Spells Of Disorientation, Tiredness, Confusing Bouts Of Emotion. Is It Physical Order Or Psychological?
Hi, Over the last several months my partner has been experiencing spells where he is disoriented, doesn't know where he is or what's happening. These episodes are brief but repeated over a 24hr period, after which he is very tired. He has now having huge confusing bouts of emotion where he is experiencing feelings of nostalgia, grief, anger etc. Are these symptoms of a physical disorder or is it likely to be psychological?

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
The symptoms you have mentioned are likely to be psychological and you need a psychiatrist consultation for this.Even infectious diseases,neurological disorders cause such type of symptoms.In my opinion this may be a depression disorder and you need appropriate treatment for this to prevent future complications.Hope this information answers your query.Thank you.

Hi
Repeated Spells of disorientation followed by tiredness is a most probable symptom of seizure disorder. You should get EEG done and MRI brain to see if there is a structural lesion
GOOD LUCK
