Susannah Cahalan at TEDxAmsterdamWomen 2013

"Lucky" is how Susanna describes the fact that she is here, today, with us at TEDxAmsWomen. She remembers all the people who suffered the same before 2007, the year that the diagnosis was given a name. "Lucky" that this happened to her only 2 years after that, which meant she wasn't put in a mental institution.

The Doctor who saved her life is a Syrian and he had saved many lives since then , there are a lot of special doctors and special Engineers and creative people in Syria, now it's your turn to save them , to save Syria

[@jimbosammy4255]

The Dr. that recently made the correct diagnosis for a friend of mine was also Syrian. Took 3 weeks and 4 Dr's. to get it identified. IVIG, Steroids, and Seroquel and he seems to be recovering at 64 years of age. He had seizure 2 weeks after having a shunt placed. Then the AE set in with the same symptoms described here.

[@Traindmunkey]

I wouldnt calI myself a survivor, more surviving anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. I was misdiagnosed twice but finally five years ago on my third 'turn' they knew what to look for and had the right treatment. No cause has ever been explained for my relapses, so i'm only waiting if it happens again, as having it once is bad but if i've had it three times, there is a great possibilty i could have it again. I have gone at nearly 10 years between each episode prior but knowing warning signs help me to know if my mood is about to change to seek medical advise asap. What Susannah was talking about the hallucinations and thoughts entering your head is so familiar, it was so confusing and scary it is hard for some to imagine. Her book is a great read.

[@shrawasti798]

My bestfriend had viral encephalitis a few months back and she was incredibly lucky to have been diagnosed early on. She got the treatments she needed and now she is finally on the right track for recovery. When i met her for the first time after she came from the hospital, I couldn't believe that it was her. She couldn't talk or move without someone's help. For weeks she was just in that confused state where she didn't remember minor details like who was our history teacher in 10th grade (she got the disease when she was 17) She would randomly get paranoid and tell me that she was scared. it scared and confused me to see her like that but slowly she improved and now she is almost the person she was used to be and I believe she is getting better everyday. I'm just so glad she got the treatment she needed at the right time. I do believe that more awareness should be made about this disease and how easily it can be misunderstood. Thankyou for this TedTalk!!!

I am leaving this comment as I am sitting outside of the of our neurologist's vet office while my mini dachshund is getting her chemo treatment. I wish I could personally thank the doctor, the sweet girl whom went through this and her family for sticking by her. Our dog has made it to the age of five because of them! She has been fighting for a long time! We thought she had a stroke after her 4th birthday. We watched her start to have symptoms months before. Our normal Veterinarian kept thinking it was different things. After her not being able to hold food down for a long time. She was emaciated and we had to take her to an big city emergency vet because our appointment was not for another couple of weeks. She wouldn't' have made it. She stayed there for a week on IVs for fluids to keep her going and had to have a feeding tube put in her neck. They did extensive testing. Then they explained what was happening, we knew it would be a long road. A week ago I heard about her book and watched the movie 2 days ago. I cried seeing what she went through and she couldn't communicate what she was going through to us being an animal. She is an amazing girl! A fighter and we are her soldiers fighting every step of the way with her. 💪 We are not done yet. She won't be the same before but she is alive and doing so much better. I wish I could pin medals on everyone's chest that has led the way for this disease and tell them how much I love them. Without all of them she would not have made it this far. 😘

[@discipleG3101]

[@hippieatheart90]

I think it's great that she tells her story to spread awareness of this rare disease (!), but I think it's problematic that she never mentions that even mental illness can be treated. And that it is not the end of the world if someone suffers from it. Of course, the diagnosis of suffering from mental illness is absolutely devastating, but by emphasizing the fact that fortunately she wasn't "insane", she helps stigmatize mental illness.

[@shieh.4743]

I agree. And worse to me is the assumption that a mental illness diagnosis is a medical diagnosis. It isn't. It's a diagnosis of symptoms with no known root causes. Indeed she absolutely had schizoaffective disorder because she fully met the criteria. What separates her from others is only that the root cause was uncovered and treated correctly.

[@artastic_23]

I don’t think that was her intention.

[@rupanwitadas3792]

I just watched the movie did a little research on her and ya it's really nice that she shared her story and it can help others but the symptoms showed and everything i have gone through it all i have had multiple MRIs , blood drawn and a lot of other medical procedures that take toll on your body and i am diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. But because these are so stigmatized i had to go through all those medical procedures cause no one wants to believe it. We aren't insane even mental illness is a disease in itself there are scientific researches that show there are hormone level problems or genetics that cause it. I just felt understanding she is coming from a pov of increasing awareness of this rare disorder but at the same time she is stigmatizing mental health and cronic illnesses like schizophrenia.

Great speech! What a happy ending! There are people in nursing homes and psychiatric hospitals that probably have this disease! I wonder if this is the same as PANDAS!

It's very interesting! Maybe there's a connection to both diseases! Well thanks for sharing your story! God bless you!

[@Whatmakesusmad]

Dear Susannah, There are many types of encephalopathy. Because your condition manifested as psychosis, you did have a psychiatric disorder. “Psychosis Due to General Medical Conditions” is a diagnosis in the DSM5. It is a travesty of justice that mental health advocates from NAMI continue to reject Best Practice Assessment of psychosis and allow patients suffering from encephalopathy to be labeled "mentally ill" and treated with a blanket pharmaceutical approach, all while receiving financial support from the pharmaceutical industry. Thank you for helping to call attention to this wide-scale flaw in our mental health care system.

[@aubreyphillips6601]

there are different variations of encephalopathy, that's true, but in her book she spelled it 'encephalitis', which is actually more specific. Encephalitis is simply inflammation of the brain, but encephalopathy is a more general term that describes like any change in the brain function/structure (like damage or disease)

First of all: I am so touched by her story and truly think she is blessed with her recovery. Some say it wont be able that is was a sign from God, but she wasn't put through this, you couldn't hear this story she is telling right here, which means that so many people won't get informed about this disease which is the reason that so many people suffer for nothing actually. If this didn't happen to her, many people wouldn't be alive right now. It was a sign from God to save people and if u don't wanna believe it it's fine thats your choice i can't force you to. God wouldn't do something to someone without knowing that they wouldn't be able to be handle it. 😄 Even if you think that it has nothing to do with God, you know that everything has a reason and for her, it was to be able to tell us her story.

Joie, in case you are still curious, I recently underwent my own battle with Anti-NMDA Receptor Autoimmune Encephalitis. While I'm still making my way through Susannah's book, in my case there was no known source and the best guess my doctors had was that I contracted a virus that could have been dormant from a year ago, from my time in school, or something I picked up a month prior to my hospitalization during my summer break. Often, however, the cause can be a tumor in the body or for young women, a growth in the ovaries.

What I find frustrating is that she doesn't seem to make the connection that Schizophrenia is not any more a "mental illness" than what she was suffering from. The only difference is that she was lucky enough to find the root cause of her brain issues. Isn't a "psychiatric case" just a disorder affecting the brain that we don't see? Maybe if we stopped refering to them as having a "psychiatric" condition as though that is an answer to their problems, perhaps we would find ways to bring them back to reality.
