Any Advice on Ganga and Personality Disorders?

Don't listen to that bullshit. "personality disorder"= not the average way of processing information or emotions(humans are genetically all set up to think and feel the same? laughable) . Sounds like you're a normal person who just likes to smoke weed. Pick whatever strain you want because the strain will have NO effect on your so called "personality disorder".

That's true, but its not the full definition:

Personality disorders are a class of personality types and enduring behaviors associated with significant distress or disability, which appear to deviate from social expectations particularly in relating to others

So the point isn't that the personality in question deviates from the average, the point is that the deviation is causing the person who has it a problem!

Now, you're absolutely right to be skeptical of psychiatric classification, but just because the classification is imperfect (or even highly flawed), that doesn't mean that there are no such thing as "personality disorders".

What causes/constitutes them is debatable, but borderline personality disorder, anti-social personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder. . .these are real entities.

Hey Jogro,

Nice write up there.

lllGlass, thanks for your bit as well.

I apologize if my post came off like "social personality disorders are mumbo jumbo and fake". I don't feel this way in the least i truly do feel that people fall behind due to negative social interaction, brain chemistry, and specific environmental effects.

But to throw around general terms like "borderline personality disorder" sounds like rubbish to me(if that's what you were told by your psychiatrist). To play devils advocate for a bit, if a person lives for 19 years believing they are different

mentally from everyone else but then is told that they weren't different at all the whole time do you think they may have been held back socially by that thought? I'd say after believing that for 19 years i'd have a bit of a "personality

disorder" myself.

Strainwise, to answer your question, Pathfinder, try Jack Herer. It's pretty damn close to Heaven.
Should ease what ails ya.

don't think having BPD is that much different to Bipolar (i'm the latter), which is why you were misdiagnosed originally (or maybe this time?) - either case, the main problem is the swings and i haven't come across a mood-stabilizer better then some good herb (and i've been through a few); its good for the ups as it calms you down and good for the downs as it makes you happy i'm not an expert on the different strains but would just say stay away from generic crap you get off the streets - smoking something that induces paranoia and anxiety sort of defeats the stabilizing effect and can actually make it much worse :/


in any case, i would recommend seeing other psychiatrists for re-assessment, if for 19 years you were told you have bipolar, it is more than likely the new diagnosis is incorrect.... BPD just sounds like a cop-out anyway, an excuse to blame the patient for their illness; personality is largely effected by brain chemistry so making a distinction between the 2 just doesn't make much sense to me :/

Hey Hermit, nice comment/reply. Thanks for that.

no probs dude, hope it works out for you...
