I have been on this website for about 6 months now and post in spurts, but I always read other posts. I notice many people wondering if they have this or that. What compelled me to write this post was someone saying there is no way to accurately diagnose things like bi-polar or other more serious me...

She is 52 years old. Alztheimer's is very difficult to diagnose accurately without an autopsy so there is a chance this is a mistake. Regardless, something is clearly wrong with her. She has been very forgetful, a constant worrier for years, spacey, paranoid at times, and her work performance has be...

It's really weird for me because it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's bad! I am either Mr. social or Mr. anxiety around people. I don't really know why this is. I have been places before and felt anxiety coming and going throughout the entire night. Once I think I have gotten a hand...

One of my best friends came into town for Thanksgiving this week. We went out the other night and I ended up sleeping at his parent's house.

I have been to neurologists, had MRI's, Catscans, hyperbaric chamber, therapy, and now Lucinda's program. The SPECT scan is very similiar to another...

I have hearing loss due to a fall when I was young. I think I had a CT scan. Is that a cat scan? If so then I have had one. I also had an MRI, and SPECT scan.

I am 29 years old, 6'1" and weigh about 190-200. I would say that I am currently moderately active, but would like to step up my activity level in the near future. I have been pondering the idea of training for a triathlon to help me get back on my feet so the 2,000 calorie diet that is the recommen...

Sorry, I think the proper spelling is SPECT scan.

jasminemody, my comncern with psychiatrists is that they do not perform any tests on the brain. I went to Denver, CO last summer for a SPECHT scan. It is a specialized scan that shows the blood flowing through your brain in real time. Bi-Polar is a very real disorder, but it is overdiagnosed because...
