A friend of yours mistakenly thinks that a person with multiple personalities and a person with schizophrenia have the same condition. Explain to your friend why these two conditions are different.

Multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia are two different conditions because both have different conditions and symptoms and the persons facing with these types of disorders behave differently. Multiple personality disorder is a type of disorder in which the person is characterized with two or more different or split personalities and these personalities have control over the person’s behavior. A multiple personality disorder occurs due to the psychological response to the environmental stress especially during the childhood years when the children are neglected emotionally or are abused or the person have pass through some life-threatening problems and traumas and the person is completely disassociated with his personal identity. But on the other hand, schizophrenia is a disorder in which the person is dealing with several problems including the problems with thinking, emotions or the behavior. The symptoms of schizophrenia are delusions, disorganized speech, hallucinations, negative symptoms including the lack of hygiene or lack of emotions and as well as the abnormal behavior. The person going through the schizophrenia disorder beliefs on the delusions, they have hallucinations due to this their speaking and communication power is affected. They are afraid all the time. They withdraw themselves from family and friends and drop their performance in school or at any working place and have lack of motivation. There is a huge difference between multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia due to different symptoms and different conditions and different personal behaviors and how they react to situations are completely different.

OCD and Bipolar Disorder are 2 disorders that are commonly spoken about incorrectly in society.  It is a big pet peeve of mine when someone passively says "oh I'm so OCD because I like my shirts folded a certain way" or "that girl is bipolar because she is mad one day and happy the next".  Have you heard people misrepresent these terms?  There's a difference in being picky vs having an OCD diagnosis.  There's a difference in being moody/dramatic and having a bipolar diagnosis.  Please discuss the criteria for actually being diagnoses with these disorders and why people should not throw these terms around lightly.

OCD and the bipolar disorders are a problem for the people who are facing these disorders and are suffering from mental illness. It is unethical to sue these terms lightly around the surroundings. OCD the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a common yet chronic disease which is long lasting and in which the person has uncontrollable obsessions and compulsions which they urge to repeat again and again. And these obsessions are related to all aspects of life. And these obsessions are thoughts that are repeated and the urge to repeat their obsessions and the mental images as these things cause anxiety in a person and the person suffers a lot if they do not repeat these actions or obsessions. The people with OCD disorders are diagnosis with different symptoms like the fear of germs, unwanted forbidden thoughts, having the thins in a symmetrical order and also aggressive thoughts towards the other person and towards oneself. And moreover, excessive cleaning of the hands, ordering and rearranging the things again and again. On the other hand, Bipolar disorder is a form of manic depression and is a serious mental health condition in which the person suffers with extreme mood swings and high and low levels of depression. The person who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder have the following symptoms including; weird behavior, less desire to sleep, increased energy and activity, they are poor while decision making, different racing thoughts and unusual talkativeness moreover it also includes, depressed mood, significant weight loss, inability to think properly, slowed behavior. These are symptoms of the persons who are diagnosed with OCD and bipolar disorder and we should not use these words lightly in the public because these are harmful disorders.

What is meant by the term "directive" and "non-directive" in regards to therapy sessions?  What types of therapists are directive?  What types of therapists are non-directive?  Do you have any general take-aways about this concept?

There is a difference between the directive therapists and the non-directive therapist during the therapy session. In the Directive therapy, the therapists lead the process and the therapists guides the client by overviewing their problems and behaviors and lead him to a new direction. The therapists has a direct approach and he understands the client by observing keenly and then the therpaists leads the patient according to him and guide him through the problems he/she is facing while in the non-directive therapy, the client is leading the process and in this process the therapist practice the neutrality, means that he maintains the curiosity, accept the interests of the client and respect the point of view of the client and in this process, the therapists does not take a position against the client and their behavior or any particular outcome.

I am more into the directive therapy bruise sometimes the person doesn’t know what he is going through and need some guidance to straighten up his life properly. So, in the directive therapy session the therapist understands the client and their problems and guide them with a batter solution and in this way the client will lead a path set but the therapists to overcome the problems in his life. Bot the therapies re effective but I have a good perspective about the directive therapy.
