Talk:Hypergraphia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a psychiatric patient of 6 years, I was always told I suffered from Depression and schizophrenia. Recently, upon meeting with my new psychiatrist, I was told what I "suffer" from might actually be Hypergraphia. Everything I've read thus far on the illness is exactly me, but I am having trouble finding in depth inormation as opposed to defination. If anyone has any info, or knows where I can get some, your help would be entirely appreciated.

• The main character of Quills (film) could be said to have Hypergraphia. -- Sy / ^(talk) 01:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Google Alice Flaherty. There's a lot of press on her or read her book about it called "The Midnight Disease."

[edit] Stub

I've made this topic a stub. The recent use of this in CSI:NY got me interested, but there is not enough information on Wikipedia.

Hope someone can expand on it

And I've added the causes of Hypergraphia too...not completely, but halfway thru. Not too free now. Can someone be so kind to help out? p/s: Add a content box at the top too.. I don't really know how to do that

The paragraph about the various parts of the brain that are involved in the act of writing is relevant, but does it really belong under the "Causes" heading?

Oh the irony. The article for Hypergraphia is a fscking stub. Excellent. :) --Kim

[edit] Experience With Medication

I was, for several years, very hypergraphic, while at the time I was taking Risperdal for my schizoaffective disorder. A few months ago, I switched to Zyprexa instead. It works better at relieving my symptoms, but I notice that I don't write much anymore.

My wife would say that's a good thing :-/ but I'm not sure I like it.

I also recently bought Alice Flaherty's book The Midnight Disease, and have read enough of it that I can recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about Hypergraphia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MichaelCrawford (talk • contribs) 02:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
