“Sudden mental health deterioration. I’m in a third year at medical school right now, and in all of my shadowing, there seems to be a huge pattern in late diagnosed MS and a drop in mental stability.”
“Mental health nowadays is seemingly almost glorified. A ton of people are blaming things on, ‘Oh, it’s just my OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.’ (undiagnosed as well) — when these sudden changes can be huge telltale signs of actual diseases. I saw someone come into our neuro department after experiencing some fasciculations that we assumed were benign. But she explained how they acted with her ‘anxiety and OCD,’ which she had undiagnosed. She had late-stage MS.”
