That means millions of Americans are totally batshit. but having perused the various tests available that they use to determine whether you're manic depressive. OCD, schizo-affective, schizophrenic, or whatever, I'm surprised the number is that low. So I have gone through a bunch of the available tests, and I've taken questions from each of them, and assembled my own psychological evaluation screening which I thought I'd share with you. So, here are some of the things that they ask to determine if you're mentally disordered 1. In the last week, have you been feeling irritable? 2. In the last week, have you gained a little weight? 3. In the last week, have you felt like not talking to people? 4. Do you no longer get as much pleasure doing certain things as you used to? 5. In the last week, have you felt fatigued? 6. Do you think about sex a lot? If you don't say yes to any of these questions either you're lying, or you don't speak English, or you're illiterate, in which case, I have the distinct impression that I may have lost you a few chapters ago.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Carrie Fisher" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/carrie-fisher/statistics-say-that-a-range-of-mental-disorders-affects-more-than-one/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/carrie-fisher-927_americans_statistics-say-that-a-range-of-mental-di_1083680.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/carrie-fisher-927_americans_statistics-say-that-a-range-of-mental-di_1083680.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/carrie-fisher-927_americans_statistics-say-that-a-range-of-mental-di_1083680.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Statistics say that a range of mental disorders affects more than one in four Americans in any given year…” — Carrie Fisher", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“One of the things that baffles me (and there are quite a few) is how there can be so much lingering stigma with regards to mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder.

At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you're living with this illness and functioning at all, it's something to be proud of, not ashamed of.
