You might be surprised just how common this condition is. An estimated one in four doctor’s appointments are the result of health/illness anxiety/phobiaPeople who have illness/health phobia are looking constantly for reassurance from their doctor or the accident and emergency staff at the local hospital and they tend to bombard personal friends and family with references as to how awful they are feeling.

Is This New Technology the Future of Mental Health?
Over the past several decades, there has been a great deal of research on the subject of magnetic fields and how such fields can influence biology.

Facts on Health and Weight and Why They Aren’t Always Related
We live in a society that is obsessed with shape and weight. Everywhere you look there are advertisements about weight loss, new diet trends, and wellness practices (which I would argue 90% of the time, are just some kind of diet). It’s hard to not let yourself get wrapped up in this rhetoric, but it’s important to know some facts when deciding what of this unavoidable, ever abundant information will actually change your feelings about your body, your diet (aka what you eat, not the newest fad), and your behavior. Here are some not-so-frequently-discussed principles that may help you have a more healthy relationship with food and your body.

5 Tips If Your Mental Illness Is Interfering With College
For many, going to university represents the culmination of several years of hard work and commitment. An adolescence dedicated to learning and cultivating knowledge, just to be deemed valuable enough to earn a place on your dream course. Self-worth somehow becomes inexplicably tied to academic achievement and the opinion of a faceless institution that you are intelligent enough to be allowed a place in their prestigious halls.

“I am No Longer the Person Everyone Expects Me to Be.”
I’m the mother of three kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are currently struggling to stay focused on schoolwork while cooped up inside. I’m also a children’s book author with a new title releasing right now that needs hoopla and promotions of all sorts. I’m a graduate psychology professor with 15 papers to grade. And I’m a psychotherapist who is professionally poised to help others manage their difficult emotions during these confusing times. Today, I’m also a blogger for this very website, asked to conjure some inspiration during this pandemic. And finally, I’m the wife of a very stressed working-at-home husband who needs me to handle the home front.

Making the Most Out of Virtual Mental Health Appointments
A couple of weeks ago, my usual evening anxiety — tight chest, unsettled stomach and dread that followed almost everything I did — started leaking into the rest of the day. I mostly lay down. Ate leftover pork, then lay down. Edited six pages, lay down. I tried to sleep. But sharp, gasping panic squeezed my eyes and fists shut.

Dealing with Death Anxiety
Death, of course, comes to each of us, and there are literally a thousand ways to die. Indeed, one eventually must die of something, be it old age, accident, war, or disease. This is an inexorable existential fact of life. Death has always, in all cultures, been a mysterium tremendum, an immense mystery. What happens after death--if anything beyond decay, decomposition and gradual disintegration--is still pure speculation. And, psychologically, such speculation, whether that of science, philosophy or religion, serves one primary purpose: the demystification of death in an endeavor to mediate or eliminate our existential anxiety about it.

The Motivational Matrix
It’s not a new idea, the urgency matrix you see at the left, but it works. It can prioritize your ADHD life.

I’d begin my day by focusing on the “urgent and important” tasks.

A recent report from Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit manager, found the number of prescriptions filled per week for antidepressant, anti-anxiety and anti-insomnia medications increased 21% between February 16 and March 15.
