Sunflowers and Santa Claus: Guardian writers and readers on how their first memory changed them
Our earliest memory can shape our lives, but new research suggests that many are false. Here, writers and readers reflect on their earliest recollectionsIt starts as a dreamy state of dizzying vertigo, and then I rattle, headfirst, down the wooden stairs. Falling down the white-painted (I think), definitely uncarpeted stairs of our first house is my first memory, and I must have been around two. But is it real? A new study suggests not, and if you can remember lying in your pram/taking your first steps/having your nappy changed, then you are almost certainly wrong, too.In a survey of more than 6,600 people, published in Ps...

Researchers say chronic dizziness can result from, or trigger, psychiatric disorders
(American Osteopathic Association) Dizziness can fall into a number of broad categories, including vertigo (spinning sensation), presyncope (near-fainting), and disequilibrium (imbalance). When a patient's description of symptoms appears consistent with one of these categories, physicians are better equipped to make an accurate diagnosis. Patients who have a difficult time describing their symptoms, or seem to experience several different symptoms, are likely experiencing non-specific dizziness -- which should be a cue for physicians to ask about the patient's mental health.
