I get clinical depression once or twice a year.

[Shakerag]

I voted for "Nothing".  I don't support the societal and psychiatric mindset that every mental difference is some disorder or another. 

[Spaghetti7]

I also went for nothing. I'd say I just worry about things a bit too much, I don't have a disorder.

Yes sometimes the classifications do seem vague and extra, but do note that most of these disorders affect an individual..terribly.
Once we get an advancement in neuroscience we can ignore these psychiatric mindsets but till then it's important to classify them so that research can be done on them and even improve the current treatment which we have for them.

That's not what I was trying to say.  I'm not saying I think the classifications are "vague and extra", I have a problem with classifications fundamentally.

If I had to pick something I'd say antisocial personality disorder. Not that I've ever been diagnosed with it, just judging by myself. Once diagnosed with light autism but the person diagnosing me was an idiot, so I'm not surprised.

I agree. The human mind is a complex thing with a rich palet of quirks and oddities, I see no need to classify anything that deviates to much from some sort of golden average as a disorder.
It's in human social nature (most social animals?) to identify avoid and reject those who are deemed to different. All this classifying reminds me to much of some primitive witch hunt sometimes.

[Pandemonious Ivy]

Awkward timing with ^that post being right there.
But diagnosed with ADHD and Antisocial Personality Disorder. I think it's leaning towards a more x-altruist than a sociopathic take. Haven't had the time to ask my doctor about it.

For theoretical purposes.

that made a good read.

Oh so you both meant it like that?I very much agree.

[Svarte Troner]

I've never been tested for it, but I think I may have some anxiety issues.

[Lectorog]

My psychologist said for a while that I was autistic (Asperger's), but later dropped it. No official testing for it.

Bipolar here, Type 2. Not as fun as Type 1, but increased lifespan estimations. The depression is the more worrisome bit. Apparently not too worrisome, because my psychologist is letting me go.

It's not just about being different. It's about having quirks and oddities that are harmful to you or the people around you. I can't think of a disorder that is desirable.

Bipolar Type II is pretty great at times. Really, if not for suicidal depression and terrible apathy, I'd be quite happy for it. Interesting emotions and changing ways of viewing things.

Well one of the reasons for this classification was a way to understand people who had quirks or aspects of themselves that was different then everyone else.

So you suffer from being manic?
