Dear technos,

The recent threat on narcosis reminded me of something. This *is* a 
serious question although I do not blame you if it sounds like a spoof. 
The situation is this: About 8 months ago I got my girlfriend  of two 
years into diving. We have been on no deco dives together but I have 
taken her on 
some relatively deep dives for a novice (120 fsw). The unusual thing is 
that soon after these deeper dives she developed a lingering malaise of 
sorts which has now progressed into a situation which is more closely 
related to demonic possession! She has been to a doctor and therapist 
looking for answers but doesn't know what has happenned in her life to 
bring about such a huge and dramatic emotional shift. 

Anyway, I remember reading an article where someone was found to be bent 
but suffered from acute anxiety rather than joint pain, etc. I laughed it 
off as being a pretty silly idea to be "mentally bent" from diving. BUT 
NOW, as I am grasping at straws, I thought that I would ask if there is 
any precedence for a malady such as this. 

Please respond personally and do not get into the "what's a beginner 
doing at 120 fsw" silliness.

Thanks
