Thank you. Like I said some therapists/ psychologists/ and even psychiatrists are people that don't understand. They probably have a low IQ or something. Also I believe that someone really doesn't understand mental illness until they go through it themselves. Recently my brother had to have a hearing for his SSI. The judge was a jerk because he didn't understand autism. In another case someone with severe depression was trying for SSI. The judge told her, "just snap out of it!" and when told that she sleeps 20 hours a day, he responded, "Why are you still tired after sleeping 20 hours?" There are times when the bipolar part of my schizoaffective gets bad (depression especially) I sleep most of the day and when I do get up I go on the computer. When I was on Haldol a few months back, I WAS sleeping 20 hours a day and was still tired. So side effects of pills can cause hypersomnia.
Thanks for this!
