Psychological Adjustment and Cavernoma 

Thank you very much sir ! microMan

As a retired neuropsychologist who a first big bleed from a cavernoma in the the left cerebellum when 71 I’m on the personal medical side. Having a well organized approach and mindfulness are important. After that some at least mostly nonjudgmental friends and informal support can help. I also had never seen a cavnoma patient in decades of work with older adults as the majority are younger people. In that regard this is a most devastating diagnosis. Therapy therefore needs to be aware these patients are dealing with ongoing loses. Friends and family will be dealing with loss and may have to make hard decisions. Letting of all shoulds finding meaning can be done but meaning needs to be defined by the individual. Usually also means letting go of expectations. In future presentations may be helpful to better define what a cavernoma is I.e., small cluster of capillaries. You seem like a sensitive young professional. Keep up the good work
