VEGAL NERVE STIMULATION EFFECTIVE FOR SEVERE DEPRESSION

Cyberonics, manufacturer of the Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
system will soon be asking the FDA to approve VNS for treatment

COUNTERFEIT DRUGS - SUCKERED ON THE NET

P. T. Barnum said "there's a sucker born every minute."
Con-man, Michael Carlow, was able to zero in on a lot of
them. He made $40M last year selling counterfeit drugs
like Zyprexa, Ambien and others to people who wanted deals
that seemed too good to be true.

U.S. MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS IN DISARRAY

Hardly a day goes by now where you don't read about some
financially strapped community cutting back on mental health
programs, either paring them down to the bare bones or
eliminating them altogether. This comes at a time when mental
illness rates are rising and more and more can't afford to
pay for treatment.

A presidential commission concluded last week that mental illness
affects nearly every American family, but our system of dealing
with it is seriously flawed. You'd think that would be big news,
but the White House didn't even issue a press release. What's going
on?

HELPING A CHILD WITH AN EATING DISORDER WHEN SHE/HE REFUSES IT

Teenagers, for the most part, don't want their parents' help.
Ask any parent and they'll tell you many teens think they can
do everything on their own.

Well, for teens with eating disorders it goes further. Many
won't even acknowledge they have a problem even when it's obvious
to others.

So what's a parent to do?

THE ADD/HD BLAME GAME

It's the parents' fault, says behavioral expert Warwick Dyer
when asked the cause of attention deficit behavioral problems
in most children.

Dyer isn't saying that ADD/HD doesn't exist. He maintains
parents take the easy way out and turn to pharmaceuticals
instead of doing their job as parents.

Dyer claims his program for dealing with behavior-problem
children has a 100% success rate over 5-years. See what
you think.
