> My mental block is a brain injury that went undiagnosed until I was 30. Would you be OK with elaborating on this a bit more?

  Yes. What would you like to know? I am better at answering specific questions. The injury was diagnosed via SPECT scan. Two of them: one after mental activity, one after physical relaxation. This also revealed that my brain relaxes with mental activity, and "lights up" with physical relaxation.

    do you know how/when you got the injury? What prompted you to get the scan?
    • growingkittens 3y ago
      No, I don't know how. The clinic also took a medical history and said, based on my symptoms, it probably happened in early childhood as a baby. I always knew there was "something" wrong with me, so I jumped at the opportunity to get a brain scan. The clinic was a little suspect in that they claimed to be able to diagnose mental health issues via the scan, but they combined the scan with more traditional evaluations.
