As many of you may know...in every medical condition studied (heart disease, diabetes, menopause,stroke) patients do WORSE in the face of comorbid depression. To put it simply...untreated depression is bad for you. It is hard,however, to get some of my patients to accept treatment be it therapy and/or medications...why is that?

This book is great, I take it everywhere I go. I am actually going to start working with the local hospital to get this book handed out to the parents when they get their SIDS packet, I want to donate them to the hospital in memory of Arihanna Jania Tate.

Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.

    This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...
