1120060 tn?1321575077 Everytime I try to talk my way out of a depression or an anger spell I have a full force match going on in my brain!!! I am getting SO very exhausted and don't know what to do. I have dealt with depression in the past but I made sure I was "strong enough" and got through the tough times. I mean, as an African American, that's my family's culture, we handle our business and don't complain. We hustle to survive and we sure don't resort to medical help.
Avatar m tn Possible causes that may need to be considered include psychological causes such as stress, depression; hormonal/ endocrine causes, metabolic issues, neuro-muscular causes etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an internist initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

686172 tn?1256839717 A decrease in the blood supply through arteries to the brain stem, cerebellum, and back of the brain can cause vertigo. This decrease is called vertebrobasilar insufficiency because the arteries affected include the vertebral and basilar arteries. If the decreased blood supply causes temporary symptoms, a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is diagnosed. If permanent damage results, a stroke is diagnosed.
Avatar f tn Apart from clinical neurological examination, MRI shows MS as paler areas of demyelination, two different episodes of demyelination separated by one month in at least two different brain locations. Spinal tap is done and CSF electrophoresis reveals oligoclonal bands suggestive of immune activity, which is suggestive but not diagnostic of MS. Demyelinating neurons, transmit nerve signals slower than non-demyelinated ones and can be detected with EP tests.
Avatar f tn Yes my friend, not being able to focus the brain onto a subject and no memory retention whatsoever was a major part of my symptom list when I was at my worst. I couldn't read at all...my eyes would follow the lines of words but my brain couldn't process them. I've taken to keeping a diary with everything in and have a board in the kitchen to write messages/jobs/important things...
Avatar f tn sometimes there is something that has happened in life that causes depression but sometimes it just happens for no reason other than brain chemicals. If you want, i have found psychologist can help a lot when you get depressed and can help prevent relapse. just an idea.
1071525 tn?1255392574 Hi, severe depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that can result in insomnia. Being severly deprived of sleep can result in hallucinations. Someone with ADD can have this but it is a disorder in and of itself. I hope you are not suffering from this.
Avatar f tn Arachnoid cysts are developmental malformations in the brain, which usually remain asymptomatic even if the cyst is quite large. Hormonal imbalance has been thought to be causative but the role of medications has not been reported. However, minor head trauma can damage the existing cyst, leading to some complications.
1679320 tn?1306382914 Hello again greenpc. You're correct that very often, people will have a concurrent diagnosis of anxiety and depression. One usually comes before another and that can vary. For people with chronic anxiety, a secondary depression can present simply due to the rough situation and feelings of hopelessness. I've experienced secondary depression along with my panic disorder.
Avatar n tn t have any problems with depression that I needed medication for. But last spring I had what I can only describe as a mental break down. It was like something in me just switched, I went from being fine to crying all the time, feeling hopeless, worthless, not eating. There were no real triggers, no stressful event. Then I started to feel better, and within two weeks I was back to normal, and thought that I was fine.
Avatar f tn For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school. On 12/07 I didn't take my medication again, and everything wen fine. So on 12/08, I tried this again, but my brain spasms got really bad as the day went on.
Avatar f tn MS also causes depression and anxiety is two ways. First is in the brain itself. The lesions in the brain or inflammation cause the emotions to be affected. Second the stress of being diagnosed, going on a DMD, etc. Cause stress. The stress leads to anxiety and depression. I went to seminar from the MS Society on this last week. I had depression my whole life. In 2009 I was finally diagnosed with MS. I had neurological problems my whole life they just did not know it was MS.
Avatar m tn I wish to know if others here were ever in a similar situation as mine right here and completely gotten over their depression in this situation. The situation I'm in that is causing me chronic depression is that I have developed a severe panic disorder in which I am experiencing constant panic attacks one right after the other all day everyday. Knowing that I am in this constant state of panic and that I cannot escape from it has caused me depression.
1580703 tn?1651904887 t know if klonopin and prednisone helps or actually causes brain damage
Avatar f tn There is (in my mind anyway) depression which is caused due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Then there is reactionary depression - ie, depression caused as a reaction to a trauma/bad experience. I think unhappiness is a form of depression in itself - Just my thoughts ..
Avatar m tn maybe it has something to do with how our brains are wired a little different, meaning the depression and anxiety. i get headaches too . it happens after the brain zappy things or when i'm really anxious. hopefully they'll figure it out one day. take care.
Avatar m tn 2 I was very happy and fulfilled before this all started so to say that depression causes my symptoms I think would be looking at it in reverse. Rather my symptoms are responsible for my depression 3 My symptoms (permanent brain for and visual dilemma) are made worse by intense physical exercise like running. Which from what I understand would be the opposite of how depression would behave.
Avatar n tn one can stay below this threshold for years without triggering diagnosis- symptoms- fatigue constipation depression raised cholesterol(heart disease) brain fog apathy dry skin-eczema ARE ALL CAUSED BY IODINE DEFICIENCY. our bodies are designed to be eating fish all day. pls buy kelp or lugols iodine and spread the word. the recommended daily intake is too low-to keep people ill requiring medicines.
498132 tn?1217461482 I have low self esteem, felt sad and had no interest for anything, so these symptoms fitted the diagnosis for depression. However, as time progressed, fatigue and brain fog have began to become a big problem in my life. I've been to several g.p.s round my g.p.
