چکیده
We report the case of D.A., a 22-year-old woman with a >3-year medical history of dizziness. She was diagnosed with Chronic Subjective Dizziness (CSD). CSD manifests with multiple symptoms such as persistent sensation of nonvertiginous dizziness that may include vague descriptors such as lightheadedness, heavy headedness, a feeling of imbalance often not apparent to others; Chronic hypersensitivity to self-motion or the movement of objects in the environment; Exacerbation of symptoms in settings with complex visual stimuli Ruckenstein & Staab [1]. A considerable number of patients with CSD also have an emotional disorder such as anxiety Staab & Ruckenstein [2]. Traditional medications or interventions for vestibular disease tend not to resolve CSD Ruckenstein & Staab [1]. Effective treatment methods include behavioral interventions Holmberg et al. [3]. And patient education, centered on understanding that these symptoms stem from a psychiatric process and not a physical disorder Godemann et al. [4].
