Everyone feels a little anxiety at some times in their life. If they didn’t they wouldn’t be human. It’s a natural reaction to circumstances, and a reaction that can often produce a favorable response. Anxiety helps us respond to a dangerous situations appropriately. And it can help us do our jobs better in pressure situations. But there’s a limit. Some people feel anxiety for no apparent reason. It ruins their life, and causes them to stay indoors or out of social situations. It can lead to feeling like you are having a heart attack. It is in these situations that… Continue reading

Posted on February 28, 2008 - Filed Under Depression | Leave a Comment
People who are diagnosed with depression are commonly prescribed an antidepressant medication to help them manage their symptoms. When used in conjunction with other treatments, such as psychotherapy, most people can recover from their depression. This medication is not a cure-all, and they do come with some risks. But even the risks can be negligible when antidepressants are taken under a doctor’s strict supervision. The type of antidepressant that is prescribed to a patient will depend on how severe the patient’s depression is. It has been found that during clinical studies that antidepressants prescribed to… Continue reading

Posted on February 14, 2008 - Filed Under Alternative | Leave a Comment
Applied Energy Flow is increasingly growing in popularity as a method of natural healing, largely because it draws its healing ability from internal energy sources. It uses the body’s own energy to promote well-being, as opposed to drawing a treatment from an external source. Since the energy flow of the body is internal there is a belief that correcting energy problems should not rely on inorganic substances as a form of treatment. This is a unique departure from traditional concepts in the healing sciences, and it is needed now more than ever in the mental health fields.
This is not to… Continue reading

Posted on February 1, 2008 - Filed Under Mental Health | Leave a Comment
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of several types of anxiety disorders. It is characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that a person feels compelled to repeat. These behaviors become ritualized in an often futile attempt to cope with anxiety. It is as if one is stuck in first gear, unable to accelerate or move forward until the ritual is completed.
The compulsive behaviors are driven by obsessions, thoughts or impulses that are irrational and uncontrollable. They intrude into a person’s mind causing excessive worry and preoccupation. These thoughts, often disturbing and unwanted, pierce the protective psychological filters and crowd the… Continue reading

What Is Depression? People use the word depression loosely to mean a number of different moods. I prefer to use the term “clinical depression” to distinguish the type of depression that may improve with medication. Clinical depression is more than the “blues” or sadness. It is not something a person can “just get over” or talk themselves out of. Clinical depression is at least partially based on brain biochemical imbalance (we are still in early stages of understanding this) and often runs in families. Stress and psychological factors also play an important role, although we do not fully understand the… Continue reading
