Nine Physical Symptoms of Depression to Watch For

Depression isn’t all “in the head.” There are a number of disturbing and quite physical symptoms – very depressing in their own right – that can be markers for the condition, especially if several of them occur together. They include:

Digestive problems. A person might experience a range of varied difficulties, from nausea to diarrhea to chronic constipation.

Botox May Be The Answer for Preventing Migraines

The value of Botox in treating and preventing chronic migraines in adults has been confirmed by four separate studies in the U.S., Canada and Europe. These studies have discovered that treatment with botulinum toxin type A was associated with significantly fewer headache days, less headache-related disability, and significantly improved quality of life. The results are being presented at the 14th International Headache Congress hosted by the American Headache Society.

Biofeedback Allows Patients to Control Their Symptoms

Having cold hands or feet are an annoyance that many of us deal with when we're exposed to cold temperatures or stress. But for individuals with Raynaud's Disease, the constriction of blood vessels is more severe, leading to coldness, numbness, color change, throbbing and swelling of extremities including fingers and toes. Research by members of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback has found biofeedback to be especially effective in the treatment of this disease.

Going to Work Sick Linked to Long-Term Leave

Habitually working while sick, an increasingly common practice, can land a person in a situation in which his risk of having to take long-term sick leave is markedly increased, according to a recent study. The researchers, who published their work in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, enrolled nearly 12,000 Danes in their investigation. The men and women, who had been unbrokenly employed for at least a year, filled out questionnaires revealing their attitudes toward work, their willingness to take time off for illness, and their general health.

Mental Disorders Associated With Migraines

Migraine sufferers seem to have an increased tendency to experience mood and anxiety disorders, according to a recent study - though it's not clear whether one causes the other or if both are caused by some unknown third factor.

"An expanding body of literature has shown that migraine headaches are associated with higher rates of mental disorders," said Jitender Sareen of the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, and his colleagues in their study, published in General Hospital Psychiatry. But past studies, they said, have suffered from a number of weaknesses. ( Read more about Mental Disorders Associated With Migraines)

Neuromuscular Dentists Treat Jaw Disorder

The jaw misalignment that causes temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) subjects people for years to jaw pain, migraine headaches and difficulty with speaking, smiling and eating. And doctors may have enormous trouble diagnosing what's really going on.

The condition is suffered by between 5 and 15 percent of Americans, which is as many as 45 million people, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the federal National Institutes of Health. ( Read more about Neuromuscular Dentists Treat Jaw Disorder)

Brain Scan Reveals Bullies' Pleasure Pattern

In two unexpected findings of a recent brain-scan study, bullies appear to gain pleasure from fighting, lying and destroying property - and they seem to lack the ability to control their violent and thrill-seeking emotions.

In the study, which appeared in the journal Biological Psychology, the researchers examined the brain activity of eight 16- to 18-year-old boys with histories of lying, stealing, committing vandalism, and bullying - a clinical condition known as aggressive conduct disorder. Their brain scans were compared with those of a second group of boys without the disorder. ( Read more about Brain Scan Reveals Bullies' Pleasure Pattern)

Yet More Natural Cures for Workaday Woes

Like Narcissus in the Roman legend, modern Western humanity, critics say, has become so infatuated with our own technological and pharmaceutical prowess that we've lost sight of the host of simple and natural things that could handle many of today's problems effectively. Lest we become like Narcissus, who became so enamored of his own handsomeness reflected in a pool of water that he stayed there without eating or drinking until he died, the critics continue, let's not neglect valuable homespun remedies from generations past that are still endorsed by many modern medical experts. Here are some of them:

Natural Cures for Workaday Woes

Having a medical problem doesn't always involve getting cancer or having a heart attack. In fact, it's usually something simple and uncomplicated, like indigestion or a slight fever. And many are the people nowadays who cringe at the thought of dealing with minor medical problems by taking synthetic chemicals from the drugstore that more often than not have uncomfortable side effects. For those people, here are a few natural cures that are safe, effective, inexpensive and recommended by experts.

The Healing Influence of Religiousness

Study after study over the years has shown that practicing one's religion - with all of the persistence and sincerity that demands - inevitably leads to improved health and ability to recover from illness. For example, a 1987-95 research investigation of 21,000 Americans found that those who attended worship services more than once a week experienced a seven-year greater life span than their counterparts who never attended such services. Epidemiologist Jeff Levin, who wrote the book God, Faith and Health, conducted studies showing that older adults who thought of themselves as religious had better overall health than the faith-less.
