Weird changes in brain..... Please help

New postby jhonny on Sat Feb 27, 2010 6:32 am

Hello
I suffered from severe depression for nearly 2.5 years which has ended just a few months ago (My age is 25 and I'm male). After the depression episodes my brain started behaving strangely. I visited a psychiatrist. He gave me a questionaire that contains 15 questions (some thing called depression index) and after a brief discussion he said that I'm no more in the state of depression and everything is ok with me. When I explained about the strange things happening in my brain, he said its just a negative feeling. I'm sure there is something wrong which I'm finding it difficult put in words and I dont know how to convince him.

I can vaguely explain the following symptoms of my current situation: (not all of these symptoms exist at the same time, they change from time to time, some times a combination of these, seldom I feel perfectly ok)
--Feeling of Uneasiness
--Burning sensation in head and mild headache
--Feeling numb in some areas of the head (especially in the centre of the head towards down the neck)
--Difference in language fluency (I don't find words and I speak broken english, But when I'm ok I speak it fluently)
--Difference in level of confidence, energy level and ability to do things
--muscle & tissue twitches in head

Kindly please reply, I am confused what this situation is and how do I explain this to neurologist (I'm planning to visit him soon)

Thank you.

Thanks for your question....have you had a full neurological examination?
If not then this should certainly be done.
Please let us know what was or is found when this is done.

Hello MG(Admin)
Thanks for ur reply.
This time (few months ago) I visited a General practitioner and he has done some examination (asked me to move different parts of the body), I don't know if it is called neurological examination or not. Then he directed me to a physiotheraphist. The physiotheraphist has identified that the neck muscles and muscles at the back of head have tightened and became stiff probably due to the stress during depression. She has suggested some exercices. I have been following those exercies and the situation is a lot better now. Still, but to a very lesser extent sensitiveness/muscle twitches seems to exist inside the neck right beneath the brain. I'm exercising almost regularly and hope the problem will disappear soon.
