MENTAL DISEASE
HI,
I'm wondering if I have some sort of medical condition, if there's any term for this... or if it's just something that's fairly common... I haven't really talked to anyone about it, just wondering if anyone knew anything about this.When I was about 9 or 10, every month or so, my mind would sort of go blank. Things would start to seem slightly faster than it actually is. This only lasts for about 2 or 3 minutes. But during that time, if anyone talks it sounds much more urgent than it actually is (that is a very key aspect to how it happens, and it happens every single time), things seem panicked. I don't feel dizzy or lose control of motor skills, or the ability to act properly.
The whole thing usually stops when I start talking. Then everything slows down to match the speed of my voice. It's all very strange.
I haven't noticed any pattern to when or why this happens. It seems purely random.
PLEASE HELP ME

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A wrong perception of the speed at which time passes or one talks can be due to abnormal sensory perceptions, in this case it could be wrong hearing perceptions. Please consult a psychiatrist and a neurologist to completely investigate the cause for this.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Did they ever do an EEG on you?
I think of panic disorder when I read quite a bit of your description. Have you given any consideration to getting a psychiatric evaluation from a competent psychiatrist?
