Search Results: mental abuse

I have a friend and he has been acting strange lately. Personally, I think he may be having a mental breakdown. He told me about stuff that has been going on in his life and that when he was younger he was abused. He said no one has ever loved him and that he has never been kissed and he is 21 years old. Is it odd of him to say that?

Some are, some aren't listed as disabilities, and even if they aren't, if you can prove that what you have is debilitating enough, you can receive disability benefits, at least, in the USA you can. I don't know about other countries. Some mental illnesses listed are schizophrenia, mental retardation, autistic disorders, anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, and substance abuse disorders.

People argue that mental disability is so hard to prove, that it will just enable people to be dependent on welfare and not work and will be abused. Some think even if you have a mental disorder, you can work some type of job, even if it's just being a janitor or washing dishes because mental illness isn't a physical impairment like diabetes, weight issues, arthritis, etc. plus the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires employers to work around your illness to a point. Others say mental illness can cause such impairment for some people that they should qualify for disability benefits.

Should mental illness qualify for disability benefits?

I was on yahoo answers doing naughty things. I like to make up fake people and create fake scenarios and see how people would react to them and see if I can find any interesting responses. I know, but does this make me crazy?

so on one yahoo question I pretended I was a girl in an rude relationship. Her boyfriend would run and hide if she saw him naked, he wouldn't let her touch him. Not even for a hug or kiss. he'd hit her hands away and scream. If he got really upset he'd give her the silent treatment. The guy never called her pretty or beautiful but he did other women. One day they got into a argument and she grabbed his hand. His reaction was push her to the ground, leave the room and slam the door.

He would also tell her he hated her, and would push her if she got too close to him. but at night he'd watch her sleep, make dinner and kiss her cheeks.

everyone in the comment section told me he was a jerk, he was crazy and the two needed to break up. Everyone said break up and he was a bad boyfriend. The whole question got 17 answers all degrading the guy.

So I asked the same question called. My girlfriend makes me feel like crap. But this time she'd bite him, pee in his bed, cry and hit him for not doing what she wanted. Often. It only got 4 responses and everyone told him the girl just had mental issues and stay with her despite the abuse.

Double standards much? We need to do something.. What do you think of my findings?
