> I think they test very rarely. I don't think they feel comfortable using it to try to direct psychiatric treatment. I wish they would do more research! because it would be nice to have a test to determine what classes of drugs to try, not just go on our subjective symptoms.

.... i never understood why i presented 14/15 criteria for bipolar disorder and 5 doctors could not diagnose me .......

... so even when stuff is directly in front of the, i find psychiatrist may have some difficulty ...

> Pheochromocytoma is a tumor that produces surges of adrenalin and this what they are usually trying to rule out by the test. Symptoms can mimic panic attacks. Sometimes attacks will be triggerable: like by taking a stimulant. It's an incredibly rare tumor, way way rarer than panic and anxiety disorders.

hey i used to think i suffered from pheochromocytoma.... because my doc told me i suffered from 'Sipples', and when i looked it up on the web it said Sipples was a type of multiple endocrine neoplasia .... but when i went back to him, ... he said it was a sub-type of Bipolar Type II
