Symtom:
Ett symtomkomplex som består av huvudvärk, yrsel, trötthet, irritabilitet, minnessvårigheter, sömnsvårigheter, ljud-och ljuskänslighet.
Kliniska fynd:
Kliniska fynd saknas som regel.
Diagnostik:
I vissa fall behov av ytterligare undersökning. DT- eventuellt MR-undersökning är som regel redan utförd. Neuropsykiatrisk testning? Psykiatrisk bedömning?
