Just watched it. Very good program.
One think I noticed was that with both patients he explored past trauma.
But just because he found a possible explanation in the man's case in his period of homelessness, he didn't stop there and assume that was the cause or immediately line him up for therapy.
He continued to look for physiological causes, and found it in a genetically based high homocysteine problem, completely fixed with high dose B vitamins. No more talk of past trauma there!
In the case of the woman with panic attacks, he started with lifestyle changes, and eventually found a therapist she could trust who diagnosed PTSD and was continuing to work with her, but he also continued to work on the diet, alcohol and caffeine issues as well.
No drug treatments for either patient. Very refreshing.
I was going to say I wish he was my doctor, but I'm waiting to see what happens in the ME case later in the series.
