is he schizophrenic?

[oddballmisfitsFTW]

he has hated Keeley from day one for no reason

yet it seems he was the one who carried keeley after her injury

AND he had a go at Ben saying he didnt care enough about Keeley

WTF is that about?

schizo?

or is it for benefit of viewers, so they think aww JJ such a gentleman

[as90]

No, it's the pressure of being in the house.

[Josy]

No.

[Caroline592]

Surely even if you do not like someone you help them if they get injured.

[cell]

Please look up the symptoms of schizophrenia, he is not schizophrenic and it is stupid to think he is. Schizophrenia is a very scary disease and he would not be anywhere near sane in there if he had it and was unmedicated. BB has put in some unstable people in the past but no one with a known mental condition.

[Alpertinator]

Smeagol is schizoprhenic. JJ is no Smeagol.

[oddballmisfitsFTW]

Surely even if you do not like someone you help them if they get injured.

some people yes, but I dont think JJ is that type of person

and what reason he have for having a go at Ben, only reason for that would be if it was a friend who was injured, not an enemy

[GypsyGoth]

JJ does not have a mental illness.

[Ninastar]

no idea but I dont get how he can hate her! Look at her face! its so cute.

[Colbert-Bump]

aren't we all?

[cell]

Surely even if you do not like someone you help them if they get injured.

Keeley was already helped, she was in bed with ice on her ankle and about 6 HM's sitting all around her on the bed.
Does anyone think that some people actually prefer to be left alone when their not feeling well, some people just want peace and quiet and not to have 10 people crowded around playing doctor.
Corin told her that the pain in her ankle has caused "shock" I don't think she knows what medical shock really is, last think Keeley needed was another person putting in their 2 cents about her busted ankle, they just had to wait for the DR.
Also from what I saw on LF Ben was sitting behind Keely helping her sit up and rubbing her shoulders, I guess no one else saw that though, especially not JJ as it wouldn't be convenient for him.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

aw he carried her? what a man he is. hes every man rolled into one.

[ange7]

I don't even get this thread?

[Zippy]

Schizo, aspergers...etc

Why can't he just be a cu nt? Seriously.

[oddballmisfitsFTW]

I don't even get this thread?

JJ said Ben was not as concerned as he should be about Keeley. Whether Ben was or was not concerned is not the point.
I just want to know JJ's motive for being annoyed at Ben. Keeley is not his friend, he doesn't like her.

Only reason I can think of is it was just a chance to try make Ben look bad

[ange7]

Or JJ wanted to point out TO BEN, Ben's two faced nature. How's that close to JJ being schizophrenic? That's what I meant about not getting the idea of this thread.
JJ tells Ben what he thinks ... at least Ben gets a right of reply. Ben tells Josie, Dave Corin etc what he thinks of JJ. Gutless. Just because Ben qualifies his attacks with "Oh a really like JJ but...." that doesn't mean he isn't having a "pop".

[ange7]

Schizo, aspergers...etc

Corin has cornered that market.

[SFGiantsfan]

No. He probably has a form of depression like PTSD or any other.

Hes just a tw*t

:joker: Indeed.

Sounds more like Josie to me!

Do you understand what schizophrenia really is ?

[Angus]

Surely even if you do not like someone you help them if they get injured.

And it needs How Many people to flock around and "help"? JJ just grandstanding as usual for some air time to show the public what a "caring and concerned" person he is.

JJ has a psychopathic personality - who in their right minds checks train timetables to catch his mates out in lies, or records telephone conversations to play back to people to catch them out in lies, and if they fib to him, they are out of his life FOREVER? He's a nutcase, but if his obnoxious personality floats some deluded peoples' boats, good luck to them.

One day his supposed good looks will fade, and all that will be left is a wizened, angry and probably very lonely old man - that's if he makes it to old age and someone has kicked the sh*t out of him in the meantime. (beauty fades, dumb is forever).

[calyman]

He definitely appears to suffer from some mental illness but it most certainly isn't scizophrenia. I think it's more likely that he has some combination of OCD and that he displays clear sociopathic trends.

He insists on things being as he wants them, he insists on people telling the "truth", though this requirment doesn't necessarily apply to himself. He records friends telephone conversations and will go to extraordinary lengths to prove unimportant points about what is said.

He holds people to account for any perceived wrongdoing, though again he himself is not bound by such strictures. He will obsess on the most innocuous things, like his irrational hatred/friendship of Ben/Josie.

He displays no real human warmth or empathy towards others, will suddenly alter his emotions if key words are said by others. He pretends ignorance of others motives, yet indicates he knows exactly what they are thinking on other occasions. He fails to respond to others emotions, always centering such concepts back to himself. He doesn't like "the mean girls", yet built a "deep" friendship with Daoimhe over 2 days. He acts and speaks innapropriately and at the most innapropriate times (in the bedroom while others are trying to sleep).

In short, it's clear he does have some mental illness bordering on OCD/sociopathic tendencies, but is most certainly not schizophrenic.

[psychtracker]

He shows NO signs of being schizophrenic from what i've seen. But I AM surprised that BB would put someone in the house who suffers from such high levels of Anxiety & Paranoia.

[Shasown]

Why do housemate haters suddenly become armchair psyshologists?

[joeysteele]

Please don't minimilise Schizophrenia, it is a horrible illness and JJ is definately not affected by that. He does have anger management problems because he has a cynical smirking temper, but thats a totally different thing.
If he was in any way Schizophrenic, he would not be able to function on the house, it is an awful affliction for those who have it and for those who care about and for those affected with it.Please don't make jokes about it, just be thankful you don't have it and neither does John James whether you like him or not.

[fingers]

Why do housemate haters suddenly become armchair psyshologists?

I, for one don't "hate" him or any other HM for that matter, I do however listen to what they say, and he told Josie last night of his pathological hatred of liars and the extreme lengths that he will go to to trap them (posted on here elsewhere) even Josie (not noted for her mental prowess) told him that he needs professional help for this form of OCD [her terminology] if he doesn't get proper psychiatric help there is no telling what he is capable of. Cutting people out of his life forever for what he perceives as lying to him is totallyl irrational and OTT behaviour.

I can't believe Josie had the nerve to tell him he needs professional help - when she clearly needs that sort of help at least as much, if not more than him!

Exactly,people seem to conveniently forget Sunshine had a dressing on her leg from where JJ had dragged her to the swimming pool,I did not see JJs concern then and she was supposedly his friend,What was Ben supposed to do?he is no doctor,keeley was surrounded by people,Ben kept out of it as imo he knew EXACTLY what the others were doing,BB are hardly going to let her suffer are they and who is JJ to tell ben how he should feel?ben did the right thing by not joining in the game of doctors and nurses

[Visage]

Perhaps JJ has had time to think about how he reacted with Sunshine and her injury, so therefore he was trying to help Keeley.


But no I'm guessing because it's JJ there has to be an ulterior motive right? ;)

[Angus]

Everything JJ does and says has an ulterior motive - there he was again yesterday banging on about HMs game plans, how newbies are evicted first usually, the best strategies to use, how HMs are perceved on the outside etc etc (this was to Josie and Dave in the bedroom).

For someone supposedly unconcerned about how he is perceived by the public - Mr "***** The Public" seems mightily clued up and interested in how everyone is coming across on the outside. I have no problem with him playing a game, but FFS stop insulting the Public's intelligence and stop bloody denying it.

[Livia]

No. He probably has a form of depression like PTSD or any other.

Ohhh Jezuz H Tap dancin' Christ on a bike...

I'd like to thank all the psychologists and psychiatrists on this thread who are so gifted at their chosen vocation they can make a detailed diagnosis after watching someone on TELLY.

Two to assist was all that was required, for a four handed lift. Superfluous neck craners don't help in theses situations.

[ElProximo]

schizo?


In another topic I was explaining how JJ is just about a clone of a friend of mine.
This friend had a brother who was diagnosed with full-on schizophrenia but he was not.
Instead he was diagnosed with something called 'schizo-affective disorder' which is (basically) something like 'Schizophrenia Junior'.

Honestly, I am not convinced this is nearly as much a 'hard science' as we want to believe but something like a 'schizophrenia' does seem to be the best way to describe it.

BB9 Dale had something like this going on too.

No doubt about it - JJ would easily qualify for SOME kind of mental disorder but all that really means is that his problems become enough to impede his daily activities.
So far.. he is not getting arrested, unable to care for himself, losing jobs etc so he can get by,
but,
you just know that guy can eat a handful of 'Ritalin' and would be handed some SSRI's in a doctors heartbeat tomorrow.

Proper Schizophrenia - no, he doesn't have that. He does share a lot of things with someone with 'schizo-affective disorder' (as that was explained to me),
That one is actually 'hopeful' because it does sound like a lot of people can actually improve and manage it and even get to a point where its as good as gone (for any practical purposes at least).

[Claymores]

Why do housemate haters suddenly become armchair psyshologists?

Their tripe is always good for a right old belly laff tho Terry!

I particularly like the ones which run along the lines: "Me mam's cousin's husband's auntie had a neighbour who..." then proceed to do a full-blooded comparison/analysis upon that solid basis rather than any qualification or knowlege. They crack me up

[ElProximo]

Their tripe is always good for a right old belly laff tho Terry!

What makes you qualified to decide what is tripe and what is not?
Your belly shakes?
Or your expert training, professor?

[Claymores]

I am not a qualified to give phycological/psychiatric diagnoses ( patricularly when based solely on watching individuals compete on a reality show), so I offer none.

None of the armchair psychologists above have demonstrated any credible evidence to show they are any more qualified. Indeed, I'd venture that any FM who was qualified in these disciplines would flatly refuse to contribute on ethical and professional grounds. The obvious conclusion, therefore, must be that it's load of ill-informed and uneducated sh1te.

The logic is not hard to follow is it?

[ElProximo]

I am not a qualified to give phycological/psychiatric diagnoses based on watching individuals compete on a reality show, so I offer none.

But you believe you are qualified to judge what is sound psychological diagnosis and what is not.
This is you claiming to be an expert of all experts.

None of the armchair psychologists above have demonstrated any credible evidence to show they are any more qualified.

And you are an expert who would be able to judge that. So you claim here again.

Indeed, I'd venture that any FM who was qualified in these disciplines would flatly refuse to contribute.

'Indeed you venture'. You venture 'in deed' to guess any expert would flatly refuse to contribute.
Why not?
Psychologists and Therapists answer questions in online forums all the time. If you had 'Indeed ventured google' you could find THOUSANDS of them responding to questions in forums.
So what did you base your belief on?
Did experts 'flatly deny' contributions before?
Did they tell you that?

The obvious conclusion, therefore, must be that it's load of ill-informed sh1te.

That is not an 'obvious conclusion' at all. EVEN IF we suppose that FMs responding are not professionals - this doesn't 'conclude' they are wrong.
Example:
My ex was a full blown schizophrenic and my job included supervising schizophrenic people.
A close friend was diagnosed with 'schizo-affective disorder'.
yes.. actually this can help me give correct advice.
Even if I wasn't a Therapist.


The logic is not hard is it?


Its retarded. It wasn't even 'logic' at all. In fact, I think you have real problems with cognitive dissonance and we just saw it 'in action' with your senseless posts.
Woops.

[Claymores]

Nobody above has demonstrated their professionasl qualification and length of experience in the required disciplines. You yourself confirn that your contact is based upon anecdotal experience of friends/family and supervision in the role of carer rather than diagnostician/treatment manager.

When unqualified laypeople start handing down their diagnoses based upon watching a TV show (and I'm supposed by your reasining to accept them as sound evaluations), then it is really facepalm time indeed.

I await your mext 'expert' conclusions upon the housemates with baited breath Dr Ruth.

[Kerry]

Flippin' 'eck

[ElProximo]

Nobody above has demonstrated their professionasl qualification and length of experience in the required disciplines.

How would you know unless you are claiming to be more of an expert than anyone posting here and even claiming yourself a 'judge of experts'.

You have done nothing to demonstrate this level of expertise except make illogical 'deductions'.

Do you have some degree or training to back up your claim to be able to discern and judge psychologists?


You yourself confirn that your contact is based upon anecdotal experience of friends/family and supervision in the role of carer rather than diagnostician/treatment manager.

Anecdotes are good. Psychology is based on them. Many anecdotes are called 'data'.
And again with your inability to work out logic. I did NOT tell you I was NOT a diagnostician/treatment manager, therapist, professional, trained etc etc.

What I did tell you was that people who live with and work with (in this example) schizophrenics most definitely can and will correctly identify another schizophrenic.

but the real issue here is that they could do this and be correct.
You suggested that any non-professional WILL be wrong. That is not necessarily true.
A non-professional could make a perfectly accurate diagnosis.

In fact, I have correctly identified problems with schizophrenics, taken them to the hospital where they confirmed I was perfectly accurate.
So you were wrong.

When unqualified laypeople start handing down their diagnoses based upon watching a TV show (and I'm supposed by your reasining to accept them as sound evaluations), then it is really facepalm time indeed.

How do you know they were handing down wrong diagnosis if you are no expert on this?
How do you know they are not handing down accurate diagnosis?

I await your mext 'expert' conclusions upon the housemates with baited breath Dr Ruth.


You should take your own advice and agree you have no way of diagnosing yourself as mentally healthy (or not) and find an expert to analyze and diagnose your mental condition for you.
