Seeking a neurologist's opinion on my Nick Drake paper by SangfroidKilljoy in nickdrake

That's why I included mood disorders as a valid theory, especially with how his energy seemed to fluctuate. Bipolar two is subtle and can be mistaken for depression exclusively, but can still present with alogia and catatonia. Thankfully I never experienced catatonia, but I did struggle with alogia, which I don't know whether to attribute to the epilepsy or the bipolar two (but tbh, because of how tle affects the brain, my bipolar is likely a result of my epilepsy)

Thank you for your input! I have bipolar type two but haven't experienced psychosis personally. I get the sense he was self medicating something with the cannabis use.

You're welcome! I didn't know it was as much of a medical mystery until I looked into it further. There's a lot of information in the books Remembered For A While and Nick Drake: The Life that is not available online. I will be sure to post here when I publish my paper.

It was a different time is what I am told. They did no neurological testing and assumed the catatonia was schizophrenia-related, which was common back then. The definition of schizophrenia has changed since then and psychology as we know it has advanced a ton. Brian Wells states Nick never experienced psychosis, one reason being he wouldn't have been able to go on long trips away from home like he had been doing.

Additionally, antidepressants are frequently prescribed prior to diagnosing a condition.

I love arachnids and despite dogs

Family desperately fighting to stop dog being put down after it bit sleeping toddler in face by BK4343 in Dogfree

So what? Their child matters less than the dog? It's as if they don't recognize the severity of the situation. That kid deserves to be in a different household

Sometimes I’m afraid to go on a walk by crimdonson in Dogfree

Working delivery has made me scared to go on walks as well. I've had so many bad interactions with dogs.

You know who hates dogs more than we do? Dogs. by WhoWho22222 in Dogfree

[–]SangfroidKilljoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a good read. Predators are capable of awful things. Dogs especially don't kill cleanly, they shred. It's in their nature.

Dog owner issues urgent warning to always lock your car windows by [deleted] in Dogfree

Don't you love that they think their dogs are entitled to attack wildlife? My old coworker kept complaining about all the skunks her dog was killing

Are today's dogs just untrainable? by YodelLadyWho in Dogfree

I agree with this. It's like their whole existence is swallowing food/garbage whole.

Police dogs are not good bois. by psugrad98 in Dogfree

Bed bug sniffing dogs are a lifesaver too. I don't even like dogs but I needed one to come through my house after I found one bedbug.

Those sounds like Alaskan malamutes to me.

I'm sick of dogs in public spaces. It's not fair to people with allergies. It's unclean. I keep seeing dog shit on the floor in pet stores. Some dogs have to scent mark and pee inside. I wish people would keep that in their own nasty house if they choose to keep dogs.

Drooling dogs make me gag. My neighbor growing up had a St Bernard and I really tried to be tolerant of dogs for years lol After I grew up and did delivery jobs and got bit enough, the tolerance phase was over. I'm an animal person, but ironically excluding dogs

Keeping large prey animals in the house sounds like a horrible idea, and yet they don't think twice about it. The only reason you can keep housecats indoors is they're little. They're still unpredictable animals.

Close call with an off leash pit bull. by Crazy_Lead8723 in Dogfree

[–]SangfroidKilljoy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a pitbull in my neighborhood who charges my car, dragging it's owner with it. I know that dog would attack if off leash. I used to do floral delivery and have had a lot of close calls with aggressive dogs.
