This is my currrent thesis but my professor will not approve it because it does not sound like I am taking a stand.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate studies on whether dark chocolate has favorable effects on cardiovascular function.

I'm not trying to be inflammatory and am in no way condoning it. I think it's wrong and disgusting but I'm asking why people are paedophiles because I don't understand it at all. Is it mental illness? Is it in the genes? Or do people choose it? Serious answers only please.

I feel i am being bullied at work, I cannot do much as I have no proof as it is done in a subtle way. I am now signed off work with stress related depresion. There have been several others forced to quit their job as a result of same treatment but I have lost touch with them now. How can I stop this person doing this to me and others, I have been and talked to management and still nothing is being done they are prepared to turn a blind eye to this.

A web friend of mine in England has Multipal Personality Dissorder, but has had numerious bad experiences with face-to-face therapists, and after the last abandonment is unwilling to see any more therapists. Her system knows that this is not a good development, and has asked me if I know of any on-line therapists who deal with this dissorder. Anyone here have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction for finding one ??

I have been feeling very depressed lately,especially since the man i loved has given me the cold shoulder. I was about to give up everything for him and then he's just completely changed and wont communicate with me anymore. He's on my mind all the time,but he obviously doesnt give me a second thought because i havent received so much as a call or txt from him in a month(i see him around work). I wake up feeling anxious,go through the day feeling depressed and go to bed hoping i wont wake up in the morning. It's not just him,i'm unhappy in my life and anxiety prevents me from moving forward,i have no friends,a dead end job,i miss my dad who died recently and i want to be with him,i dont want to take tablets because they have ruined my moms life already,what should i do?

I've never really told anyone about this, but I think it's kinda strange. And I can't seem to stop, it's a compulsive behavior for me. I pluck hairs. Any hairs. Hairs from my head, eyelashes, eyebrows, nose hairs, even pubic hairs, and the little hairs that grow from my knees. Weirdest thing is, a lot of the time, after I pluck a hair, I'll put the little round tip that was embedded in the skin between my lips to feel the weird wetness it has when it's freshly plucked. Or pubic hairs, when the first grow, have you ever noticed they have a white tip on the end (not the follicle, but the other end) that grows to be quite sharp. Anyway I've done this as long as I can remember, I wound up with bald patches on my eyelashes once when I was a kid, so I tried to break the habit. I wound up stopping for a while, it grew back, and I kept it up. Be brutal. Just how weird is this? Should I be worried about my mental health? Otherwise I'm fine.

What if someone is severely depressed and has tried everything out there and nothing works? What do you recommend they do? It seems like there's a ton of people who are very anti mental drugs. My depression was so bad I couldn't function. I tried counseling, exercise, diet changes, vitamins, supplements... EVERYTHING. So to all you know it alls.. what shall I do now?

I've been in therapy and on meds for depression, anxiety, anorexia for about three 1/2 years now. I've been working really hard, but I'm still suicidal sometimes. :( Can any of you tell me how you got through suicidal days? Does it really get better?

I started Wellbutrin SR 6 days ago at 150 mg. The past two days I've had a general feeling of creepiness and paranoia. Is that normal??? It's starting to drive me nuts. Will it go away?

I have noticed that on TV men have been reported or seen abusing animals or children..WOMEN. If you add all the cases of women abusing you would have to probably count young girls too. I just don't get it maybe it is the testosterone or something with adrenaline... PLZ give me your opinions or something else that will conclude this or just argue with me I just want to raise awarness!!

Um, I am like, mentally stable, don't worry.........but I am sooooooooo scared of people. Like, when I see people I don't know.I like hide, or totally try and ignore them. they just SCARE me. Just regular people. But when ever I am on the phone, or on IM or something, I am not scared at all. Its weird. Like today...in school..we moved seats.
I formerly sat next to my best friend, and now I sat down in a little group with stangers..it was too much for me I guess......I just burst into tears and ran to the nurses office. I was really embarrasing to come back the next, day ESPECIALLY sitting next to the people. I just kept quiet and didn't do anything. On halloween, I am so scared of the people coming and trick or treating that I go to my room, and shut the door, and read a book, too. I am just really embarassed to do this! Is there anyone who can give me suggeastions on what to do, and what this could be?

I've been talking Wellbutrin for a while but it's not working. I see my doc next week and am going to ask for a change.

Can anyone tell me which anti-depressants come in generic form? Generics cost a couple dollars and name brands cost a fortune.

Thanks for any help

I do dream quite a bit & sometimes what i dream about comes to reality. Its just sometimes a few days later ill remeber something & not sure if it really happened or was it a dream (seldomly though)

Lately I have just been getting alot of dreams of people either dying or been in hospital & alot of bad dreams. Is this normal??

Or is there something just wrong with me?

I am thinking about taking an anti-depressant for anxiety and depression. I have tried Prozac and Zoloft several years back and the side effects did not sit well with me, which has deterred me from trying any again.
My question is, are there any mild anti-depressants out there that have very minimal side effects that I can try first? What are the names and how effective have they been?

I have OCD and am terrified of germs especially my kids getting them. I get anxiety attacks and am very stressed when I find out a kid in school was sick or a neighbor thinking that my kids will get it. I cannot stand throw up and my therapist says I am afraid that it will not be just a cold but somthing worse even fatal because I saw on the news about a child dying of meningitis. So therefore I want him home with me to home school but my husband won't let me. I am going crazy. I miss him and would feel better if he was with me. Plus he does not like going to school either. How do I calm down with this and live?
