Depersonalisation - Brain Scan Results

Salute mentale
1

Hi guys,

I'm over 2 years in on waking every day feeling drunk , drugged up, foggy, like I'm in a dream, eyes not feel right , everything looks 2D and a general feeling of unwell.

I had previously been diagnosed with DP/DR and have CBT for it. However I recently had results from an EEG scan on my brain which showed "Abnormal , slow brain waves" and have been asked to return for more tests and it says " If suspicion of epilepsy continues more tests needed" but no one has ever said u have epilepsy and I've never had a seizure ? Just twice in my life I forgot where I was for 5 seconds then came straight back but never lost control of my body etc and could still talk. 

For 2 years I have been told by every single doctor "you're fine it's just anxiety" now I have that vague results letter land on my doorstep ?! 

So am I suffering from anxiety or epilepsy ?! 

(Live in England) 

Help ?

Hi Alex you sound as though you have absence seizures.They used to be known as petit mals.They are hard to diagnose as it looks as though the person who suffers is day dreaming.If l were you l would go and talk to my doctor and see what they have to say.They should be able to tell you what is happening.

Hi Marleen,

The absence thing happened twice when I was 13 I'm 22 now and just feel drunk and spaced out 24/7.

Yes they are very common in children however they obviously have saw something on your MRI scan so to get to the bottom of it speak to your doctor.Do you drive and if so did they tell you not to?

If you were told not to drive they think you are having seizures or you are at risk of having one.As l have said speak to your doctor and ask if this could explain how you are feeling.
