Don't know what has: been done to date. Insure that you are working with capable mental health providers. A comprehensive, accurate mental health assessment is paramount.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See your doc.: First see your regular doctor and get examined. Some mental problems are caused hormonal or other problems.  So get a physical.  Then, if no problems are found and your doc feels it is appropriate, he/she can refer you to the trustworthy specialist, whether a psychiatrist and/or psychologist to evaluate your mental state.

Question 3

i am very unstable mentally, no longer able to live my life normally because of a traumatic event in my past. who should i go to for assistance?

Accepted Answer

Begin w/psychiatrist: Working with the impact of such experiences on you may require some time, and it needs to be done gently.  Often people benefit from combining psychotherapy with medications for strong anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, and depression symptoms.  I suggest starting with a full evaluation with a psychiatrist, who can treat you & suggest skilled psychologists/other therapists to work with too.

Question 4

how do i know if my son mentally unstable?

Accepted Answer

See below: Symptoms like these are best deterimed by a thorough evaluation by your son's physician.  Based on his/her findings, a treatment plan can be developed to help your son.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my friend might be mentally unstable what to do?

Accepted Answer

Talk: Invite your friend for coffee, and explain your concerns about their behavior. If done in a non-judgemental way, your friend may accept what you say, and seek psychiatric evaluation. Equally likely, they may recieve your concerns as a personal attack, and tell you to take a hike. Mental commitment laws vary widely, but someone who is a danger to themselves or others can be committed for evaluation

Question 6

feeling nervous, sleepy, unable to concentrate on research work, attracted to women,  mentally unstable?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms: Your symptoms are of a mixed batch that can go along with anxiety. The attraction to women I cannot place with the other symptoms. Is that different for you? It sounds like you might want to see a psychiatrist or start with your general practitioner to go through these symptoms.

Question 7

can you get toxoplasmosis from cleaning out cat litter trays and can it cause you to have mental health problems, as some reports are claiming?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted via cat feces, and from undercooked, exposed meat.  The parasite can be carried as a cyst within the brain. It can induce the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase necessary to make the neurotransmitter dopamine.  Elevations in Dopamine may be associated with psychotic symptoms -- but toxoplasmosis is not the source of all psychosis. http://tinyurl.com/cftsn7.

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would be a good idea to take his medical reports to that exam. It would help the doctor understand his problems.

Question 9

psychologists, i need a mental qualified functional capacity report (mqfcr) from a past dr. how do i get him/her to fill it out? a few years ago i saw a psychologist in dalton and he never filled out but a few documents. he still works there. how do i get

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. If you need a current functional capacity report, he wouldn't be able to provide that if you weren't in his care. If his notes were scant, he might ot be able to complete the report to describe how you were doing then. I would get in touch with his office. Explain clearly what you need and ask him or his staff how to best accomplish this.

Question 10

wanted to know where can i contact to report my neighbor who is suffering from mental health issue?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the neighbor is threatening to harm themselves or is aggressive towards others, then contacting police would be the first thing to do.  Unfortunately, other than that, if the individual is not willing to receive help then there is little that can be done.
