Many people also are familiar with appetite and sleep changes. But there’s a whole set of other physical symptoms that are less known but just as debilitating. In fact, depression can literally hurt. According to a study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, up to about 76 percent of people who report the typical emotional symptoms also report physical signs, such as stomach problems, headaches, backaches and chest pain. Depression also is a chameleon. It can look like various other illnesses and conditions, even, for instance, the flu. Which, not surprisingly, makes diagnosing depression tricky, and thereby finding the right treatment...

How on earth did the authors manage to reach a conclusion like that? The first thing to note is that many of the authors are people who make their living largely from sticking needles in people, or advocating alternative medicine. The authors are Charlotte Paterson, Rod S Taylor, Peter Griffiths, Nicky Britten, Sue Rugg, Jackie Bridges, Bruce McCallum and Gerad Kite, on behalf of the CACTUS study team. The senior author, Gerad Kite MAc , is principal of the London Institute of Five-Element Acupuncture London. The first author, Charlotte Paterson, is a well known advocate of acupuncture. as is Nicky Britten. The conflict...

CannonIn this morning’s Charlotte Observer, I explain how ObamaCare is destroying consumer protections.  Exhibit A is Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina’s decision to refund $156 million to its policyholders: BCBSNC’s refunds show that ObamaCare is leaving seriously ill patients with less protection, not more. Health insurance was hardly perfect before ObamaCare, but BCBSNC’s policyholders had insurance that had pre-funded many of their future medical bills. Now, ObamaCare has effectively transferred those reserves from the sick to the healthy. Seriously ill policyholders now have less protection against BCBSNC reneging on its commitments to them. Competition used to discourage skimping; ObamaCare rewards it. Due to space considerations, the edi...

Eight year-old Nicholas, who was strapped into his backseat booster seat, scrambled to the front seat and steered the car into the guard rail, where it hit two other motorists on the busy four lane highway, one of whose vehicle was flipped upside down. In the interview with ABC, Sarah Prokos explains that she had a seizure the week before the accident and took care to explain to her son what a seizure was. In the interview, Prokos beams at her son as she tells the story. Nico is rightfully being lauded as a hero. His mother Sarah’s behavior, however, borders on un...

It comes right before “You had me at hello” (another puker). The completing-the-other bit nauseates me a tad because we relationship-analyzers (some with the right initials after their names and some self-declared experts who can type) like to classify that type of dialogue with a term known as “codependency.” Ideally, you shouldn’t need anyone to complete you. You should be whole going into a relationship, right? My guess is that those who feel like they are getting fixed are actually getting ripped off. That’s why they keep coming back, hoping that THIS time their partner will make the ouches go away, making them feel all sunshiny and warm inside. Instead, the ouch is ...

Ghost image in my mind Natural pattern like a spider Capillary to the center” Sitting with our morning coffee on Sunday, our pack of dogs snuggled around and on top of us, Caryn and I were listening to NPR’s Weekend Edition. It’s a little thing we try to do on the weekends to recover from one week and steel ourselves for the next. As soon as I heard an introduction of a segment with the letters “IRM”, my attention was caught. It is the acronym, in many languages for what we know as MRI. I made that correlation quickly. What I wasn’t getting was that this was to be an interview with a French singer about her new album. Well, as soon as they played title track from Charlotte Gainsbourg’s release IRM, I knew that my assumption ...

Like babies, people afflicted with dementia or Alzheimer’s will provide subtle cues or signals indicating their level of comfort or distress.
