I just recently dyed my hair and I’m afraid of it fading. I don’t want to damage my hair too bad so I was wondering how often you can dye your hair with Manic Panic hair dye.




I’m going to be a senior in college with a major in psychology. I want to be an occupational therapist and I was wondering what steps I need to take in order to fulfill this goal.

For example, how much schooling is required, what prerequisite courses I need to take, what I could do in the mean time…

It’s obviously too late for me to switch majors so the fastest way possible is best!




It aired on Halloween ’08, and on the website it doesn’t say the actual name of the hospital just "Former Psychiatric Hospital: Northern, NJ"




I was diagnosed with social anxiety and I am filling out this health questionnaire for college. One of the questions it asks is if I’ve ever been diagnosed with a panic disorder. Is social anxiety a panic disorder? or just an anxiety disorder?




What causes minor heart palpitations?

I’ve been experiencing pounding and stuttering feelings in my heart for several months, ever since I moved from Canada to Thailand. I believe I’ve noticed them particularly in the evening after I have had coffee, alcohol or a large meal. I saw a doctor who dismissed this and said they were caused by anxiety. It is true that I get anxious when I’m having them and that makes it much worse, but I’ve never been so relaxed as I am here.

I believe it must be some difference in the environment here that is causing them, due to the timing of the onset. The spicy food, the humid weather.. maybe the fact that I’m relaxing and excercising more, and eating less meat. It will be another four months before I can return to Canada for a second opinion, and in the meantime these palpitations are making me very uncomfortable.

Has anyone else experienced heart palpitations as a result of moving to a different climate? What have you done to avoid them?




can chronic anxiety problems contribute to acid reflux?




Can someone suffer from both at the same time?




Cause I’ve been told to do this, but when I do my heart still beats fast. Does it really slow down your heart rate? And if this works so good, how come the first time I ever got a panic attack and called the ambulance they didnt do this? they should carry brown paper bags with them all the time if thats the case lol……




I’m nice to people but lately I have been angry and short-tempered. I have always been shy, it seems like my shyness is causing all of the anger. Maybe I’m afraid to talk to people and then get mad at myself because of it. I don’t know. Does anybody know a solution or have a similar story?




I have a solo coming up that I have to sing for christmas, even though it’s a month away I still get nervous when thinking about it. Any ideas how to get rid of the nerves?







What is Seasonal affective Disorder?




I’m just curious to see what other jobs are out there that are in the psychiatry field.




How do you get rid of a tension headache?

I have this horrible tension headache but there are few meds I can take. I had a reaction to Excedrin tension headache and there are many cold medicines that don’t react well. Unfortunately, I don’t know until my ears swell up and turn numb while my body itches with hives and I have to go the er once again.




Are worship and prayer the same as hypnosis?

Worship and Prayer most often involve shutting one’s eyes, staying still, listening to something repetitive (such as music or chanting) and blocking out the world around you.

Could this actually be hypnosis?
