By Talia Mana This is the sort of book you wish your doctor would read. It looks holistically at depression considering the biomedical model (i.e. there is something wrong with your body and in particular your brain) as well as psychosocial factors, lifestyle changes and other environmental influences. Is It Me or My Meds is penned by David Karp, who has long term depression and anxiety. He interviewed 50 people (including teens) with major depression and manic depression to gauge their attitudes about taking antidepressants and dealing with depression and the stigma around it. Why people take antidepressants Commonly accepted wisdom is that depression is caused by a biochemical balance in the brain which can be helped by taking antidepressants. Not everyone accepts this hypothesis. Some believe that depression and other mental illnesses can be fixed through meditation, counselling or other types of therapy, dietary changes, exercise or sheer willpower. According to an anonymous academic who blogs here http://clinpsyc.blogspot.com Please. There may well be brain issues in people with various mental illnesses, but this whole chemical imbalance thing is 95% marketing, 5% science. Find a serious scientist who will step up to the mic (sic) and tell us about the definitive chemical imbalance that causes bipolar, schizophrenia, or much of anything else in the mental disorder world. While there were many people that resisted medication there were some who welcomed it with relief. Many patients were anxious for anything that might grant them some relief from unrelenting feelings of sadness, worthlessness and at times suicidal ideation. Individuals reported varying degrees of success with antidepressants. For some, taking medications were a lifesaver that enabled them to feel more confident, overcome feelings of hopelessness and get on with life. However large numbers of people reported dissatisfaction with the side-effects of meds, failure of the meds to work effectively, gained only short-term relief from antidepressants or felt ostracised by being labelled as someone who needed to take psychotropic medications. There were several patients who refused to take meds, or found themselves hopeful that they would one day be able to wean themselves off antidepressants. Overall, the majority of patients interviewed did not like taking meds for depression, bipolar or anxiety. This attitude is also reflected in the attitude of the author, who has tried unsuccessfully to withdraw from taking antidepressants and antianxiolytic meds. The people interviewed referred to searching for identity and not knowing whether the self on drugs is the normal person or the one off drugs. Many felt pressure to conform to societys expectation of normalcy. The book includes a quote from Francis Fukuyama:There is a disconcerting symmetry between Prozac and Ritalin. The former is prescribed for depressed women lacking in self-esteem; it gives them more of the alpha-like feelings that comes with high serotonin levels.Ritalin on the other hand, is prescribed largely for young bots who do not want to sit still in class because nature never designed them to behave that way. How your relationship with your doctor affects you It was also evident throughout the book that the relationship of the individual to their health professional made a substantial difference. In situations where the individual felt that the health professional listened to their needs and offered trustworthy advice, patients were more likely to take meds and more likely to have success with them. In this respect the placebo effect of medications was influenced not only by the knowledge that they were taking meds for their depression but also by their trust in the Health Professional prescribing the meds. Married to antidepressant meds The author has a wonderful quote on taking meds:an unexpected relationship will become permanentHe uses this quote (from a fortune cookie) as an analogy to taking meds. He suggests that many people are encouraged to take meds as a temporary measure not realising that for some they will need to be on antidepressants for the rest of their life either because the illness is too severe or because the withdrawal symptoms of stopping are too painful. Doctors encourage patients to take meds likening the antidepressants to treatments for diabetes or headaches. However there is one critical difference - antidepressants are mind altering substances. In my experience with doctors they are all reading from the same script. They all want you to believe that antidepressants are better than the alternative. Im not convinced that is always the case. From my own personal experience the side-effects of meds often outweigh the benefits. Do the drugs really work? The author points out many of these drugs are relatively new. While they have been tested and found safe this is only within the parameters of their testing. If a drug has only been around for 10 years there is no way to know what its long term effect may be on someone who needs to take that med for another 50 years. For many the improvement from antidepressants is only slightly greater than the placebo effect. According to one study of SSRI antidepressants http://content.apa.org/journals/pre/5/1/23Approximately 80% of the response to medication was duplicated in placebo control groups, and the mean difference between drug and placebo was approximately 2 points on the 17-item (50-point) and 21-item (62-point) Hamilton Depression Scale. There were many patients interviewed in the book who had little or no relief from the prescribed antidepressants or find the side-effects unpalatable. The book is sympathetically written and will be helpful for people feeling isolated, confused or curious about anti-depressants. It is ideal for anyone who has ever considered taking medications for depression or other mental illnesses. It would also be useful for anyone who has colleagues or loved ones with depression, bipolar (manic depression) or anxiety.

By Michael Michels Twenty years ago we used cassette players, ten years ago it was portable CD players, five years ago we were burning our own CDs and since then it has been the onslaught of the ever popular iPod and other related MP3 players. Our world has changed so drastically in such a short time period. This new revolution has been so big, that I am now crediting these iPods and MP3 players with literally tons of weight lost during exercising. For those us who exercise regularly, these devices have become the norm in our workout routines. Glance at any runner, walker or people working out at a gym in your area and you will see what I am talking about (as if you have been living in a cave). The percentages are much higher today than in the past. Have we become antisocial towards other people? Maybe, but maybe we are just in the iZone. We love these things so much and for so many reasons. So, whats the big difference? Whether its twenty years ago or today, we are still listening to music. Why are we so addicted to these machines and what about them puts us in this iZone. The differences are obvious. First comes size. Those old clunky cassette players and CD players were just too big. Although you could strap it to your waist or arm, it just was not that appealing to have it weighting you down, besides the fact that the CDs often skipped and the cassettes needed to be flipped. The newest players are as small as a pack of gum or even smaller and we have an abundance of accessories that aid us in forgetting that we are wearing them. Second, we can store a near infinite number of songs on our little white gems. Regardless of size we can choose from somewhere around 100 songs to tens of thousands. WOW! That just blows those old fossils out of the water. Imagine a new MP3 player on sale at your local electronics store that holds a whopping 15 songs! Huh? Doesnt sound like such a hot buy? Well in the 80s and 90s our cassette players and CD players held just around that many. Now lets talk about ease of use. We didnt mind recording tapes and CDs that much, but boy was it time consuming. We now use our computers with USB or Firewire cables and boy it is an absolute snap. We save time and picking songs is simple also. No more loading cassettes and then fast-forwarding to find a spot. CDs may have been a little bit easier, but they still required the right equipment and time. Those are the obvious differences, but not the leading reason for our lust. We are in love with the individuality and diversity that these machines afford us. The words individuality and diversity have been etched in our vocabulary over the past ten years and that is exactly what iPods and MP3 players deliver for us. With the ease of use and song storing capacity we gain an immense amount of power. We stuff these creations chock full of diversity. Everyday in our lives we have many moods. Maybe we just had a bad night or maybe we just got some great news. Without worrying about any extra time or thought, we can go to the gym and scroll through artist after artist and pick what our mood demands. We almost never have a loss for music that appeals to us. It could be a brand new hit single or some song from the past that gets us psyched and ready to go. The primitive ancestors we were accustomed to just couldnt deliver this remarkable feature. Imagine being instantly motivated because of a library that seems endless. That is exactly what the creators of these modern marvels have done for us. We hear stories about the obesity epidemic in America almost everyday. So how can my claim be substantiated? Regardless of any other factors, we have a large amount of people in this country who workout on a regular basis. Gym memberships have increased over the past decade. Of those people exercising, a significant percentage of them are utilizing our newest technologies to their advantage. iPods and MP3 players give us a chance to get out of our bodies and minds for that workout period and can actually make time seem to go faster. Instead of thinking about every step you take, your mind is focused on that song that is geared for a specific mood. You have an almost out of body experience. This iZone creates a new place for us. This place allows us to perform at an optimal level regardless of where we are and who is around us. So keep those batteries charged and those song lists fresh and Americas weight loss will continue on its current hot streak for those of us who are committed to staying healthy. If you havent begun yet, this is such a great way to get started and make a difference in your life. Pick up an iPod or take that one you have off your desk and start working out. Join the revolution. It can be as simple as a short walk here or there or you can renew that old gym membership. Any place can be a starting point to a new lifetime commitment. Update that song list and give it a try. Let those songs release your minds grip over your body. It can change the way you think about exercising. I guarantee you will experience the iZone for yourself. Good Luck and what the heck, sing out loud while you run down the block!

By Sara Goldstein Social Security Disability (SSD) is paid to people whove been in the workforce but are now unable to work and need to start getting their Social Security benefits earlier than the standard retirement age. Its governed by the federal Social Security Disability Act. If youre over 31 you would usually have to have worked and paid into the Social Security system for 5 of the previous 10 years If youre under 31, that requirement is modified What does disabled mean? The federal Social Security Administration sets this meaning. Disability can be physical or emotional or a combination of these It must be severe enough to prevent you from performing a regular job for at least a year A doctor must state that youre disabled by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory findings. Sometimes a disabling condition cant be established by standard testing, especially if it has an emotional component. If you find yourself in that situation, a good disability lawyer can help. If youre become disabled and are unable to get your old job back, that in itself doesnt qualify you. If youve been looking for a job but been unable to find one, that also, in itself, doesnt qualify you. The issue is: Are you physically and emotionally able to do some kind of job thats available in the workplace? Can I apply for my own SSD? Yes, everyone can apply for their own benefits. But dont expect it to be easy. Long waiting lines Complicated forms to fill out Complicated regulations You may be denied even though your claim is legitimate You may be denied again at the appeals stage It can be quite discouraging and tedious. Theres another level of appeal where you have a live hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). You can argue your case and provide evidence and might be able to win at that stage. But people who are represented by a lawyer win their benefits a lot more often. Claim denials Claims are begun by filing in person at your local SS office, or by telephone. If your claim is denied at any stage, and you dont appeal, your claim is dismissed. Then you must start again. You should appeal the denial if you think your claim is legitimate. The time limit for appealing is 60 days. There are 4 levels of decision: 1. Initial determination 2. Reconsideration 3. An ALJ Hearing 4. Review by the appeals council If youre denied at all these levels, a case can be filed in a federal court. If you have become disabled but been rejected for social security disability benefits, contact a disability lawyer for a free legal consultation. The SS regulations allow you to hire an attorney on a contingency fee basis and theres a cap of $5,300 for the lawyers fee when you win.If you have to take your appeal all the way to a federal court, this cap is raised to 25% of all past due benefits eventually collected.So dont give up too soon. If your claim is legitimate, you should receive your benefits. Contact a good social security disability benefits attorney today.

By Anna Hart Migraine. Just the thought of it causes dread for millions of sufferers. Many have learned to expect and live with migraine pain, but they would rather not think of the next episode. Acupuncture for Migraines What Is Involved? Acupuncture is a type of alternative or complementary medicine, derived from traditional Chinese medicine. This treatment for pain involves insertion of fine needles into particular points in the body known as “acupuncture points”. The needles are then gently manipulated. Acupuncture for Migraine Prevention - Between Attacks If you decide to try acupuncture for migraines between your migraine attacks, and have an acupuncturist who distinguishes between prevention and treatment, you may receive SES acupuncture for migraines. You will receive your SES treatment in a sitting position. Fine acupuncture needles will be inserted very shallowly into your skin. The acupuncture points chosen for SES will usually be on your forearms and lower legs. The needles will then be gently manipulated, pushed back and forth, by hand while you exhale. Acupuncture for Migraine Treatment - During Attacks If you decide to try acupuncture for migraines during a migraine attack, and receive a typical treatment, fine needles will be inserted into acupuncture points all over your body. The needles will then be gently pushed back and forth. As it is moved, each needle will cause small blood vessels around itself to dilate. This will increase the blood flow throughout your bodys tissues. Your acupuncturist may take a different approach, however. Since your migraine pain is generally believed to be linked to blood vessel dilation in your head, he or she may not want to insert needles in the head and neck area. To do so might make your pain worse temporarily. Instead, your acupuncturist may use only the acupuncture points on your arms and legs. Great Britain Research on Acupuncture for Migraines * On 15 March 2004, four British newspapers reported on a study that found acupuncture helpful to people with migraines. * The four papers based their stories on a randomized, controlled trial. That trial studied the effects of using acupuncture for migraines along with more common types of care. The trial was conducted in twelve (12) different areas of England and Wales. It involved 401 patients in all. It reported results for 301 of those patients. * Patients treated with acupuncture for migraines had less severe headaches than those who received more common treatments. The patients treated with acupuncture for migraines also had fewer days off work, took less medication, and visited the doctor less often than did patients given only standard care. United States Research on Acupuncture for Migraines Two publications in the United States have published studies that have lead to strong, positive conclusions on the effectiveness of acupuncture for migraine relief. 1. Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Under the title, Acupuncture for Patients with Migraine, JAMA published a study involving 302 patients. Most of the patients were female. Patients were grouped into those who received acupuncture for migraines, those who received sham acupuncture for migraines, and a wait-list control. The researchers concluded that sham acupuncture was no less effective than regular acupuncture. Both acupuncture for migraines and sham acupuncture, however, had much greater positive effect on migraines than did the wait-list control. 2. Blackwell Synergy In this study, 160 women were studied to determine if acupuncture for migraines was effective or not. This study pitted acupuncture for migraines against the use of Flunarizine for migraines. * Group A received acupuncture for their migraines every week for two months. After that, they received acupuncture once monthly for four months. * Group B was given Flunarizine every day for two months. After that, they received the medication twenty days out of the month for four months.The studys conclusion was profound. Acupuncture for migraines won as the more effective treatment of the two. Acupuncture for Migraines Does It Hurt? You may be among those migraine sufferers who see acupuncture for migraines as a choice between the pain of the headache and the pain of needles. You may be among those who have an intense fear of needles. How can you get past the fear? 1. FIRST: Seek out a well-qualified, professional acupuncturist. Get recommendations, if possible. Be sure the acupuncturist is licensed and certified according to the law in your area. 2. SECOND: Visit the acupuncturist before making an appointment. Ask to see needle-sterilizing procedures. Ask if they use disposable needles. 3. THIRD: If you still fear the needles, ask if there is an alternative. Some offer magnetic needles, ear cups, and/or herbal methods. 4. FOURTH: Make an appointment. When you go for your appointment, be sure you explain exactly the problem you are having, its frequency, and intensity. Provide as much medical information as possible. This will help the acupuncturist provide the acupuncture for migraines treatment that is best for you. NOTE: It is wise to keep your primary health care provider aware that you are using acupuncture for migraines in addition to or in place of any treatment he or she may advise. 2007 Anna Hart.

By Carl Mueller What interview questions to ask is a question that job searchers often ask themselves when preparing for their interview. The questions you ask during an interview can be a critical part of showing an interviewer that you are interested in the job and knowledgeable about the company. Sure, youre going to be asked most of the questions during the interview but youre expected to ask questions yourself, too. Remember that interviewing is a two-way street. Employers almost always allow you time to ask some questions during an interview and you need to be prepared with some questions and also account for the fact that some questions you might want to ask get answered during the course of the interview. When considering what interview questions to ask, remember to ask questions that relate to the company, the job and to what you offer the company. Your list of interview questions to ask should be typed out on a plain sheet of white paper and brought with you during the interview. Dont try to memorize the questions, write them down. What specific questions should you ask? What questions shouldnt you ask? Obviously, the specific job and industry will largely help you decide what interview questions to ask the person you are meeting with when discussing a job. Here are some good interview questions to ask that should help you put a short list together that you can tailor for each interview you attend: Interview Questions To Ask About The Job Can you describe the ideal candidate for the job?Could you describe a typical workday for the position? What special skills does this position require? What special skills would your ideal candidate possess? Can you tell me a little bit about the people Ill be working with? Can you tell me a little bit about the people Ill be managing? (If you are managing staff)Is this a newly created position or am I replacing someone? How will my performance on the job be measured? How much travel does the job require? Interview Questions To Ask About The Company What does the company do better than its competitors to distinguish itself? What are the immediate goals of the department youll be working in? What are the immediate goals of the company? How does the group youll be working in fit into the organizational structure of the company? What is the biggest challenge that the company faces? What is the companys competitive advantage? What does the interviewer like about the company the most? Depending on who you meet during the interview: Interview Questions To Ask The Hiring Manager What specific goals do you have set out for this job in the first 6 months/12 months? What challenges do you see me having to face to complete these goals (the goals they mentioned in the first question). What could I do in this role that would make your job easier? Interview Questions To Ask A Human Resources rep Does the company offer employee training? What is the company policy on continuing education? Depending on who you speak with when you end the interview: Interview Questions To Ask Before You Leave The Interview Are there any other questions I can answer regarding my background and suitability for the job? Are there any questions you asked that I can further clarify for you? Do you have any concerns regarding my suitability for the position? How do I compare with other candidates you have interviewed? What is the next step in the interview process? Carl Mueller is an Internet entrepreneur and professional recruiter who wants to help you find your dream career.

By Camille Johnson The Fourth of July is just around the corner. Why not celebrate the holiday at a barbecue or a fireworks show with that special someone you’ve had your eye on for some time? How can you make it a memorable evening and the beginning of something more lasting? if you want to make a great first impression leading to more dates with her, follow these tips. 1) The ‘Golden Rule’ is to ask her out at least a week in advance. People’s calendars fill up quickly, especially for holidays and special events. However, if you’ve just been invited somewhere yourself and it’s OK to bring a new friend, it’s not too late to call her (do it NOW though!). Tell her exactly how this invitation came about and that she’s the chosen one! 2) While e-mailing her may be tempting, it’s best to pick up the phone and call. Using the phone and reaching another person, or at least leaving a message on their answering machine, is more personal and a classier way to ask a potential date out than an email. 3) On the phone, be specific about what the event entails and when it starts. This shows that you’re respectful of his/her time and are organized and have planned this thing out. 4) If she says yes, start planning the details. If you’ll be taking her to a friend’s barbecue, make sure your friend is OK about you bringing a guest. Don’t let a surprise foil your evening once you two are there, like finding out your friend was playing cupid for you that night and ’surprising’ you with a date! 5) Think about presenting her with a small gift when you pick her up. If you don’t know her well yet, stay safe with a bouquet of flowers or balloons or some chocolates rather than a glass of wine (maybe she doesn’t drink) or jewelry (too personal for a first date, even if it’s inexpensive). 6) Mind your manners on the date. Introduce her to your friends and make sure you don’t ignore her by getting into a long discussion with a buddy about last week’s game. Remember that, unless she knows most of the people there, she probably feels somewhat nervous about socializing with a bunch of strangers and will appreciate your introductions and a certain amount of watching out for her. 7) When you take her home, don’t act too eager to get invited into her home. In fact, it’s often a good idea to take the initiative to tell her good night at the door, that you had a great time (if that’s the case!), thank her, and leave. Leave a little mystery. Whatever you do, don’t say you’ll call her if you have no intention of doing so. Even so, be sure to thank her for her time. If things did go well, call her in a couple days and tell her you’d like to see her again and set another date, this time for just the two of you. Good Luck and Happy Fourth!

By Edgar Pools The liposuction is a process of removing fat surgically from a specific body area. Potentially, the liposuction can be done on any body parts: thighs, knees, breasts, buttocks, arms, back and other areas having extra fat and which can be corrected by the liposuction. The abdomen is the most common part people want to have fixed. Women usually get the liposuction on the abdomen, chin, hips and thighs. Men do the liposuction surgery to reduce the size of their stomachs. The liposuction can be used as a treatment not only for the stomach and abdominal area; it can be done on several areas simultaneously, for example, on the stomach, thighs, and breasts in the same day. The development of liposuction gives an opportunity of modifying people looks in a fashion style without being on diets for months and working out in gym. The liposuction makes it possible to have a body you want for the money you pay for it. The liposuction is usually performed by plastic surgeons or dermatologists, although an authorized physician can also do the liposuction. Professional physician associations highly recommend taking special training in the liposuction; however, standardized training is not required. Before having the liposuction you have to verify if your doctor has had specialized training, and if he or she has a record of the successful liposuction operations. However, there is always a risk that the liposuction can go with complications. People with heart and lung diseases, poor blood circulation and diabetes, or after resent surgery have a higher risk of having complications. In such cases you must inform your physician of any exiting medical conditions. After the liposuction fat is permanently removed, therefore doctors mainly recommend the liposuction to excessively overweight people. The liposuction surgery helps to remove large amounts of fat over several sessions. Up to six liters of pure fat can be removed during each session. The liposuction helped many people to get into a healthier life much easier raising the self-esteem and well-being at the same time. As a form of cosmetic surgery the liposuction is one of the safest forms which performed regularly. It requires only the local anesthetic application. People of all ages can have the liposuction, but older patients do not obtain the same convalescence results as young, as their skin is less elastic and slower to recover. If you are seriously considering the liposuction then you should know what this process involves. It is important to understand what you are going to experience, even if you are afraid of emergency rooms and faint from blood. Also you have to agree to all required treatments. The liposuction usually involves the following: the surgeon makes a cut in the liposuction area then inserts a vacuum tool pushing and pulling the fat until it is lose enough to be suctioned out. When the surgery is finished the elastic garment is placed around the liposuction area. After the operation patients are asked to rest for first few days and refrain from effort making activities for several months. Doctors usually prescribe pain killers with the antibiotic treatment to reduce the risk of infection. After the liposuction patients do not suffer considerably. However, you should know that pills reduce the pain but do not eliminate it completely. Edgar Pools is plastic surgeon, appearing on shows such as Nine’s Body Work.

By Terry Daniel Don’t think for a minute that all vocal talent is exactly alike. Hiring a voice over artist is not like hiring a plumber. The result you get with one plumber should be what you get with any other plumberan unclogged drain, a repaired pipe, a fixed problem. A voiceover project is very different, however, because there are so many ways it could be done. Therefore, anyone who needs to hire vocal talent should first know what they need. For instance, for some projects, a TV promo voice is just the thing to make it sing. Another type of project may require a theatrical voice. Every professional voiceover artist is not going to be right for every type of project, and that is partly because different people have training and skills in different areas and partly because different personalities produce different results. For instance, a TV promo voice may be good for commercials, advertising jingles and that kind of thing. That is because this type of voice can get the listener’s attention quickly and deliver the message. Air time is limited. If you’ve bought a 60-second spot, you need a voice that can do the job in 60 secondsand that’s getting the potential customer’s attention; delivering the message quickly, clearly and efficiently; and wrapping up with a call to action. However, if you have a longer voiceover project, this type of voice may not be the right one. While the TV promo voice is great for getting attention, it may not be the best one for keeping someone’s attention. Think about it. How long could you listen to a voice like that without going bonkers? For projects like audio books, you will need someone who sounds pleasant enough to listen to for hours on endrelaxing, yet not so relaxing that they put the listener to sleep. Unless, of course, you’re making a CD to soothe insomnia. At any rate, for projects like theatrical programs or audio books, you may need more of a theatrical voiceover. If someone is going to read a novel to a listener, they have to be able to hold their attention. They have to be good at narration and dialog and make it all sound natural. If they need to sound silly, they need to be able to do that. They need to be able to sound warm or afraid or angry. They need to be able to do it smoothly and confidently. The voiceover artist’s personality comes into play as well, because different personalities are going to handle the same project in different ways. But don’t worry. Those are the things that one learns in an audition, which isn’t terribly different from a job interview.

By Mike Jones What are the pros and cons of wet shaving? PROS: Quick, inexpensive, an especially close shave, refreshing and reinvigorates the skin with use of shaving lotions. CONS: Stubble reappears quickly, risk of cuts and nicks to the skin, risk of ingrown hair if the blade is not sharp. What should I look for in choosing a razor? Some razors such as Schick and Wilkinson-Sword, have comfort or lubricating strips near the cap above the blades. Some contain aloe and are made from water soluble polymer or PVP which allows for a smooth glide over the skin reducing friction. Twin blades allow for a very close shave and many come with flexible heads allowing the razor to follow the contours of the body. Look for razors with safety guard wires over the blades to minimize the risk of cuts and nicks and skin irritation. Blades with a platinum chrome finish maintain their sharpness. Which is the best direction - with the hair growth or against it? Shaving in the same direction as the hair growth is the most comfortable. Shaving against the hair growth certainly gives a much closer shave. Many use a combination of both. Many dermatologists warn however that shaving against the hair growth can cause ingrown hair and irritation and it can make the skin sore and sensitive. How many times can I use one blade? This depends greatly on the individual and the thickness or coarseness of the hair. Some prefer to change a blade after using it once or twice, others after 3 or 4 times while many expect between 5 to 7 uses. The key is to change it regularly and always use a sharp blade. If you feel it dragging on your skin it’s time to change it! Note: Hair inhibitors can slow down hair growth, even when shaving.
