Default Could PCT be the cause of all my problems?

Hi everybody.

This is my first post here and I was just wondering if anybody could help me with some problems I've been having because I don't feel like I can continue much longer.

I'm 26 and had a bad bang to the head 5 years ago. I fainted and smashed it on a hard surface. I was in hospital for a day and told I had a concussion. They let me go without any further treatment despite having a bump the size of a golf ball and having no memory of the previous day.

I have felt awful ever since. Below is a list of my symptoms:

More Fainting (I had never fainted prior to the one mentioned above)
Depression
Anxiety
Mental Fatigue (This is the worst symptom)
Irritability
Mood Swings
Concentration Problems
Memory Problems
Emotional Problems
Light Sensitivity (Has got better)
Trouble Sleeping

These symptoms have plagued every aspect of my life and have made it very difficult for me to get anywhere in life. I dropped out of uni, had difficulty with relationships, can't progress in my career etc.

In this time I've explored many different avenues for a solution. I've been treated for Clinical Depression and ADHD (innatentive sub type). I have had very mild success with therapy and stimulants but nothing has worked really.

Another thing I am currently exploring is my problem with sleep. I always wake up in the night with a dry mouth which is stopping me getting a good nights sleep. I have trouble breathing through my nose and have had surgery to fix this. No benefits so far unfortunately.

I am also trying to take enough vitamins and fish oil etc.





If anybody has any insight or suggestions they would be really appreciated. I don't know what to do.
