why do you say a strange cluster of symptom?
I did have a moderate head concussion in 1976 and i think that I recoverd without any complication.
I do know that my dad has ocd and some adhd though he just lives with and functions well for being 68 yrs old and my mom probably has some of the same issues even though she wont admit it. they both function a ton better than I do. who knows.
my pdoc at one time suggested getting anothe opinion like a nueorologisy (mri etc) and i said no it was probably pointless- considering my long standing psychiatric history there is *probably nothing wrong* and he agreed. I do have the unfortuante dis-advantage of being part of my county mental health services. i wonder if i am getting sub-par help or not
