Well all, I will be checking into a psych ward for extensive therapy and testing. I just can't take this anymore and it's time to do something. I'm tired of not being taken seriously and feeling like a crazy person. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Default Wow
If any one had any idea how many times I have tried to get my self to do exactly this. There is no doubt in my mind that the nut house is the only place that I should have been since my head got wacked. I just can not handle the idea of being locked in with a bunch of other people or i would do it right now also. I think I could only do it if they sined some thing legal that said that they would have to keep me drugged in oblivion the entire time.

If you need help, and you are saying you do, then the best thing to do is get it. Will look forward to your next update.

Agreed - get the help you need, keep the faith, and keep in touch. Remember that people generally do improve over time following an MTBI.

My biggest concern for in-patient psychiatric treatment is the risk of brain injury from trying various meds at high levels. Many psych facilities use patients as test cases.

Have you had a Neuro-Psych Assessment? It should be done before any inpatient therapy. You need to get a baseline of your condition.

Where can I get a neuro-psych assessment? I'd like to get a full battery of tests.
