Long term effects of encephalitis and Mental health issues

by africangreylover, Jul 05, 2007 04:20PM
I had encepalitis when i was 2 1/2 years old. I was in a coma for 8 days.
I have been living with chronic depression, Eating disorder NOS, avoidance disorder, i feel sick all the time, and i believe i have had Adult ADD. My question is, Is there any corelation between Encephalitis and mental health problems, or has there not been enough research on the subject to know? Also, do you have any idea of any research that is going on now.
i am now 45. Please help.

Very interesting post.  My husband had encephalitis at age 3 and is now 49 years old.  He suffers from many of the things you have described and more.  I have been wondering the same thing and am coming to the unskilled conclusion that, yes, it is true.  Getting the appropriate treament seems like the issue at hand.  I am at a loss, but not giving up.

By the way, we also have an African Grey.  She is the love of his life (besides me, of course).
