Gettin Better All the Time

At 17 my life changed. Something happened to me that I wouldn't understand for 40 years. I am now 70 years old. Looking back, I would call the trauma at age 17 a neuro-psychiatric event. At age 56, I discovered a case history in a British Neurological Research Journal that identified an epileptic syndrome whose worst case scenario was when "the post ictal psychosis segues into an affective disorder of major depression." I was a worst case scenario. My trauma was a powerful epileptic seizure preceded by an epigastric aura. I suffered depressive episodes on intervals of 8 years. Each episode lasted 2 years and was an epic struggle for survival with significant weight loss, anxiety and insomnia. I experience frequent powerful and blinding migraine aura, tinnitus, and other depressive symptoms. I recently looked up the term neuro-psychiatric and saw it was a combination of psychiatric symptoms aggravated by neurological symptoms. Just like I experienced for my entire adult life.No mental health professional ever mentioned that term to me. I'm living the best years of my life right now. I can put my past in focus.
