Your mother's courage & wisdom is palpable when she said she didn't want to see someone new again. And your father's hope & persistence took her to see someone who diagnosed a physical cause for her symptoms. Look first to the body. One big thing I learnt from attending a workshop with John Ardern was him saying something like "Look for physical causes first. Many psychological symptoms will be alleviated if we attend to that, in addition to checking on our clients' water & food intake plus sleep patterns."

What a tribute to your mom! Her story, so richly told by you, is a sad example of the narrow, linear view that often influences conclusions/diagnostics. Dr. Fuhriman was wise. Thanks
