  • My wife is a shopaholic. Is it a behavior or a medical problem?

    It could be both depending on the root of your wife's reasons for shopping. If she has become "addicted" to shopping, so that she continues to do it regardless of consequences such as loss of job, loss of home, loss of relationships, etc., then she may need medical attention. Also, her impulsive shopping is a symptom of bipolar disorder (commonly known as manic-depressive disorder), then the shopping may be a sign of her being manic. In most cases, however, "out of control" shopping is a behavioral issue that can be addressed with an expert. Go on-line and see if there are support groups in your area for this type of behavior, or if there are therapists who specialize in it. Either way, it looks like her shopping has become a problem in your relationship, so you two should talk about it openly and get help.

  • I do not feel like I am properly loving my child. Is it post natal depression?

    Post-partum depression is a real phenomenon and it can become severe. I recommend in general that you trust your own instincts when you have a baby and not compare yourself to other mothers. The fact that you are feeling down is more concerning. The best thing to do is to talk to your OB/Gyn or make an appointment with a psychiatrist to be evaluated for depression. If you do have post-partum depression, remember that it’s easy to treat and treatment can be very beneficial to both yourself and your new baby. READ MORE

  • I discovered anti-depressant pills in my daughter's cupboard yesterday. How should I confront her on this?

    Your daughter is an adult, which means she has the right to privacy of her health information, and she can see any doctor and get any prescription without talking to you about it. Antidepressants are commonly used for treatment of depression and anxiety. They are relatively safe. If you are concerned about your daughter's mental health, I recommend that you talk to her about your concerns without bringing up the medications. You can ask her how she's been feeling lately, or perhaps you can point out changes you've noticed in her behavior. Ask open ended questions about her general well being instead of confronting her with the fact that you found the pills. If you still don't get any answers out of her, then you may decide to tell her what you found, or you may let the whole thing go. It's up to you. I know you are curious, however, consider what outcome you are looking for. If it's just to satisfy your curiosity, let it go. If it's more serious and you're worried about your daughter's health and safety, and you think you can help, then do open up the conversation with her.

  • What is the best way to handle a loved one with an alcohol problem?

    Alcohol Use Disorder is an illness that affects the brain and needs immediate treatment. Unfortunately, most people who suffer from the illness are not willing to seek treatment for it. This puts a lot of strain on their loved ones, and can ultimately destroy entire families. The best way to approach a loved one with alcoholism is to set very strict limits with them, and to enforce the limits (and the consequences of breaking them) consistently. In order to learn how to set and enforce limits, you can either go to free support groups such as Al-Anon https://al-anon.org/ or CoDA http://coda.org/. If you don't like these support groups, then the other option would be to find a good therapist with experience in addiction and alcoholism, and seek their help.
