I wouldn't put too much credence on what Dr. Goldmeir and Dr. Kocsis say about Pois being a mental condition.

We need to FIGHT the "POIS = mental condition/origin" thinking wherever we can!!This one stupid prejudice has hurt all of us enormously.No one should ever accept a psychological/psychiatric diagnosis for POIS from anyone!

Doesn't Dr. Goldmeir see that we have good reason to be anxious?

We have suffered too much already when doctors treated us as "anxious" people, this lead us to nowhere. We don't need to put up with this anymore!Victor
The 'anxious person' treatment is easy for lazy and arrogant doctors. You mention sex and cognitive symptoms to them and their eyes light up. It must be psychosomatic they think. The wonderful thing for a doctor's ego in diagnosing a psychosomatic illness is that they can't really cure you. Any failure on their part to make things better is based on your psychological defences, unwillingness to go through months/years of CBT etc. Any relapse is related to your psychological illnesses and treatment may encompass catch all anti-depressives or anti-anxiety drugs. Now, here's the funny thing. If POIS causes fluctuations of neuro-chemicals rather than physical trauma (which it didn't on my MRI) then some of these drugs might work, specifically Bupropion. But that's not a cure for POIS as it wouldn't' address how after an O, it feels like our brains are "switched off". Also, diagnosing a condition (POIS) based on considering interviews with 1 or 2 people with that condition is medically irresponsible. Imagine if a pathologist stated in court that they hadn't actually examined the body but they're confident in a diagnosis of "heart failure". Very smug but utterly useless.

POIS can be considered as a primary sexual headache?
Is Dr. Goldmeier a psychiatrist??? He's referred to as a psychiatrist on the show.(I was under the impression that he was either an allergist or a urologist.)
