Dr. Bartholomew believes the diplomats and the CIA agents suffered anomalous health incidents, but he doesn’t believe it could cause a brain injury? Then he says he believes that these people should definitely be compensated. Why would the government pay for an anomalous incident and not an injury? He says these people (diplomats and CIA agents) will have suffered these AHIs anyway. WHAT? To me it seems he’s saying that at some point in ALL our lives we will suffer from a vertigo experience ANYWAY?
Len, I liked the fact that you never gave up on your question. You wanted a clear and concise answer and he always diverted to a short story. I thought it was a great interview. Sorry I missed it two years ago.
You are absolutely right! Psychology Today is a magazine for the general public, not a professional peer-reviewed journal. You will not find a diagnosis for Havana Syndrome in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual because Havana Syndrome is not a psychiatric disorder.It is caused by pulsed microwaves. The admission by the National Institute of Mental Health should be the last word on the matter. Ann Earle MSW, BSD
Coding is extremely important. No correct code - no CDC tracking.
There are codes for isolated symptoms but that's not sufficient. Currently, the ICD Codes for Havana Syndrome and AHI are Traumatic Brain Injury, Other (other being the non-kinetic kind), and Traumatic Brain Encephalopathy, Other ( Non-kinetic).
