stress

1355570 tn?1277286929 are a trauma to the brain. And in general stress is traumatic to the brain, so that is two strikes against us. I know none of this may sound very positive to you, but what I want to say in the positive is that throughout my trauma (post grad-school I had another employment transition and was diagnosed with another permanent disease with a lot of social stigma) I did not have another major episode, so the meds seemed to prevent that.
Avatar m tn Bipolar may involve a disruption in or overactive limbic system (part of the brain that deals with moods and emotions). However that is only part of what it involves. Continuing research is finding out more. Epilepsy is neurological and bipolar psychiatric. However as they both involve disruptions in brain functioning they may sometimes respond to similar treatments. You can ask a psychiatrist more about this if you see one or are considering seeing one.

Avatar m tn It presents with pressure like pain in one specific area of the face or head and may get worse with sudden movements of the head and bending forward.

Avatar m tn ve told you that the info surrounding the brain and depression and largely based on theory. While information is collected for research purposes, in no way should you apply it to yourself, unless a doctor is telling you directly that it does.
Avatar f tn It is also helpful in diagnosing psychogenic seizures, which may look like real seizures but do not affect the electrical activity in the brain. Video EEG may be used short-term or long-term: Short-term monitoring is done on an outpatient basis and may last up to 6 hours. Long-term monitoring is done in the hospital and may last 3 to 7 days. Brain mapping. Brain mapping is a fairly new method that is very similar to EEG.
Avatar m tn d like to know what is the cause of the tingling (Google says stress hormones and increased blood to the brain) and if this is gonna get worse, if u relate, and what to do about it. It's a horrible feeling.

2136623 tn?1336122098 On both the Tuesday and Wednesday the starts were 8.00am but I managed just two hours sleep due to stress for those two days...and had to leave the house between 8.00am and 7.00pm and function awake under no sleep. I'm certain my body was crying out to itself 'what the heck are you doing, get yourself back in bed' but of course this was not possible. I didn't anticipate this problem and could not stay round a relative / travel lodge.
1692515 tn?1306270048 The Vitamin D Council suggests that between 2,000 iu and 5,000 iu of oral vitamin D3 is the amount that healthy adults need to take. The naturopath I went to said that 5,000 iu is necessary as the maintenance dosage. For me, what the naturopath told me is what has proven true in my own case. The FDA didn't do people a favor for avoiding vitamin D deficiency by not recommending nearly enough. People are still deficient.
Avatar f tn When I was about three or four (17 now, going on 18), I watched a Golden Book Video and for the next two to three months I'm positive I had visual and auditory hallucinations of what I saw in the video. I'm just thinking about this now because I was talking about me as a kid with my parents. Lol, I was a funny kid.
214901 tn?1227567555 That your seizures were first on the left side of your body makes sense, since the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, and seizures affecting the left side of the body would be coming from the right side of the brain. That your seizures now affect both sides of your body could mean that your seizures secondarily generalize: they start on the right side of the brain then spread throughout the brain.

Avatar m tn They all can create multiple ICH, but only two are the result of blunt force trauma, Epidural and Subdural hemorrhage. And from what I found out only one of those two can have two brain bleeds. That is a Duel Epidural hemorrhage. The two types of surgical procedures to repair a ICH are Craniotomy and Endovascular Repair, non of which would have created the amount of swelling on my friends head and face. To my friends out there, am I wrong?
Avatar m tn psychological counseling and medications often help in the treatment of anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Recognizing stress and minimizing it (easier said than done of course) and learning coping skills are important. You have had a CT scan of the brain and if you were told that it was normal, then it is unlikely that there has been bleeding in the head.

Avatar m tn Both devices may prove to be valuable tools in helping the elderly maintain their mobility, assisting the disabled, and easing the stress on physical laborers. Check out the Honda exoskeletons in the video clips below. Walking like a robot looks pretty natural. It’s unclear how quickly Honda will be able to bring these exoskeletons to market. Their latest video is actually more of a cartoonish video with some live action footage thrown in.
Avatar f tn He was then diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari Malformation where one of the symptoms could be sleeplessness, and this diagnosis was made possible via MRI of the brain stem (I was wondering though how I could send it out, as the MRI of my brain stem would be shown in the 3rd slide of the paper-backed file, because only then could it show if I also suffer from this).
Avatar f tn If it is referring to cerebral atrophy, which is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain, it describes the loss of neurons and the connections between them. Atrophy can be generalized or it can be focal. This results to a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls.The pattern and rate of progression of cerebral atrophy depends on the disease involved such as infection, stroke, traumatic injury, and many others.
719301 tn?1230345094 I lost my emotions, my affect and became completely math oriented. The explosion came from the top forward part of my skull underneath the the top of the brain in between the two hemispheres slightly what feels towards the right. I was diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia. I'm wondering how the two are similar. Or what could have been done to prevent the treatment I went through before others fall through the mental health treatment plan.
Avatar m tn Thank you for your post, the reason that I asked is that we have glands in the brain and if they are injured could effect personality or mood, this is what I found on the net. As for the medicine I really don't know as my son is not too keen of taking any medicine.Best regards to you and family.
Avatar n tn I was sitting at my computer and watching a video when it suddenly felt as if my brain was vibrating. It only lasted a minute but i am so scared. im now feeling slightly dizzy and have a headache.
695915 tn?1228665952 It’s a bit complicated to go into too much detail here, but understand that it all relates to sluggish flow of the CSF and our change in posture causing the brain to sink and rise, leading to chronic brain edema and a type of “normal pressure hydrocephalus”. We will be having some imaging done to see if I have any blockages in my veins that could be opened (with a balloon or stent) to help with the condition.
