A collection of five-question interviews.
I’ll be away from the Addiction Inbox office this week, attending the big TEDMED health and medicine powwow in Washington, D.C.
In the meantime, here’s a summation (with links) of the interviews I’ve been doing recently in the “five-question interview” series. I’ve been very lucky to nab some state-of-the-art thinkers, working at the top of their fields, from psychiatry to pharmacology to neuroscience.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) as added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) by The American Psychological Association (APA) in its 1980 edition. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), has since then strived towards further developing the criteria used to diagnose children and adults for ADD/ADHD.
DSM-IV Criteria:

If you were ever wondering what was the most popular treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), wonder no longer. It’s not psychotherapy. And it’s not some medication developed specifically for OCD.
Nope, it’s good ‘ole antidepressants.
Treatment options for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are currently dominated by antidepressants, and this trend is expected to continue for the next seven to eight years.
That is, unless drugmakers step up their future research to develop new, more effective treatments, according to a new report by business intelligence company GlobalData.

Shame on The Cash Store for firing Sean Reilly because he had bipolar disorder.
After being a model employee for the parent company of The Cash Store, Cottonwood Financial, he asked for some time off in order to deal with his bipolar disorder after having worked for the company for about 6 months. They denied his request, and then fired him shortly thereafter. Reilly was up-front about his disorder before he was even hired, although there’s no requirement to tell a potential employer about any medical condition you may have — including bipolar disorder.

How do you deal with the hand you’re given?
Do you take it right away, absorb the pain quick so you can move on with your life? Do you look for new ways to heal old wounds or do you find yourself unable to cope, burrying your feelings in work, with food, by avoiding, denying and repressing what is too difficult to deal with?
Forget about being green. It’s not easy even being human. And we can’t escape it. It’s the common thing that unites us all. What separates us is how we’ve learned to deal with it.

Millions of patients benefit from opioids such as morphine and codeine, but the pain relief they provide often comes with intense itching. In some cases, the irritation is so bad that patients will opt to cut back on painkillers. Now a study in the October 14 issue of Cell has found a possible explanation—the first step to creating drugs that will not make patients choose between experiencing itchiness and pain.Until recently, many experts had assumed that itching from opioids was unavoidable because it is a common side effect of drugs that interact with the nervous system. The brain has four main types of receptors that...

No matter how busy you are, you can find five minutes or fewer in your day to take better care of yourself. Here are five expert tips on relaxing your body, soothing anxiety and coping with stressful thoughts.
1. Practice 3-3-6 breathing. According to Darlene Mininni, Ph.D, author of The Emotional Toolkit, this type of breathing provides more oxygen to the brain and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. That slows down breathing and heart rate, relaxes the muscles and causes blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow. It essentially sends a message to your brain that everything is OK, and there’s no reason to ...

Sadly, new NSPCC figures show most poeple wait over a month to report child abuse. The NPSCC has recently launched a new campaign, Don’t Wait Until You’re Certain which urges the public NOT to ignore that niggling doubt about a child’s safety.

About half of these cases were so serioius they warranted immediate action. But shockingly, the NSPCC’s helpline service has reported that...

The Prevnar we give out here is the same Prevnar other practices give out. For the most part, we treat ear infections the same way other docs treat ear infections.

The majority of my work in the Department of Research and Evaluation at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has been predicated on the long-held assumption that if you show people convincingly that doing one thing will create the outcome they desire, you can inspire behavior change. The problem is that when it comes to health, we consistently observe individuals acting in ways guaranteed to produce poor outcomes.
The observation of seemingly “irrational” behavior by economists, psychologists and others led to the development of the field of behavioral economics, which has, in recent years, produced insight to explain so...

Anger is the emotional energy within each of us that rises up when something needs to change. If you act on the need to create change, your anger can be channeled effectively. If it’s not redirected to something effective, your frustration will build, sometimes to hurricane force.

Ever wonder why some people stay in the same place, the same situation, surrounded by the same people despite how unhappy they are? It’s not that they don’t want to change. In fact, it’s often the opposite. They want so much to alleviate their depression and anxiety, change their unhealthy eating habits and transform their life. But a fear of change and the work involved can be paralyzing.
