depression

[Guest guest]

What is it? There is so much misdiagnosis going on in the medical

field. When I had a blow to my head, I was diagnosed as

compulsive, obsessive, and histrionic because the mri and cat scan

did not show anything. Where is the knowledge that these doctors are

supposed to get when they are in school? I went to many different

medical sites concerning head injury brain injury and concussion.

The big one was the Mayo clinic and on their site it stated that

you can have a head injury because the imaging machines do not

always pick up things that are there. What about a bruised bone?

The skull does not have much to protect the skull bones. Now they

have found out the skull is not all one solid bone but

platelets. These can shift and cause pressure. This blow affected

my walking, my eyesight, nausea, cause major dizziness. Yes I was

in a down state but I was not depressed. Workers comp cut me off

of any money because the doctors stated I did not have a problem.

so why would I not be in a down state of mind? I went to see

another pyschiatrist he ran the usual tests it is not almost 2

years later and he could not find one shred of histrionic,

compulsive and obsessiveness. Doctors are only human and if you

go to a number of different doctors with the same symptom you are

going to get a whole raft of different diagnosis. For 30+ years I

have had nothing to do with doctors. The drugs are horrendous in the

side effects they cause. When you have the flu the doctors will

prescribe antibiotics. Is it all the doctors fault? No people

expect them to magically produce a little pill to fix things. When

one pill is given there is a good chance there will be side

effects so then another pill is given to counter act that one

until there are a whole raft of problems. Then you are diagnosed

with depression, parkinsons, alzeheimers and the list goes on.

These drugs that are supposed to help cause so many awful side

effects. This is not to say that at times someone is very depressed

and needs some help but drugs is not the answer. Rather feed

the body the nutrients they are lacking. For anyone suffering from

feeling as though they are in the bottom of the barrel and there is

no opening there is help. Edith
