I recommend that you find another psychiatrist. Psychosomatic? You've gotta be kiddin'!I've seen psychiatrists and a neurologist but everyone says it's psychosomatic,[...] I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me? Should I start a Nootropic regimen? Thanks...

Well, they don't all say that, I'm seeing multiple therapists, in general they are stupid though...

Have you tried deprenyl, nal-tyrosine or dlpa?
Have you tried tianeptine?
Perhaps a detox supplement will help you if your cause is from heavy metal buildup, but if you have brain damage then I am not sure.
I feel foggy if I don't get enough choline, but it sounds like your problem is much more than just that.

Is there anything like a consensus (or at least most popular) diagnosis? If you've seen a number of psychiatrists, there's a fair chance that a couple of them actually have it right.Well, they don't all say that, I'm seeing multiple therapists, in general they are stupid though...I recommend that you find another psychiatrist.

If you want to try and boost memory then perhaps you could try
1000mg acetyl-l-carnitine (morning on empty stomach)
100mcg Huperzine A (morning on empty stomach)
250mg of citicholine (morning with food)

I would also consider taking an adaptogen to help you deal with the stress

I would stay away from meds or pharmaceuticals whilst you are seeing psychiatrists.

What is an adaptogen and are they real?

Zoo, I assume you mean other than the meds prescribed by the psychiatrist. Psychiatrists (at least in America) are MDs with a specialization in brain chemistry, so prescribing drugs is what they do. Some of them also do counseling, but people who only do counseling (psychologists) are usually less expensive.I would stay away from meds or pharmaceuticals whilst you are seeing psychiatrists.

In another thread you talked about a surgical procedure you had that did, euhm, need some retries to be successful. Could there be a link between that and your brain fogginess?For the last two or so years my brain has been in a severe fog. I have theories ............. a Nootropic regimen? Thanks...

I agree with the meditation recommendation, but I would recommend a good three day fast to go along with it. That'll clear up the fog and get him focused I'm sure.Before trying any nootropics I suggest you look for a less invasive solution. I frequently go into a brain fog type thing, it occurs on a normal basis and I think it just happens to everyone. Zoning out when someone is speaking directly to you is COMPLETELY normal, and I don't really think you need nootropics quite yet. My suggestion is meditation. If you feel lost in your thoughts and sometimes unable to focus well I think meditation is an excellent solution. Just take 10 minutes every day and sit in a quiet room with the lights off in a relaxed posistion and focus on breathing. Really. Make yourself put all of your focus on breathing -- try to have no other thoughts. If your brain jumps around to other thoughts simply come back to the breath and try to focus. After a while you will find yourself being able to focus more clearly on tasks at hand. Anyway, thats just my suggestion. Besides that just get enough sleep, eat well, exercise and I think you will be fine. I doubt that you need a diagnosis, however I can't really be the judge of that.
