Question: How is chronic insomnia treated?
Answer: Primary insomnia: Primary insomnia means that a person is having sleep problems that are not directly associated with any other health condition or problem. If insomnia continues, your health care provider may suggest behavioral therapy. Behavioral approaches help you to change behaviors that may worsen insomnia and to learn new behaviors to promote sleep. Techniques such as relaxation exercises, sleep restriction therapy, and reconditioning may be useful.
Question: Can ADHD symptoms be caused by anything else going on in my child's life?
Answer: The truth is, if she has the inattentive type of ADHD, she may be so distracted she just doesn't realize you're talking to her. Did the behaviors you're concerned about just pop up recently? Your child could just be shaken up because of a big life change, like a divorce, job loss, or death in the family. Medical problems, like serious ear infections, depression, or anxiety can cause ADHD-like symptoms, too.
Question: How can I find out for sure if my child has ADHD?
Answer: There's no single test for ADHD. Your child's pediatrician will want to know her symptoms and when they started. He may also want to do some tests to rule out other health problems that could change the way your child acts. He might also want to send your child to a children's mental health specialist, like a child psychologist or psychiatrist, for a more detailed checkup. These doctors may ask to speak to other adults in your child's life, like coaches or teachers. Only then -- if your child meets the criteria for ADHD -- will she be officially diagnosed.
Question: Can unresponsiveness be a sign that my child has ADHD?
Answer: If your child doesn't respond when you talk to her or even seem to notice you're there, you might wonder if she's hard of hearing. Or if she's simply ignoring you. The truth is, if she has the inattentive type of ADHD, she may be so distracted she just doesn't realize you're talking to her.
Question: Can daydreaming be a sign that my child has ADHD?
Answer: Only your doctor can say for sure whether your child has it. It's hard to know if your child is more distracted, wiggly, or forgetful than other kids (they're all a little like that once in a while!). But if she has the âinattentiveâ type of ADHD, she'll daydream a lot, may be too wrapped up in her own thoughts to hear you, and often seem like she can't focus. Symptoms of ADHD usually show up when kids are young -- around age 12 on average.
Question: What causes antidepressant discontinuation syndrome?
Answer: Your doctor may diagnose you with antidepressant discontinuation symptoms if: You suddenly develop symptoms days after stopping an antidepressant Symptoms rapidly go away when you start taking the antidepressant again There's no way to predict if you will have discontinuation symptoms after quitting an antidepressant. Scientists are not exactly sure why some people develop antidepressant discontinuation syndrome while others do not. Antidepressants help restore the normal function of naturally occurring, mood-regulating substances in the brain, called neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine. Some mental health experts theorize that abruptly stopping an antidepressant simply does not give your brain time to adjust to the rapid changes.
Question: How are antidepressant discontinuation symptoms diagnosed?
Answer: Your doctor may diagnose you with antidepressant discontinuation symptoms if: You suddenly develop symptoms days after stopping an antidepressant Symptoms rapidly go away when you start taking the antidepressant again There's no way to predict if you will have discontinuation symptoms after quitting an antidepressant.
Question: How can I safely stop using antidepressants?
Answer: If you are thinking about stopping your antidepressant therapy, talk to your doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of discontinuing treatment. Never stop "cold turkey." In many cases, the best way to stop taking most antidepressants is to slowly cut back your dose under the guidance of your doctor. This is called tapering. Tapering helps your brain adjust to the chemical changes and can help prevent discontinuation symptoms. Your doctor will tell you how to lower your dose over a couple of days. Never try to do this on your own. Sometimes, doctors can prescribe medicines to help with discontinuation symptoms such as nausea or insomnia. They also may advise switching from a short- to a long-acting antidepressant to ease the transition off of a medicine for depression. Discontinuation symptoms usually go away within a few weeks.
Question: Which long-acting antidepressants can lead to discontinuation symptoms?
Answer: Other short-acting medications that affect mainly serotonin include: Celexa (citalopram) Lexapro (escitalopram) Paxil (paroxetine) Zoloft (sertraline) Withdrawal is less common with medications that take longer for the body to clear, such as Prozac (fluoxetine) or Trintellix (vortioxetine). However, longer-acting antidepressants can still sometimes cause discontinuation symptoms. Discontinuation symptoms have also been reported in people who stop taking older types of antidepressant medications, including tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors ( MAOIs).
Question: What are the symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation?
Answer: Symptoms of antidepressant withdrawal depend on the specific medication you have been taking. Symptoms most often occur within three days of stopping the antidepressant. They are usually mild and go away within about two weeks. Symptoms can include: Anxiety Depression and mood swings Dizziness and balance problems, possibly vertigo Electric shock sensations Fatigue Flu-like symptoms Headache Loss of coordination Muscle spasms Nausea Nightmares Tremors Trouble sleeping Vomiting In rare cases, antidepressant withdrawal may cause mania. Certain, older types of antidepressants called MAOIs can lead to confusion and psychotic symptoms.
Question: What should you know about antidepressant discontinuation?
Answer: These symptoms are not technically the same thing as physical "withdrawal" from a drug. Physiological withdrawal happens when someone is taking a drug that can be addictive. This leads to craving and drug-seeking behavior. Antidepressants are not addictive or habit-forming. Unlike drug withdrawal, antidepressant discontinuation effects are not related to addiction but can reflect physiological consequences of stopping a drug, just as when someone with diabetes stops insulin. About one in five people who take an antidepressant for six or more weeks may experience discontinuation symptoms if they suddenly stop taking the medicine. Tapering down your medication gradually under the supervision of your health care provider can help avoid or minimize symptoms. However, it is still possible in those who decrease their dose too rapidly or sometimes even slowly quit the medicine. However, discontinuation symptoms are more likely with antidepressants that stay in your body for a shorter period of time, especially those that affect both serotonin and norepinephrine, such as Effexor (venlafaxine) and Cymbalta (duloxetine).
Question: What are tips to make my hair look fuller?
Answer: Find a great barber or stylist. If you've always worn your hair parted on the left, try shifting it to the right or center. It's key to have a plan for upkeep, since hair color can make hair loss stand out if your roots are too noticeable. If you have mild to moderate hair loss, fiber hair cosmetics can be a quick fix for adding volume. These products use statically charged fibers that you sprinkle over your hair to make it look thicker.

Chronic anal fissures may be harder to treat and may be a symptom of another condition, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Signs that your child may have an anal fissure include: Crying during bowel movements Blood on the surface of stools or in soiled diapers A visible tear in the anal area
Question: Can excessive worry and anxiety cause a stress response?
Answer: Stress comes from the demands and pressures we experience each day. Long lines at the grocery store, rush hour traffic, a phone ringing nonstop, or a chronic illness are all examples of things that can cause stress on a daily basis. When worries and anxiety become excessive, chances are you'll trigger the stress response. There are two elements to the stress response. The first is the perception of the challenge. The second is an automatic physiological reaction called the "fight or flight" response that brings on a surge of adrenaline and sets your body on red alert. There was a time when the "fight or flight" response protected our ancestors from such dangers as wild animals that could easily make a meal out of them. Although today we don't ordinarily encounter wild animals, dangers still exist. They're there in the form of a demanding coworker, a colicky baby, or a dispute with a loved one.
Question: How can a social network help with worrying?
Answer: When worrying becomes excessive, it can lead to feelings of high anxiety and even cause you to be physically ill. People with high anxiety have difficulty shaking their worries.
Question: How should caregivers help people with Parkinson's disease with their bathing?
Answer: For safety and comfort, use the shower, if possible. Tub baths can be a falling hazard. While he's bathing, have him sit on a shower stool, use a hand-held showerhead, and hold a grab bar. Sometimes Parkinson's causes dandruff. If it does, use a little shampoo with mild coal tar or salicylic acid. Then rinse his hair well. Wrap him up in an absorbent terry cloth robe after bathing. Skip pantyhose and clothes that pull on over the head.
Question: How can I help someone with Parkinson's disease keep doing the activities that they love?
Answer: Don't let his symptoms discourage participating in activities. Specially adapted tools are available to help with things like holding a paintbrush. Try relaxing activities to reduce stress, which can make symptoms worse. Listening to music and relaxation guided imagery may help ease tremors. Besides the daily exercise that his doctor probably suggests, urge him to exercise his face muscles, jaw, and mouth. Sing or read out loud (using big lip movements) or make faces.
