Hi, I was diagnosed and treated for a 3cm pineal germinoma and subsequent hydrocephalus about two years ago. What I don't really ever hear except from a few isolated cases, people suffering from mental problems do to this, like psychosis and depersonalization? These two features were very aggressive in my case way before I started to suffer from headaches caused by brain swelling and hydrocephalus. The reason why I make the connection to my pineal tumor and these symptoms, is because I could feel the tumor like a stroke or a sharp pang in the center of my brain which would then trigger a psychotic episode. I was also extremely intolerant to any psychoactive medications I was ever given, resulting in my almost being killed on several occasions by treatment and therapies that I could not tolerate in the slightest. I was misdiagnosed in my rightful opinion, for about ten years with a psychiatric disorder before the tumor grew big enough to cause the hydrocephalus, which brought on the onset of the migraine attacks and my doctors finally complying to my repeated request for a CT scan. As well, in the past I suffered from blinding mental visions that became, at their peck, much stronger then the actual visual sight of my eyes -- I would conclude that this was do to the pineal gland and the fact that it is believed to be our third or mind's eye? Anyway, has anyone else experienced psychiatric symptoms do to the mass in their pineal gland?

Could you please explain these "weird" feelings that you feel in the brain? I have a 9cm pineal "cyst". I have the headaches, nausea, dizziness, vision problems, confusion/concentration problems, etc... I also had a stroke in 2001, for which I had brain surgery to remove the clot.

(That's how the "cyst" as they want to keep calling it was found, but I was never informed of it being there.) I found out about it myself by looking at my charts on my medical website a few years later. Any time I ask my doctor if that could be what's causing my symptoms I keep getting told, "No, those cysts don't cause any symptoms or problems." But, yet it feels like someone is inside my skull squishing and squeezing on my brains... And believe me, I know what it feels like to have someone's hands inside my brain...you have to be awake during brain surgery to make sure they don't go in too far and cause more even damage...the only time you're put to sleep is long enough to open up your skull. Your supposed to be put back to sleep when they staple your skull back together, but I wasn't...but, anyway, I was trying to find out if 9cm pineal "cyst" could be causing my problems...Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi, I have been searching the internet specifically to find information on Pineal Cysts and "Mental Illness". I currently have about 5 different diagnosises for psycological conditions and wonder if the cysts can and do affect mood, personality and emotional regulation. Amongst my diagnosis are Sensory Processing Disorder, Misophonia, ADHD, and extreme Anxiety and Panic Disorders.

I don't, but I was diagnosed with schizoaffective and ADHD inattentive-subtype. Before medications, I used to have severe panic attacks. I've often wondered about the role of endocrinial biology and chemistry in psychiatric diagnoses.. My intuition tells me that genetics and environment create variation in biological systems..

I was just diagnosed with a pineal cyst, 1.1 cm. At times, I feel a sharp pain, deep in the center of my brain, at which point my patience and tolerance vanishes, and I start yelling at my kids, husband, or become extremely agitated. Things that don't normally annoy me (or that I usually find cute or endearing) become unacceptable. So, I believe I understand what you are feeling.

I was just diagnosed with 1.1 cm pineal cyst. I have extreme sensitivity to light, touch, sound, and smell. In the past 1.5 years, I started suffering from anxiety, panic, agoraphobia. Before that, I went anywhere (literally) and did everything. No fear. I h
ope this helps. :)

My son has a pineal cyst that was found after he suffered severe migraines to the point he wanted to die. The ER put him to sleep and on oxygen. They too never informed us of the cyst I found it when I read the radiology report. I took him to who I thought was a neurosurgeon, who ordered anther MRI and where the radiologist adivsed of another MRI with contrast to be done. The doctor didn't do this test. Instead prescribed steroid pills and said he would handle the matter by phone in the future. Few years later my son has a breakdown. They admit him with psychosis for a week. No one listens about the cyst in the pineal gland. A few weeks after discharged his episodes get worse. He is voluntarily admitted to psych ward and they kept him for weeks. They were going to take his rights away and put him in long term care. No one would listen about the cyst in the pineal gland. My husband removes him from the facility. This is a young man who has had a lot of trauma in his life and including losing everything in Hurricane sandy. I have him going to outpatient clinics. Last suffer again he has a breakdown and can't think straight. He is agitated and can't hold onto jobs. On occasions he asked to be taken to the hospital and again he is ignored by doctors. He states his brain is on fire and his head feels strange. He then gets into trouble. The attorney asks me to prove to him that the pineal cyst causes psychosis. I went to pub med and search pineal gland and psychosis and where 20 citations came up. They knew since 1992 that the pineal cysts cause psychosis and schizophrenia and allowed people to suffer. It is also know that aluminum phosphate used in vaccines bind to the pineal gland and cause these cysts. Aluminum causes rage and is known as a neurotoxin. Phosphate is phosphorous and was used as a bioweapon. These cysts are being found in the most vaccinated generation ever and their ages are twenty to thirty-five. It is time for science to tell the truth and fix the harm it has caused to so many lives from autism, alzeheimers, to all neurological diseases

To help those suffering psychosis, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses have a cat scan and MRI and see if a cyst is in the pineal gland. The pineal gland secretes melatonin (a hormone) that regulates sleep (circadian clock) and helps remove toxins from the brain. Lack of sleep effects moods and causes hallucinations and vision problems etc. Go to pubmed and you will find citations on research done on psychiatric patients. They found that these cysts are causing psychosis, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Yet neurologists and psychiatrists are not telling the patients. Why? Why are they allowing people to lose their minds. Did the metals in vaccines cause these cysts and they don't want the public to know the truth. You will find citations about aluminum phosphate used in vaccines causing autism (another mental illness and alzeheimers). Yet, they keep making vaccines and forcing them on infants and children. They can't cure cancer, diabetes etc., yet they say they can prevent viruses that just keep popping up. PUBMED PMID 207762 Pineal melatonin in schizophrenia, PMID 1305641 Pineal gland and the mode onset of schizophrenia, For Michael J Fox PMID 2269599 Pineal melatonin functions: possible relevance to Parkinson's disease, PMID 1365044 Pineal calcification and melatonin secretion to the pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia and Tourette's syndrome. Are they causing people to go insane deliberately? Metals are used in electronics to send and receive signals, why are they being used in medicines, foods, cosmetics? People with psychosis hear voices or are they hearing commands being sent to them at nano wavelengths as a control mechanisms as was done to the prisoners at Holmesburg under MKULTRA program by the CIA and Army? This is so sad that there is no longer trust and human beings are being tortured and tormented and driven insane. Any physician who knew their patient had a cyst in the pineal gland and did not notify the patient of the consequences of these cyst nor remove them and have they biopsied for toxicity needs to be barred. They duty is to save their patient not destroy them.

Oh my God. I am so sorry to hear what your son has gone through. I totally understand when he means when he says his brain is on fire. I can’t believe that they know the pineal cyst would cause that and not do anything about it that is so upsetting they’d rather make money off of labeling people mentally ill and actually helping them with the root cause of the problem. I have a 15 mm pineal cyst and I’m right now waiting to see a neurosurgeon in Houston Texas and I’m going to most likely have surgery removing it. my most recent symptoms have been hallucinations but before that I had no hallucinations whatsoever so I totally understand your pain did you guys ever get it resolved?

Yes, that is who I am going to see. Even more confirmation that I’m on the right path.

Hello, I <unfortunately> know too much about traumatic brain injury:

In 2006, I was exposed to chronic low-level anti-freeze fumes from my defective Lexus SC430. The radiator expansion tank has a defect that was allowing heated anti-freeze to leak onto the manifold of the car while driving. Took the dealer 11 months to resolve the problem.

After providing the "id**t" Doctors with my diagnosis of "Toxic Encephalopathy" at FOUR Philadelphia hospitals (and being ignored), I finally received treatment in 2013. By that time 40% of my immune system was not functional; I had Neural Sensitization so bad, that body parts would swell like I had broken bones (angio-edema); my bladder was so inflamed that Doctors thought I had bladder cancer; I couldn't complete a sentence; and the linings of my brain and spine were disintegrating (Amen Clinic diagnosis).

Some 10 months later, after treatment with high does of Gabapentin (Neurontin) almost ALL of my symptoms were gone. Bladder was good; angio edema outbreaks stopped; was able to think and speak normally again; and I began working a normal job again. Started dating again and started a family in 2016. 

Unfortunately, NOT a happy ending (yet). My 14 month old beautiful son received 11 vaccinations in a period of 6 weeks in  Summer of 2017. He went from a 23 word vocabulary to a mute in about 8 days after his last shots (which included Dtap).

I suspected Aluminum toxicity, and a urine test sent to the Mayo Clinic confirmed same. Although the "Mayo Clinic" will not set a standard for <17 yrs old, the FDA sets it at 25 mcg. An MRI revealed that he has a Pineal cyst (tumor).

He is getting treatment with Glutathione and Choline three times a day, with a number of different minerals such as Magnesium and Zinc (based off of blood work). If he misses a dose "we" pay for it the next day. A year after beginning treatment, he sounds like a "stroke victim" with seriously slurred speak (difficult to understand). His height and weight are equivalent to a 4 year old (he is 2 1/2). Apparently Aluminum Toxicity in addition to stunting growth, can also accelerate it. 

I hope this was helpful?
