Diet pills and mental health?

Question:

Has anyone in the world ever gotten a mental disorder such as schizophrenia from overdosing on diet pills? I have schizophrenia and it came shortly after I was not eating and taking many many diet pills. (I was trying to stay stick thin like a runway model). People tell me that I probably got schizo because of hereditary reasons, but I feel like I was completely healthy before I started taking the pills. I got schizo around 20 years old. I don't want to believe that the schizo is hereditary, but is it even POSSIBLE to get schizophrenia from OVERDOSING on diet pills? I know I was dumb please don't tell me.

Answer:
Schizo has nothing to do with the diet pills. IT usually starts to appear around early 20's. Diet pills are dangerous and will mess you up if you are takign antidepressants or anti psychotics. Relax, you didn't do this to yourself..If you research your family history, I bet you will find somene who also had it..even though it may not have been dx.

I'm no doctor, but I think your schizophrenia, your body image issues, and your overdosing are all related to something more fundamental, like perhaps something traumatic in your past? As we live, our experiences build on a foundation that supports the next experience, and colors that experience as good or bad. If something traumatized you early on, then you have a flaw or weakness in the base of your foundation, which causes every other experience to be affected, off balance, and distorted. You may not even remember or realize a trauma. Please continue your treatment for schizophrenia, and talk to your doctor about your concerns. If you can readdress a trauma, you could get everything else to fall into place.

there might be a slight posiblity. i have had many problems that have arose from taking to many diet pills but none that serious. why would it be bad if it was hereditary? its not like it was your choice or your parents. age 20 is a common age for people to develop such problems though. just make sure that you get the proper care for it because it is managable. good luck.

Hi,
I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).

I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills... . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)
