And sure these are all things that people suffer day-to-day, what makes it more is that an episode can go days, weeks and (thankfully not recently for me) months.
I'm just saying this as cognitive scientists spend a lot of effort working out which mechanisms and pathways are malfunctioning for a specific disorder, and a generalised statement listing 3 neurotransmitters didn't sit well with me.
From a neuroscience perspective, there is a major issue with self diagnosis, its very hard to be objective when you're examining yourself and once you begin to notice something, you tend to 'fix' the evidence in your mind. Psychosomatic symptoms are surprisingly common. However I don't want to sound like I'm questioning your diagnosis, so if you are aware of a deficit on a functional level please ignore me.
(Obviously I'm more a believer/subscriber/fan of cognitive approaches to psychology, and why I wanted to be a psychologist and not a psychiatrist.)
At any rate, your article has convinced me that you're not just engaging in self-fulfilling prophecies or theorizing as he seems to imply when he writes "psychosomatic".
(And experiment0, you can't have gotten far in your study of neuroscience if you think there are just 3 neurotransmitters.)
And the snark at the bottom of your reply is really quite unnecessary.
things got so meta...
That's the first time I hear a reasonable argument that I can't diagnosis myself.
