Summary

Pseudobulbar affect or PBA is often a heavy burden to bear. Its symptoms are some of the most misunderstood behaviors.

In fact, it is not the actual symptoms that are hard to carry, but its impact to the patient. PBA patients often choose to withdraw from social interactions or relationships because of PBA. Aside from the shame brought about by PBA to the patient himself, even the family, friends, and caregivers may feel embarrassed because of the episodes.

This book will tell you about PBA, its definition, causes, and symptoms. It also has several assessments that you can use if you suspect yourself or someone of having PBA. This book will also provide you with a detailed discussion of the treatments involved, including each treatments side effects. Due to its similarities to other disorders such as depression or palsy, it is often misdiagnosed. The sooner a PBA patient is diagnosed, the sooner he can have access to various treatments available for PBA. Most antidepressants are used for treatment and a recent drug specifically targets the mechanism of which PBA works in the human body.

By listening to Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA), you will learn:

  • What is PBA?
  • How is it caused?
  • What are the symptoms?
  • What treatments are there?
  • How to assess yourself if you are suffering from PBA?
  • What are the pros & cons of the different types of treatments?
  • What are the success stories?
  • FAQ sheet and do's & don'ts

The lesson that you can best learn from this book is not the cause, effects, assessments, or FAQs, but of hope. PBA is a treatable disorder. It can be addressed, reduced, and most importantly overcome.
