Hi all,
I am in the process of being diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. It finally fits my symptom profile so much better than any treatment resistant depression.
It comes complete with cognitive difficulties, worsens over time, and becomes very, very debilitating.
It is my firm belief that psychiatry neeeeeeeds to know more about this disorder because it is so often misdiagnosed and trying to medicate it incorrectly and worse, "talk therapy" out of it are exercises in futility and leaves one intensely frustrated and hopeless!
I frequently wonder how many people out there wwith"depression" are actually suffering from this.....
There are no official treatments for it, but stimulants often work.....bbut frequently poop out. Now clarithromycin - the antibiotic- has proven helpful for some.....like me! Check out Emory university sleep program for more info.
