  • Can you still get depressed while on antidepressants?

    Of course. Anti-depressants are only part of the solution when dealing with depression.

Also, making sure your diagnosis is accurate and the medication is the right one for you is also helpful. Douglas Geenens, DO READ MORE

  • Can excessive anger be termed as a psychological disorder?

  • Is my back pain psychological?

    Yes. Pain often has a psychological component. Even when people have spinal abnormalities, pain fluctuates with the level of stress. The goal would be to manage your stress and hopefully your pain will diminish or disappear! READ MORE
