No she doesn't see anyone and hasn't for several years now. I have to find a way to broach the topic with her to convince her to see someone, not sure how to accomplish that as of yet. I am thinking of seeing my primary physician to learn what I can do to handle this better and who I can speak with to help get advice on how to work with her and work toward identifying and resolving some of the current issues. I'm not sure how much of the diagnostic spectrum they covered in their testing. At the time of the big episode she was in the hospital for 9 days and then saw the sleep specialist as well as a bunch or other psychiatric specialists. It was a while ago, they also had her on some medication right after the big episode while she was doing the sleep study. The name of the medication escapes me at the moment (I think it started with a Lev*?) but they took her off it fairly quickly.

As far, as I am aware about hysteria, (conversion disorder), her moods sound like something much different, than the conversion disorder. There can be co-morbid disorders, psychologically speaking. Do, the neuros, have her, at least come in for regular check ups? They didn't find any abnormalities, whatsoever, to explain this? They coverered the entire MCDonald's diagnostic criteria, before declaring, conversion?
