Theory:  I THINK CSF LEAKS COULD BE THE INVISIBLE CULPRIT BEHIND MANY PEOPLE’S BATTLE WITH ADDICTION (ALCOHOLISM,SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SEX, GAMBLING ADDICTIONS, etc.)

I’ve learned so much about medicine and the body in the past few years. The more I learn, the more connections I make.  There are many articles that will tell you that a lack of dopamine and/or serotonin is what causes mood disturbances and disorders. So, why are some people lacking these hormones and others seem full? Why?

People can get CSF LEAKS from physical trauma, illness, surgery/procedures like epidurals and lumbar puncture.  When people get one, they often don’t know. They have no idea why they feel off. They just want to feel better. CSF LEAKS cause mood disturbances and personality disorders.

Q:Can a CSF leak cause cognitive issues?

A: YES
“Many of these patients experience cognitive, behavioral, and personality changes so severe that they are arrested or placed in nursing homes,” said Dr. Wouter Schievink, director of the Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak and Microvascular Neurosurgery Program and professor of neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai” (Feb 1, 2023)

So…how do CSF LEAKS cause anxiety/depression, mood disorders?  Cerebrospinal fluid contains both serotonin and dopamine. If the body is leaking cerebrospinal fluid (that stores both dopamine and serotonin), then it makes sense that you would suffer from depression and/or anxiety.

”…think of serotonin as the “happy” chemical and dopamine as the “pleasure” chemical. Serotonin regulates daily mood while dopamine regulates motivation”(Source: Nesswell.com, Serotonin vs. Dopamine: What’s The Difference? – Ness Card)

If you have a CSF LEAK, you are leaking the hormones that create happiness and motivation. I’m not saying all depression and anxiety is a result of CSF LEAKS but I have no doubt it’s responsible for the mental illness and addiction of many.

Why don’t doctors/therapists tell you this? In medical school, doctors learn CSF LEAKS are rare, which is a disservice to all of their future patients. I think CSF LEAKS are much more common than the medical field first suspected but they continue to go largely unnoticed because doctors aren’t looking for them. Also, CSF LEAKS can be hard to detect and treat.  They’re mostly invisible. Doctors have to look for leaking fluid within the body, and they don’t have a great way of doing that, yet.  

People need to be made aware that CSF LEAKS are more common so science will focus on them and create better detection methods and forms of treatment. Too many doctors have never questioned how common CSF LEAKS actually are and still think they’re rare. Other doctors know CSF LEAKS happen regularly (especially if a patient had surgery or gave birth-and had an epidural or spinal or lumbar puncture) but they don’t want patients to know that because they fear they would sell less epidurals, less spinal anesthesia (which always creates a CSF leak).

If people understood the dangers of anesthesia during birth, then less women would want anesthesia. Also, when the public becomes aware, doctors will start to be held responsible for causing CSF LEAKS (which causes spine damage and mental illness for mothers). If held accountable, I think big pharma could potentially go bankrupt for all of the damage they have knowingly caused.

Could a CSF leak be causing your mental illness? YES. Do mentally ill people fall into addiction when looking for ways to cope? YES.
It has benefitted big pharma & doctors to keep us in the dark, but now we can see the light. Let’s shine it on them!

Treating you with chemicals for the rest of your life is more profitable for big pharma than actually healing your health problem.  Big Pharma is profiting off of making people sick. If they can’t be trusted, why are we putting our health in their hands? Be your own advocate. We have the internet so we now all have the information access we need to fight this battle.Please take action if this is important to you. We have to raise awareness if things are going to change.
