The Medical Detectives

Brianna's Story: Sleepwalking Nightmare


Listen Later

In one of our most intense and eye-opening episodes yet, we sit down with Brianna, whose journey through the medical system took years of misdiagnoses, dismissal, and frustration before she finally got the answers she needed. What started as a mysterious sleep disorder—marked by violent night terrors, hallucinations, and sleepwalking—was repeatedly brushed off as anxiety and depression. But after years of dealing with her symptoms she was finally given a shocking diagnosis.

Join us as we dive into her harrowing yet inspiring story, exposing the dangerous gap between psychiatric and medical diagnoses—especially for women. With humor, resilience, and raw honesty, Brianna takes us through the medical gaslighting, the fight for a real diagnosis, and the relief of finally being heard.
