Should illegal immigrants be entitled to special treatment if they're married to US Soldiers?
Written by Sinela in Anti Aging
LOS ANGELES – The nightmares still plague him. The terrifying mortar attacks. The loss of an Albanian soldier and ally, mutilated by shrapnel. The Iraqi children, bloodied and battered, lined up for medical care at the U.S. base at Mosul.
Two years after returning from his service in Iraq, U.S. Army Spc. Jack Barrios, 26, is fighting sleeplessness, sudden angry outbursts, aversion to emotional intimacy and other fallout from his post-traumatic stress disorder.
But as he undergoes counseling and swallows anti-depressants, the soldier is fighting an even bigger battle: to keep his family from collapsing as his wife, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, faces deportation.
His wife, 23-year-old Frances, was illegally brought to the United States by her mother at age 6, learned of her status in high school and discovered just last year that removal proceedings have been started. Her possible deportation has left Barrios in panic as he contemplates life without her.
The Army reservist says his wife is the family’s anchor, caring for their year-old daughter and 3-year-old son and helping him battle his post-traumatic stress.

i am a claustrobia pacient since many many years. i want to know if any treatment is easily available?
Written by Sinela in Anti Aging
i live in pakistan , am 40 yrs of age. am married with 3 kids. i have a mild claustrophobia since a long long time. it seems to me as its growing severe with age. i have typical stmptoms of the disease , like getting anxiety attacks and panic in places that are confined or unable to escape. i always avoid elivators and get worried during flights but i do take an hour or two flights but all the time am trying to dispurse the thoughts of anxiety. with a chewing gum in my mouth i find a little help. i try to keep the anti depressants with me , though i do not use it but that keeps me calm somewhat as i have a hope that these pills will make me relax.
i even get anxiety attacks while having a dental treatment or having heavy shampoo on my hair. during these attacks my heart beets are very much increased, my hands and toes get cold, my face gets pale, i feel like my breath is not coming.
i am very much worried about this situation and wonder if if if i can ever get out of this? plz help

In your opinion what would be the best course of treatment for someone over the age of 50 with Panic disorder?
Written by Sinela in Anti Aging
My Father is 58. he is an alcoholic and has had depression for quite some time. In the last few weeks he has been experiencing extreme panic attacks. He said he would go to the Doctor but is now refusing. I think he is becoming agoraphobic as well. As far as I can tell he will refuse treatment. I have talked to him about cognitive and behavioral therapy, but he treats me like I am 12(I am 30)and just dismisses my information. My Mom has bought him the light for light therapy, and I am againts anti-depressants(and anti anxiety) because of his extreme alcoholism. We will pay for a treatment center if we think he will go. Any suggestions for us to help him would be appreciated.
Thanks Paula we are thinking about doing an intervention, but I feel like my Mom thinks she would just be shipping him away, and she has to be willing to change her life to, I am not sure if she is willing. Unfortunately I can not be around him. I suffer from a mental illness as well and I spent the majority of my life having to deal with my Fathers alcoholism and listening to himsaying the meanest things tome, I will not willingly put myself in that situation. I just want him to get help, but right now it seems he would rather wallow in it. I guess I just need some assurance that I am doing all I can to help. I have been researching, and I found a place for him but it is in Quebec and would be 3-6 months. My MOm is the one who has to say it is time, even though I think the time is now. Thank you Paula

Can a doctor refuse me mental health treatment?
Written by Sinela in Anti Aging
A very close family member committed suicide a couple of yrs ago, since then i have suffered 4rom severe depression n have been sectioned twice due 2 attempts on my own life amongst other things. After seein psychiactric docs/nurses i was put on several anti-depressants and tranqs, which 4 sum reason lost there effectiveness very quickly in my system n it got 2 a stage where they refused 2 up the dosage any more on my prescription meds or give me anything stronger due 2 my age n bein underweight. Anyway, i recently had 2 change doctors n he’s refusin 2 treat me unless i seek counselling (which i have tried n its not 4 me), so i saw a diff doc at the practise and he has obviously written sommat on my file, coz she refused 2 help me either. I have tried getting into other practises near me and i cant get in at the moment, nor can i return to my old doc coz i have moved out of the area. I am really struggling and am sick of trying 2 keep myself 2gether. Plz do NOT suggest counselling 2 me

Risk of Anti-Depressants?
Written by Sinela in Anti Aging
I am wondering what the risks of taking anti-depressants (at the age of 17, weight 180, height 6’2 – 6’3) are. I was also wondering if certain types of "depression" aren’t under the category of taking anti-depressants, such as depression caused by severe emotions (break-up, relationships) and an over-loaded schedule of things to do (school, work, extracurriculars).
If that information is hard to obtain, then what are some pros and cons of taking anti-depressants, specifically at the age 17 and generally at any age. Also, if on anti-depressants, how long does treatment typically last (what is the process)?
Jamel, your answer has nothing to do with my question sorry. I’m not concerned about weight-loss strategies..
