What a thoughtful, helpful comment. It seems your doctors are trapped in the old paradigm. Of course, there are limited tools available to treat diseases of the brain, but even those few tools have not been applied to your difficulty. I am so sorry. Writing about this is very important. We cannot be passive consumers of medication. We need to understand the methods, the reasons so we can support progress. Change comes hard, especially when the financial incentive is there to treat in the old way.
I hope you find more appropriate, constructive treatment. I will look up Nellie Bly and Waverly Hills. Many suggestions have come back as a result of this post. That's great.
Thanks for reading. Truly do wish you better health and much better medical care.
