Addiction Treatment for Women

0
0
The emotional freedom and self-regulation that are supposed to develop during a recovery program will be hampered when a woman is uncomfortable or feeling afraid.
In-patient addiction recovery programs can be frightening. For women who are used to being in control of their home and family life, even when functioning as an alcoholic or drug addict, there can be fear of being so far out of control during a treatment program.

Some women who have suffered abuse, or have fears associated with men, have even deeper issues which present during treatment. The emotional freedom and self-regulation that are supposed to develop during a recovery program will be hampered when a woman is uncomfortable or feeling afraid.

There are certainly women for whom these challenges are easily overcome, and not every recovery treatment program is going to suit every person.  Just as there is no one path to sobriety, there is no one treatment program that will help every addict.  However, many women do benefit from being in a female-only recovery program that it is worth considering if someone you love is seeking addiction or substance abuse treatment.

A holistically designed, intentionally female-focused recovery treatment program can help women recover from addiction on a deeper level.  When the addict is free to release defensive behavior they may have developed in response to early fears or condition, and can explore all aspects of herself that may have played a role in becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol, the addict receives a much higher rate of return on the treatment experience.  The more a patient can bring out of herself during one on one or group therapy, the better the result of the recovery program.

Since addiction is so often an escape mechanism triggered by stressors and events that happen in early life and that we cannot fully recall, there can be real feelings of intimidation during therapy.  Those very basic behaviors and identity-related action scripts are challenged, leading to a sense of being bare in public.  The necessity of a trusting and supportive environment is clear.  When the facility is treating only women, a layer of socialized behavior gets removed, and the opportunity to be more real is there for the addict to take advantage of.

Treatment facilities that focus on women as whole beings, who must be able to manage spiritual, physical, mental and emotional aspects of themselves in order to recover from addiction, are the ones that offer the patient the highest level of success.  Distractions that can emerge in a co-ed facility are simply removed, allowing women to focus on the very difficult and intense work of recovering from dependence and substance abuse.

Even in such a recovery program, where women are treated as the unique and special patients they each are, there are individualizations that are needed in each patient’s recovery program.  The physiology of women differs from that of men, but every woman is also different, and depending on her age and health may require specialized medical attention.  This should be available during a world-class addiction recovery program for women.  There can also be social issues which women can simply sympathize with more readily, which will help develop the strong bonds and friendships that help fight relapse far into the future.

The Importance of Addressing Core Psychological Issues in Drug Addiction Treatment

0
0
To address addiction effectively, any substance abuse treatment facility would also need to address these psychological issues.
There are many reasons for the development of addictions, one of them may be to medicate an underlying psychological issue such as an attempt to manage stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors, trauma from past experiences, suffering from long term illnesses, and eating disorders such as anorexia.

To address addiction effectively, any substance abuse treatment facility would also need to address these psychological issues.  It has been proven that drug rehabilitation centers that also focus on the treatment of these core psychological issues have a higher rate of success in achieving full recovery of individuals seeking treatment for drug addiction.

There are many ways to go about addressing these core psychological issues, one way is with behavior therapy. Behavior therapy can assist patients to engage in the treatment procedure, help change their attitudes and behaviors that are drug related, and help them to employ healthy life skills in their daily activities. Behavior therapy has also been shown to enhance the degree of success of the detox treatment and also encourages individuals to maintain sobriety after treatment. There are a variety of behavioral treatments that can be employed by rehab centers to help treat some of the core psychological issues that are pertinent to substance abuse and addiction. They include:

Cognitive behavioral therapy

This treatment helps to improve the behavior of an individual recovering from substance abuse by modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. CBT focuses on solutions, encouraging patients to challenge distorted cognitions and change destructive patterns of behavior.  It assists the patient to recognize, avoid, and managed situations that may lure them back to drug abuse.

Therapeutic communities

Therapeutic communities utilizes a group-based approach to treat those suffering from extreme drug addiction issues.  It influences the attitudes, personalities and behaviors that are common with those struggling with drug abuse. In a therapeutic community, treatment is conducted concurrently with persistent testing, and encourages sobriety among the individuals undergoing recovery. It also helps the patients adjust positively to the new drug-free way of living through the support of their peers in recovery.

The matrix model

This approach to treatment uses a variety of approaches to treat substance dependence including Cognitive behavioral, Motivational therapy, Couples and family therapy, Individual and group therapy and may also include Twelve Step facilitation and social support along with psychotropic medications.  The objective of the treatment is to influence the perception of individuals towards themselves. It uses positive reinforcements as a strategy of luring patients to better their behaviors.

Behavioral couple’s therapy

Behavioral couples therapy (BCT), attempts to reduce substance abuse directly and through restructuring the dysfunctional couple interactions that frequently help sustain it.

Drug rehabilitation centers that incorporate treatment programs which attempts to address the core psychological issues that are the root causes of addiction are more effective in achieving full recovery for drug addicts.

World class chandeliers Lights for “Lalbaughcha Raja” this Ganesh Utsav (festival)

0
0

Ever since we won “The Best Crystal ChandelierAward from Swarovski in the year 2005, our journey has been quite an expedition which dug out a whole new realm of opportunities which we never considered to exist, for us, before.

We have  spelled out E.X.C.E.L.L.A.N.C.E  in every project we have  undertaken till today. We largely focus on upcoming hotels.  We ensure we give our personal involvement into the intricacies of the design our customer asks of us. We consider the pillars of our success to be:  Perseverance, Consistency, Faithful Deliberation and Hard Work.

We create reasons for our buyers, to come back to us for more work. We leave no stone unturned, which ensures there is no space for any regret to enter into our buyers mind about the quality of work which we delivered to them, even after a lot of time has passed after the completion of our work.

When we ask the chairperson what cited the inception of such a long journey, he modestly replies, “My father never worked. My brother found glory in bringing the family to doom. In such a situation, I had to become the breadwinner, after all, I had a younger sister to take care of. I had to feed my tummy too. Even though all that is passé, today, the base became strong to pump a sense of mission and purpose into my life and I’m reminded of that, each day, by my son, Akshay.”

Last year, we manufactured a Chandelier for JW Marriott, Bangalore using 65 lac imported Crystals. The Chandelier ran on the entire ceiling of the banquet hall which was 500 running feet long.  Recently, we designed large  Chandeliers  which are going to be showcased in the Salman Khan starrer “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” scheduled to release this Diwali. Our biggest honor, however, was our crystal chandeliers  being used for “Lalbaughcha Raja” this Ganesh Utsav (festival).

Business just 2 months old and finalists for a local Business Award

A pole dancing class being held by Vertical Joy at the Vertical Fitness Studio

Vertical Fitness are one of three finalists for the local Gainsborough Business Awards customer service category after being open for exactly two months.

A string of nominations were put forward for the new fitness studio from clients that propelled them into the finals at Gainsborough’s annual prestigious event. The Gainsborough Business Awards celebrate businesses in Gainsborough and the surrounding area by promoting excellence in a range of categories including: Business of the Year, Best Small Business of the Year, Apprentice of the Year, Best New Business, Best Use of Innovation/Technology, Outstanding Contribution to the Community, Best Customer Service.

The Awards were created to recgonise local businesses for their achievements and celebrate them in a more public and formal fashion. Langleys Solicitors and Ideafuel came together to organise the first ever event back in 2010. Since then there have been numerous winners and runners up in each category and the two businesses through their continued work together are supporting the sixth anniversary of the Awards this year.

Vertical Fitness is a new business that delivers fitness classes during the day and evenings to local residents. They have a pole dancing studio (called Vertical Joy) that hosts national workshops and teaches pole to beginners through to advanced individuals. They also provide a timetable of the more common fitness classes including bootcamp, circuits, boxing, and Insanity.

Business owner Sarah Myers stated: “It was a massive surprise, we’ve only been running our own place for a couple of months. So for any of our clients to take the time out to nominate us, that’s more than we could have expected. We always try to provide a warm and welcoming environment. I suppose I’m just a bit overwhelmed that people like what we do so much that they took the time out to give us recognition for it. Everyone has shown us enormous support, when really, we wouldn’t be here without them.”

The Gainsborough Business Awards is a great event for networking and raising the profile of local businesses. Vertical Fitness have reached the finals in the Customer Service category alongside Marks and Spencers and Emmalooos Coffee House. Fitness Instructor Jodie King had this to say about their nomination: “I used to work at Marks and Spencers so I know first-hand that their customer service is second to none – I am probably still a little biased – and Emmalooos is well known in the town for their friendly atmosphere and great food so it is stiff competition for sure. We are honoured and somewhat taken aback by the nominations. It is safe to say that it has put a big smile on our faces and we are very pleased to be a part of the Awards. It’s a great excuse to celebrate our first two months and pat ourselves on the back in style!”

About Vertical Fitness

Vertical Fitness offers a warm and supportive environment so you can train you bum off, de-stress and chat with like minded crazies while you’re at it! We don’t take ourselves too seriously – if you want results we will get you them and if you just want to try something different and escape the rat race for a few hours then we have what you need too!

The new studio and branding was founded because we needed a custom built space to teach the classes that we loved in. Pole Dancing/Fitness requires a big space, tall poles (the taller the better) and great acoustics. Bootcamp and boxing circuits are best in facilities with ropes, tyres, bags, suspension equipment, pull up stations, and slam balls, in an area where you can shout, sing and swear your way to the end of a set.

The instructors are all friendly and approachable but we are also serious fitness enthusiasts who will help you pursue your goals and take on new challenges. It isn’t about us after all – it is all about you and what you need from your sessions to make you feel great about yourselves, reach those weight loss targets and set off home with a big grin on your face.

The Tikit, Chromed Steel Bottle Opener & Seat Belt Silencer.
The Tikit is a patented new product that combines a bottle opener with a seat belt silencer! Insert the Tikit into the seat belt receiver of any new vehicle and the annoying reminder lights and sounds will no longer be an headache! This product is intended to be used in the passenger seat of a vehicle when it is occupied by a pet or heavy object that trips the sensors.

The Tikit LLC announces the launch of its debut new product, the Tikit. This patent pending innovation is a 2 in 1 bottle opener & seat belt silencer. It’s unlike anything else on the market and solves a common problem that affects millions of Americans on a daily basis. The Tikit is designed to safely fit in the seat belt receptacle of all newer vehicles stopping the annoying lights and sounds produced by the vehicle when the seat belt is not used.

CEO Michael Spinosa says “The Tikit will benefit almost anybody who owns or operates a vehicle. I personally use the Tikit every time I take my dog, Scooter, for a ride in the truck. Riding shotgun Scooter would always trip the seat’s sensor causing the reminder lights to flash and the beeps to sound! This was not a very pleasant experience when joy riding with my best friend. Now after designing the Tikit this is no longer an issue, rides are more relaxing and I take Scooter with me more often! Our goal bringing this product to market is to improve our customers’ lives by allowing them to fully enjoy the time spent in their vehicles.”

The Tikit can be used when travelling with pets, or heavy objects like groceries in the passenger seat. At 2.75” long and 1.50” wide the Tikit is also a very impressive little bottle opener! It’s extremely comfortable and efficient making it much easier to use than traditional key chain bottle opener products.

Designed and engineered for the greatest value the Tikit is forged from 1/8” thick steel them chrome plated for a long lasting and attractive finish. There are less expensive materials available but as a true American company we believe in building products that last. Customers can expect many years of dependable use out of each one. Adding even more value, the manufacturing process, packaging and distribution have all been carefully designed to keep costs down while maintaining quality and performance. The Tikit positions itself in the market by competing with traditional key chain bottle openers in cost while blowing them away in performance. There is literally no competition.

The Tx360 is a single-use, disposable catheter that safely delivers pain relief medication via the nasal passages to the ganglion at the back of the nose. This procedure represents a safe and comfortable method for the delivery of medication to patients with chronic migraines, cluster headaches, or chronic daily headaches.

Based on Dr. Tian Xia’s holistic solution to pain relief, the Tx360 is an advanced approach to wellness and freedom from chronic pain. Following a two-stage process that treats both the reactions of the nervous system as well as the underlying physical issues, such as stress and diet, most patients who have undertaken the recommended six treatments experience relief from pain.

FDA-approved, the pain relieving procedure using the Tx360 disposable catheter is covered by Medicare and accepted by most health insurance providers.

Stop suffering today. There really is a safe and easy solution to the intense pain caused by chronic migraines, headaches, and Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Inflow state-of-the art telecommunications system makes schools safer

0
0

PORTLAND, OR – 10 Sep, 2015 – Unseen and behind all the activities, classroom learning, and assemblies of the Beaverton School District, will be a silent and secure new guard throughout the school system. Inflow Communications has installed more than a new telecommunications system, provided by the passage of a $680 million school bond last year. The company has deployed multifaceted communication technologies that will increase efficiency, safety and security. The new system replaces decades-old antiquated equipment saving thousands of dollars for the district.

Ahead of schedule and under budget, this summer Portland-based Inflow Communications integrated an on-site, comprehensive, multi-unit communications system in 33 Beaverton schools, and the Transportation and the Administration Center. The Inflow system also includes automated safety and security features that are unified and fully redundant. The Beaverton School District now has an infrastructure that is “fail-safe,” which means that the Inflow-installed system is capable of instantly taking over communication controls from any communication point in case of a communication unit interruption, including the core site.

With the new system, teachers, staff, and students will be able to communicate from virtually any customized device – video, audio, desktop sharing, conferencing, work stations, smartphones, tablets, instant messaging (IM), IP handsets, and other systems. This new multi-unit communication system makes instant communication possible on multiple devices between schools, offices and external communications. For example, the Inflow Communications system, which exclusively utilizes ShoreTel® technologies, increases safety by transmitting specific directions to first-responders.

“We wanted a system that provided additional security features that tied to our paging system, and provided first responders with more specific information where an incident may be occurring,” says Administrator for Technology Services, Jordan Beveridge.

In 2015 and 2016, additional automated safety features that will assist internal and external communications are scheduled for deployment.

The Beaverton School District regularly collaborates with other school and government systems to share best practices to keep students learning in the best possible circumstances. To that end, the RFP that Inflow competed for and won was written as an “assumable RFP,” also known as a “cooperative RFP.” It is available to other school districts and government agencies. For information about utilizing the Beaverton RFP, please contact the Beaverton School District Business Office 503-356-4500 and/or Inflow Communications.

Inflow was founded in 1996 and President Travis Dillard took over the company in 2009. Since 2012, the company has been listed as one of the fastest growing private companies by The Portland Business Journal and The Denver Business Journal. Inflow Communications now supports over 70,000 international endpoints for over 400 clients and has grown to offices in Portland, Seattle, Dallas, Los Angles and The Bay Area.

Experts Share The 5 ways that health is covered by insurance goes unnoticed by the general public

0
0
What is not widely known by patients is that many of the holistic services that provide a plethora of health benefits can be covered by their insurance policy if a doctor believes you may benefit.
It’s no secret that holistic treatment has taken off in the past decade.

Seeing a surge of providers seeking to treat the whole body rather than just the symptoms, and not surprisingly patients are reaping the benefits. What is not widely known by patients is that many of the holistic services that provide a plethora of health benefits can be covered by their insurance policy if a doctor believes you may benefit.

1. Nutritional Coaching

A nutrition Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who motivates individuals to cultivate positive health choices. Nutrition Coaches educate and support clients to achieve their nutrition goals through lifestyle and behavior adjustments. Nutrition Coaches have a variety of services they provide for patients and clients of all types. A coach will begin by teaching the basics of general nutrition and then take a specific approach to each patient based on careful analysis of that person’s needs, their body type and any other information necessary to help that person reach their goals while keeping them safe and healthy.

2. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicinal intervention dating back thousands of years. It works by inserting thin needles superficially into the skin to stimulate small wells of energy. Through clinical trials, acupuncture has been proven effective in treating various medical conditions and its use has expanded into Western and more conventional medical practices. According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture is an effective treatment for many health conditions.

3. Yoga

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that denotes a variety of schools, practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the best-known being Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to the fifth and sixth centuries B.C.E. Yoga was brought to the west by gurus from India in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Yoga may benefit each person in different ways, but the medical community has documented evidence that yoga can help many conditions, including but not limited to: heart disease, chronic pain, and even depression.

4. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons – to reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles, rehabilitate injuries, reduce pain, and promote overall health and wellness. Generally, massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing.

5. Personal Training

A personal trainer is a fitness professional involved in exercise prescription and instruction. They motivate their clients by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability as they work to improve their health. Trainers also measure client’s strengths and weaknesses with fitness assessments. These fitness assessments may be performed before and after an exercise program to measure their client’s improvements in physical fitness. Personal Trainers may also educate their clients in many other aspects of wellness beyond exercise, including general health and nutrition.

Current Trends In Addiction Treatment

0
0
2015 recovery trends.
There are many different approaches to addiction treatment, and this can be confusing when you are under the stress of needing to find the most correct style of treatment facility for your unique situation

There are still many programs available that are successfully based on the twelve step system or philosophy.  The only caveat here is that if you are looking for twelve step based treatment, you may need some way to confirm that it is completely twelve step, and not a hybrid form of twelve step.

There are holistic (drug free) programs, which are going to appeal to anyone who is interested in improving their lifestyle choices as they also combat their addiction. You may require a program that is more individualized, not so much group oriented.

Having the choice of a program that serves organic or even vegetarian meals, if that is your preference, is available. If you desire massage, Reiki, yoga, meditation, or life coaching, it is possible to find that exact program for you,   

If you have a limited time that you can dedicate to inpatient treatment, there are programs available. These are possibly a bit more focussed and intense but that is what is going to help you achieve sustainable success.

If you are looking for a program where you can bring your pet, there is a facility that can provide that for you.  It has been shown by conclusive studies that having creatures that you love nearby can definitely support and enhance healing events in your life. If this is important for you, then by all means you should have it in your program.

If you have gender issues, many facilities are successful are sensitive to these type of client needs. You should be as comfortable as possible in the setting and facility that you choose. This only enhances your chances of success and that is what you are aiming for.

Despite the many different types of programs, and your own very unique needs, you don’t have to settle for less than what you want in your recovery program. It is probably one of the most important events that will ever happen in your life. The recovery that comes from participating in the right program will have lifelong positive effects for the rest of your life.

Anti Anxiety Drugs vs Holistic Methods of Treatment

0
0
Addiction to anxiety medication is popular in 2015
There has been an alarming trend in addiction to pharmaceutical drugs which are apparently designed for the management of anxiety, but not treatment, as per the FDA drugs can not be factually considered to cure anything, including anxiety. These drugs are known as tranquilizers, or benzodiazepines.

Benzo drugs have been around for many decades, so they are nothing new. What is new, however, is the skyrocketing rate at which they are dispensed. The pharmaceutical companies have been ruthless in their use of huge marketing budgets to make these drugs seem harmless and more useful than they actually are.

Anti anxiety Drugs Over-Prescribed

Currently, there are millions of people in the US alone who are addicted to benzodiazepine drugs and yet, are still suffering from anxiety. This is a glaring red flag, which many drug addiction treatment centers are paying attention to.

Mixing Opiates and Benzo Drugs Can be Fatal

Many heroin addicts have also become addicted to anti anxiety drugs, as this protocol became pushed in on the heroin treatment world, just as other opiate drugs like methadone and Oxycontin have become over-promoted and over- prescribed.  

Nine out of every 10 heroin addicts I  talk to on the phone have multiple drug addictions, many of which came after their heroin was `treated` with more drugs. This is a trend which holistic methods can successfully correct, but it is better not to cause the problem in the first place.  

Those especially still struggling with opiate addiction should make themselves aware of the dangers of adding benzo drugs to their heroin habit. Benzos make opiates much more potent in the system and are likely to cause overdose or death due to the body completely shutting down.

Examples of Anti Anxiety Drugs

You may know these drugs by name, many are household words currently:

• Xanax

• Clonazapam

• Diazepam

• Atavan

There are hundreds of these benzodiazepine drugs under various names.

Valid Uses for Benzodiazepine Drugs

There are valid uses for benzo drugs, such as to keep an alcoholic patient from presenting seizures or heart attack or stroke during detox.  Without these drugs to keep the heart rate fairly even and flat, there is a high risk of death when a person stops alcohol abruptly.

Benzo drugs have also been found useful for short periods of time where anxiety is so severe that it is causing other risks in the patient suffering from, for instance,  sleep deprivation, hyperventilation, or other severe conditions.

Over Prescribing Benzos is Dangerous

What has been now proven without a doubt, is that benzo drugs, while they do have a place in specific medical interventions, have been over prescribed for  decades as a management tool for what is now named Anxiety Disorder.  

The problem with using anti anxiety drugs (as they are now commonly referred to) to manage anxiety is that they are extremely addictive drugs.  Best practices now limit doctors to prescribing for as short a period as possible.  The longest period a patient should ever be taking benzo drugs is now 3 weeks.  The more conservative prescription should last for several days to 2 weeks.  

After this period of time, the patient will experience rebound anxiety and have potentially life threatening withdrawal symptoms. Physicians are now being advised by their medical licensing boards to strictly adhere to these limited uses of benzo drugs.  Patients and doctors alike need to be aware of this vital information concerning the prescribing of these very potent and potentially life threatening drugs.  Talk to your doctor about   holistic ways to treat anxiety today.

Anti Depressant Drugs vs Holistic Methods of Treatment. Which is More Successful?

0
0
Depression as a diagnosis has become a common household word. The diagnosis of depression includes a broad spectrum of ailments, such as sadness, “the blues”, lack of motivation, feeling a lingering unhappiness about life or maybe just feeling generally sad, but about nothing specific. It is a general term, which makes prescribing antidepressant drugs seem an appropriate “no brainer” for multiples of hundreds of complaints.

The drug companies who produce the drugs in the class known as “antidepressants” is providing thousands of new pharmaceutical drugs designed to manage depression. Later uses of these drugs (off label as it is called) began to include anxiety, headaches, trouble sleeping, arthritis, and many hundreds more.

The FDA tells us that drugs cannot cure anything. So doctors are sold on prescribing a drug which can’t cure depression, but only manage it. The FDA is also clear in stating that no one knows how exactly antidepressant drugs work.

Holistic Methods of Eradicating Depression

There are holistic (meaning here drug free) methods of actually treating depression, but unfortunately  these are not promoted nearly as widely as are  pharmaceutical drugs. Since they are not promoted widely, a patient has to seek them out usually through holistic doctors, clinicians and personal research.  

NOTE:  Part 2 of this article will outline some of the most reported as successful holistic methods of eradicating depression.

Some Common Antidepressant Drugs:

• Paxil

• Prozak

• Zoloft

• Elavil

There are literally thousands of these drugs, and as the FDA reports, it is not actually known how any of them work.  

Studies out of the Mayo Clinic Show Alarming Trend

The Mayo Clinic, a quite well respected medical center, has actually recommended the use of antidepressants for other conditions as well, even though no one knows exactly how they work.  Some of the most alarming ones are:

• Headache pain reliever

• Relief from arthritis

• Relief from back pain

And so on.

What really makes this an alarming trend, is that antidepressant drugs are responsible for a large percentage of suicides and attempted suicides and other extremely horrific side effects.  

Some Side Effects of Antidepressants:

• Here is a partial list of the known and reported side effects of the type of drug known as the Tricyclic antidepressants: (Elavil, Asendin, etc)

• An overdose is serious and potentially lethal and requires immediate medical attention.

• Symptoms develop within an hour of ingestion and may start with rapid heartbeat, dilated pupils, flushed face, agitation, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, irregular heart rate, heart attack, respiratory failure,  death

• FDA had to place a black box suicide warning on every package sold.


MAOI  Antidepressant Drug  Side Effects (Marplan, Nardil, etc)

• Risk of dangerously high blood pressure, especially if certain foods or other medications are consumed. Most patients are instructed to carry an antidote such as nifedipine, in case they begin to experience elevated blood pressure while on these antidepressant drugs.

• FDA had to place a black box suicide warning on every package sold

• Birth defects if taken while pregnant

• And many more side effects


SSRI Antidepressant Drug Side Effects (Paxil, Prozak, etc)

• If taken while pregnant can cause severe birth defects

• FDA had to place a black box suicide warning on every package sold due to the number of related suicides to these drugs.

Holistic Methods to Treat Depression

0
0
Holistic cures for depression can make a positive impact on a suffering individual.
Medical research has been a wonderful source of innovative and surprisingly simple to execute holistic (drug free) remedies for depression. As many who suffer from addiction also suffer from depression, it is a wise thing to learn as many simple to do methods and strategies to begin to experience relief from this debilitating condition.

Get Enough Sleep

It may be simpler said than done, but adequate sleep is essential for a healthy body and a positive outlook.  Nothing is harder than trying to get through a day on less than adequate rest.

Here are some ways to help create a restful and adequate night’s sleep:

• Remove electronic devices from your bedroom

• Place room darkening blinds on the windows especially if they are sources of artificial light at night

• A gentle room fan can provide white noise to damp out noises like the refrigerator or furnace going on and off all night, etc

• Warm milk with honey is a trusted antidote which can encourage relaxation and sleep

• Talk to your doctor about using natural melatonin as a night time relaxant

• Use pillows which are allergen free, and properly suppport your body type and especially your neck. Speak to a chiropractor for more suggestions for comfort


Exercise

• Regular exercise is proven to release feel good chemicals into the blood stream

• Take a short walk or other gentle exercise, once or twice daily


Set Small Reachable Goals

Those suffering from depression often suffer from lack of motivation. Setting small reachable goals will start the ball rolling on feeling a little better about what you accomplished that day. Start small, like sweeping the kitchen floor every second day.  Or, write one of the letters/emails you’ve been putting off for weeks. At least write one paragraph.  Set the goal, make it reachable, then do it. You’ll feel instantly a little better about your day.


Diet

• Changes in diet can be extremely beneficial Talk to your nutritionist about specific things to add or subtract from your regular diet. It can make a great deal of difference if your body is able to easily handle the fuel you give it.

• The Mediterranean diet, and adding fats to your daily intake such as those contained in avocados have been notably effective in alleviating the discomforts of depression.


St Johns Wort, Lemon Grass, Lavender,  Chamomile Tea

• These and other herbal supplements can be surprisingly refreshing and very helpful in eradicating the heavy load you feel you are carrying around with you.

• Studies done by the Pennsylvania State University showed a remarkable improvement in test scores on patients who were treated with chamomile in capsules over 8 weeks, showing a definite alleviation of not only depression, but those patients suffering from anxiety, and other discomforts as well.  

Research, Research, Research

Do some research and find what supplements and other strategies might work for you, and always seek the medical advice of your care giver to help you make the correct choices.

Kids in the House on National Suicide Prevention Week

0
0

This week is National Suicide Prevention Week and Kids in the House is giving focus to this devastating concern in the country.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in 4,400 youth suicides every year, and for every youth suicide there are more than 100 suicide attempts.  Kids In The House sat down with experts to learn the leading causes of teen suicide and how parents can prevent it.

David Fassler, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, says that “At least 1 in 10 children thinks about suicide each year.”

Part of the problem is a misunderstanding of childhood depression.  Fassler says that it’s more prevalent than previously thought.

“Think of a high school classroom. There is probably one child in the classroom dealing with depression. By the end of High School, there may be as many as one in four kids that experienced depression,” says Fassler.

Kids in the House interviewed Pattie Mallette, New York Times Best Selling Author and mother of pop star, Justin Bieber, who shared her personal story of facing suicidal thoughts as a teenager.

“In that moment, when I was suicidal I felt hopeless,” says Mallette. “I felt unworthy and un-loveable and angry…and everything that was happening felt like it was insurmountable.”

Mallette says that the most important thing for a teenager to remember and for parents to remind any teen who is facing depression or suicidal thoughts is that no problem is the end of the world. (http://www.kidsinthehouse.com/teenager/health-and-development/cutting-and-self-harm/advice-for-suicidal-teens).

“I think that if I was going to give any advice to teenagers feeling suicidal, it would be to not give up–to hold on, and to know that it can and will get better,” says Malette.

So what warning signs can we look for?  Fassler states, “What we look for in terms of warning signs are things like kids stop thinking about their future, they don’t make plans for the future, they don’t talk to people about what they’re going to do next week or next month, they might start giving away their most important possessions, they make arrangements for their pets or collections.”

Experts say that at least half of youth suicides are a result of bullying, including cyberbullying. Kids In The House interviewed children from the Los Angeles area to learn the personal effects of bullying to create an #EndBullying PSA.  The PSA sheds light on the fact that words can kill both in person and online.

“These children are so brave for speaking out and telling their personal stories of being bullied in order to help change the world,” Beyoncé posted on her personal Facebook page along with the Kids In The House #EndBullying PSA.
