What type of mental disorder is this?!


Question:

What type of mental disorder is this?

My mother wants to know for her reference, in how she should deal with this person - This woman constantly writes on her wrists/arms when she is nervous, hears voices in her head, and is constantly nervous. Based on a sociology course I took before, I am convinced it's schizophrenia... Please share your insight, if any!


Answers:

Voices - depends on whether this woman hears them from inside of her or as if they are outside. If the voices come from outside, then she may be schizophrenic. If the voices come from within her, then she may be dissociative.
Writing on her wrists/arms may or may not have to do with the voices. She sounds overwhelmed and may write on her body to try to keep track of herself.
Best bet for your mother is to be kind, and to encourage this person to get some help.
