Over the last six months or so my sister has been in and out of a mental facility for numerous symptoms and recently they have gotten worse. It started with a feeling of chronic deja vu, and anxiety related to it and bi-polar type manic depression.   Most recently she has had full seizures, drooling, phantom smells, and vomiting. She is set to have tests done, MRI, CT etc..but I am more leaning towards a mental vs a physical condition. What would you suggest a possible cause of these symptoms could be so I can be as helpful to my sister as I can from 2000 miles away. Desperate in Detroit, for my Sissy in Phoenix. Thank you.
Hello, Dejavu can occur in mental disorders but as you said that she has this as a chronic symptom-then most likely it is related to seizure disorder (which is not effectively controlled). So, she has both physical and mental symptoms to take of. You have not mentioned any Chat Doctor. Regarding her tests- I will advise that she must get an EEG from a good center and get it read by a good neurologist. This will make the situation clear. I hope the reply is useful for you
