When it's your turn to settle down, please look for one and cleave to. Set Example for others to emulate. It's a different ball game if the mental issue started in marriage and not when such is imported. This is irrespective of Gender!

Pls. don't encourage others to embrace such for the sake of Love, because when the problem starts you will be million miles away.
Mental issue started in marriage? Have you yourself ever gone to get yourself mentally evaluated or are you, like the vast majority of Nigerians out there, operating under the assumption that if you have never been evaluated, you are in the free and clear? undecided

Let me tell you something you are probably ignorant of. You see those people you call mogs and pastors, particularly those who claim to see spirits and spew all that spiritual jargon at you which many of you swallow without second thought? The probability is pretty high that they are instead mentally ill. And you know what that in turn says of you, their gullible followers and "spiritual " children? lipsrsealed

Not everybody who attacks their partner has a real/medical diagnosable mental disorder. Many are questionable personality traits bt these partners overlook it and think it’s just how they are. It actually a time bomb waiting for the right trigger than anything normal.

Emotional balance and temperament are key markers and culprits in such cases. The good part is they can be helped once they are confronted and given appropriate guidance and direction.

Anger applied wrongly can cause a lot of damage.

The funny thing is drug and alcohol addiction are what leads to violence not mental illness.

Manageable if diagnosed early.
I was supportive. I was always there for her but her parents �
They were unnecessarily difficult, so much for being vastly educated and highly placed in the society. They turned diabolical. Instead of allowing her to use her medicines, they took it away from her. They forced her to stay in a celestial church for 3 months. I was always traveling from Delta to Lagos every weekend. They stopped me from communicating or seeing her as well...
See ehn there's a lot and stuffs


So blame the parents who probably always thought their daughter was possessed and treated her as such.

Ta. It's mostly genetic. If it runs in your family na you sabi

Could be a trait you picked up from a grandparent that somehow skipped your parent. I'm aware it's genetic. That's why my point still stands. The fact that no one in her immediate family has mental illness doesn't mean her own children won't pick it up from a recessive Gene. Besides she might end up with a guy that treated himself to a point that he could pass for normal most times

Asperger's is more of a neurodevelopment disorder than a personality disorder.

But it is a personality disorder because it affects the personality

So what happens to unconditional love?
This post screams selfishness, selfishness, selfishness!


Anxiety, mood disorders and schizophrenia disorders happen to people, and they can be managed.
What if you were the one with any of the disorders? undecided
Abeg make una getat
are you OK?
Love is unconditional but marriage is not.
You are to love your mother, a lady of opposite genotype, your sister and even your enemy, but can you marry them?

OCD and NPD are stark different. Haba. You can't put the two in the same box. Do your research well.


I know they are different, but I do not think that fellow does. This is a general topic about different mental health disorders.

I am asking the person a specific question for a reason and not you.

If you do a research, you would know the difference clearly, but if you are ignorant like the person I am asking, you would not know the difference. You would not even know someone has OCD if you are ignorant of how mental health works, even less likely to spot NPD.

I am asking that guy specifically, because I want to know how far his understanding of mental health issues go, I am not asking because I think both disorders the same.

Please, follow conversations before you quote. Thank you.

If you want to have a discussion with me out of nowhere, I will need you to not come at me as if we had a previous engagement, which we did not.

I will not engage you henceforth, because it is too early in the day to get riled up by someone who is clearly more interested in making trouble than having a clear conversation.

That you read everything I wrote and only picked out that line despite my thorough explanation, is testament to your actual intention.

I will wait for the response of the person I asked a question, you can go about your day and find someone else to entertain yourself.

The disorders I mentioned aren't treatable, sir. Only people with low self esteem stay in unhealthy relationships.

The Association between mental disorders and Geniuses

These same class of people whose genes you denigrate have shown themselves to be superior in all other areas than those of you who pretend to have none of their problems, yet you persist in thinking they are toxic and not worth marrying? undecided

Which of the personality disorders I mentioned do you have?
Re: This Is Why You Must Evaluate A Person's Mental Health Before Dating Or Marriage by Mikael0407(m): 11:02am On Feb 10, 2022
I think everyone has some form of mental disorder especially we Nigerians. The world is too tough a place for anyone to live in without experiencing mental breakdowns once in a while.

I didn't generalize all mental health conditions. I was specific. And I'm asking here again which of those you have for me to understand where you're coming from.

Please I'm going to assume you don't know anything about mental illness. Let me educate you.
Most mental illnesses can be treated (but not cured). That's why we have therapy, drugs, psychiatric hospitals.
Mental illness can only be bad if it's not managed. Once a person manages their illness (taking drugs, therapy, etc) they can easily pass for normal.

Bros, women all over the world prefer a man with a flat stomach compared to a fat man. Let's not make excuses for chubby people except they have a genetic disorder that prevents them from losing weight. Nigerian women don't really care about your physique as long as you can afford to take care of them.
TheABOMINATION:
This should serve as a lesson to Nigerian girls that insist on dating a muscled guy instead of a man with big stomach, you will have to take the good with the bad that accompanies it.
