I am 19 and recently got my own insurance, I have struggled with depression for 12 years and It is finally time to get some help, now that I do not need to use my parent's insurance (or family doctor). I need a doctor that can both prescribe antidepressants as well as engage in therapy but I'm not sure how to find a reputable one or how to become a new patient. Also, I'm four months pregnant, and the main reason I'm taking this step is to not endanger my baby, born or unborn. The baby's father has promised to support me in all this, but I'm scared and embarrassed, even about finding a doctor. Help?

Is it normal that people don't have to pass a psychology test before they get the drivers license?

I have a 28-year old fiance. He had a very difficult childhood with an extremely strict dad at a highly stressful home.
Some times under the emotional pressure- as he says- he becomes completely faint/ unconscious. This condition first started when he was 19. Totally he has experienced 5 occasions in which he became suddenly unconscious- with no warning symptoms before that - after experiencing a strong feeling of stress, frustration, anger and emotional pressure. He says he once went to a doctor but doctor only advised him to stay away from stress!!
I'm so worried for him, so are my mom and dad. Please help me know if this condition is considered normal/abnormal. What is this condition likely to be? Is it a type of epilepsy or something? How can he avoid/ cure this condition at future.

Thank you so much for taking time to help me.

Regards,

Neg

I do it without even realising, I do it when I can´t find anything else to talk about, I´ve told so many lies in my life that sometimes I loose track of what is the truth and what is a lie, I don´t think I´m a bad person and I don´t want to lie any more but I don´t know how to stop. Please help!!!

Hi. I have just been diagnosed with anxiety. I have never went through something so bad in my life!!! I feel like something is wrong with my heart, lungs, or brain, but my DOC says they are fine and it is anxiety. Everyday for the last 3-4 weeks, I have been short of breath. Sometimes it is not noticable, but most of the time it is. I try not to think about it, hoping it will go away. I also get aches or pain randomly in my body. I get tingling feelings in different parts of my body too. I have chest pain sometimes. Sometimes I wake up sweating too. I have heart palpatations also. Can you have heart palpitations and shortness of breath all the time from anxiety? I feel like I'm falling apart!! My doctor is probably right, but I would just like some feedback if anyone has had this before. I am starting Prozac today. I hope it helps.

My life as I know is rolling like erosion.
Rock by rock the mountain is worn away.
Its function now seems passed, confusion
Disorientated sight, the processor has many errors
That refuse to reveal when I attempt a scan.
Embedded into my system and causing much
Damage, like picking apples from a knowledged
Tree and leaving the branches of ignorance.
Making logic of life is beyond conception
The struggles today have by no means been a struggle
The jaunt to that land have implemented a struggle
Making laughable scenarios a walk in the dark
Bright and warm is the climate of my struggle,
Breaking Shakespeare’s pathetic rule,
These days don’t reflect my mindset
While the world chirps, my sound is a grunt
Thinking how to escape the wheel of rebirth
Assessing and reflecting on the time gone now
But the past is the foundation for the future,
The road I walk now is dark and bewildering
My wits refuse to grant leeway

Some males are all testosterone and seem to be on edge all the time. They brag of their mating rights and don't seem to have any estrogen left to make them friendly. I just dont trust them.

I was very near my sister, we loved each other very much, even if we have good parents I was mostly afather for her. 4 moths ago I married and at the same time I changed job and I moved to another city. Since I married my sister didn't want to talk to me. She hates my wife even if she has always been kind and understanding. My sister has been very rude to her: last time she told her that she doesn't belong to our house. The few times I spoke to her she says she feel abandoned even though I call her and sms her constantly and I make her full of ttention. I know she is not that much rude and bad as she wants to show, she is a sweet girl inside. Can anybody suggest what to do? Please avoid to write to tell her to disappear as I won't do that.

In the last 5 months my niece has passed out (fainted), the last episode being 2 nights ago when she was brought the ER. Tests done confirmed she was very fine physically and a consultation with a psychologist/psychiatrist was suggested by the ER doctors. The ER doctors said she was hyperventilating and suggested some preventive measures including the "brown bag" thing. I am just curious if the diagnosis was right because in all 5 episodes she fainted. I did some quick research and I found that people experiencing hyperventilation do not necessarily faint. Are there any medical doctors/experts in Yahoo! Answers who can clarify this.

Also, the suggestion that she consults a psychologist or psychiatrist would indicate that her symptoms are psychosomatic, which then is the better professional to consult, a psychiatrist or a psychologist?

In celebration of everything that is gloriously New in Yahoo! Anwers, I would appreciate it, if only serious answerers and experts would reply.

People destress in different ways. Some of which are more interesting than others. It'll be cool to know what these remedies are...
