A Mental Illness????

Question

This is going to sound really bizarre but if you know someone like this you'll know what I'm talking about, I'd just like to know if there is a name or something for it. I have a friend and she has these "episodes" if you like, they can last about an hour and on some days happen twice a day. She'll probably start squealing really loud at first and talking like a small child (she's 15) and then she'll go on to lying on the floor and repetitively asking for a kiss from her brother or sister, if she gets denied she'll just go screaming again or start throwing herself about. I don't think she's all there in the head and sometimes she starts crying at little things on the tv or something. If you saw her at first you wouldn't suspect a thing which makes it weird. I know already she has OCD and tendencies to self harm. Any ideas though on what this is?

Answer 1

I've never known a Bipolar person to throw themselves on the floor. Her parents need to take her and have her checked out....maybe as her friend you can drop a subtle hint.

OCD wouldn't cause it either.....they're very neat. Keep all sharp objects away from her and ask her why she acts that way~

Answer 2

perhaps a border line personality disorder.

Answer 3

schizophrenic... or schizophrenic personality disorder which is a lot like it but more about the enviorment... idk i a lot about the second one though i must say.

Answer 4

Some kind of complex seizure maybe? Borderline maybe (that would fit with the self-harm). Needs a psychiatric evaluation definitely.  

Answer 5

sounds like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or multiple personalities
