This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. This is more to bring awareness to the issue and see some solidarity with the manga-reading community. Do not feel like you need to post a comment about your own situation if you aren't comfortable discussing it. Your choice in the poll cannot be tied back to you.

Edit: Added "Other" and "Multiple" as choices

You can submit poll ideas here

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Do you wear glasses?
Choices:
No, but I had laser eye surgery - votes: 156 (2.3%)
No, I've never needed them - votes: 1448 (21.6%)
No, but I wear contacts - votes: 261 (3.9%)
No, but I probably should - votes: 580 (8.6%)
Yes, but only for specific things (driving, reading, etc.) - votes: 1113 (16.6%)
Yes, all the time - votes: 3161 (47%)
There were 6719 total votes.
The poll ended: August 25th 2018

I'm surprised that so few people wear contacts. And I'm also surprised how many people have bad vision...

In the current poll there should be an option "More than one of the above". It's common to have more than one disorder and it's not easy to choose which to list.

I need multiple choice for this. ?

None i guess, as dyslexia isn´t on the list. Who knows if i have it for sure but the symptoms are somewhat there. I´ll survive.

dyslexia is more of a learning disability rather than a mental health condition. I don't know what the protocols are in your country but in the U.S you can definitely get diagnosed as an adult if you still need to do "school-ish" things (take exams, read things for work, etc.)

None. At least none to my knowledge.
Though maybe mild anxiety, mildest that can be considered, the kind one can overcome momentarily and very easily. So, not even sure if it counts at all.

And this ⬇ definitely sometimes.



But, it's not a ' mental health condition '.

Unfortunately, the poll system we have doesn't allow choosing multiple. Yes, it sucks...

BPD 2. I remember staying at the ward, we weren't supposedly allowed gadgets there but I did manage to sneak a phone into my locker. Read Boku dake ga inai machi to kill some time.

I agree that this poll suffers from the inability of choosing multiple options. I wonder how many will do as I have, and chose "multiple":
* Some form of depression (or possibly something very similar).
* Irregular sleep–wake rhythm (a very seriously disabling disability)
* Low energy, for some reason(s). (it periodically fluctuates. Sometimes I'm fine, sometimes I don't have enough energy to even watch TV [you'd think that doesn't even require energy, but...]. most of the time, I'm a bit low on energy)

Maybe a few others, but nothing that is too noticeable. At least not when the above three, overshadows all other problems.

BTW... autism is a mental condition, yes, but shouldn't necessarily be grouped in, among disabilities/disorders. If you include conditions that aren't really disabilities/disorders, but simply neuroatypical in some fashion, then I have one or two of those. Dunno which, exactly.

Is apathy a mental condition?

I have social anxiety instead of depression, but it's stuff like that which makes me feel bad. Why should I stop doing something I enjoy and makes me happy?

No, but it can be part of several mental conditions.

Edit: If one has sufficiently strong and persistent apathy (and it's not merely a part of mourning, or some other normal, temporary, condition), then that would be some form of mental condition ...but it wouldn't be called mere "apathy".

Edit2: To all:
Never feel ashamed of having a mental condition (we generally don't feel ashamed of physical conditions, so why should we be ashamed of mental ones?), or stay away from psychologists/psychiatrists, because of shame. If you have any kind of condition like these, get professional help. (this can be good, even for those conditions that aren't disorders diseases, but merely different, so as to be better equipped to adapt to society, as well as managing your life [the normal tips and advice doesn't necessarily apply, after all])
