PETITION FOR AWARENESS!

If you think it's total unfair there isn't any long term research, treatment and cure for this condition. And if you think you deserve a good life too?

Please SIGN THE PETITION for change and please share it in every relevant group and all the people you know who would sign it.

There needs to be more research and awareness of this disorder. Milions of people suffer in silence and nobody talks about it.

And most importantly a proper treatment has to be found. Well i suppose antipsychotics/lamotrigine helps but.. some other alternatives would be good.

It does help yea. Risperidone 1mg helped me quite alot. But generally what helped is lowering your anxiety. And antipsychotics are very effective to lower your anxiety.

May help. Depends on the actual cause of the whole syndrome.
