ok. so, I heard this myth about if you take Zinc, your brain will react to it, thus making the brain smarter, and think faster, etc. Is this true? I saw this on Kron 4 News, but I didn't see the whole thing, so I don't know the details to it. But I know that they said Zinc helps your brain a lot. Is it true that if you take zinc pills you get smarter?

I fought chronic pain for fifteen years before taking meds. Now, I have a physicain to give musle relaxors, a psychirist to give chemical imbalance meds, and a pain doctor for the pain. Wow!!! Does it not seem like there should be one doctor to give meds? The reason for this question is that there is one contreversal med that helps and I only take when symptoms are drastic. Doesn't it seem that if I had one doctor, my meds would mix and the doctor would know what is needed. Three years ago, I found these great doctors and put the past doctors in the past. So, how can I get this med from one doctor and how do I know which one to ask?

We hear so much about all the murders and child predators and especially the family murder/suicide rates in our country, but, no one seems to address that many crimes and bad acts by our citizens could be prevented if they had a sound community mental health system to turn to.

It's sad that we have not made the same progress in mental health and how we address our emotions and mental states as we have in Cardiology, Onocology, and other Medical Fields. People are still treated like misfits if they have problems, and it's treated in a "hush-hush" manner and the stigma that goes with it is the worse discrimination that takes place.

It's sad that Crisis counselors are made available for those affected by the loss of control of others, but, had such help been available to the perpetartors of these acts in the first place, they might have been prevented. We are too used to reacting and grieving instead of preventing. We need to provide help to those that want and need it.

I have had this habit for over 10 years now (I'm 25). I twist my hair so tight that it gets in a knot or I rip it out. And I do it A LOT! The bad thing is that 90% of the time I don't even realize that I'm doing it until someone tells me or I get a cramp in my neck. I even do it in my sleep! I even have a little bit of a bald spot on the underside of my hairline. This action looks like, please forgive the bluntness, but that I'm retarded. I know that it is a nervous habit, but unless I'm subconciously nervous that doesn't make sence. I have tried a few things to stop. As weird as it sounds I've even tied my hand to my side at night, but woke up untied. I did have a major head injury when I was 7 in the exact same spot that I twist. I have only heard that people with head injuries sometimes do things like that later in life. It's like the body never dealt with the trauma when it happened, and it's trying to now. Is there any truth to that? And, is hypnosis worth trying? HELP!
