Chronic Depressive Maladaptive Behavior Disorder (CDMBD) is a self-perpetuating, often terminal mood or personality disorder that inhibits proper functioning in daily life. CDMBD inspires behaviors that often worsen the situation and causes more severe symptoms; resulting in a brutal, downward spiral of self-perpetuating symptoms. CDMBD is often marked by increasing frustration at one's inability to control his or her behaviors or fix a situation and consistently making things worse by attempting to do so.

Some of the more common symptoms of CDMBD include:
~ Lack of motivation

~ Inability to focus

~ Chronic time-wasting

~ Rapid alternation between short periods of debilitating mania or euphoria with longer-lasting periods of debilitating depression

~ Overactive sex drive

~ Compulsive lying

~ Flightiness or restlessness, fear of loss of freedom and mobility

~ Double-sided personality or contradictory nature

~ Tactlessness

~ Uncertainty

~ Cynicism

~ Poor time management

~ Lack of routine and poor sleep schedule

~ Engaging in risk-taking behavior

~ Uncontrollable laughter at inappropriate times

~ Giddiness and hyperactivity

~ Intense but unrealistic desires to save the world, followed by brief periods of severe misanthropy

~ Suicidal ideation and/or tendencies


People with CDMBD may also experience:

~ Disorganization

~ Obsession with terminal illnesses (such as cancer)

~ Compulsive spending

~ Mildly obsessive behaviors that can manifest in forms such as tooth-brushing or fingernail chewing

~ Poor grades

~ Anti-social behavior

~ Periods of both over and under-eating

~ Committing minor acts of terrorism to undermine "the system" and/or glamourbombing to raise awareness in the ignorant masses

~ Cognitive dissonance


CDMBD can be crippling to those who experience it. This disorder is almost always detrimental to relationships. Many sufferers try to distance themselves from friends and family members who may be hurt, confused by, or concerned about abnormal and risky behaviors.

CDMBD most often occurs in people who are intelligent, impoverished, and who care deeply about the problems of the world. The sense of utter hopelessness that is central to this disorder often stems from current political, social, and environmental situations. Conflicting desires and dualistic nature arise from societal demands and pressures to conform and consume pitted against one's innate desires to help others and to reject materialism and commercialism. CDMBD is hard to diagnose or predict, but it seems most likely to develop in people raised to respect others and the environment, devalue material possessions, those with global awareness, and people raised in poverty who are resentful of the privileges they were never granted.

The causes of CDMBD are probably a combination of environmental and biological/genetic factors. Environmental conditions, such as stress caused by financial strain, often precipitate the onset of CDMBD and severely aggravate the symptoms.

No medications currently exist to treat CDMBD, and the use of mood-stabilizers, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, or stimulants to treat one or more symptom is not recommended. Talk therapy has been tested with marginal success. These treatments have shown to be expensive, short term, and generally ineffective in most cases.

As a stigmatizing and often misunderstood disorder, people with CDMBD often choose to suffer in silence rather than seeking treatment in the form of medications or counseling therapy. Some choose to self-medicate with overindulgences in alcohol, sex, or self-destructive behaviors.

The only known cure for CDMBD is the termination of existence.
