@lightingracer Well, that's a BIG problem.
-
@lightingracer None of those are mental disorders. A mental disorder is something psychological, where as all of those you named are chemical or developmental.
-
@theonepony PTSD isn't chemical. That's psychological.
-
@ceruleanspark Derp. I missed that one.
-
@theonepony i have bipolar disorder my self iv have been told its mental
-
@theonepony but still thats not the point
-
@lightingracer Bipolar can be either, but a majority of the cases, like most of them, are from chemical imbalances.
-
@nerthos how is that a big problem
-
@theonepony "A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern generally associated with subjective distress or disability that occurs in an individual, and which is not a part of normal development or culture. "
-
@lightingracer Well, is one of the main two things of a story. Plot (heh) and characters.
-
@lightingracer Wait a minute. (Doesn't shut down internet just yet). You're making a fan fic about developmental disorders. I study those, and I have A.D.H.D myself. I could probably be of help, but I have to do my term paper first.
-
@nerthos the main charter is Ditzy Doo if thats what you mean.
-
@theonepony FWIW my doctor refers to my depression as a mental illness even whilst prescribing me pills to fix (or at least regulate) my brain chemistry.
