Is our president a psychopath as alluded to by many
writers on the Gambia-L? Well, read on and see for yourself
what you think.
Psychotic disorders are mental illnesses that center
around abnormal thinking and perceptions. Individuals with a psychotic
illness may experience hallucinations,
delusions or illusions. An individual with hallucinations is utterly
convinced that he or she sees, hears, smells or is otherwise experiencing
something that, in fact, does not really exist.
Delusions are fixed beliefs from which the individual cannot be shaken,
despite obvious contradictory evidence. Illusions involve misinterpreting
actual sensory information in one's environment.
Psychotic disorders include schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder,
schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, brief psychotic disorder,
shared psychotic disorder, psychotic disorder due to a specific general
medical condition, substance-induced psychotic disorder, and psychotic
disorder not otherwise specified. These disordersshare many features and
also have important features that set them apart form each other.
As far as treatment is concerned, many patients with psychotic symptoms
require hospitalization in order to ensure their safety and the safety of
others. Treatment often involves antipsychotic medications.
CALL YOUR DOCTOR and go get yourself some help IF you have the following.
1 Thoughts of hurting yourself or others i.e. burying people 6 feet deep.
2 You have trouble in your interpersonal relationships.
3 Others tell you that you are acting bizarrely [We hear these from Ebrima's
sources daily]
4 You feel speeded up, irritable or out of control.
5 You feel as if others are out to get you.
6 You are suddenly mistrustful of people whom you previously trusted
Allah is the one Who heals and may He heal those that need healing.
God Bless and Peace Be Upon All
Alasana Bah
