Psychological Disorders   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #6367 of 7688 |
Hi Folks!
 
Here's a website with a list of Psychological Disorders abusive persons can have (i.e., Narcissistic Personality Disorder). If you are a target of abuse, however, and either have been or are diagnosed with a disorder please ensure that your doctor knows what verbal/emotional abuse is and knows that you are being abused in this capacity!
 
Years and years back, I was diagnosed with having a nonexistent disorder because I was being abused. If this be the case with you, too, you will find that once you can remove yourself from the abuse the symptoms of the disorder "miraculously" disappear!
 
My point being: it can be very damaging to be diagnosed with/treated for something you do not have when you are a target of abuse, and most abusers will take advantage of this (i.e., abuse you and then if you speak up about this to others they will blame it on your alleged disorder) so make sure you find the right doctor for you.  Thank you!
 
Terri
