I am a Freshman at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY with an Undeclared major. I am very interested in this field, I just do not know much about what classes are like (including the curriculum) or daily tasks for a career in Psychiatry other than therapy sessions. Thank you in advance!

I go through depressive stages more often than usual. The kind that cripples you, body and mind. Any suggestions on how to deal with it without having to take a happy pill everyday?

They happen for a second or two and give me no pain just a sudden freezing feeling in my chest. My illness tells me that it is the devil taking my soul for the unforgivable sins of my past. Could there be a more rational medical reason for it? Does anyone else get this?

My husband has a minor case of Tourettes syndrome, and he didnt realize it till now when hes 27... when he was younger he used to do little things and he just thought he had OCD... But now he realized that he could really have Tourettes..

ANYWAYS... he has to children that seem normal, but we were wondering if you usually start seeing signs right away, especially if he only has a minor case of it?????????????????//

I just want to know if anyone has experienced this. My father passed away 5 yrs ago and about a year after he passed away I saw his face on our wall at home it wasn't a picture. He looked good though and he looked happy. I heard that it does happen but I want to know if it happen to someone else or am I just crazy.

I am very concerned about my son. He is a very sweet, loving little boy, but when he becomes angry, he will often bite himself on his arm or try to choke himself. He also has difficulties in school, so I suspect the two issues may be related. He has seen a psychotherapist, who felt that my son is highly sensitive with some anxiety issues but not enough to cause concern. At the time I accepted her explanation, but I am growing concerned again because he is eight years old now and still has not learned to control the biting/choking. The other day he bit himself because he was "mad at himself" over something that happened (slipped and fell on the dance floor at a wedding) when he was three years old!

I am very worried as there is a family history of mental illness. I don't believe in using meds on kids unless in the most extreme cases. Surely there is some other way to help him control his anger. Should I try psychotherapy again?

Please, serious responses only, thanks.

My Beloved Granny is dying, she has a matter of days/weeks, probably no more than one week. Since she has been diagnosed with cancer, I cannot sleep well, restless, waking up 3+ times a night, I dream I am jaundiced like she is. I have stayed sick with colds since her diagnosis, my resistance is down. I am constantly worried about her, is she in pain, is she scared? I am exhaused now. She lives 4 hours away from me and I have seen her several times. We are playing a waiting game right now, but I am not handling it well at all. Advice? So I may keep my sanity and physical health. I have a suportive husband and 2 great kids who want to help but all I want to do is sleep, but I have to care for them and work too. Thanks for suggestions.

I have asked my significant other to stop taking the drug E, because it seems that anytime we have an argument he happens to be on E. We will argue over the dumbest things, and his mood will go from one extreme to the other. We will argue, and he is ushering me into the bedroom saying that I need to lay down to be prepared for work in the morning. Forty-five minutes later he fussing and cussing and name calling. It's scary, and it puts me on edge. He usually takes the pill/s and drink alcohol as well.

I'll keep this as short as possible: love my gf dearly and know she loves me but she can't always show it. asked her about it, we talked; occurs to me (w/out her going into detail b/c she just freezes) she has unresolved issues (given to her from what I can tell) that are pretty big. She knows she needs to change: I have seen her attempts; she is so strong and strong willed that she tries to do it by herslef but I now realize she can't do it alone and probably needs pro help. I want to be there for her and I try to be. I seriously know I can't do it for her, just want her to know I am willing to travel this road w/ her to the end. So what do I tell her? Anything? Lead by example? This is extra tough b/c no one I know has any practical experience to advise from. Anybody have ideas/suggestions?

I was on anti-depressants for 3 years but came off of them a few years ago. Lately I've been feeling depressed, irritable, and have anxiety like all the time and have been using alcohol and prescription meds. (Vicodin, Tylenol w/ Codiene) to make me feel good. But I have no health insurance or money to afford therapy or meds. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

It happened last night, very quickly. It was my very first accident. I was so scared, i had no idea of what had happened. I cried and a couldnt stop shaking. Luckily, i was only injured by the seat belt, like when the car jolted, and managed to get away with only a few bruises and sprains on my chest and ribs and neck. Both cars were totalled.

I can't concentrate at work. As a results I am making dumb mistakes and it is embarrassing. I feel my co-workers will not trust me with tasks if this keeps up. It seems that my brain is moving so fast that before I complete one task, I am already thinking of the next task. No matter how busy or slow my workload is. That leaves me to complete a task, but it is not accurately completed. Please help as with each mistake it brings me down more and more. I am smart, but from all these mistakes I look dumb.
