Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Seek psychiatric and medical care benefits. Look into home loan benefits. Review your life insurance benefits. Look into benefits for special groups.

Answer: Depending on the length and type of service, affordable psychiatric and medical assistance is provided to veterans and their families. This includes hospital care, critical care, surgery, and more. All enrolled veterans are eligible for VA medical care. However, benefit coverage depends upon your status, and the benefit elections you make. The VA helps veterans and their survivors purchase homes by guaranteeing loans and providing assistance with building and repairing existing homes. The assistance available depends on the length of the veteran's service. Life insurance coverage is automatic for most active duty members and reservists, and is converted to Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) after service is over. If you have questions about your life insurance coverage, visit the VA Benefits website or contact your local VA facility. Additional life insurance may be available in some cases, such as if you have a disability due to your service. Benefits are available to service members who are also members of special groups. Depending on the needs pertaining to the special group, benefits may include housing, healthcare, employment assistance, and more. If you are a member of one of the following special groups, visit the VA benefits website for more information: Elderly Veterans Gulf War Veterans Homeless Veterans Incarcerated Veterans Korean War Veterans Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual Veterans Minority (African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Native American/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian) Veterans Native American and/or Alaska native Veterans Former Prisoners of War (POWs) Veterans Living Abroad Vietnam War Veterans Women Veterans World War II Veterans

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See a therapist. Explain your anxiety to your doctor. Sign up for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Consider anti-anxiety medications. Try a natural remedy.

Answer: Know when it's time to get a doctor involved. If you are experiencing chronic anxiety and feel you may have an anxiety disorder, make an appointment with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Anxiety can manifest as a mental-health disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Anxiety disorders can lead to debilitating worry, panic attacks, agoraphobic, separation anxiety, social anxiety, and even obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's very difficult to treat mental-health anxiety disorders without the help of a doctor, and the sooner you see one, the faster you'll feel better. Although "diagnosis" can be an intimidating word, a diagnosis of a mental-health disordersuch as anxiety disorderwill help your therapist or psychiatrist know how to treat your specific case of anxiety. To find a therapist, start by talking to your medical doctor. He or she may have recommendations on where to find a good mental-health professional. There are also online resources to connect you with a therapist or psychiatrist in your area: the ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) website lets you search for therapists in your area. It's important that you trust your therapist, and feel relaxed and comfortable when speaking to them. When searching for a therapist, you should also check in with your health-insurance provider to see if therapy, psychiatrist, and medication expenses are covered by your insurance. Be as specific as possible when describing your anxiety symptoms to a therapist or psychiatrist. They're there to help you, and will already be familiar with a range of mental-illness symptoms and manifestations of anxiety. If you have specific triggers that set off your anxiety, be sure to mention those. Anxiety disorders respond well to therapy, but only if your therapist has enough information to help you. Try saying something like: "Normally I'm fine, but whenever I have to be in a crowd, my breathing and heart rate increase and I'm suddenly very anxious." "I have so many anxious thoughts going through my head that it's hard for me to get through the day." CBT is a type of psychotherapy where your therapist teaches you how to cope with your anxiety while reframing your way of thinking. For this therapy, you will meet with a therapist once every week or two. It can be used in combination with medication and other forms of therapy. Your therapist may give you exercises to do between appointments. Always do these exercises to help improve the effectiveness of therapy. CBT can take up to a few months. You must remain committed to the therapy for the entire duration for it to work. If you experience prolonged anxiety that affects your ability to sleep and go about your day for an extended period of time, ask your psychiatrist about medication that could reduce your anxiety. Many anti-anxiety drugs can have negative side effects or be habit-forming, so be sure to try methods such as therapy, exercise, and mental strategies before jumping into medications. Panic attacks, extreme social anxiety, and other symptoms can be effectively treated with a prescription drug that suits your needs. Certain herbs, teas, and supplements are said to decrease symptoms of anxiety. Although homeopathic methods are not proven medically, herbs and teas can be useful in soothing and calming you. Try the following options: The chamomile flower is traditionally used to treat anxiety, stress, and an upset stomach. It has properties that are similar to anti-depressant drugs. It can be brewed into tea or taken as a supplement. Ashwagandha is an herb used in Ayurvedic medicine that may be helpful in treating anxiety. You can buy it as a supplement. Ginseng is said to help the body reduce stress. Try taking a ginseng supplement daily for its anxiety-fighting effects. Consider trying Kava kava. It is a Polynesian plant said to have a sedative effect that relieves anxiety if used short-term. However, long-term use is not advised, and some people report it can actually make their anxiety worse. If you're interested in trying it, see if your local health foods store carries this supplement, or order it online. Valerian root is popular in Europe for its sedative properties. Take it when you are experiencing difficult bouts of anxiety that you can't seem to overcome.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Harden off your tomato plant when it is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) tall. Mix your soil with compost and fertilizer. Dig a hole a few inches deeper than your plant. Transplant your tomato plant. Water your tomatoes after transplanting.

Answer:
When your tomato plant is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) tall, begin acclimating it to the outdoors. Over the course of 10 days, take your tomato plant to a sheltered area in your garden and let it sit. Start with a few hours on day one and add a bit more time each day. This process is known as hardening off your plant. When choosing a spot, look for an area where your plant will receive filtered sunlight, such as through tree branches, and is protected from wind and debris. In the spot you plan on planting your tomatoes, use a digging fork to loosen your soil to about 8 inches (20cm) deep. Spread about 2 inches (5.1cm) of organic compost over the soil, followed by a similar amount of balanced all-purpose fertilizer. Make sure the compost and fertilizer are evenly spread and mixed into the soil. Let the ground sit for a few days before planting. Use a ruler or tape measure to find the height of your plant from the bottom of its container to the top of its stalk. Use this number to create a hole in the middle of the area you will transplant your tomatoes to. The hole should be a few inches deeper than the plant itself. Carefully remove the seedling from its pot, being extra gentle when loosening the roots. Place the plant in the hole with only the top leaves sticking above ground. Fill the hole with soil, press it down with your hands, and water it. To help it grow, make sure to water your tomato plant immediately after relocating it. Sprinkle water over the ground until the soil is moist.
