply@blogger.com
