According to a study published in a 2005 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, it cost $63 billion a year for medication.

If you knew, will you hire someone with the illness, OR, are you afraid of someone that has it, OR, do you make fun of people that have it, OR, do you feel compassion for people that have it?

What is your knowlege of this issue?

Well from the begging of June I have been eating a 1500 calorie diet and exercizing for 30 to 40 minutes.I have seen some changes (with some white strech marks apearing) but I also don't want to screw up and gain weight instead of loosing because of the foods I eat. Well a few minutes ago I was estimating how many calories I ate today, then suddenly when I got to what I ate for dinner (which was beans and rice) I didn't know how many calories they have. I know rice is a bad choice to eat when you're trying to loose weight since it does contain cabohydrates but I just wanna know how many calories does a small bowl of rice and beans have.

And can anyone give me some tips in what foods to eat that will help me loose weight more quicker and what work-outs that can help me? All I do is 100 crunches (Which I rest for 8 seconds after 10 of them),150 rise the roof w/dumbells, and 100 lunges.

I would never do it, but when i get really stressed out or angry i think about just killing myself and it helps me to calm down.
I would NEVER do it jsut to repeat myself, i have 2 beautiful girls, that i live for, if id id'nt have them i might,
i was jsut wanting to know if it was normal tohave these kinds of thoughts every once in a while. it does scare me to a point but i know i wouldn't do it

When I was younger I used to have crooked teeth now they are better but when I used to have crooked teeth I would talk without my teeth showing and no one can understand me. How do I talk showing my teeth, I try but its really hard because I've been used to talking this way for so many years. Im 16 by the way.

I am 22 years old and have an issue with my right eye. The only option is a contact for just that eye. I went to the eye doctor and they successfully put it in for me and took it out. They put in another one and it was my job to get it out-- I CANT DO IT. I know how... pinching it out or sliding it down and then pulling... but I am psyching myself out. I got my husband to get it out, thinking I could put it in, then get it out. I can't even get it in. I guess it's the pressure of the eye doctor and everyone looking at you. But you can't take them home until you prove that you can get it in once and out once..I guess it's a liability issue. Anyway, I've seen everyone demonstrate HOW... but I guess I need advice on getting near my eye. The problem isn't HOW I hold my eye... I just seem to be really, really nervous. Like my hand wants to pull away when I try! Do you have any advice? I feel soooo silly. I want clear vision so bad!

My aunt has been brainwashing her mom, my grandma. She's doing this so my grandma will change her will so my aunt will get all of the money when she dies. Our whole family knows this, except my grandma who refuses to believe us. Why she wont believe us is beyond me. She has 10 kids, and many more grandchildren. It's gotten to the point where my aunt has gotten my grandma to believe she's sick, and has had a stroke. She's lost interest in things she has once loved, and nobody knows what to do. I'm only 16, but I feel helpless. We've tried getting a restraining order, or something along those lines, but we need my grandma to agree with it so it can be accepted. I've almost lost all hope, and need some suggestions on what we can do to save my grandma!

I have a tight schedule and this is vacation for about 2 weeks for me until prep school over the summer starts and I want to train myself to work efficently and save the most amount of time I can. The need to sleep has taken so much time from me and I WANT IT BACK! Well naturally this is not possible but I want to be able to sleep less hours maybe up to seven or eight hours each night and still be able to wake up refreshed and not needing to drink green tea or coffee to stay awake. THANKS EVERYONE!

I had a weird dream that I died 4 years before the date it actually was. In this dream, it was snowing when I really thought it was summer (it was feb.2nd). If you have ever seen the movie the 6th sense you will understand this better. I died in a car accident, but I did not know it. The person I was with (my mother) told me that I was actually dead and that the date was 4 years after my death...(I must have been a ghost or something) I looked at a newspaper too in the dream to see the date. I tried to visit all my friends and my girlfriend and no one knew I existed. I woke up crying which is something that hasn't ever happened to me. crying is something that hasn't happened to me for a very long time and I don't usually show emotion unless it is with my girl.

Am I on the verge of a breakdown or something? What's going on..

ATTN Doctors, Nurses, or PA's ~

I am on Opana (oxymorphone) therapy for a degenerative back disorder. Is it stronger than, or equal to oxycontin? Or what is its equivalent miligram dosage? I take Opana 10mg Extended Release (2x a day), and Opana 5mg (4 to 6 a day) for the inbetween times. Ive been on Oxycontin too, but the withdrawal from that was worse than the oxymorphone when I took a break from it. The oxycontin also didnt seem to work as well. Is that normal? I was surprised to not have any withdrawal pains when I went off the oxymorphone, thank God. Can anyone tell me what my Opana intake is equal to in regards to oxycontin, and if it is in fact a stronger medication. Thank you, and wish me luck. I dont want to have to take oxymorphone for the rest of my life. I will say that the oxymorphone is a Godsend at the moment. It lets me drive, walk almost normally, and live without the pain.. I even do yoga to try and help. But if someone can answer my first question, I thank you.

Doctors say that once you're exposed to a carcinogen, you are considered to be "at risk" for the rest of your life due to the exposure (even if you are only exposed once). So, why would quitting REDUCE one's risk, shouldn't it only prevent the risk from growing larger?

p.s. if a person is exposed to a chemical carcinogen (like getting double the recommended dose in one day) will they be at risk forever and is the risk usually greatly increased from one exposure, or do most carcinogens require long term exposure at larger doses?
