i am a drug addict in recovery. been on meth, pills and legal highs for 2 years but although i have quit i have had various replases. I think i have Nucleus accumbens atrophy or some form of reward deficiency problem. How do I test for that? I have sexual anhedonia with ED and low sexual desire disorder (with all forms of enhancement medication including penile injections proving abortive), epileptic seizures where i lost control over my wrist and ankle which was quite a painful experience before the atrophy and audio hallucinations which i still experience even with taking antipsychotics. all forms of recreational drugs have seized to work during the relapse periods and this isn't a tolerance problem. i also have insomnia where i wake up several time in the night. am I correct to say my Nucleus accubens is damaged. what could be the other possible causes of these problems and is there a form of treatment. i hear deep brain simulation might be the way to go. I have no doctor in this part of the world
