> I haven't had an evaluation just yet. That's scheduled for october 21st. I've just been having brain foggish symptoms for the past year that have only seemed to get worse. I know it's not a good idea, but it's natural for me to try and figure out where they're coming from, in hopes that they can be taken away/cured. I've been through alot of possibilities, and that should serve as a hint that i'm a bit of a psychosomatic.
-------------That sounds similar to me. I was exhausted, muddled mind, digestive pains for a long time (2 years) before I was diagnosed with depression. Somatic complaints are the number 1 reason that people go to their doctors when they're depressed, and docotrs don't usually pick up on the depression because they focus on the physical area of complaint. I had 2 years of horrible digestive tests, went to 4 doctors, cost my HMO $25K, gave up, and then 30 minutes with a psychiatrist (and a prescription for Remeron) fixed it. I thought I might have a terminal illness or something, but no, just depressed.
