Well, I read this long, old thread in its entirety. I must say I was both touched and amazed by the experiences revealed there.
I was reminded of a recent conversation I had with a friend. He, a recovering alcoholic, having gotten his chemical dependency in hand, found himself faced with a new disorder. He shared with me how difficult it was for him to accept an additional diagnosis of Severe Depression Disorder. He thought...will it never end.
It seems that many on this board have also been faced with multiple disorders. I suspect many of you have wondered the same as my friend at times. I see a great deal of courage and solution-seeking here and I find it very moving. I am also beginning to relate with it.
I took the "Indicators Suggestive of Subsyndromal Epilepsy" quiz. I scored quite highly particularly in symptom classes one and three. I believe the possibility of such a condition is one that I need to bring up with my docs. I would seem that an EEG may well be in order.
For me, having gained understanding of my current and most debilitating condition (severe depression / hypomania) I think will help me to accept a second disorder more easily if need be.
I sense that many of you have developed (or are developing) a sort of "I just want to try to get to the bottom of things" determination. I'm getting something like too and I am grateful to be able to participate here with others facing challenges similar to my own. It looks like it is going to be a long journey.
This is a wonderful web site Dr. Bob.
