| I believe I am not all that bright and it wasn't just with my IQ score but life skills as well. My most recent IQ test was last year and My Full scale IQ score was a measly 89. Previous to that was 82. I've had numerous IQ tests and it has been relatively consistent. As for classes it was wildly dif... |

| I have had my IQ tested many times and they were relatively consistent. Usually between 78-89. The most recent one I took a few weeks ago was the 89 score. That is low average. I have tested once at 101 but that wasn't accurate for a few reasons. So I just say 78-89. Some are borderline intellectual... |

When I had symptoms of psychosis, the delusions were worse than the hallucinations. The only problem is that even with my weirdest delusions ... |

I did have a manic episode last year but it was induced by meds and a combination of meds. Things like technology I am extremely hopeful for, but when I look at my own li... |

The abscess was so severe it made my face swell up and the docs were worried that the infection would get in the bloodstream. Luckily they took care of the infection but I the... |

I have had bizarre side effects with a mood stabilizer, Lamictal. Thank you btw. No side effects with Latu... |

| Have you tried Latuda yet? I have been on so many anti-psychotics in my life, but now I am on Latuda and it works great! Very very little hallucinations, and only when I am very stressed. As for my diagnosis it depends on the doctor, its either schizoaffective bipolar type or bipolar 1 with psychoti... |

| It depends on the subject. If its abnormal psychology, yes I "intellectually" intimidate people. I have even taught psychologists and psychiatrists things they didn't know and technically I never went to med school! Sometimes I even use words (not psychology) that others don't know. I don't know if ... |
