Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 08:50 PMa lot of other medical disorders, dysfunctions, and illnesses mimic mental stuff with symptoms
this is why - before you go running to a psychiatrist to get the latest diagnosis - you really need a thorough physical w/ blood tests and such to rule out any other medical issues first
thyroid, blood sugar, hormone, blood pressure, electrolytes, etc... can cause mental & emotional issues

Good Info

The one caution regarding natural supplements and remedies ... some of these still need to be considered as part of our treatment mix. I'm sure all know that St. Johns Wort, although a natural herb, is an antidepressant and needs to be monitored as part of the "cocktail" if we don't want to end up accidentally manic. Etc.

My mother suffers from fibromyalgia for over 30yrs, she never could get any help. Doctors always thought she was nutts or imagining stuff. Finally the disease is recognised and just in the past year she has found a doctor who belives and specialises in this. It took her a few trial and errors but now has found the medication that has helped her big time, shes like normal again.
I agree with you and allot of Doctors are F***** worthless.
