Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 This is interesting: http://www.detox.org/convdiag.html "Commonly, the fatigue and lethargy of hypothyroidism (HT) mimics the clinical signs of depression, and it is not uncommon for people to find themselves saddled with a diagnosis of mental illness. They may get put on strong drugs, including mood elevators and antidepressants, when, in fact, it is not their brain chemistry but their thyroid that is at fault. This is a particular problem for women, not only because women are four times more likely than men to suffer from thyroid disorders in the first place, but because many physicians are quick to label women as suffering from "hysterical" symptoms when they can find nothing obviously wrong.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Dear Janice, This is indeed interesting. Not all people are the same but modern medicine has an assembly line approach. It does not take into consideration that every person has his/her own zone. The doctor should be aware of these differences before labelling anyone mentally sick. Another issue we discuss often in alternate healing circles is regarding spiritual awakening. Persons practicing spirituality often tend to behave irrationally. This happens as their energy body makes its presence felt. Hidden emotions come to the fore surprising even the practitioner. If he/she is unfortunately made to consult a doctor then the result may be permanent damage.
