Unfortunately being taught something does not make it correct, how many diseases were thought to be something then proved to be something else, from MS to narcolepsy generations of doctors were taught one thing that was then upended.
Lets not forget lobotomies were thought of as miracle...
Experience and background in this area.
There are some exceptions, people who have things like brain tumours, thyroid issues and sometimes side effects from drugs mean those things can be treated. Though sometimes brain tumours are inoperable unfortunately.
If a person is spending years in...
I can't imagine why the deep depression happened :(
It kills brain cells and we have no idea if that damage can ever be undone, if it reduces future lifespan, if it increases risk of diseases like Alzheimers or Parkinsons or others...
In some cases it does cause permanent behavioral...
People who are traumatized have suffered great trauma. Its not a biochemical imbalance or neuroinflammation.
So the answer is to kill their ability to feel emotions. For generations lobotomies were defended as heroic treatments, i wonder if they will make a return as well. Its even more...
Brain damaging emotional pain away is not a good thing, and just because they didn't respond to ignore your problems till they go away (CBT) or blunt emotions SSRIs does not mean the only answer is to kill brain cells till they can't feel emotional trauma.
Its funny that killing intelligence and...
In that case if we can't show this is the case we should abandon the theory that neuroinflammation is the cause of depression.
I can't see this happening...
This wasn't a case of disagreement in good faith, this was bad faith by whoever at the hospital was trying to take rights away from the patient and their family without the family doing anything wrong.
I agree but there is a big difference from quackery to medical disagreement. The Mayo case...
This sentence leads to this question, one of the current theories is that depression is caused by neuroinflammation, what are your thoughts on this (afaik it does not show up on MRI)
I look at it as a sum of all forces, if people are worse off over time then they have progressed. The mechanism is not well understood, is all progression from overdoing it into PEM, would it progress on its own if patients were diagnosed the day after they got ME/CFS and told to never go into...
Not a cheap price, but not completely insane.
It does not have to be a booklet, an advertisement or editorial might be good enough?
Would a paper include it if it was sent as a letter to the editor (do they still do that)?
I see. If i had been asked 10 years ago i would have said i was rather static, the decline was very slow and hard to notice but for much later hindsight (unfortunately), but if you asked me today my last 7 years has been very downhill :(
I can't read it, i lack the cognitive ability to get...
