Medical Weight Loss
A full depressive syndrome frequently is a normal reaction to the death of a loved one (bereavement), with feelings of depression and such associated symptoms as poor appetite, weight loss, and insomnia. However, morbid preoccupation with worthlessness, prolonged and marked functional impairment, and marked psychomotor retardation are uncommon and suggest that the bereavement is complicated by the development of a Major Depression. The duration of "normal" bereavement varies considerably among different cultural groups.

Medical Weight Loss
A full depressive syndrome frequently is a normal reaction to the death of a loved one (bereavement), with feelings of depression and such associated symptoms as poor appetite, weight loss, and insomnia. However, morbid preoccupation with worthlessness, prolonged and marked functional impairment, and marked psychomotor retardation are uncommon and suggest that the bereavement is complicated by the development of a Major Depression. The duration of "normal" bereavement varies considerably among different cultural groups.
Sleep Disorders
Instead, the alteration continues, producing depressive symptoms and through those symptoms, enormous new stresses on the person: unhappiness, sleep disorders, lack of concentration, difficulty in doing one's job, inability to care for one's physical and emotional needs, strain on existing relationships with friends and family. These new stresses may be sufficient to act as triggers for continuing brain chemistry alteration, or they may simply prevent the resolution of the difficulties which may have triggered the initial alteration, or both.
Emergency Care
It is necessary for the Clinical Coordinator to obtain an intake from the patient in order to gauge the acuity of the psychiatric problem. The acuity of the psychiatric problem determines whether the patient can be seen in the future at the office or if the patient will require immediate psychiatric assistance (i.e. the emergency room or direct admission to the psychiatric hospital).
Constipation
Infectious Diseases
Some types of depression are associated with or believed to be caused by physical or biochemical changes in the brain. A shortage of certain brain chemicals or changes in brain receptors may be responsible for depression in some individuals. Because depression tends to run in families, some people may even have a genetic tendency to develop it. Depression may occur as a reaction—probably biochemical—to such infectious diseases as hepatitis, mononucleosis, and tuberculosis. In addition, a number of drugs, particularly central nervous system depressants (“downers”) such as alcohol and barbiturates, may cause feelings of depression.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Electrocardiogram
The physician must fully explain the benefits and dangers of ECT, and the patient give consent, before ECT can be administered. The patient should be encouraged to ask questions about the procedure and should be told that consent for treatments can be withdrawn at any time, and in the event that this happens, the treatments will be stopped. After giving consent, the patient undergoes a complete physical examination, including a chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, and blood and urine tests. A series of ECT usually consists of six to twelve treatments. Treatments can be administered to either in-patients or out-patients. Nothing should be taken by mouth for 8-hours prior to a treatment. An intravenous drip is started and through it medications to induce sleep, relax the muscles of the body, and reduce saliva are given. Once these medications are fully effective, an electrical stimulus is administered through electrodes to the head. The electrical stimulus produces brain wave (EEG) changes that are characteristic of a grand mal seizure. It is believed that this seizure activity leads to the clinical improvement seen after a series of ECT. About 30-minutes after the treatment the patient awakens from sleep. While confused at first, the patient is soon oriented enough to eat breakfast, and return home if the treatments are being done in an outpatient setting.

Mental Health
Most people are aware that a healthy diet is an essential aspect in reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other common physical problems. Recent scientific evidence also suggests that a good diet may be just as important for our mental health and that a number of conditions, including depression, may be influenced by dietary factors.
Psychiatry
Many people are unsure of the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a physician who has completed medical school and has specialized residency training in psychiatry. Because they are medical doctors, psychiatrists can prescribe medications.
