Other - Health - April 2007

What is the procedure?
If the person has never been treated or seen a professional before, will the person be treated / assessed for treatment or will the hospital just try to pont the person in the right direction?
Will there be any kind of physical exam?
Are there special doctors standing by for mental patients or will the person be seen by a regular doctor?
Will the person be taken seriously if they have not hurt themselves yet, or will they be neglected and turned away?
Is going to the ER too extreme of an action to take?
What advise can you give someone who has difficulty talking about their struggle and explaining what is wrong?
Is it better to go alone or have someone take you (like a significant other)?

I am depressed, I get thoughts of suicide and feel like there is no point in living. It is really affecting my life in every aspect. Does medication help? Will I become dependent on the medicine? Is counseling required to get medicine? I work out of town and it is hard to find time to sit down with a psychiatrist and talk about my problems. Thanks!

Ok ,I have heard some are gaining weight,others don't change weight ,others loose weight..My question is does Lexapro cause gain weight because it makes you so sleepy and tend to eat more? In other words does it make a person lazy to gain the weight or does it give you weight anyway ..My doc just gave me this medicine and I don't want to gain weight nor loose weight ..any info would be of help ..so far the only side affect for me is I feel sick at my stomach for like 10 mins.

If a medical error or accident is made on behalf of the individuals like doctors and nurses, should we try to seek out those that are responsible for it? Why or why not?

For health care professionals only, please. Two months ago, I went to the ER for lower right quadrant pain and diarrhea. Did a CT with contrast to rule out appendicitis. My question is...what does the CT scan show? Does it show if anything is happening in my bowels? They said it only showed two cysts on my right ovary, 2 cm in size each. I've had diarrhea since the scan and have only been able to leave the house maybe 6 times in the last 2 months. ER doc suggested I may have IBS but said he only saw cysts...still sick 2 months later and unable to leave house ...

How come some meds are to be taken with food and some meds need to be taken on an empty stomach, what exactly is the difference and why does it matter? A friend of mine is taking a prescription drug ( I forget the name but it is a steriod) and her Doctor told her to take it with food or right before eating. He said if she can't take it with food not to bother to take it because it won't do her any good. Won't the meds start to digest as soon it enters the stomach whether with food or not, so why does it matter? I'm sure there is a valid reason, just curious what it is.

Is it worse? I ask because my tonsils are gone and have been for a year or two, and my throat hurts really bad, I'm just wondering if when you get them removed it's like a "You won't get sore throats as much but when you get them they're way bad" type thing.

So I don't know if there is something wrong with my eyes but I always see these little things floating around. They don't really look like anything other than when I see one the image is distorted a bit (it's just blurry wherever they are floating around and I can see a very faint outline). And the things have multiple shapes and figures. They float around for about 10 seconds and then they're gone. They usually come out of the bottom of my eyesight and move up and then they fall back down. I don't think it's my eyesight because when I put something in front of my eyes I can't see them anymore but when I bring it back it is there again. I probably see one every 15 minutes or so. Sorry this is such a bad explanation but it's hard to explain.

So does anyone else see these or are my eyes just messed up?

I've had these ticks for (seemingly) my whole life - I honestly can't remember when I didn't. My "current" tick is in my neck, where I kind of extend my muscles out - it distorts my face a bit, though I try to hide it, but it makes me feel much more comfortable until the next few seconds when the next tick appears.

Is there any serious health issue that could be the cause of this? Can this lead to any serious health issue?

Ive tried controlling them myself, but I give up. I need help! I'm a freak!

Please, only serious responses only...

It seems that whenever I'm on deadline at work and everything seems to be going wrong my eye twitches (usually the left one.) Actually, it's the muscle under the eye. What causes this?
