Suggest Treatment For Congnitive Disorders

Hi, my name is jessica and im 20. I was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis when i was born, i also have epilepsy as well as some Cognitive issues that go with thinking,learning,logic and everyday life. I'm not sure if i could have some type of Mental disorder of some kind. I know I've had a problem with it since i was young. I would always keep to myself, shy,quiet, hard to start conversations, my thinking is slower harder to process and learn things i have a slight stuttering problem cause of it. I also don't learn as fast, i have terrible problems with my body language and tone of my speech. I am terribly always been clumsy as well. I've noticed it for the longest time just never been diagnosed and not sure if it is a disorder or not. Like i could be talking to someone and to me i sound normal and to them i sound like im whispering. Or i think i look fine then im told i look pissed or mad with my body language . I hope you could possibly help me.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that Tuberous Sclerosis and epilepsy can cause mood changes as well as congnitive deterioration.

I recommend consulting with a neuropsychologist for a careful examination and some cognitive tests.

Consult with a psychiatrist would also be helpful in excluding possible depression that may interfere with the cognitive functions.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Aida
