I had a mild concussion a month ago;
I am recuperating really well. I've
noticed something strange -- my dreams
or of events that i didn't even know i
could remember, and i have so insights
into things that i sort of covered up.
For example, i think that i have had
attention deficit disorder for a long
time and that's why i couldn't do logic,
I should have gone into fine arts as
i wanted to. A lot of complexity resulted
from that conflict. Interesting what a head
bang can do. :-)Squiggles

A placebo-controlled trial of Cranial Impact Therapy in the treatment of major depression.
I. M. Trying, Ph. D., Grant Seeker, M.D.
Hoboken General Hospital64 subjects, determined to be suffering from major depression as defined in the DSM-IV, were randomized to one of four experimental groups. Three groups were treatment arms in which subjects were dropped, head down, onto concrete floors from heights of one, two, or three meters. The fourth group was a control group, in which subjects were dropped one meter onto feather pillows. All subjects were fully anaesthetized during treatment to avoid collateral impact with the floor by any other body part, and to ensure that subjects had no knowledge of the actual treatment received. Following treatment, each subject was administered an oral version of the Gesundheit Depression Scale. Results: An inverse relationship (p<0.01) was found between height before impact and expression of depressive symptoms in the active treatment groups. A significant difference between the control group and each of the treatment groups on the GDS was also found (p<0.05). Increases in measures of anxiety in the control group suggest that impacting feather pillows might itself have adverse effects. Subjects in the treatment arms did experience declines in mobility, and bowel control. They also demonstrated a reduced capacity for speech, but the extent of the interaction between this observation and the reduction in the oral expression of depressive symptoms, as measured by the GDS, must await further study.
