Is your diet making you depressed? Which foods to grab for a better mood
The role of eating is so vast in the modern lifestyle that the decision of what to eat is more complex than simply satisfying hunger. Your food choices influence your risk of disease, weight management, and athletic performance, as well as significantly impact your mental health. The right food choices can give you more energy, increase productivity, and boost your mood, while the wrong ones can leave you stressed and depressed. Ongoing research is finding that the typical American diet—rich in processed foods, high in sugar and saturated fat, and low in whole, fresh foods—contributes to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and tension. These mental health states are known to diminish energy, contribute to weight gain and raise the risk of disease. And the most recent studies are finding that the effects of these eating habits on mood can impact a broad range of age groups and life stages. A September 2015 study published in the journal of Clinical Endocrinology … [Read more...] about Is your diet making you depressed? Which foods to grab for a better mood
I woke up one day unable to urinate – now I need a ‘bladder pacemaker’ at 30
A 30-year-old woman who woke up one day unable to urinate has told of her battle with a rare condition that 'completely changed' her life. Elle Adams, from east London , woke up in October 2020 and found she was unable to urinate, regardless of how much fluid she drank. The content creator rushed to A&E at St Thomas' Hospital in London, where doctors found she had a litre of urine in her bladder — double the amount it usually holds. Doctors fitted her with an emergency catheter, a flexible plastic tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine, which was her only way of urinating. She was eventually diagnosed with Fowler's syndrome — an inability to pass urine normally — in December 2021. But it was not until January that she had a 'pacemaker for the bladder' fitted, which enables her to wee normally sometimes. However, she still has to rely on a catheter. Elle Adams had a litre of urine in her bladder when she sought help - this is double the amount a women's … [Read more...] about I woke up one day unable to urinate – now I need a ‘bladder pacemaker’ at 30

Depressed? Botox might be the key to happiness
Picture this: your appointment with your therapist is coming to a close and instead of writing you a prescription for an antidepressant, he gives you an injection of Botox and sends you on your way. This, experts say, could be the future of treatment for depression. Currently used off-label for depression, Botox is in phase 2 clinical trials for FDA approval. “Once it becomes FDA-approved, hopefully we will have mental health professionals using it,” said Dr. Eric Finzi, a board-certified dermasurgeon in the Washington, D.C. metro area who pioneered the treatment and trains psychiatrists to use it. In a study released last year, Finzi and Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, an associate professor at the Georgetown School of Psychiatry, found that 52 percent of participants who suffered from moderate to severe depression found relief from Botox injections, compared to 15 percent who received a placebo. Plus, nearly a third of the Botox patients went into remission. … [Read more...] about Depressed? Botox might be the key to happiness
