>Is all change in brain anatomy & function to be considered damage? Our brains change in response to many things -- food, psychological stress, learning, drugs, environmental factors, etc.

Excellent contribution. Good question, true statement. A brain is a constantly changing thing. 'Brain plasticity' is the name of the beast, if my memory serves me right. Plasticity will have its limits, on the other hand. But I was a little quick in using the word 'damage'.



Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
