A question I have about how to go about doing a treatment with my psychiatrist.

[poisserwithnld]

I have pois(selfdiagnosis) and I am with a Psychiatrist right know.
I want to be sure that I get the right help.
He at first believed I might have autism, schizophrenia, psychosis.
Now he think that my cognitive drop(I experienced this in the last years, I am 23 now) is due to depression.
Should I take the anti-depressant?
Offcourse I told him where I believe my brainfog and cogntive symptoms stemm from(ejaculation).
He doesnt really go into that.

Thank you for your help, If I have to clear something up please tell me.

Hi, poisserwithnld,

We cannot interfere with the decisions of your psychiatrist.

However, you can try and give him a simple link like the wikipedia POIS page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postorgasmic_illness_syndrome ), so he can understand it a little better.

Hi, poisserwithnld,

Quantum's suggestion about Wikipedia is an excellent start.

And if you wish to delve into this just a little more, please feel free to share with your psychiatrist any POIS information from our Welcome Page (the 2nd link below).

In particular, there is a New York Times article shown on the Welcome Page that is written by a psychiatrist, Richard Friedman, M.D., that might help to bring the "two worlds" (POIS & psychiatry) together for both you and your doctor:

"Sex and Depression: In the Brain, if Not the Mind"

It's very complicated!

Some illnesses have symptoms that are subsets of others but you often can't treat them like the illness it emulates (at least partially).

POIS has symptoms of depression, yet it's likely not the best that a psychiatrist treats POIS. However a patient can have POIS AND depression as diseases in their own right. This has really complicated POIS.

Some of us only have depressive symptoms while in POIS, and they completely disappear outside of POIS. Ot would seem that such a person is not normally depressive. A psychiatrist is not able to make the distinction, for all that you tell him about POIS, because POIS does not officially exist, nevermind have a known form of treatment.

We have had many members who have suffered greatly on anti-depressants, because they were not designed for POIS, but none of us, and in reality there is no-one who can officially recommend what to offer as a solution.

We are desperately working to find a solution, at least the tip of the iceberg as far as a remedy goes. But until then, we are all in the same boat.

Check out the various helpful remedies that some have found. None seem to work for everyone, but maybe one or two may help you.

From my experience.... i think eating eggs daily will surely help with depression
