"Normal Depression is often triggered by an event or circumstance in which you react to emotionally, such as the death of a loved one. This type of depression is psychological because you are emotionally “reacting” to something that has happened."

"Clinical Depression is more serious, triggered by a chemical imbalance in the brain. This is a biological disorder of the brain, but it has psychological symptoms. This type of depression need not follow any sad, stressful or upsetting event; it can kick in for no apparent reason at all other than a change in one’s brain chemicals."

Is this correct or is clinical depression just depression that is more serious and is not specifically due to chemical imbalance? I'm kind of confused about all this.

Every summer, I get a heat rash on the inside of my legs, and sometimes on the inside part of my arms.
What's the best way to go about getting rid of this?

I had a horrible experience where I was promised that I wouldn't even remember the procedure. I was on an I.V. and they put 02 on me as soon as the Interna; Specialist showed up. I felt everything, from every cut, to that tube going in and out. The Dr. did tell them to give me another 100 of who knows what. I wasn't even the least bit sleepy. I cried through the whole thing which did nothing but made me feel like a baby! If anyone out there has ever seen the movie "FIRE IN THE SKY", you will know what part kept flashing in front of my eyes. I asked, but was never given a clear answer on what went wrong. I was then told that my tolerance is so high that it impaired the sedation. I just can't shake it and I am already having nightmares. I had already told myself (jokingly) that I am going to have PTSD over this. I will never let anyone do anything to me again unless I am put under general anesthesia. I just want a clear cut answer. Anyone had this problem? TY for your help in advance.

1. Why do we have to drink all this large amount of water to loose weight , has water got anything to do with burning fats?

2. Can I eat fruits only as a snake two times a day within my light diet and still loose weight?

3. Why can't I eat banana with anything else, and what if I did , will I not loose weight?

Many thanks !

I can't stand the stuff. I use my preferred Sweet N Low. I don't who ever thought that Splenda tastes good. It is nasty.

McDonald's here in Georgia no longer has Sweet N Low. I take my own whenever I eat there (I like their chicken salads). I complained to the McDonald's website that they should offer other alternatives to Splenda...like keeping Equal (which is ok but I'm not a huge fan of) and Sweet N Low (which I prefer). Chick-Fil-A does...they offer all three. I keep a small ziploc bag in my purse with packets of Sweet N Low in it.

Yuck yuck yuck. You either love it or you hate it.

My Dr. has placed me on chromium. Not picolinate or any of the other chromiums. just plain old chromium. Is there a difference in the chromiums? I was just reading chromium picolinate is carcenogenic. True? Thanks in advance.

I get picked on at school and i get my bum kicked every day. But i think i have a broken tailbone. I was held down by about 5 boys and 5 other boys and 5 girls were watching. One of the boys smacked me right on the bum 3 times with a crieket bat. My bum is now in terrible pain and i think i have a broken tailbone because it hurts to walk. What should i do?

I love foods with sugar. I find that once I start, I can't stop. Yet, there are people out there who don't like junk food, they're really into health foods. If I stop eating junk food, will my body eventually become use to the lack of sugar and stop craving them?

been feeling really lethargic.... lots of flu symptoms with no actual flu. I am shivering and hot at the same time, my neck has been very stiff. I have had headaches, some slight stomach pains and lightheadedness, and have woken up on two occasion soaking wet from sweating, yet when I am lying in bed I am freezing cold.

I made an appointment with my doctor's surgery yesterday and I could only see the nurse who took a blood test and said there was some slight blood in my urine and that I had an elevated temperature..

I also went to Uganda and Rwanda in January 2007. I took all the malarial preventions but of course they are never 100% effective. I am due to go for a blood test tomorrow but the results won't be back for a further 10 days so I am just racking my brains trying to think do my symptoms resemble malarial ones...

My 2 yr old knocked himself out yesterday morning when he banged the back of his head. Rang NHS Direct and by this time he was totally fine - running around, singing (10 mins later after initial screaming fit). he was out for at most 5-10 seconds and NHS direct advised that i should just observe him, if i was worried to take him to a+e. He was fine all day yesterday and then this morning i noticed he was having a small nose bleed, nothing major, just a really small nose bleed, (normally i would have not even noticed it and maybe thought he had scratched his nose) - this has now continued all morning and i am really worried it is something to do with yesterday. He is fine in every other respect, singing, talking, moving, playing etc, which is why i haven't taken him to casualty. Does Anyone have any advice????
