[QUOTE="Steely, post: 59895, member: 3301"] I am not sure I would be quick to dismiss this cyst as not being related to your daughter's psyche issues. Has a Dr told you it was nothing to worry about? I am not a Dr, but the brain is very complicated. Even a small blip within the brain, depending on where it is sitting, can cause problems. The Pineal Gland sits next to the Pituitary Gland, and therefore the cyst's pressure on the Pituitary could be stimulating some sort of excess in hormones, or not enough - or because the Pineal Gland helps set the Circadian Rhythm, it could be inducing S.A.D.....I mean, really, the list is endless. My Dad has a brain tumor - and although it sits in the left frontal lobe - there is absolutely no way for the doctors to know what functions he will lose. There is also a very high risk of serious depression with brain tumors - and it is the tumor that causes them, not whether they are benign or not. No matter what, a foreign body in the brain, can cause havoc with the whole body. [/QUOTE]
