Suggest Treatment For Severe Episode Of Deja Vu
Question: Yesterday and late last year I had period when I had feelings of XXXXXXX vu. Late last year the feelings of XXXXXXX vu were severe. Is this from anxiety or what is it from? Whenever I got the XXXXXXX vu I was a bit anxious but not overly. I am not sure what the cause is? How should I treat this? I have no idea how to treat this.
Brief Answer:
a definite cure has not been reported
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Acute or chronic XXXXXXX vu sufferers are constantly overcome by the sensation something new has happened before. Depression is common, and some sufferers are initially misdiagnosed with epilepsy or labelled "delusional" and put on anti-psychotic drugs.
Its relation with the time of your menses is purely incidental and not likely to be due to release of progestins and its withdrawal which is normally the physiology of menstruation.
Our memory system is organized in such a way that when information is recalled and retrieved, it triggers a feeling that guides our behaviour, telling us whether what we're thinking is a memory, daydream or fantasy.
The temporal lobe, the portion of the brain behind the ears, is thought to be where XXXXXXX vu originates. In normal XXXXXXX vu, and in people with chronic XXXXXXX vu, that area becomes overactive, triggering the sensation of remembering. Researches are still ongoing and a definite cure has not been reported since the number of cases had been few and hence still these symptoms are being treated with anti depressants and anti-psychotics considering that these are short lived and don't hamper day to day functions to a great deal.
You should be visiting a psychiatrist and a neurophysician for an opinion and evaluation in detail.
