I was once dx'ed with "clinical depression" after coming through a rough patch in my life, to say the least, having experienced multiple Rahe-Holmes TMS dis-ease creating events. Having stored TMS KNOWLEDGE PENICILLIN in my mental medicine cabinet. I realized the dx could have just as well been CFS, fibro, or lymes, as my symptoms overlapped all those psychosomatic dis-eases du-jour. Once I figured out my depression WAS TMS, I was well on my way to getting MYSELF out of it--no help from the shrink who'd never heard of it.
He gave me Lexipro, I gave him a Sarno book. He said it was "very interesting"--I'm sure he never bothered opening it. I'm confident reading Sarno would not have done him any harm--the lexies he gave me did result in me making a mid-night run to the ER suffering from a panic attack (thinking it was a heart-atttack) due to his miss-dx'ing my mental state. He thought I needed pepping, up rather then simmering down neruologically speaking--nothing like thinking you're in imminent danger of dying to increase your TMS/anxiety to panic attack levels.
