2020 - The beginning of change
The Paris Climate treaty was developed in the early 2000s through the United Nation, and a bill signed in 2015. Set to start in 2020 and China had 10 years after to stop polluting. Always wondered why before! This bill has not so much to do with polluting yet it's a bill of a socialistic agenda...
Sudden fear of driving. What should I do?
I know as we get older we have a tendency to have fear more present in various areas and things. You can tell yourself that you are basically in control and as long as you focus all the time then you should get use to it again. Stay away from populated areas or times and try to stay away from heights or bridges. Just know that you are in control. But don’t stop driving. Take it slow it keep up to the speed limit because by not abiding street signs then that could cause accidents, etc. READ MORE
My mother seems to be obsessed with her health. Is this abnormal
Not really! As we get old, we start to think about death, etc. Plus, television and magazines can make us think about certain things. But, if she is or becomes obsessed as of going to the doctors all the time, etc., then that can be a problem. If she is eating very healthy and things like that, then she is fine. READ MORE

Is there any medication to help my husband quit alcohol?
Yes, there is. The side effect makes one sick. Some are less, etc. Naltrexone, Disulfram, Acamprosate are the 3 main ones, but there are a few more I believe. A medical doctor can prescribe that. READ MORE
Is my husband's mental health responsible for his increased sexual drive?
Can possibly be that or the medications he takes. Yet most likely it is his condition which normally might be the opposite but needing attention is a sign of sexual desires. No matter what, you should not have to go through this. He is still old enough to understand and know. He needs to know what can happen if he continues. Meaning a separation. READ MORE
My son is having night terrors after a heart procedure he had. How can I help?
He has a little of PTSD right now and he really needs a therapist. Try taking him to see one. Doesn't have to be a psychologist. Find one that treats PTSD and trauma patients. READ MORE
How can I get over my fears of height?
You have vertigo which happens as we get older and can happen as we are still young. It is situated in the balance section of the brain. Sometimes individuals have issues inside their ears and a medical doctor can help that. There are also exercises for balance which is an issue with vertigo. Google it and find the exercises if that is the issue! Many learn to live with it because the exercises don't work as much as we might wish. Remember, medications are good but the side effects can be horrible to live with. Your choice READ MORE
My daughter has suddenly lost her appetite. Could it be a hormonal issue?
It can be as well as a social aspect many go through around that age. Just try getting healthy foods into her. Not fattening foods. READ MORE
Can a diet help treat my child with ADHD?
Not really! Depending on how bad certain foods can affect her for sure. Those with adhd can have a reverse reaction to foods. So caffeine can make them tired. Just always try to get healthy foods in them. READ MORE
My mother has chronic kidney disease and is always depressed. What should I do?
Be with her and take her to places and to lunch, dinner and breakfast if she will go out. If not just spend time with her. She can take antidepressants which will help her and she will feel better in all ways. A NP or even a Medical Doctor can help her. READ MORE

Does my mother need help to get over my father's death?
She might just need a life coaching or spiritual advisor to help her know that her husband never died but just transitioned. He is with her and she needs to know these things. If you believe in psychic/mediums and know of a good one, bring her to them for a private session. READ MORE
Why am I so scared of the dark?
Try a night light over a television. Even two nightlights and then just one. You need to realize that you are in control of the dark and no one else can really get you. Your mind has to be relaxed and at ease and watch the television until you start dozing off and on and shut it off and just keep a nightlight on. READ MORE
Will I have to be on anti-depressants throughout my life once I start them?
Not really. If you have a diagnosis of anxiety, etc., you're good, but if you have depression, it gets a little tougher and bipolar a bit more, but schizophrenia you might be on for good. Medical doctors tend to keep one on the meds, but you can tell your doctor that you want to slowly stop or less and less. There are even herbs that can help once you’re off. READ MORE
Difference in treatment between a psychiatrist and psychologist?
A psychiatrist can give medication because they are medical doctors, a psychologist is not a medical doctor but a doctor of psychology and can only offer therapy. If you have depression, then you might need antidepressants more than anything right now plus therapy. A nurse practitioner can also give medication and provide therapy. A psychologist is the best for any therapy, but because they cannot give out medication, that changes everything in a country that over medicates clients. READ MORE
What could cause a constant state of somnolence?
Well, it’s always hard to answer certain questions right away without seeing in person and talking with someone, but depression can easily make one tired all the time and we can be depressed without even knowing it, so I would have to say it can be depression. READ MORE
