Maladaptive Day-dreaming Syndrome (MDS)

A chronic lifelong condition where someone has vivid daydreams for hours or even days to dissosiate from reality, in order to brainstorm creative ideas / stimulate themselves / cope with chronic stress, trauma, depression or lonliness.

(Notes:

It often impacts their ability to focus, as well as leads to fatigue, migranes and even giving up work just to daydream. Even though it has negative side-effects, the daydreaming becomes addictive, because of the adrenalin rush related to escaping the harsh reality.

The worlds of maladaptive daydreaming syndrome can be very detailed like in a film / novel and include characters.

Unlike ADHD, Maladaptive Day-dreaming Syndrome doesn't necessarily include the other symptoms of attention deficit hyperactive disorder. It also isn't psychosis as the person is aware that their daydreams aren't necessarily real, even if they feel very realistic to them).

(e.g. Sarah always lives in her head. I wonder why? Oh, that's right. She just has maladaptive day-dreaming syndrome (MDS)

Maladaptive Daydreaming 

A term used to describe some or all of the following symptoms:

- Excessive daydreaming, to the point where one cannot, or has difficulties with, functioning properly in real life

- Purposeful removal of oneself from situations that interrupt, prevent or otherwise disrupt daydreaming

- Creation of various storylines within daydreams, usually filling the holes in one’s own life (arousal, feeling of purpose, heroism, a social life, etc.)

- Tiredness (often caused by preventing oneself from sleeping so there is more time to daydream)

- Inability, or hindered ability, to maintain focus on real life scenarios in favor of daydreaming

Maladaptive Daydreaming is often associated with other, official terms, such as depression, ADHD, PTSD, schizophrenia and more.

There is no prescription to take in order to solve maladaptive daydreaming. The best solution is to seek professional therapy. Therapy isn’t as scary as it sounds; they ask what the problem is, and then work with you to develop a solution. They will never judge you, and have several degrees on how to deal with these kinds of situations. If therapy is not an option, alternative solutions would be to create a vent for your ideas and desires to flow into (keeping a journal, sharing ideas with friends, achieving real life goals, etc.).

If you searched this because you think you have maladaptive daydreaming, please don’t ignore it. It can ruin your life.
