See book keywords and concepts |  The simple fact is that people who consult doctors for medical problems have higher rates of depression and other psychiatric problems than people who go it alone. This probably has to do with the fact that people who seek health care tend to be sicker than those who do not.
My colleague Karen Raphael has been studying the relationship between depression and FM by randomly telephoning households where women are present. If a woman Karen calls indicates that she has pain, and that her pain fits the definition of "widespread," Karen asks her to come to our medical school for an evaluation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This is manifest on all sides by articles in magazines, in the newspapers, frequent references to psychiatry and psychiatric problems on the radio and in the movies."48 Demand for psychiatric treatment grew tremendously. For the first time, the image of the mysterious but all-knowing analyst became a stock-in-trade of cartoonists.49 There was much eloquent writing by analysts and their followers about the transformative possibilities of therapy. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But looking at the other side of this coin, some women with CFS simply don't get the added burden of serious psychiatric problems. The reason not everyone with chronic illness gets depressed relates to specifics about the patient's personality. Women who are optimistic and have no family history of depression tend not to experience long periods filled with sadness, tears, and negative thoughts. Yes, chronic illness is demoralizing, and many of my patients—even though not clinically depressed— have bad days when they feel down in the dumps. |

A sexual questionnaire was administered and nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity testing was performed before treatment and after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment. Four parameters of base and tip tumescence and rigidity were measured at baseline and after taking 5.4 mg and 10.8 mg Yohimbine hydrochloride. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When patients with these disorders experience fatigue, it is usually thought to relate to their psychiatric problems.
CFS-like illness is fairly common, occurring in over 4 percent of the population. But after excluding medical and psychiatric causes of severe fatigue in people who may or may not have gone to the doctor for their problems, the resulting numbers with clear CFS get quite small—5 of every 1,000 women and 3 of every 1,000 men. CFS is not a common ailment. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But this is also true of the general population: while people with mental illness and substance abuse problems are five times more likely to become violent than the general population, people with substance abuse problems and no psychiatric problems are three times more likely to be violent.47
The primary risk, of course, for the mentally ill is suicide. The rates of suicide for people with severe mental illness are astonishing. About 1 in 10 people with schizophrenia kill themselves. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It was also shown to lead to behavioral and psychiatric problems triggered by aspartame-caused depletion of serotonin.
Aspartame consumption can cause headache, memory loss, obesity; testicular, mammary and brain tumors; seizures, vision loss, coma and cancer. It worsens or mimics the symptoms of such diseases and conditions as Fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue and depression.
The effects of aspartame are documented by the FDA's own data. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It is simply one of the best treatments we have for most psychiatric problems.
I've witnessed this among my patients and my friends, a number of whom have given me permission to tell their stories here. Yet it was far beyond the walls of my office that I discovered the exemplar case study, in a suburban school district outside Chicago. The implications of the most exciting new research merge in this tale of a revolutionary physical education program. In Naperville, Illinois, gym class has transformed the student body of nineteen thousand into perhaps the fittest in the nation. |

Eric R. Braverman
See book keywords and concepts |  Pfeiffer was a pioneer in his conviction that most psychiatric problems were caused not by emotional factors such as early childhood experiences but by brain chemicals. He proved that toxic metals could drastically affect the brain's chemistry, causing both mental and physical illness. I was so intrigued by Dr. Pfeiffer's research that I offered to join his team as his research assistant. Within a few weeks I knew that I would dedicate my life to exploring the role of brain chemistry in healing. I continued this work at Brandeis University and Harvard Medical School. | | If these don't work, nutrients can help, and unlike most drugs, they do not result in exacerbation of daytime psychiatric problems, like depression. The nutrient tryptophan at dinner and bedtime is effective in starting sleep and, in some cases, keeping a person asleep. Niacin and niacinamide prolong the tryptophan effect. Melatonin and GABA also can contribute to quality sleep. Vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, and other B vitamins also increase dream recall and promote satisfying sleep. Inositol and vitamin C can be helpful too. |

Processed Protein
For many decades, protein has been looked upon as something we should all have in ample quantities. Like motherhood, little bad could be said against protein. But the term should be applied only to protein-rich foods, not to the pure protein extracted from food and then used to make artificial products or artifacts. | | Fasting, with or without enemas, has been used for many decades to treat a variety of diseases, ranging from cancer and arthritis to serious psychiatric problems. Perhaps the common factor is the elimination or marked reduction of Candida or yeast infection from the gastrointestinal tract. A 4-day fast (96 hour) would eliminate yeast from most people. But for a person with a fast transit time, 1 or 2 days might be enough. A water diet would be more therapeutic than a juice diet, because the sugar in the juice would provide nourishment for the yeast. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Jean Valnet, a French physician and a scientist, built upon the knowledge of Gattefoss by using essential oils as part of his medical practice to treat physical and psychiatric problems. Valnet later published a guide to the use of essential oils called Aromatherapie. One of his converts, Madame Marguerite Maury, established the first aromatherapy clinics in Paris, England, and Switzerland. There, she used essential oils in beauty therapies that were personalized for each subject. Her aromatherapy sought to rejuvenate clients with scents directed at their personalities and health problems. |
Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, writing in the August 15, 2000 edition of USA Today, child psychiatrist Peter Jensen [1] advocates the legal enforcement of drug treatment for ADHD and other psychiatric problems diagnosed in school:
So what should society do if a child with a disorder with lifelong consequences is denied treatment? The answer, of course, depends on the severity of the child's condition, what other treatments have been tried and the likelihood that treatments such as Ritalin will restore that child to normal or near-normal functioning. |

See book keywords and concepts |  True, the release of toxins or lack of nourishment during fasting may worsen psychiatric problems; if, however, the patient is strong and congested, fasting may be helpful. The supervision of a health-care provider is important for patients with mental illness.
• People often attempt to remedy obesity by fasting, although it is not the best use of this healing technique. Fasting is actually too temporary an approach for overweight dieters and may even generate feasting reactions in people coming off the fast. |

See book keywords and concepts | | These have made it useful in treating a number of psychiatric problems, including those present in children with learning and behavioral disorders. Dr Allan Cott, Dr Carl Pfeiffer, and Dr Bernard Rimland have pioneered use of pyridoxine for treating children. Dr Cott introduced it in his practice over 25 years ago, and about the same time Dr Rimland found that pyridoxine was more effective for autistic children than was vitamin B-3. |
Katharine Greider
See book keywords and concepts |  Some experts are inclined to see an encouraging movement toward noticing and treating children's psychiatric problems; others see a worrisome tendency to overdiagnose those ills or to choose the expediency of medication over more complex approaches to problematic behavior. Zito herself sees a knowledge vacuum. Where the drugs have been studied in kids, she says, "you're generally only doing a drug-placebo comparison and you're focused on symptom improvement over a relatively short period of time," sixteen weeks perhaps. |
Healing Children's Attention & Behavior DisordersDr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C)
See book keywords and concepts | | With children or young adults it is vital to examine for the presence of the common allergic diseases as a factor in causing their psychiatric problems, for any food allergy can reproduce almost every known psychiatric syndrome from infantile autism and schizophrenia to mood and behavioral disorders. Allergic reactions tend to develop against staple foods such as milk, wheat, and rice. Thus in wheat consuming countries, wheat allergy is much more common than it is in rice consuming countries where rice is a greater problem. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  If you have serious anxiety or insomnia or have been diagnosed with or treated for psychiatric problems, or are taking other psychiatric drugs of any kind, consult your doctor before self-treating with valerian. Because of the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, switching from prescription drugs to valerian should be done under the supervision of a doctor.
Who Should Not Take It?
Valerian is not advised for pregnant or lactating women, children under age two, or in combination with other over-the-counter or prescription tranquilizers or sedatives. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts |  Hirsch has found that a hfe without fragrance seems to lead to a high incidence of psychiatric problems such as anxiety and depression.
And while most depressed, stressed-out people can smell just fine, Dr. Hirsch believes that their emotional states are also affected by the odors they are—or aren't—smelling.
Scientific research supports the notion that smelling particular odors has a direct effect on brain activity. "We know from brain wave frequency studies that smelling lavender increases alpha waves in the back of the head, which are associated with relaxation," says Dr. Hirsch. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Most critical to note is that no known behavioral disturbance nor any evidence of psychiatric problems or mental disorders have preceded the psychotic reactions produced by the use of PCP. These included not only socially marginal individuals, but also those of substantial achievement without any indication of "premorbid psychopathology." In other words, these are the "normal subjects" Sandoz suggested be used as subjects to chemically induce schizophrenia in those who had never before experienced it. |

See book keywords and concepts | | This makes a lot of sense, say experts, when you consider that overt deficiencies of B vitamins may cause serious psychiatric problems like dementia and paranoia. It doesn't happen that you're fine one day and have dementia the next, says Somer. Your mood gradually falls along the way.
"Women in particular tend not to get enough B vitamins like vitamins B6 and Bn, because they don't eat enough foods that are rich in these nutrients, like meat," says Somer. "Folic acid may be our nation's most common vitamin deficiency. |

Since addiction and depression often go hand in hand, if you have a problem with addiction and are seeking answers here, be sure to read "Depression" on page 30 and "Anxiety" on page 31 as well. Also read the sections in this book that cover herbs to treat a liver damaged by alcohol or drugs (page 124), lungs battered by smoke (page 149) and adrenal glands harmed by an excess of caffeine—whether from coffee or colas (page 64). |
Robert W. Hill, Ph.D. and Eduardo Castro, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In cases where the marital discord is affected by the psychiatric problems of one of the parents, the same would be true. Children need a stable environment, predictability, and an element of constancy. Families that have marital discord lose that sense of predictability, at least that sense of comfortable predictability. Often the children are left to parent themselves, and all too frequently, the parents are too busy taking care of themselves to take care of the children.
When the noise and chaos in a family reach a certain level, the child is likely to tune it out. |
Sydney Walker III, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Many of them do not have psychiatric problems but exhibit physical symptoms that may mimic mental conditions, and so they are misdiagnosed, put on drugs, put in institutions, and sent into a limbo from which they may never return. . . . On the other hand, the physical illnesses of psychiatric patients go underdiagnosed or undiagnosed." Famed neurologist Sir Francis Walshe has charged that mental hospitals "are living museums of undiscovered bodily disease . . . undiagnosed but not undiagnosable."
An accurate diagnosis doesn't always mean a cure. |
