This week's vocabulary list is dedicated to mental health terminology.
Depressive Disorder (or clinical depression): a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
Anxiety Disorder: A mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities; including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and various phobia-related disorders.
Bi-Polar Disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness or manic depression): is a mental disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, concentration, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent, or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as hypomanic episodes.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (commonly called OCD): a personality disorder characterized by excessive orderliness, perfectionism, attention to details, and a need for control in relating to others. OCD is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to compulsive behaviors.
Sexually Compulsive Behavior (noun): sometimes called hypersexuality, hypersexuality disorder or sexual addiction. It's an excessive preoccupation with sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors that is difficult to control, causes you distress, or negatively affects your health, job, relationships or other parts of your life
Schizophrenia (noun): a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation.

The Finale?
Is this the end of the season? Is this the end of the podcast? Is it the end of the podcast as we know it? Friends, your guess is as good as mine. I know it's been two months since you've heard from me, and I can't say when you'll hear from me on this pod again. What I can say is that I've learned a lot with you, and I can only hope that you've learned a lot from the time that you've invested in me. Such humble and deep felt thanks to each and everyone of you who have listened. This train is headed into the train yard. But that doesn't mean the ride has to be over. A new train is pulling out of the station soon. Come along for the ride! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support
Friends of Friends

It can be awful and the night can be ruined. In this episode, passion talks about the pros and cons of bringing your friends together. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support

Friends with...YOURSELF!!!!
How'd Beyoncé say it? "Me, myself and I: that's all I got in the end. That's what I found out. And it ain't no need to cry; I took a vow that from now on Ima be my own best friend." Are you a friend to yourself? Have you ever thought about it? Passion says she's been a great friend to everyone but herself. In today's episode she and her special guest, Dena Bilbrew, Life Coach and Career Coach, talk about why it's important to be your own friend, where that starts, and how to do it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support
K(NO)W New Friends
Which one are you? Why? In today's episode, passion sits and talks with the infamous Barry (IG: @barryantoine) that she and Cory speak of so frequently. They discuss their positions on making space for new friends or closing the circle and only allowing people to be as high up as "associate" in the friendship hierarchy if they haven't been around before the last ten years. Let's make Barry feel welcome, Friends!
