Avatar f tn Hi there & welcome to the forum. I am sorry you are feeling so lousy. I can see that you are suffering from depression & you have had some personality changes that you don't like. Are you seeing a Counsellor etc? I recently became depressed just after my dx & I can say I didn't like the person I was. I have now found something to help with the depression & am feeling more like my usual self. From what I've read you sound dragged down since your dx in 2008.
Avatar f tn I posted a question back in August about medication available for major depression whilst having SVT's and Long QT. I thought I would update everyone that replied, on my outcome.
429432 tn?1343594190 In psychiatry, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a personality disorder characterised by extreme 'black and white' thinking, mood swings, emotional reasoning, disrupted relationships and difficulty in functioning in a way society accepts as normal. The name comes from the DSM-IV-TR; the ICD-10 in Europe has an equivalent called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder.
Avatar n tn Everybody reacts differently to depression. Currently my TSH is at 14 and I just started medication yesterday - my depression takes the form of no motivation, to get up and go to work or do house work, cry at the drop of a hat and sleep. Being around people and drinking is the last thing I want to do but as I said everyone is different.
1450085 tn?1298941702 so i have been doing my research and all the manifestations of a borderline personality disorder seem to fit perfectly with me even looking back to when i was a young kid. just wondering if this is so are people with BPD prone to anxiety/depression like i am?
Avatar f tn No, this does not sound like depression - perhaps borderline personality disorder? The above poster is correct - an evaluation by a psychiatrist would be of benefit.

Avatar n tn Can depression change someone's personality? I can't recognise my mother and I don't know what to do and how to take it. She is now 63 years old and she was diagnosed with a depression about to 10 years ago. She was extremly down at the time, used to cry a lot and it was clear that hse was very unhappy wiith her life. She started on a medication and things were more or less stable till 5 years ago when her own mother died.
Avatar f tn t know if your personality, as it can be with mood disorder such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), is causing the depression or what else... I would start with a mental health professional.
1618236 tn?1408072214 I have written to you earlier on my Borderline Personality disorder and you wrote back but am not following you on what you said : One formulation of borderline personality disorder is that it involves a deficit in the "self soothing" function - the ability to make oneself feel OK/safe. Hence the symptoms of heightened sensitivity, anxiety, and irritability.
Avatar n tn If I have been diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder, whom shall I see?
Avatar m tn She was so vocal and playful and had a very distinct personality. The parents of the family went away on vacation for a week and it was around that time that she 100% lost her personality. Now she just lays there with her eyes open and doesn't budge. She barely eats and has a lot of trouble going to the bathroom. When you interact with her its just like there is no one home, like the lights are on but no ones home.
696943 tn?1229366600 Google can explain and so can DSM-IV but basically BPD is a personality disorder and BP is a mood disorder - if you do some reading you will see a very large difference is apparent.
Avatar m tn The TSH test, itself, is a very accurate test... the problem is that it doesn't always tell you what you need to know, when it comes to thyroid, because TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone. When testing for thyroid conditions, you always need to test Free T3 and Free T4, which are the actual thyroid hormones, along with the TSH and many doctors, either don't know this or don't think it necessary. They think TSH is adequate.
460066 tn?1206449887 MS is not good, in general for our mental health, and yes, we can have definite personality changes, in addition to depression. I encourage you to take every step to try to reverse the mood and also the persistent thinking about the betrayal - hard to do, but the characteristic of survivors is learning the ability to move beyond our hurts and our losses. Again, welcome, this is a good place.
Avatar f tn If you do not have any symptoms of mania, I would guess it would be depression but best to see your doctor for dx and proper medications. Depression can and will deepen if not treated so don't wait too long if the medication he prescribed does not help. It sometimes takes awhile to find what works best for you. Best wishes to you.
Avatar n tn However, you should make sure this is not a depressive disorder you are dealing with. A covert schizoid personality disorder does not necessarily explain the depression you had after college. DSM-IV TR and ICD-10 do not describe a covert type. And so far, it remains a subjective area. You might also want to consider 'personality disorder not otherwise specified'. Hope this helps a bit.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with every condition under the sun, mainly anxiety and depression and borderline personality disorder but I also have a family history of Obsessive compulsive disorder and believe I suffer Obsessive compulsive personality disorder (similar).
Avatar m tn Like nothing at all. I feel like my personality is changing, I feel less creative too. Any reason? Or what are the effects? Is this common? Where my personality is changing.
Avatar f tn I have BPD which is a personality disorder and depression is the main part , now I'm pregnant I can't take calming medications, sleeping tablets or anything to help me. But yes hormone play a huuuuge part as well as probably the worries of being a mum and your child being healthy. I'm going through it all too, it keeps me awake most nights.
