I interpret the article to say that when one has problems with blood flow to the brain that this creates the listed problems. A headache is a constriction in blood flow to the brain. I can't fathom the others being inplicated. That would mean anyone with decreased bloodflow to the carotid arteries that lead to the brain as having psychiatric problems and that's not true. And if someone had carotidectomy there sympoms would disappear. It's narrowing of the blood arteriew to the brain. And this happens most often in older people. A stetescope to the neck can reveal dimisnished blood flow. Fondly, Phillipa PS caroidectomy is spelled wrong
