  • Supplements for IBS
    Treatment for IBS is confined mainly to dealing with the individual symptoms. Some people who have milder symptoms may find that a few modifications to their diet and some lifestyle changes are enough for them to cope with their IBS on daily basis. For others, the symptoms are more severe where possibly the only relief is in medication of some kind or other.
  • IBS and the role of serotonin
    Some types of anti-depressants when prescribed at a low dose have been found to offer relief to some people with IBS even when depression is not a feature. Although the exact mechanisms involved are not completely understood, it is believed that altering serotonin levels can have a positive effect on the digestive system. Before we look at why, we should clarify what IBS actually is.
  • The link between IBS and allergies
    Despite the fact that IBS is the most common gastro-intestinal disorder seen by gastroenterologists today, very little is actually known about what causes it. Recently, however, researchers at Rush university in Chicago discovered that a significant number of people with allergic or atopic conditions such as rhinitis, asthma and eczema also have symptoms of IBS and found a clear link between IBS and allergies.
  • Diagnosing IBS - New Guidelines
    NICE otherwise known as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, have recently released new guidelines in relation to the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the treatment options for IBS.
  • Fish Oil and Bipolar
    With the ups and downs that are associated with bipolar disorder (sometimes referenced as manic depressive disorder in more recent times), it's understandable that the patient might want to find a medication that can help to keep things more level.
  • Alzheimer's Disease The Early Warning Signs
    Alzheimer's disease has been hitting the headlines quite a bit recently, partly due to the fact that well known and best selling author Terry Pratchett OBE has a form of the disease and partly because recent research has highlighted that the number of people developing Alzheimer's disease is on the increase.
  • Stay Cool In the Heat Of The Summer
    he danger with too much heat should never be underestimated. Heat can kill in a remarkably short space of time and with relatively little warning and yet just by taking a few simple precautions like getting plenty of fluids, staying out of the midday sun and investing in an electric fan to keep you cool, you can avoid a catastrophe.
  • Sleeping Problems and Mental Health
    People who are suffering from depression or anxiety often have trouble sleeping. Indeed, one of the first signs of depression is insomnia, although lack of sleep by itself is not thought to cause depression.
  • What Is Psychotherapy?
    Psychotherapy involves undergoing regular meetings or sessions with a psychotherapist who is trained to listen to you in a non-judgemental empathetic way and who can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings in order to reach an understanding of what the problems are and how they can be dealt with in a more constructive and positive way.
  • The problem with Prozac
    Recent news reports have highlighted a major problem with Prozac, basically that it doesn't actually work. Incredible isn't it? It all stemmed from a major study by Hull University into the available data on drugs obtained under the Freedom of Information Rules
  • Warning signs of Anxiety and Depression
    Research shows that around one in four people are suffering from mental illness, which means that at any point in time, a quarter of the population have some kind of mental health problem which can range from mild depression and anxiety right through to serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and other forms of dementia.
  • Mental Health and Work
    A department of work and pensions review in September 2006 found that being in work is good for mental health and that those who had mental health problems and were unemployed had higher suicide rates.
  • Personality Disorders
    There is some disagreement about how to recognise personality disorders, but basically, one could be defined as having a personality disorder when their basic character traits cause severe problems
  • Happiness, Depression and Middle Age
    Are we more likely to become depressed and unhappy when we hit middle age? Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. First of all, we would have to define middle age and take into account all sorts of influential factors before reaching a conclusion.
  • Mental Health Stigma
    Despite the increase in publicity surrounding mental health and mental health issues, there is still a lack of understanding about mental health in general.
