You’ve been on something for your anxiety for a while now. It helps… but nobody ever told you where the anxiety came from in the first place.
Some diagnoses explain what’s wrong. Others just name what you’re feeling and move you from searching to managing.
This week's guest on the Medical Disruptor, Dr. Courtney Snyder, has been a psychiatrist for thirty years. She trained at Baylor, Columbia, and the University of Louisville, then added a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry on top of it, because she figured you can’t really understand adults until you understand childhood. She was not looking for a second career.
Then in her forties she and her three year old daughter both got sick at the same time, and her daughter started looking like she was regressing. She stepped away from practice for ten years to go find the answers herself, and she came back with a whole different way of looking at brain symptoms.
What she found changed how she practices. There’s a short list of things that show up over and over in people with anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms, and they are not in the brain.
In this episode Dr. Snyder explains both of them. One of them most people have never heard of, and it’s one of the fastest things she treats. Another explains the women who can tell you precisely when the panic started, down to the month, and it lines up with a prescription they were handed for something else entirely.
Treatment resistant doesn’t mean you’re out of options. It means nobody has found the cause yet.
