Hysteria and Havana Syndrome
This video was prompted by a recent news article about Havana Syndrome being connected to attacks on CIA officers. I am going to cover that historically unexplained neuropsychiatric symptoms or illness frequently has been labled as Hysteria. When the TBI injury from the Havana Syndrome was mild, many of the CIA officals and family members were mislabled (misdiagnosed)as being hysterical.

Methamphetamine - Induced Neurotoxicity
I read an article from a Las Vegas Newspaper which discussed deaths in Nevada over about a 9 year period in which several of the individuals had methamphetamine in their systems, and engaged in nonshooting police encounters where they die. The article commented that there is controversy regarding the use of methamphetamine cause death. This prompted me to discuss Methamphetamine neuortoxicity in today's video. I have the opinion that death can occur due to the use of Methamphetamine.
