Encephalopathy (/ɛnˌsɛfəˈlɒpəθi/; from Ancient Greek: ἐνκέφαλος "brain" + πάθος "suffering") means any disorder or disease of the brain, especially chronic degenerative conditions.[1] In modern usage, encephalopathy does not refer to a single disease, but rather to a syndrome of overall brain dysfunction; this syndrome has many possible organic and inorganic causes. The hallmark of encephalopathy is an altered mental state or delirium. Characteristic of the altered mental state is impairment of the cognition, attention, orientation, sleep-wake cycle and consciousness.[2] An altered state of consciousness may range from failure of selective attention to drowsiness.[3] Hypervigilance may be present; with or without: cognitive deficits, headache, epileptic seizures, myoclonus (involuntary twitching of a muscle or group of muscles) or asterixis ("flapping tremor" of the hand when wrist is extended).[3]
Depending on the type and severity of encephalopathy, common neurological symptoms are loss of cognitive function, subtle personality changes, and an inability to concentrate. Other neurological signs may include dysarthria, hypomimia, problems with movements (they can be clumsy or slow), ataxia, tremor.[2] Other neurological signs may include involuntary grasping and sucking motions, nystagmus (rapid, involuntary eye movement), jactitation (restlessness while in bed),[citation needed] and respiratory abnormalities such as Cheyne-Stokes respiration (cyclic waxing and waning of tidal volume), apneustic respirations and post-hypercapnic apnea. Focal neurological deficits are less common.[3]
Wernicke encephalopathy can co-occur with Korsakoff alcoholic syndrome, characterized by amnestic-confabulatory syndrome: retrograde amnesia, anterograde amnesia, confabulations (invented memories), poor recall and disorientation.[4]
Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is the most common autoimmune encephalitis. It can cause paranoid and grandiose delusions, agitation, hallucinations (visual and auditory), bizarre behavior, fear, short-term memory loss, and confusion.[5]
HIV encephalopathy can lead to dementia.

If you get toxic-metabolic, they ventilate you til you start having a gag reflex again, then they tie you to the bed and give you haldol til you stop seeing stuff and screaming.

I believe I have toxic-metabolic encephalopathy. I had prolong exposure to Neurotoxins and then months later started the decline of my cognition. I’ve been to a couple neurologists they just give me a mri and say there’s nothing wrong and send me home. I gave up trying like a year ago. But the decline hasn’t stopped. And it’s really affecting my ability to function and maintain care of myself. It’s a real life nightmare.

You should do a video on toxic drug induced encephalopathy. An how it can be caused by long term opiod use, ssris , anticonvulsants like benzos. Noone ever talks about this. I dont think most people know about this. But it does happen tho. Its important that people know this. I got taken off a benzo after 9 years of use, an have been suffering frim horrible symptoms for 1 year an a half. An i have all the exact symptoms as toxic enceph. So i looked into it an found out that benzos can cause this to happen. I would like to know your thoughts on this. An dont ask me how i found this out its a long story. But ive done alot of research an its undeniable that people that are sufferung frim benzo damage may indeeed hsve drug induced enceph. They just dont know it because noone wouod ever think about.

Thank you for sharing your experience; it's crucial to raise awareness about toxic drug-induced encephalopathy, as long-term use of medications like opioids, SSRIs, and benzodiazepines can indeed have severe neurological effects.

@@MedicalCentric I think something like 30 million or more people are on benzos. You know how many are suffering from then? Probably millions. But nothing is ever done avout this because there's no way to prove the Harm. Or atlesst thats what people have been led to beleivs. Because it can be detected threw spinal tap. I encourage you to plesse spread this info. It could help msny people suffering. Godbless. I'm gonna try an get a spinal tap done. A

Consult with a healthcare provider to explore treatment options tailored to your specific condition and medical history. Addressing the underlying cause and following a personalized treatment plan is essential for managing the effects of hypoxia.

Toxic drug induced has all the same symptoms people experience when tsken off ssris or benzos. I thini its becsuase they hsve brain inflamattion. Because the benzos can cause nuero cell death. An have a devastimg impact on the cns. Toxic encephalooathy is s nuero dysfunction. So if makes sense that benzos or really any drug that alters the cns can cause toxic enceph.

@MedicalCentric Ай бұрын

Benzodiazepines and SSRIs can indeed cause symptoms similar to toxic encephalopathy due to their impact on the central nervous system and potential for inducing neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death.

@@MedicalCentric thanks for the reply. I want more people to know about this becsuse it can be detected threw a spinal tap. If more people knew they could get more help for it. An also, they could take legal action against a phyciatrist that over prescribed it and failed too mention anything about the dangers of ssris an benzos. Its high time people likd that start getting held accountable. The only reason that people cant take legal action is cause they have no proof of any harm done by the drug. If they got a spinal tap it could detect nueroinflanattion. An the only explanation is cause the benzos if there's no other leading causes. With this proof thd judge would have no choices to address this. This could be the stsrt of something great. It's time that phycistrist starr getting justice done. It will help stop future generations from getting hurt asweell. Godbless you. An thanks again for aknoloing My original comment. Most ignore it. That really be be great if you could help spread this information. I'm also going too start making videos. Nit sure when yet tho. Millions of people sre suffering from benzos an ssris. An nothing is being done about it. An aslong as people are kept in the dark about this ,, then they will continue to suffer an the phyciatris or whoever prescribed them misconductedly will never be held accountable. An I don't want this to come off as rude or snything,, but if you spread this information an talked about how it can be detected threw a spinal tap then it would probably get your channel more views too..people want to know this stuff. I'm just try7ng to spread this all around. I've watched probably a thousand videos on benzos an phyc meds. An Noone hss even mentioned a spinal tap detecting the benzo damage. Because Noone knows or thinks about it. It could potentially help alot of people. I'm not saying all phycistrists are bad,, but the ones that are,, are keeping people on these drugs way too long. Months to even years. An they do not warn there pateints about any of the potential dangers. Then they'll rapidly taper there pateints or even cold turkey them after the pateint was on it for 10 or more years. That is extremely dangerous an criminal. It's no wonder peoole are suffering. Anthen if the pateint says anything to there phyiciatrist , they'll gaslight them because they know what there doing is wrong. I've seen a mulluin times on the internet. People are suffering alone because Noone beleives them. Peoples lives are being ruined while phyciatrist just walk away scott free. People deserve to know the truth an ill keep spreading the truth. Benzos are one of the most highly prescribed drugs in America. I think like 30 million people are on benzos. Imagine how many of those people are suffering? Nothing is ever done about it tho becsuss they think thersz no way to prove if. But there is an It's threw a spinal tap.
