About this listen

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.
