Does “abuse” by Another Cause a Person to Have a Psychiatric Disorder? What Is the Diagnosis in This Case?
Question by HREPrincess: Does “abuse” by another cause a person to have a psychiatric disorder? What is the diagnosis in this case?
I’m writing about an individual who was oppressed, abused, ridiculed, and neglected during childhood to the point of not talking and hiding (even as a child of 2 or 3 hid in a closet to avoid the mother). This continued to some extent into teenage years. Many mistakes were made and opportunities lost even as an adult. The person is now able to join in conversations without the “tremendous” fear that was present in past years, joins in group activities, etc., but is still somewhat socially withdrawn. This person was “damaged” by another, but is this a psychiatric disorder? The person is very intelligent (IQ 150+) and has no problem conversing about common interests. One otherwise would not be aware of the problem just to observe from a distance. This is definitely not Asperger’s. What is the diagnosis?

How Do We Know Marijuana Helps Medicinally?
Question by Anna D: How do we know marijuana helps medicinally?
My friend told me that there are credible peer reviewed studies that the subject of marijuana which say so.
Just because a study is peer reviewed doesn’t make it credible! Unfortunately, we have no “real” (aka, evidence based, empirically speaking, “facts”) data on the herb. the fact that it works for some people *nudge* is subjective and even then, it doesn’t always work; there are a lot of multidimensional causes and effects.

Do I Kick Him Out or Not?
Question by Susan S: Do I kick him out or not?
Last fall I took in a friend of a friend. He was destitute and I helped him and his two pre-teen boys. But now I am frustrated and need guidance. HELP!! He regularly smokes crack cocaine. I continued to pay all the bills in the house. Now he lost the boys to DSS (he strips them naked and beat him savagedly with an extension cord until the skin bleeds when he was “upset”). I called DSS! Yes, I did. To save those babies. He has sex with the 16 year old upstairs (he’s 45) and I am repulsed by he sight of him. Now it is he and I living in my house and he complains about having to sleep on an old mattress and tries to expect me to do more around the house after working a full-time job. He has no job or income. So I pay all the bills and put all the food in the house. He cooks “sometimes” but when he doesn’t cook, I bring in fast food. He has a bottomless supply of cigarettes and beer. But he complains that I need to do more around the house. When I mention to friends or family of ours (both of us) that my cup runneth over (I’m sick of his shit, my home is not a sanctuary, I hate and dread coming home after work), everyone tells me not to do. Today I found out I got a job offer in my hometown and I want it. I’ll be near my friends (my real, college educated, professional friends), but everyone tells me not to take it. Mrs. Stevens even said if I kick him out, the karma will come back negatively on me, but I feel like I’ve done more than my share and put up with more than any woman would accept. Just looking at him makes me sick. He is always complaining, but does nothing to contribute to this home. So I ask this community…what to do?
If I take the job, I’ll move home and be close to my family and friends. I will triple my salary. I don’t understand what is wrong with this.
OK, wow, I can see what the consensus is. Thanks. One point: he is not having sex is his own child, but a child of someone else upstairs. It makes me want to vomit, but it isn’t his own child and not in my home.
