Abstract:This article reports six cases of litigants claiming

neuropsychiatric impairment due to toxic mold exposure. In spite of recent

growth in

personal injury claims due to mold, numerous reviews of the literature have

failed

to find an association between environmental exposure to mold and

neuropsychiatric and/or neuropsychological damage. We report data on six

patients

claiming harm, 4 of whom revealed a long history of somatization by history and

psychological testing, and 2 of whom were shown to be malingering based on

multiple indicators of non-credible performance. Of the 6 patients, only the 2

somatoform patients who were also depressed showed credible evidence of

neuropsychological dysfunction. We review two other studies that have examined

the

link between mold exposure and cognitive impairment and discuss their

limitations in view of the presenting behaviors of these 6 patients. Until the

literature has established a credible link between mold and

neuropsychiatric/neuropsychological impairment, jurists and clinicians must

consider the ethics and

potential harm of exposing somatoform patients to multiple unwarranted medical

evaluations. Principles for forensic evaluations in this special population

are reviewed.

Sharon, was this used in the study of " the rollong unterus gathers

no moss " ? just wondering, because I remember saying that with the MCS

that just the building that a person was in at the time of takeing

any tests and how that building and whats in it would affect how

anyone does on a test. and gee, with the brain damage,Toxic

rncephalopathy it's hard enough. delayed thought process, messes with

me big time. it's not that my long term memory is not in tact it's

just that sometimes thoughts just dont come until later or something

triggers the memory. my short term is bad too. in other words, just

being asked a question can distract. you know, yesterday was brain

damage awareness day, lol's, I missed it. seems theres a lot of

people out there suffering while their brain damage goes

unreckonized. I would adcice anyone here to refuse testing like this

until they first are checked for brain damage. there's a hudge

difference between being a lier and the damage to the brain caused by

toxins exposure in a damp moldy environment. just another reason why

we need proper diagnoses and it may have rook me over 2 years to

research and try to understand what has happened to me when it

wouldn't have took near as long if I wasn't brain damaged. but

haveing this disease is what actuakky led the way, as hard as that

was. the knowing, without one single dought in my mind what caused it

has been my conviction. and waalaaa, theres no big mystery, nothing

that cant be explained about this illness and if I can research with

my brain injury theres no excuse why we are not haveing our illness

reconized and treated. NONE
