WAS IT THE STRESS OR LACK OF THYROID? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness WAS IT THE STRESS OR LACK OF THYROID? Question: I was taking Synthroid (although all my tests were normal) and Prozac for a few months and all my BPD symptoms seemed to be OK. I stopped taking the Synthroid (thought it might make me lose calcium). Now I seem to be having problems. The only other factor that may have had an effect on my behavior at that time was a corporate type course in assertiveness and emotional control (it used the adult-parent-child transactional analysis approach) was fresh in my mind. Was it possible that the Synthroid was helping?Thank you. Dr. Heller’s Answer: It could have been both. Low thyroid can trigger panic and BPD dysphoria. Its very hard to discern which was which in your case.Prozac stops the unprovoked mood swings, the chronic anger, the emptiness, boredom, emotional pain and rejection sensitivity. It wont bring you out once you crash into dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair). Thats why Im so aggressive with dysphoria treatment. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?

Is There A Relationship Between Tricotillomania And BPD? * Dr. Leland Heller is a family physician who has treated thousands of patients with the Borderline Personality Disorder.

IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRICOTILLOMANIA AND BPD? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRICOTILLOMANIA AND BPD? Question: Good evening Doctor Heller,I am writing to you because I read the question and answer on http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/AskDoc/doc261.htmI suffer from tricotillomania and skin picking since I was about 9 years old. I am 27 now. I recently started treatment with a psychiatrist. I have been taking Sertraline for 15 days. Sometimes I have thought that my way of thinking and acting are very similar to those of a person with borderline personality.I would like to ask you if there is a possibility that people with tricotillomania present these symptoms. I am such an unstable person and neither I nor my family or friends or co-workers or my boss can explain my mood changes. From extremely happy to extreme anger!I would highly appreciate your reply and help.Best Regards… Dr. Heller’s Answer: Ive treated a dozen or so patients with tricotillomania. Its difficult to treat. Some individuals are self mutilating in an attempt to stop or reduce their dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair). For others its a compulsive anxiety reducing behavior. For some its a combination.Treating all the medically treatable problems as listed in my screening test is extremely important. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?

IS SEROQUEL SAFE WITH A SEIZURE DISORDER? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness IS SEROQUEL SAFE WITH A SEIZURE DISORDER? Question: Hi,I had asked a question about a wk ago about TLE (temporal lobe epilepsy) and if it is bad to take Seroquel (it’s prn for sleep) if I have it? I heard that neuroleptics can trigger seizures and was wondering if I need to stop the Seroquel (it works really well putting me to sleep). Dr. Heller’s Answer: Its highly unlikely Seroquel will cause a seizure. Not sleeping can cause seizures.Seroquel is very effective for sleep problems that dont get better with other medications. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?
