Guest guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Have any of you considered an evaluation by a neurologist?I here a lot about people going to either their urologist of their psychiatrist--but, the symptoms of PSSD seem to me to be in the neurological category--because they involve sensation issues such as poor or no responses to stimulation.Although I doubt any neurologist has any idea how to effectively treat PSSD symptoms--I am thinking that if enough of us explain PSSD symptoms to a neurologist--that this will educate another branch of the medical community to the existence of PSSD.Also since most neurologist are not in the habit of prescribing psychiatric medications--they may be less defensive and therefore more open minded about the existence of PSSD. And, hopefully the neurologist would discuss PSSD with his colleagues.I have gone to neurologist for help with some movement disorders that I associate with some brief trials on anti-psychotic medications and did not get much help--but, I have never gone to one and concentrated exclusively on my PSSD symptoms.I don't know if I have the courage to do what I am suggesting--but, maybe one of you do--what if you were to see a neurologist to ask for his sincere help for your PSSD symptoms--and then point out to him that neurology has historically looked the other way--when psychiatry was damaging peoples brains--by doing lobotomies and doing electric shock to peoples brains--so, here is an opportunity to make amends--by not looking the other way--regarding brain damage from SSRI 's that are causing our PSSD.Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
