Subject: Re: Open Eyes Sleeping and Mental Disorder ? HELP ! : Hi, I was wondering if you perhaps can help me about some worrying questions She is 22 and she still sleeps with her eyes opened, half closed let's say. I don't know if it's important but in the morning she always has a She is quite irritable, and become really mad, e.g. when she hurts her She is also very obsessed by her image, she likes a lot to be taken in Most of the time she is nice, but she can change suddendly of mood. Her father is also like that, nice but suddendly because they feel Can you tell me if open eyes is a symptom of something at this age ? She becomes really hungry and touched when you try slowly to tell her she Thanks in advance and sorry for my tarzan english... Sincerely
= There is no link that I know of between the sort of behavioral problems you describe and sleeping with the eyes half open. The eye issue is probably not relevant and I would not worry about it, The smell of acetone on the breath is associated with liver disease but to be significant the person would have to have very late advanced liver disease with jaundice. As regards the behavioral problems this sounds like poor impulse control and a certain degree of immaturity but does not fit the criteria for a major psychological disorder. I would be very reluctant to tell her that she is mad, these are probably only exaggerated personality traits, a psychologist would probably be able to help her with srtategies to control anger and other i mpulses |
