ganser syndrome

Ganser syndrome is a rare dissociative disorder characterized by nonsensical or wrong answers to questions and other dissociative symptoms such as fugue, amnesia or conversion disorder, often with visual pseudo-hallucinations and a decreased state of consciousness. The syndrome has also been called nonsense syndrome, balderdash syndrome, syndrome of approximate answers, hysterical pseudodementia or prison psychosis. The term prison psychosis is sometimes used because the syndrome occurs most frequently in prison inmates, where it may be seen as an attempt to gain leniency from prison or court officials. Psychological symptoms generally resemble the patient's sense of mental illness rather than any recognized category. The syndrome may occur in persons with other mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depressive disorders, toxic states, paresis, alcohol use disorders and factitious disorders. Ganser syndrome can sometimes be diagnosed as merely malingering, but it is more often defined as dissociative disorder.
“Ganser syndrome is described as a Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) in the DSM-IV, and is not currently listed in the DSM-V. It is a rare and an often overlooked clinical phenomenon. In most cases, it is preceded by extreme stress and followed by amnesia for the period of psychosis. In addition to approximate answers, other symptoms include a clouding of consciousness, somatic conversion disorder symptoms, confusion, stress, loss of personal identity, echolalia, and echopraxia.”

Lone Gunner

Someone who makes moves and decisions on their own and doesn't require the company of others to get things done. This doesn't necessarily imply the person is a loner or antisocial, it simply means (s)he's independent. Though normally demonstrating 'above average' intelligence, the intelligence from lone gunner to lone gunner CAN span the full spectrum. You don't have to be a genius to be a lone gunner. Lone gunners just simply do not require the moral support from peers to achieve, not do they like to wait on anyone unless it is mandatory.
In a Convo:

Chester: Where's Ryan always disappearing to?

Cranston: I dunno....hes a lone gunner.



Are you a Lone Gunner? If you can relate to any of the following then the answer is yes:

- Someone who hates waiting but isn't impatient. If he can do it himself he will.

- Someone who is not afraid to take on a big task even if it risks failure. To them, the knowledge and experience is priceless.

- Someone who takes pride in doing things themselves.

- Someone who is very versatile in the social department. They can be great in social circles however do not require them.
