Three Weeks Broken
Here ’s a fun fact that I just recently learned. When they (the people who make up such things, almost certainly with a clipboard in hand) determine survival rates for people who survive procedures such as open heart surgery, they don’t just count those who made it off the table and back to their roo ms. For some major categories, they actually measure the rate of survival for thirty days, beginning with the surgery and ending with the cake decorated with“ONE MONTH DEATH-FREE, WOO!” in heart-healthy icing on top.So this is perhaps a bit premature. Watch for a posthumous“edited to add: Oops, never mind, yikes…...

Five Fabulous Fats
Happy Fat Tuesday!
On this day, celebrated in many countries with lavish parties and high-fat foods, we’re recognizing the importance of fats in the body.
You’ve probably heard about different types of fat, such as saturated, trans, monounsaturated, omega-3, and omega-6. But fats aren’t just ingredients in food. Along with similar molecules, they fall under the broad term lipids and serve critical roles in the body. Lipids protect your vital organs. They help cells communicate. They launch chemical reactions needed for growth, immune function, and reproduction. They serve as the building blocks of your ...

The Good Doctor (Season 2; Episode 16): Faith, Patient’s know their body
A pastor is scheduled for two surgeries: (1) to fuse part of his spinal cord and (2) to remove a tumor. The pastor is in pain and asks if they can remove the tumor without the fusion. He believes that the pain is his punishment for having counseled a parishioner who later committed suicide.…

A Guide to Logical Fallacies for Rejuvenation Research Advocates
The world has not yet rallied to the cause of defeating aging. Aging remains by far the greatest cause of suffering, pain, and death in this world, and yet it is accepted as set in stone by the vast majority of people. Few think of doing something about it. Little funding goes towards the research and development programs that could plausibly bring aging under medical control, indefinitely extending healthy life spans. Humanity spends more on sports stadiums than it does on addressing the impending death and drawn out, painful decline of everyone presently alive.
All of this is why, even as our community grows and w...

Does Anxiety Cause PTSD or Does PTSD Cause Anxiety?
“PTSD is a whole-body tragedy, an integral human event of enormous proportions with massive repercussions.” ― Susan Pease Banitt
This question came up in conversation when I was speaking with someone who has experienced severe panic attacks to the point of calling them “debilitating”, requiring inpatient care. As they were sharing about the ordeal, they told me that when they contemplate the time spent seeking treatment and the aftermath, it ramped up both the anxiety and PTSD symptoms. Even as a career therapist with decades of experience treating people with stand-alone anxiety, with no overt PTSD s...

12 Ways to Keep Going with Depression
About once a week I hear the same question from a reader, “What keeps you going?” The short answer is lots of things. I use a variety of tools to persevere through my struggle with depression because what works on one day doesn’t the next. I have to break some hours into 15-minute intervals and simply put one foot in front of another, doing the thing that is right in front of me and nothing else.
I write this post for the person who is experiencing debilitating symptoms of depression. The following are some things that help me fight for sanity and keep me going, when the gravity of my mood disorder threatens to stop ...

Where Is Digital Health Heading In Denmark?
After reading the Danish digital health strategy, one
of the most forward-looking examples of a government-supported objective to adjust the medical arena to the 21st century,
we looked around what real-life projects aim to transform patients’ and
doctors’ lives for the better in the Scandinavian country. Our findings are
thrilling: the newly established Danish National Genome Center strives to have at least 60,000 whole-genome
sequenced in the next 5 years, while the Copenhagen Healthtech Cluster wants to
set up a network of data registers updated so fast that it might enable helping
doctors real-time – perhaps even...

Mindfulness Matters in Marriage — and Roller-Skating
Are you are wondering what marriage and roller-skating have in common? Roller-skating is only for kids, right? No. And married people are adults? Most of the time, but not always. I’ve been roller-skating for decades as an adult. In my personal life and in my work as a therapist, I’ve noticed that no matter how mature we’ve become, a child inside of us often surfaces.
A few months ago, I had an awful skating accident. I lost my balance and fell on my back. This happened because I’d lost my mind, in effect; I had stopped paying attention. That can occur as we blissfully glide along and let our thoughts drift. Stayi...

Unthreading Anxiety

I was born in the middle of a war zone. One of my earliest memories is of a bomb falling near our house on an otherwise quiet day. So wholly unexpected it freaked the hell out of me. And this is how my friendship with anxiety was born.
I went through life having a sensibly over-alert nervous system trying to keep me alive, even long after the war was over. In medical terms you might call this PTSD or generalized anxiety, I personally don'...

Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy joins our hosts to talk about mental health and addiction parity, both at the federal and state levels.

A New Look at Grief Beyond Elisabeth Kubler-Ross ’s Five Stages
A few weeks ago, I said goodbye to a long time, dear friend who had become a sister of choice, a traveling companion, a ‘kvetch and moan’ sounding board, as well as a compassionate confidant who didn’t hesitate to call me on my stuff when needed. She died after a nearly two-year encounter with cancer.
I hesitate to call it a battle as many do when given the diagnosis that she was. She was more a reluctant dance partner with the disease, attempting to improvise her way through the steps and turns, choreographing her own strut and sway. No tiptoe through the tulips.
Ondreah was a career nurse who knew her way through...

In conclusion, we found a gradient of increasing blood pressure with higher levels of BMI. The fact that this gradient is present even in the fully adjusted analyses suggests that BMI may cause a direct effect on blood pressure, independent of other clinical risk factors.
