Answer 6

It depends on the illness.  In most cases, there may not be any outward appearance of an illness, it may manifest as peculiar habits, or strange ideas.  Nothing is universal to all mentally ill people, and mental illness itself is not well-understood, although we have a better grasp of it than we used to.  If, for example, you are talkng about schizophrenia, a typical sign is strange, jerky, muscle movements, usually on one side of the body.  Delusions, paranoia, or the 'highs and lows' of depression and bi-polar disorder are also recognized as symptoms.  Basically, mental illness comes in varying types, so the best thing to do would be to look up the DSM-III, or a merck manual.

Answer 9

I'm mentally ill.

Most of the time people say that I'm a good person, I don't get in trouble and try to be responsible. My problem is noticeable when people try to make small talk with me. I have a hard time keeping the conversation.

is not lack of culture, I read & go to the opera and also travel around the world often.

I've lived in Europe and I used to be an artist.

I don't have a lot of friends.

Even with a very high IQ and a College degree I have a hard time finding a job or keeping one.

Most of the time I keep my life to myself. I have a lot of life experiences in my adventure travels. Lots of stories that I wish I could tell, but can't.



More symptoms:

Can't stand loud noises

Can't look at people in the eye

Anxiety

Ups and downs

obsessions

funny body posture

not good at sports

rocking when in public  ( lots of people give me weird looks for this one)  

   ..............................they don't realize that I can't help it,  I think they're rude.

I also can't fake a smile.
