End of School Stress
by MPK May 17th, 2011 | Children's Health, Mental Health
For many students, May and June are an exciting time of year. The number of days until school ends and summer begins are counted with great anticipation. Students daydream about days without homework assignments and the hectic pace of the school day. However, before summer begins, teens have responsibilities to handle: year end projects, final exams, summer job hunting. While parents can't (or at least shouldn't) take on these jobs, they can help their teens learn to manage the stress involved with them.

Parkinson’s
by Dean Heller MD May 12th, 2011 | Ask the Doctor
My father has severe Parkinson's, and the medicines that his doctor has him taking are not helping anymore. The medicines just wear off too quickly. Is there anything else that can help?
There has been a treatment that has been used for a number of years called "Deep Brain Stimulation." It can help people that are in your dad's situation, as it improves the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. It is very helpful when medicines fail to improve symptoms for too long a time taking the medicine. It is basically like a pacemaker for the brain.

Okay, I know that sounds crazy to some people. The reality is that most people would choose a slice of bread or a piece of fruit over a stalk of broccoli or head of cabbage. Yet, vegetables are an

by Lori Sciame May 9th, 2011 | Drugs, Medication
When your doctor prescribes a new medication, you need to remember to be your own “best advocate.†By this I mean, take the time to learn about the drug, including its side effects as well as how it interacts with other medicines you are taking. Many consumers do not realize that besides having its own side effects, the new drug may combine in a negative way with other medicines.
Think about it. It is very common today to be on several medications at one time. You may suffer from high blood pressure and depression, but did you
