Multiple Personality Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorders are often linked, since patients with MPD are severely abused survivors in all cases as a rule. Multiple Personality Disorders often have symptoms, including distinct personalities, including different genders, or ages, multiple signatures, different IQs, personality types, amnesia, voices within the head, frequent nightmares, the us of we when referring to self, outer body experiences and so forth. The patients are often left alone in the world since rarely does the researchers, experts, philosophers and so on have enough information put together to understand this diagnoses. As a survivor of both Multiple Personality and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, I can tell you in most cases do you ever hear the truth in full about multiple personality disorders. The distance between Multiple Personality Disorders and other common disorders is that MPD patients will fight against lying, strive for accuracy, and enforce precision. As a rule most female patients are rarely violent, however there has been known cases of male patients that were sent to prison for rape, robbery, and other crimes. The fact is the patient was merely acting on a “Projection” and “Interjection” that was sent to him by another alter. In other words, the patient is reliving a horrific moment that probably including rape, robbery or other crimes, and acted out on his visual actions. This means that the patient was thinking that he was fighting, or retaliating or reenacting what the perpetrator did to him. I am not writing many details about Multiple Personality Disorder since I have an upcoming book going on the market. Any information about Multiple Personality Disorder will be provided in great details in my book, I am afraid to close my eyes, when I open them, I might not be me…the Black Demon. Multiple Personality Disorder is a REAL disorder without fictional characters, as many believe. The personalities, including child alters, adult, teen, elderly, are all sub parts of an actually human being that was traumatized beyond a persons ability to cope with trauma. Multiple Personality patients often suffer anorexia and bulimia; they may also suffer from sleeping disorders and discomforts. Some of the personalities are stronger than others, and most all multiple personality survivors are artistic and highly creative. Multiple Personality patients are also extremely intelligent. This diagnosis takes years to relieve, and most therapists will avoid diagnosing a patient even if he or she has two or all of the symptoms of multiple personality disorder. Multiple personality patients also have difficulty with medical treatment, since the blood rates raise and lower, MRI can find seizures one day and nothing the next, respiratory rates often flounder, and some alters may even be blind. The person often goes through life with this disorder, and when they reach a certain age, shattering beyond coping begins. This is when Integration needs to take place. Integration is the processing of sending the alters to an area of the mind for permanent stay. Once the Integration process is completed, most MPD patients are lost in the world. After living an entire life with ‘families’ within, and then all of sudden coming into a corrupted system all alone with little support, is it any wonder they often hate life after Integration. The people often feel a sense of loss when Integrated, since the only family they knew and loved is now sitting comfortable in the chambers of their mind, while they have to deal with all the lying, stealing, controversies, work, and other life stressors alone. The personalities once Integrated can still communicate with the patient, however it is never the same. Most MPD patients also have posttraumatic stress disorders, since trauma from early childhood and throughout their lives is the ONLY reason MPD develops in the first place. There has been many arguments on this controversial disorder, but the fact is, it is real and we must face the truth of its diagnose. The many controversies that has swept the market is often linked to criminals that used this diagnose as an excuse to get away with crime. Had the system been informed and accepted MPD as a real disorder, they wouldn’t have been so naïve as to believe just anyone claiming to have Multiple Personality Disorder, and would have stopped the defendant at the front door.
Some people believe that mental illnesses are all the same. If you are diagnosed with a mental illness then not to worry because everyone else diagnosed is just like you. This is far removed from reality and the truth. What is so ironic is the same people that are saying this (is often ill them self) will often say something to the affect when a murder takes place. ‘He is a psychopathic or sociopath. Yet the neighbor down the road who visits every day has a mental illness and when this person visits, or the therapist is overwrought. You do not have a mental illness you have problems like the rest of us. This is easier to accept than believing that a person has a mental illness. This is nuts, since it is only contributing to the problem. The problem with the world is all the people seeking help are doing their job and the people that are making excuses or in denial of mental health, illness existence is in serious need of help. For example if Johnny visits a counselor knowing that something is not right, he is asking for help. On the other hand if that person sitting at the table telling the neighbor nothing is wrong, and claims that seeing a counselor is only spending money, then guess who is in real need of help. The person that does not go to a counselor or ask someone in the world for help is the person that mentally ill more so than the common mental ill. Mental is nothing to play around with, and since we are all different it can be complicated to determine who is ill. I have watched as countless of patients went to mental health experts and watched them continue to suffer although they worked hard with the counselor to find a resolve. The problem is that mental healths experts are more concerned about money than the patients are most time, and believe they know it all and the patient knows nothing most all the time. Many therapists are in this field of expertise and if you did a background check on the professional, you are probably going to see this person is a mental health potential or skip out as well. It does not take a genius to understand mental health, but it takes many idiots to tangle the webs of darkness. In most instances, mentally ill patients are brilliant individuals that have difficulty managing their lives due to frequent interruptions. Most all the patients that go to mental health experts can talk about their problems freely searching for answers to survive. The problem is (between the lines of communication) lies a fountain of information that can help both the patient and the counselor, but too many times the counselors are entangled in their own webs, they miss out on the benefits of helping another person out. Personally, I spent 25 years in counselor with no results up until the last three years and then I was working harder than the counselor to resolve my own problems was. She was doing a portion of her job, but my strategies were succeeding hers, and I left her behind. Now, if you see what I am saying then you will know that anyone with a mental illness has more of an answer than over half of the professionals in the world. If you have, experience and they have a piece of paper without experience, who knows more? I often have more compassion for mentally ill patients, than I have for the so-called normal and professionals of the world. I have watched many suffering after begging practically for help, and very little result came from it all. I watched as many counselors blamed the patient for the failure, but in all truths, they had a responsibility in this as well. Most counselors are in denial which is a mental health issue, and many people in many professions are in denial, and this my friend is a major cause for mental health issues around the world. Ill minds think alike because someone is influenced while the other source is influencing.
When we are living on the edge of anger, we are merely wasting time, energy and possibly money. We are also allowing our emotions to control our lives, and hurting our mind and body along the way. In some cases, we might even hurt others as a result of uncontrolled anger. Some socio-biologist believes that aggressive anger is hereditary and that we all have the ability to loose control of our emotions and anger. Other socio-biologists believe that the aggressive portion of the brain if injured or suffering tumor is linked to anger. When a man murdered his wife, and then murdered more than 30 other individuals before killing his self. It was found that the man had an outsized growth developed on the limbic system of the brain. Likewise, when a person has epileptics they often explode in violence on occasions. The majority of violent offenders incarcerated were tested and it was found that most suffered antisocial personality disorders. There are many reasons we become angry and some of us act out violently while others are less prone to violence. It is also said that the hormones and certain chemicals may be linked to anger. The problem then is learning to deal with anger on different levels, while getting testing on our medical condition and mental health. The testosterone if higher than average has proven to be linked to anger also, as well certain chemicals found in women offenders has linked to anger. In fact, most of the violent criminals have proven to have higher testosterone. We see that anger has a root, but in most instances, fear is the root of the problems. If experts would have taking steps to prevent the first case scenario by running tests on the man’s head it might have saved some lives. We know that most violent offenders will not seek mental health, but they do visit doctors since most have a grandiosity personality type. They often worship themselves more so than the average person, and will often feel as though the world owes them. If these types are visiting a doctor and complaining then someone needs to pay attention to the symptoms and do something about. Anger management is available to everyone, but the downside is anger management will not work in all cases. For example, if an Antisocial personality type visits anger management classes he or she will walk out the door and continue his or her behavior. Unfortunately, some diagnosis, including antisocial, psychopathic, sociopath, histrionic, and a few others are known to fail in anger management and mental health combined. These types often rarely find a resource that helps them control their anger and often increases their chances by adhering to substances. This is a real life situation where the person is living on the edge of anger and walking on the road to destruction. If you are an average individual and find your self exploding from time to time acting out of anger you might benefit from anger management classes. The classes teach you to learn your behaviors, find a way to minimize the eruptive behaviors and control your anger. They will help you to learn more about your triggers and how to cope with the triggers as they come your way. You will benefit when you learn how to express your anger without blowing up or feeling threatened by communicating your feelings. If the problem is persistent, you might want to get a check up with your physician or possibly see a mental health expert. Do not expect more of your self than what you can do. If you are attending classes or seeing, a profession does not expect changes overnight. Try taking it slow using the one day at a time method, unless you are overly wrought then you might want to take it one second at a time to start out. If you notice changes in your behaviors within a week or two of your therapy be sure to commend your self for doing a good job. You might even reward your self with something that you have been wanting for some time. Finally, stop living on the edge of anger and enjoy life.
Myth #1:
Migraines are easily recognized and diagnosed by doctors.
Reality:
Migraines are among the least properly diagnosed and most mistreated of all illnesses.
Up to 70% of migraines sufferers have never been properly diagnosed with having the illness. Migraines remain seriously underestimated and misunderstood, even among doctors treating the problem.
Myth #2:
Migraines are annoying and uncomfortable, but there’s nothing life-threatening about them.
Reality:
Migraines can induce several life-threatening conditions such as stroke, aneurysms and coma.
27% of all strokes experienced by those under the age of 45 are preceded by a severe migraine headache. 25% of all cerebral infarctions are associated with migraines. In addition, studies have also found links between migraines and epileptic seizures.
Myth #3:
Migraines are nothing more than really bad headaches.
Reality:
The headache is really just a symptom of a disease and the cause of the migraine pain is the opposite of the cause of the headache pain. Migraines are a disease that are genetically based. Those with a single parent who experience migraines themselves have a 50% chance of developing migraines.
Myth #4:
Migraines are psychological in nature, caused by external environmental factors.
Reality:
A migraine is a neurological disease, not a disorder.
Migraines truly are neurological diseases, caused by physiological and not psychological triggers. Migraines happen when cranial blood vessels dilate, causing nerve endings to release serotonin, a crucial factor in the development of the headache.
Myth #5:
Only women suffer from headaches.
Reality:
Women, men, adults and children all suffer from migraines.
While it’s true that the overwhelming majority of migraine patients are adult women, a significant number of suffers are male and an increasing number of children are being treated not just for migraines but for a particular type called abdominal migraines.
Myth #6:
There’s no doubting about whether that headache you’re suffering is really a migraine or not. If you’ve got a migraine, you’ll know it.
Reality:
Millions of people suffer from migraines without having been correctly diagnosed or thinking that it’s just a regular tension headache.
Myth #7:
If you aren’t suffering from the most severe symptoms like nausea and auras, then it’s probably not a migraine.
Reality: Only 20% of migraine suffers experience the kind associated with auras. And many never experience the more extreme symptoms such as nausea or vomiting.
Myth #8:
My headaches are triggered by allergies or changes in the weather conditions; therefore they are probably sinus headaches.
Reality:
Allergic reactions and changes in the weather can trigger migraines, but they are never the cause. In addition, migraines are offer accompanied by symptoms such as a runny nose or watery eyes that can be mistaken for sinus-based headaches.
Myth #9:
Migraines are caused by stress and tension.
Reality:
Again stress and tension can be triggers for migraines, but unlike tension headaches, migraines are not actually caused by any rise in your tension or stress levels.
Myth #10:
Only hypersensitive, uptight, perfectionist, compulsive types get migraines.
Reality: Research has been concluded that there is no such thing as a particular personality type who develops migraines. Therefore, put to rest all misconceptions you may have about a so-called “migraine personality."
Myth #11:
You can make the pain go away and feel better if you take more medication.
Reality: Far from providing relief, exceeding the recommended dosage of migraine medication may do far more harm than good. In fact, taking more medicine than recommended could result in even more serious health problems.
Myth #12:
People who complain about migraine headaches are just lazy slackers trying to get out of work.
Reality: Migraines are one of the most disabling diseases around. It disrupts lifestyles, affects relationships and is the cause behind over 10,000 annual visits to a physician each year. Most people who take days off from work due to migraines would be more than willing to trade in the pain for the work.
Myth #: 13
People bring migraines on themselves. It’s psychosomatic, man.
Reality: Only to the extent that heart disease or diabetes is brought on by sufferers. Migraines have a physiological cause that takes place inside one’s head. That does not mean that it is all in your head!

According to the American Council for Headache Education (ACHE), school nurses treat an average of at least ten students a month for headache complaints. Many of these turn to be migraine headaches. If you thought migraine was just an adult disease, consider the following statistics.
Recurring headaches occur in 38% to 83% of children 7 to15 year of age
Recurring headaches occur in 1% to 37% of children 3 to 6 years of age
Migraine headaches occur in approximately 1.2% to 11% of children.
Headaches in children is a far more serious problem that most people realize. The truth is that most kids under eighteen have headaches several times a year, typically either tension headaches or migraines, though children certain cannot be considered immune to cluster headaches. The frequency of migraines rises among females once they enter puberty; far more teenaged girls experience migraines than teenaged boys. This disparity is usually linked to estrogen changes the begin with the onset of menstruation.
There are several warning signs that indicate that migraines may be a problem. A child need not be complaining of more than a few of these in order to be concerned about the possibility that he is suffering from migraines. Just one or two may be enough to warrant further investigation. School is certainly an environment that is conducive to several of these symptoms and so even if a student does complain of two or three of these that also doesn’t necessarily mean that migraines are the cause.
Be aware not only of a student complaining about things, but also the consistency and the context. For instance, if student exhibits signs of nausea and must leave the room suddenly to vomit, it could be a sign of a migraine, or it could just be a math test next period. A student suffering from migraine often exhibits personality changes. This may be unusual in elementary school, but once a student makes it to the upper levels of education, you can pretty much guarantee personality changes. Be especially attuned to statements by the student indicating that the severity of the current headache is the worst he’s ever experienced. This is definitely something be concerned about. If the student is running a fever of complains about a stiff neck, a migraine could very possibly be the root the cause.
It’s very important for teachers to take an active role in identifying students who may be suffering from migraines. Headaches, especially migraines, can seriously undermine the entire school experience. In addition to affecting the student’s academic performance, headaches may also curtail the student’s desire and ability take part in activities and extracurricular fun. Headaches may even be a sign of more serious trouble, from depression to a tumor. Teachers also present a secondary authority source that may be less threatening to the student that family members; she may be more comfortable confiding about a history of headaches in you than in her parents.
Finally, there are some things a teacher can do to help students who suffer from headaches. They won’t necessarily relieve the pain and they certainly won’t solve the problem, but they could help and they certainly won’t hurt.
Children and teens should drink at least 4 to 8 glasses of fluid a day so if your school policy allows permits, allow students to bring water bottles to your class.
It is recommended that children get 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night so why not help them achieve that by giving them a little extra time to get their homework done before going home, offer extra encouragement for them to get sleep.
Certain foods such processed meats, cheeses, caffeine, chocolate can trigger a migraine so if you notice your student who is suffering from headaches is constantly ingesting some or all of these, advise him to abstain.
Stress and uncertain schedules often trigger migraines, so if you notice the student is taking on too much, arrange a conference with his parents to discuss the possibility that rearranging his schedule may contribute to lessening his headaches.
Believe the child when he complains of headaches and send him to the clinic.
