And you call yourself smart? You really are good at proving me right once again. Psychologists are simply people who are expert in the field of psychology (usually people with a scientific degree in psychology). You're probably confused with a psychiatric, who is a doctor specialized in treating mentally ill people.Psychologists are interested in mental processes and behaviour. They work all over the spectrum of labour economics. They might be able to help you do something about your megalomania.Do your homework before falsely trying to discredit me again. Hit that diss button again, that'll surely make you a man.And just for a small ironic side note... I'm becoming (however interdisciplinary) an academic psychologist myself. You wouldn't think I'm totally ignorant about the field of science I'm operating in now, would you?
lol, like i said before; you dont have a clue what a psychologist acually does. It's like saying "a singer is good in singing". But you dont know what a psychologist really does. And megalomania hasn't been classified as an official mental disorder, so stop using terms that are only used in populair media. And finally, what makes you think I study economics?

I don't know who told you that, but it actually is an official psychosis. It's a personality disorder, and yes, personality disorders are officially mental disorders (whatever 'officially' in science means). I guess that's why there's heaps of official papers and studies on megalomania to be found in academic libraries; because it's something that's only mentioned in popular media... I'm sorry to bust your bubble once again, but your blank statements make very little sense.

I think your confusing symptoms and syndromes here. A psychosis is a symptom and can result in megalomania. It just depends on the way a psychosis is being expressed; A psychosis can also make a person hostile, anxious, etc. Thereofre, a megalomanic psychosis is not a symdrome. It can be a symptom of a variety of disorders, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Because of that, it is not included in the DSM IV, the "official" handbook of mental disorders (I think that's what Xander was talking about).A mechalomanic personality disorder, like you describes, does not exist in the current version of the DSM. Again, megalomania can be a symptom of personality disorders like a histrionic, or a narcissistic personality disorder. However, this type of megalomia differs completely from the psychotic type, cause now it's part of the persons personality and not due to a psychosis/hallucination. So Xander's either hallucinating, or he's suffering from a personality disorder. And have a prop for putting so much effort into proving Xander wrong!
now this dude knows what he's talking about^^ unlike you eleven. Psychologist my ass!!
Question to you: are psychosises always necessarily syndromes?

Lol @ how this topic has turned out! Yeah I graduated and I'm currently doing a research on Borderline personality disorder in Hilversum. It's a preparation for the real work as a practical psychologist. Looks like I have my first cliënt with Xander!
So how's your study going these days?
BTW do you consider rap in the 90's better than present day rap?
whatever y'all. You need to take a close look on yourselves and stop drinking that haterade.
All this overlap and the use of subcategories is damned confusing, but I believe we've pretty much come to a consensus, haven't we?Quote from: Biostabil on November 29, 2007, 05:43:57 AMQuote from: Eleven 2 Three on November 29, 2007, 04:56:42 AMQuestion to you: are psychosises always necessarily syndromes?I suppose you mean symptomes ?Actually, no. Symptomes (can) indicate syndromes, I know that. But does the word psychosis refer to a state of mind, or to the behaviour it results in? I thought it was the first, thus psychosises are related to syndromes (and only indirectly to symptomes). I was only wondering if this is a rule, or even in how much this applies.Quote from: Biostabil on November 29, 2007, 05:43:57 AMLol @ how this topic has turned out! Yeah I graduated and I'm currently doing a research on Borderline personality disorder in Hilversum. It's a preparation for the real work as a practical psychologist. Looks like I have my first cliënt with Xander!That's funny, we were actually discussing the core of your work here! But hell, borderline personality disorder - you sure have gotten yourself into a tough subject there. Are you planning on working with such patients all your life? Because damn, you need a strong personality to be able to cope with that in the long run... I know I couldn't (and wouldn't want to, for that matter). Props though, that's some really interesting work you do.Quote from: Biostabil on November 29, 2007, 05:43:57 AMSo how's your study going these days?You probably already noticed, I'm an ASW'er now. It felt like coming home when I finally started in Utrecht! People hadn't expected someone with Havo and a HBO diploma to be able to compete with the best out there, but they were proven wrong. A combination of writing skills and an endless will to learn everything there is to learn about the fields of science (sociology, psychology and cultural anthropology) has helped me really find my way there. It's still a long way to go, but I'm planning on specialising in ethics, getting me minors and/or masters in the fields of politicology and/or philosophy and maybe, if possible, a research master. That's just me daydreaming though. We'll see how things develop... Plus, living in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid with Thomas as my roommate - life is good man, I'm telling you!
