Neurosis in my life

Neurosis is prevalent in post-modern society.

I suffer from neurosis, since I am now taking 11 vitamins and supplements.

The psychiatric term is "hypochondriasis."

Part of the etiology of hypochondriasis is the believe that I am taking care of my overall health by taking vitamins and supplements — mentally and physically — combined with the few medications I am taking now — cyclobenzaprine as muscle relaxant (for osteoarthrosic left shoulder and as a sleep aid) and gabapentin (for mild pain and mood stablizer).

Currently I have had two appointments arranged by my primary physician in the coming month:

with a neurologist to determine the neurological origin for the anger-hostility-aggression (AHA) symptoms related to temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and my history of mild traumatic brain injuries, and

with the local mental health centre's psychiatrist to test for bipolar disorder.
