The Other Symptoms They Don’t Tell You About
The Paill Spectrum model also states that a depressed patient who is not treated effectively for Paill Spectrum depression , will experience other symptoms that are currently not thought to be associated with depression.
Strange thoughts and beliefs and memory loss are basic examples.
Other more complex symptoms include unknown disorders such as Process Sequencing Disorder, Thought Association deterioration, Dyslexia (in younger affected patients), and psychosis.
Paill Spectrum Depression makes many people into "basket" or "trolley" cases, as their life begins to fall apart. They stop looking after themselves and lose confidence in many aspects of their daily lives. Depressed people lose interest in their environment.

DR Xxxxx :
Often Unrecognised Symptoms of Paill Spectrum in Depressed Patients include:
- Sore regions of the body such as sore elbows (tennis or golfers elbows),
- Sore chest
- Sharp chest jabs often called by doctors: atypical chest wall pains: not your heart, (non-cardiac).
- Poor balance
- Sweaty Hands.
Common Adult Paill Spectrum Symptoms
The current medical model says that these symptoms have nothing to do with a depression. The Paill Spectrum model predicts that they are likely to be found in a patient with depression. Aches and pains are more common in mid-adulthood, while symptoms such as sweaty hands are common from even early ages, though they do tend to "burn out" in older adults.
Common Adult Paill Spectrum Symptoms
- Poor memory: failing ability to recall phone numbers
- Narrow mindedness
- Mood volatility: rapid escalations or changes in mood state with the affected people often being easily distracted
- Capacity to show “rage”
Happy Families are the lucky exception not the rule, due to Paill Spectrum - The current medical model says that poor memory or forgetfulness may occur if people are feeling unwell.
The Paill Spectrum model predicts that this symptom is part of a long term deterioration process that is inherently part of and associated with, the depressive illness. - Narrow mindedness is not mentioned in the standard model of depression.
This symptom is an inherent part of the Paill Spectrum disease process. It is however difficult to assess and may be only obvious to co-workers of the affected person. The affected person forgets things, does not think to do things and for example, begins to annoy their co-workers by not even realizing that they need to do things to keep their workplace running. e.g. "No one told me that I need to empty the rubbish bins", even though they are overflowing onto the floor.
- Mood volatility and irritability are described as minor issues in the standard model of depression.
An Angry Face : common in Paill Spectrum
In the Paill Spectrum model, mood volatility and irritability are an important symptom of the progression of the disease. Again, the only persons often realizing that there are problems, are the family members and relatives of the affected person. Sometimes , if it is the boss affected, of course everyone knows about the irritability. Personality issues are very important in the assessment of this symptom. Irritability is a much more important symptom if found in a placid personality type.

DR Xxxxx : All these symptoms are expected in the Paill Spectrum model. They may precede , accompany, follow or occur independently of a depression:
Short little episodes of panics or jitters
Failing relationships
Impulsive behaviour
Distorted memories
These symptoms are all markers for a disease that may be affecting a person's life. Many of these symptoms only become obvious when they are looked for over a time frame of decades.
DR Xxxxx :
Short little episodes of panics or jitters
Often lasting only seconds, then disappearing for prolonged periods.
The standard depression model accepts that people can become anxious or get the jitters.
But, the Paill Spectrum model says that even short little bursts of jitters (seconds long), are an important marker of the Paill Spectrum disease process. These jitters will often precede the appearance of the depression proper, by many months or years. People almost never worry about the mild jitters as they go away very readily and never seem to cause much disturbance in letting people get on with their lives.
DR Xxxxx : Failing relationships:
The partners of these people often think they are mad, as the depressed people develop intense fixations on particular ideas or beliefs. These beliefs are inconsolable and are often unable to be changed by discussions with people around them. They can be quite divorced from an understanding of life, such as “real men always watch the news. You can't be a real man unless you sit and watch TV and watch the news. (Many people live their lives in many different ways and what is important for one person may have no value at all to another. Still, the intensely held belief arises as if from nowhere).
There are a number of people who have a failed relationship and say it is because their partner is mad. Friends and carers look at these people with sympathy, never often realizing the vein of truth in the statement. Their partner may in fact have some fixed ideas that are unusual enough to be called mad by many others.
Irritability also contributes substantially to relationship problems and often precedes the appearance of a depression by quite some time. The Paill Spectrum model would predict this, while the standard model would say it is just some personality issues as there is nothing wrong with the person, yet.
A person with just irritability as a symptom, is likely heading for depression or worse in the Paill Spectrum disease model.
DR Xxxxx : Impulsive behaviour: stupid things done for stupid reasons, occasionally causing harmful social or legal consequences.
A serious late symptom of Paill Spectrum depression is distorted memories: The affected person remembers things. People who know the person well, realise that the things the patients are saying they remember, are quite untrue. This symptom typically occurs only in elderly adult patients. Distorted memories can occur independently of mood changes, but will of course always be found in association with other PaillSpectrum symptoms, signs or blood test changes.
Spelling is affected by Paill Spectrum via effects on memory and on Speech Symbol Processing ( Alphabet character misrecognition).
Maths is a group of complex abstract processing skills.

Erasmus met Dr Xxxxx and over a number of years grew to develop a belief in the problems of our world.
Erasmus is an old dog, but he reckons he still can do new tricks. He’s been around, and up and down a few dry creek beds in his lifetime .Born into servitude at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, Erasmus quickly realised the world could be a hostile and dangerous place. Puppies disappeared daily, never to be seen again.
Kinkajou: Features in our web sites as an adventurer but he is equally accomplished in the art of reasoning and has often followed the comments of Erasmus to their logical conclusion. His belief in the truth leads him to always "tell it true". This is the world as it can be seen and this is the real world.
Dr AXxxxx. Simply best described as a cold inhuman bastard, Erasmus says we are indeed lucky to have this paranoid psychopath on our side. In spite of his antecedents, his perspective is valuable for us to use to understand our world. Dr AXxxxx’s past background is in taking charge and being master at the helm of the ship of destiny. Control is the ultimate goal. Nothing must stand in the way of control. Domination not cooperation. Suspect your enemies and kill them first, preferably after extracting all useful information. Your destiny is yours to make and to take. Vengeance is a heady mix to this paranoic murderer.
The Commandant: Head of our security detail, the Commandant believes in doing the right thing and always considering safe options. However, his view of what is right is coloured by association with Erasmus, Kinkajou and the doctors Xxxxx.
Frobisher & Beethoven: These guys are our bullywot "security mooks", Frobisher is the literate one while Beethoven provides just more raw muscle power. While Officious and Intolerant of transgressions, they none the less have a sensitive and fragile side to their natures, an aspect their personality totally at odds with their aggressive and fierce appearance.
