Personality Disorders
It is a persistent chronic disorder in a person’s behavior, style, thinking and feelings that leads to the emergence of characteristics that are poorly adapted to the environment, and the consequent professional and social imbalance. These traits exceed the fluctuations that most people have, but they are usually accepted by the person and therefore they rarely consult a psychiatrist.

The Truth About Neurodiversity - The Vibrant Spectrum of Variations Between Human Brains
Neurodiversity is a term used to describe the variation in human brain function and wiring. Neurodiversity combines everything from neurotypical individuals – the majority of the population – to neurodivergent people. Neurodivergence includes conditions like autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Neurodivergent individuals often have unique strengths and abilities that can contribute to creativity and innovation in the workplace. Many companies are recognizing the value of neurodiversity and are implementing policies and programs to support employees with different neurological profiles.

ADHD
As I write this, I am currently waiting on a referral to see if I have ADHD, but all signs point to the disorder. At 36, this is the first time I have ever considered it as a possibility, despite always knowing that I am 'different'. My referral did not come from a doctor diagnosing me or noticing the symptom, it has never been even suggested in my whole life. No, I came to the conclusion on my own after viewing videos and posts online from friends telling me how the disorder affects them. Bit by bit, it started to make sense and I finally called the doctor about it. They felt there was sufficient evidence to send me to an expert.

Understanding All or Nothing Thinking
There are times in everyone’s life where it seems like nothing is going their way. Their favorite football team keeps losing, they don't like the way their hair looks, or their local McDonald's seems to never have a working ice cream machine. It's times like these that people may start thinking in extremes. "The Jets will never make the playoffs" or "My hair always looks so greasy."

Particularly sensitive Riikka has suffered from an eating disorder, addiction and depression: “I think everyone who is severely depressed has suicidal thoughts because their existence is so painful then”
As a child, Riikka Rintasalo was supposed to be a girl of ten. It brought him an eating disorder and three major depressive episodes. During each period of her depression, Riikka has been convinced that other people would be better off without her. "A sore mind can't see any further."

Unstable Energy and Trust
We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.

Behaviorism or Behavioral psychology
Behaviorism is a theory that says that when you react to a behavior, even if it is not directly related to your own self, you are still in some way psychologically influenced by it. For example (and this is very different from the Pavlov theory), say your best friend and your worst enemy are both going to the same restaurant. You like your best friend, but you hate your worst enemy. You see them both, and you say "I think I'm going to go, too." And so you do. You went because your best friend did. You were psychologically influenced by your best friend's behavior, even though your best friend's action had nothing to do with you.
