Character Diagnosis

[Sara Quinn]

Ok, so today, Mathew asked me to take a look at his character, and see if he fit the criteria for any sort of diagnosis. I did. Then he gave me the idea to start this thread.

I guess now is a good time to give some background on me. I am in my final year of college to become a social service worker. An SSW is essentially, a counselor, somewhat like a psychiatrist. I have placed my emphasis with my courses on "Abnormal Psychology" which is the study of mental and emotional disorders, such as ADHD, ADD, GAD, Bi-Polar, Schizophrenia, etc. I have top marks in my class. A 4.0. That is a perfect average.

Now the legal part. I am not yet a registered SSW. I won't be until I graduate. These diagnoses are essentially jokes. Although i will take diagnosing seriously, and give a serious name for a disorder that fits your character, know that I am not registered and am not to be taken seriously (T.T *sadness*).

Ok, so the fun part XDDD If you would like me to analyze your character and provide a diagnosis, FREE OF CHARGE! Post your characters bio link here, and I will provide a diagnosis in this original post. In some cases, I may need to ask you some general questions, in which case, I will PM you.

Please Note: Diagnoses are based on what is in your Bio. If you feel that I've made a wrong choice, or that there is something that I should know that isn't in the bio, please PM me and well work together XDD

Please Note: Term term NOS - Not Otherwise Specified - This designation abbreviated NOS can be used when the mental disorder appears to fall within the larger category but does not meet the criteria of any specific disorder within that category.

Ok, so I have transferred this over XDDD I have tried to keep up with everyone, and I hope up until this point I have.

If you have changed your character during the transfer, just let me know and I will look it over, again, same rules apply, so if you dont have a diagnosis yet~dont be scurred to get one!!!

[Patrick O'Connor]

Oh me me!!!

and get me a thread so you have more examples!

[January]

Wow...awesome idea...I will let you know once I have a character up.

I found the lable "Currently" Stable amusing. All the other disturbed folks are bound to rub off on them eventually.

Do you have your own copy of the DSM-IV?

[Sara Quinn]

Duz Patrick want a fight with Sara >3 FIGHT ME D< NOW

and yus, actually i do :3 I have a copy for myself and on my laptop to carry with me constantly :3 *huggles her DSM* Diagnosing is my favorite thing in the world :3 <3333

I thought very hard about how to label those that were sane... I found a lot of the people had plot ideas that would develop, so I carefully chose the term "currently". I mean, there's always a chance everyone will develop something <3333 AND I WILL BE THERE WHEN THEY DO~~~

Hehe, I don't doubt it.

[Elmira Medina]

Ooooh, this is cool! I'm currently a psychology major (though I've only taken two psych. classes thus far), so this kind of thing is really interesting for me. You are my hero. T - T

Do mine!

You can probably figure out everything just from the personality part. There's gotta be specific labels for it. >.>

[Sara Quinn]

OK, everyone up to this point is up XDDD

[Kate]

ME!!!

Bwhahaha? Kate

[ChocoRem]

Me!!! OwO

[THE Justin]

Mind redoing mind? I changed a bit of Stu...

[January]

Smathers is not up there yet. My profile and roleplay so far only reveal a tiny part of his true personality, so you may or may not find it sufficient for a conclusive diagnosis.

[Sara Quinn]

OK, so everyone up to this point is up and fixed XD

except for kate, cuz she went offline when i needed to talk to her @_@

KATE DONT LET ME FORGET DX

Other then that, im caught up again! Remember, just let me know if you make any changes to your bio ^_^
