Is There a Clinical Distinction Between PPPD and MdDS? Differential Diagnosis at Initial Evaluation

Video Overview

If you experience constant, non-spinning dizziness, you know how frustrating it is to feel like you are floating, rocking, or swaying every single day. Two common conditions cause this exact type of chronic dizziness: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS). While they feel similar on the surface, they are actually opposites in how they respond to movement.

In this video, we break down “the motion paradox” — the single biggest clue to understanding your symptoms. You will learn how your personal history, your response to visually rich environments, and especially how you feel while riding in a car can help pinpoint exactly what is happening in your nervous system, so you can find the right path to recovery.
