Hello. First I want to say that I've always been normal.
But constant exposure to distraction in my peripheral vision every day in school caused me to have a mental illness. What happens is I'm sensitive to every movement in my peripheral vision. I can't stand people in my line of sight.
I get nervous and lose control.
I understand it's a form of operant conditioning, that the subconcious is controlling it and that's why I have no control over it.
Do you have ANY idea if medications can help treat the problem?

Hello, srulikg,
Medications can very definitely help treatment along with operant conditioning. Is your diagnosis your own, or have you been evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist? That you are in school tells me that you are a relatively young person. That actually can be a factor in your diagnosis. Some conditions become most clear when a person is in their late teens or early 20s, particularly those involving a thought disorder. Before anyone should recommend a medication, you should have a thorough evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist. You are not able to cope well with your stressors, so I urge you to make an appointment as soon as you can.
Good luck to you.
