After literally pulling a hand full of hair out of my head with roots and all when I was about 22, my mom rushed me to the number one neurologist in town (population 250,000 in South). I told him the same basic things you said to your quack when he proceeded to tell me that I just read this in a book, and was looking for drugs. WHAT!!! I almost jumped over his desk to deliver an equal amount of compassion for his thoughtful diagnosis. I of course did not stay, and saw him around town a few times when I know he saw me. He always seemed so tense when I was around. Anyway, years later after finding a real doctor and getting some treatment, I heard this quack developed some painful disease and killed himself. No lie. Irony in a painful world.
