Hello, I am a 29yr old white female. 5 5 125 lbs. On Jan 6th of this year I slipped in my driveway and fell straight back on the back of my head, middle right side. I had a gaping wound , had a concussion , and was diagnosed with PCS. Ever since then my periods have been anywhere from 6-12 days late, but I m getting PMS symtoms 2 weeks after my period starts. I also suffer from MAJOR behavioral and psychological problems 2 weeks after my period to the point my psychiatrist wants to put me on an anti-psychotic medicine. Once I get my period I feel like a 9 compared to a 3. I feel so much better now. But this week I seriously thought I was having a meltdown. uncontrollable crying, major depression, 5 panic attacks when on 2mg on klonopin , serious mood swings. I just need to know that somehow this is all related and that it will go away..... anyone?
Hi.traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to any of those problems.It's pretty hard to predict to what direction its leading.maybe you had a brief psychotic episode following injury and that was controlled on anti-psychotics.now you are having a depressive episode, should be treated accordingly.you may require a mood-stabilizer in the long run.follow-up is needed.TBI can also lead to menstrual problems.few anti-psychotic medication can be also responsible.possibly you need joint care by a gynecologist and a psychiatrist.have a good health.don't worry.
