t know what exactly causes them, I believe in the biopsychosocial model to describe most of human behaviour--combo of biological, psychological and social factors... But vitamin and mineral deficiencies definitely contribute to mental problems and there is a lot of evidence suggesting that poor nutrition is a culprit to many mental illnesses. I'm glad you are telling people about Hoffer's research!
His early work led to the use of niacin for schizophrenia and as an cholesterol treatment. Dr. Hoffer died in 2009 at the age of 91, but he successfully treated many thousands of patients with high dose niacin for psychotic disorders.
He presented some very compelling evidence to support treating most psychotic disorders as a vitamin B3 deficiency.
I am currently due with my second child in April. I sometimes feel as if my mental health takes over and affects my daughter as well. I have been working with different coping skills and learning the warning signs of how I feel right before I go into a cycle. I can honestly say therapy has helped a lot with this. The day I found out I was pregnant I quit taking all my meds (my choice, did not talk to my psychiatrist about it) and I have been doing awesome!
It was full of abuse (mental, physical and emotional). As a child and a teenager no one would ever know because I was outgoing, happy (when I was with my friends and not my father), got decent grades and always behaved myself. I never got into trouble in school or elsewhere. I knew how and when to wear the mask. The only person who knew anything about what was going on, besides my mom and siblings, was my best friend.
also in a group or so with friends sometimes i am not able to interpret what they are saying and left part and back part starts paining as if somebody is compressing my nerves.due to this problem i am not able to perform well in the studies also.my family members think that i am making excuses of not to study but its not like that.how can i explain to it to my family members.i had a homeopathic consultant previously .when i took the medicine coarse for 15 days pain was reduced to a small extent.
Do not enable his behavior or you will have responsibility for what happens to him. And do not let him into your house even for a visit. If he is so drugged up and has mental problems, your safety is in jeopardy.
Really sorry to sound so harsh. But you have a real problem on your hands. You are doing the right things. Hope that you will continue.
My husband was hit in the head while at work and they thought nothing of it gave him some stitches and sent him back to work. Three months later we discovered he had developed petite maul seizures and will have them for the rest of his life. Please go get checked. You may be able to control it with medications or therapies. Best of luck to you.
My mother has very similar symtoms but hers sound worse than yours. She cant quit dwelling on things and then will get angy and border on violence. Your way ahead of the game by admitting that you know its not normal to feel this way. I would look up symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It sounds worse than it is. Its basically the inability to control emotions. Always reading into things that aren't really there and then letting your mind run away with you.
No with meds and treatment and once doctor gives you a clean bill of health i see no reason one can't issues there dream. See people on a whole just have a wrong perception or should i say place 'stigma' where mental health is involved and to know as i do its just a illness that can be treated just as a disease. But it depends on you if your will to fight this and press forward with your dream if so as becoming a cop. keep strong...
A doctor should always be your primary source of information. And a doctor that knows you and oversees your health. So, make sure you run everything by your doctor and come up with a mutually agreed upon plan. Niacin HAS been used to lower triglycerides and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. Improving these two aid in overall improvement in total cholesterol numbers. But niacin can have real draw backs too. You MUST talk to your doctor before starting a niacin supplement in my opinion.
