1/5 A friend brought his mother to the hospital. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's & Parkinson disease. She had signs of both diseases, but this confluence is rare. By looking at the history, I found out that she was taking many drugs & that it all started with #anxiety...

3/5 The use of this drug induced hallucinations, so the family stopped the drugs & went to a psychiatrist, who made a diagnosis of psychosis & gave her an antipsychotic. This took her back to the state of Parkinsonism. An anticholinergic drug was used, which in turn...

1/ After chatting with @eugenemcfadden I've been thinking about embodiment. These things that are supposedly in our heads: #depression, #anxiety, #autism, #ADHD are for me PHYSICAL. Here are some thoughts on depression, and how it is different from sadness 🧵
@eugenemcfadden 2/ When you are sad, you are perhaps a little more of yourself. It makes you a little Cartesian; your mind, it seems, is noticing that you are feeling things, and knows it will have to wait this absurdity out, until you can go back to the numb comforts of normality.
@eugenemcfadden 3/ You observe a rawness within and without: eyelids and nostrils, follicles and skincells — these are the external, bodily realities that represent the internal shrinking and puckering.

We need to talk about the role of GABA in mental illness and neurological disorders. And then I am going to explain to you why ketones can help regulate this neurotransmitter. 🧵 (1/21)
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, and it plays a critical role in regulating neuronal excitability and maintaining the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. (2/21)
GABAergic dysfunction has been implicated in a wide range of psychiatric and neurological disorders, including #anxiety disorders, #depression, #epilepsy, #schizophrenia, and #autism spectrum disorders. (3/21)
Mitochondria are essential to our overall health and well-being. In addition to producing energy, they regulate many critical processes in the body. (1/11) #mitochondria #energy #health
Mitochondria play a key role in the production and regulation of neurotransmitters. They also help produce key hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. (2/11) #mitochondria #hormones #neurotransmitters #neurotwitter
Mitochondria are involved in epigenetics, which is the expression of #genes from the nucleus. They send signals to the nucleus that turn genes on or off. (3/11) #epigenetics #genes #mitochondria

But these paradoxes, of course, generally come from people who, having more practice with speculation than action, are not capable of doing anything but supplying us with such paradoxes.

But we have nothing to do with that iron philosophy, which our master and Lord condemned not only in words but by his own example. After all, he lamented and cried over his own hardships and those of others and he instructed his disciples no differently.

@Metabolic_Mind It's ok to have hope that you can feel better. When you are suffering from any of these disorders, hope is a little scary. You don't want to be disappointed. Sometimes it's easier to practice acceptance of how you are feeling. (3/12) #hope #spoons #chronicillness
People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder are seen to suffer from hypometabolism in the basal ganglia and white matter. This is thought to contribute to their struggle to determine what concern deserves attention & worry constantly.
Could improvement in brain metabolism help reduce some of the symptoms seen in #GAD? In my clinical experience, I would say absolutely.
I help clients transition to a ketogenic diet to help treat brain hypometabolism. And in doing so I see an improvement in #GAD symptoms and a variety of other symptoms associated with other diagnoses.

#MedTwitter #neurotwitter
2. Headache started early in the morning on awakening, after which she would take pain-relievers (sumatriptan, naproxen or ergotamine), which would relieve her headache for 4-6 hours, only to return by early evening. She would consume 30-40 tablets of pain-relievers every month.
3. She had disturbed sleep and also had features of #anxiety and #depression.
Headache, taking "pain-reliever" tablets, short duration pain relief followed by rebound headaches after 4-6 hours, occurring on daily basis had become a vicious cycle for her.
