Do binge-drinking brains and schizophrenic brains look similar?
Dec 29th
Question by Answers Addict: Do binge-drinking brains and schizophrenic brains look similar?
If you were to compare the brain of a binge drinker to a normal one, then compare the brain of a schizophrenic to a normal one on a brain scan, would the two ‘abnormal’ brains look very much alike?
Could these possibly be confused for one another?
Best answer:
Answer by Milton
No. The binge drinker’s brain develops dead zones where alcohol literally burned off regions of the brain. A schizophrenic’s brain looks the same as any other but on an EEG, the waves will look different. There is a different brain chemistry which alters perceptions.

I dont think or know that there have been any comparisons specific to alcoholic brains……..there have been some on the ‘brain damaged ‘ brain……..and they note differences.
you may ask your question to dr amen at amenclinics.com
My opinion is that hormones play a part in each , so there may be similarities or commonalities as to the cause of the illnesses

She asked, “how can I look heroin chic?”?
Jan 1st
Question by Deplorable: She asked, “how can I look heroin chic?”?
I answered her and she gave me a “Best Answer” …saying it was because i made her laugh.
“Irony” is a term for a method of writing that uses contradictory terms to address a point.
It was my thought that the questioner was merely thoughtless and so mistakenly thought it would be a Fun Thing to look like someone who is suffering and dying from a horrific disease.
Instead, she let me know that “I made her laugh”—when everything I said was true and the result of personal experience. Everything.
First, let me take a moment to apologize for engaging in a battle of the wits with an unarmed opponent. Irony was entirely wasted on this person.
Then, let me know, you guys—do people really think that the squalor of heroin addiction is “fun”? How many out there think that a junkie is acting on their spunky fashion ethic by sporting abscesses?
I know you’ve got the right—but do you have the crassness to act on it?
I am extending the time for answers to be submitted to my question, because it hasn’t been answered. I do not need information on the physical characteristics of a heroin addict, thank you. The “look” is nauseating and sad, especially when the arms and legs start to go . They rot off from gangrene from abscesses that do not receive medical attention–go stand outside a needle exchange or methadone clinic and take a long, hard look if you really want to try for “heroin chic”.
I guess what I am looking for is a glimpse into the sort of mind that would find it acceptable or amusing to caricaturize, or glamorize, human suffering.
I am not gratified by anyone being punished for their ignorance or callousness, or looking to humiliate or punish them myself. I merely seek to learn from what I have found here, and perhaps, give others food for thought as well, because if someone is insensitive enough to pull this, what’s next? “Cancer chic” ? or “rape chic” ?next.

Look Inside To Discover How To Power Up Your Energy & Boost Your Metabolism
Jan 5th
Don’t you just wish that you could have an energy drink in a sachet that you could carry in your pocket, handbag or brief case and just add water when you needed an energy boost. Our lives seem to be getting busier all the time and its no wonder at we need to have a boost. The solution to that boost can be found right now in this article. It will also explain the health and wellness benefits available for you.
Whether it’s at the peak of an intense workout or half way through the day our bodies often cry out for that energy boast. We seem to be burning the candle at both ends. A long work schedule is the first demand on our energy. We seem to be working longer hours than before. Our social lives are getting busier. Our metabolism needs to be powered up. If we are married and have children they also put on to us lots of demands on our time and energy. There just does not seem to be time to rest. We need five minutes to give our metabolism a boost.
Lots of us have to drive to and from work. Driving can be a very tiring experience. Tiredness and driving do not mix and causes lots of accidents. Its all too easy to pull off the highway and go to the service station a buy a high energy drink to give your body that power it needs to boast its metabolism.
There are a variety of energy drinks available. In case you have not noticed, energy drinks come in cans. You have the litter problem of disposing of the empty cans afterwards. They are not environmentally friendly. They are found in petrol stations and soft drinks machines. If you are really thirsty and drink them quick they will give you wind and indigestion. Also these energy drinks have exploded, so for health and safety reasons we should not carry them in the car.
However, the big problem with most energy drinks is that energy boost you so desperately need comes with the price of sugar highs, jitters and crashes. Ask yourself this question. Is that kind of experience I really want. Do I want to fill my body with yet more sugar. The trouble is that with any high sugar content foods or drinks it you do get an energy boost. But that is swiftly followed by a dip in energy, where drowsiness and fatigue quickly follow.
Did you know for example that the average American eats one cup of sugar every day, or 210 pounds a year! Also in 1850 the average Englishman consumed only seven and a half pounds of sugar per year. No wonder some 15 million U.S. citizens have type two diabetes and the figures are high in Europe as well.
That’s not the kind of drink that you really want to use. However, there is a drink that is available and unlike the majority of energy drinks it contains less than 1 gram of sugar. This drink called crave is a breakthrough vitamin-enhanced energy drink . Because this drink comes in its own pre-measured “tube,” you can carry it anywhere to mix on demand with any liquid. All one needs to do is to mix one packet into approximately 16oz of pure water or whatever beverage you prefer. Within 5 minutes you get the required energy boast. With it there is no down-side, either: no crash, no headaches, none of the jitters you get from other energy drinks. It has only 9 calories per serving. That will not increase weight levels.
So there are so many benefits for you from a product like this. You will the energy that you need and it will not harm your body. It means no more lugging around bulky cans or bottles. All you need is just two packets on you and you can use if anywhere. The great news for jetsetters is that bottles and cans of drinks are not allowed but packets are welcome. If you need further information that can be found on,

Adolescent Drug Treatment: What to Look For in a Program
Jan 4th
With that in mind, how do you identify a good adolescent drug treatment program? Some essential characteristics to look for include:
12 step principles: The program doesn’t need to be officially affiliated AA/NA; however, it should incorporate the traditional, time-tested 12 step principles that have made those organizations successful. In addition, these principles should be complemented by individual coaching and experiential opportunities. A spiritual emphasis is also highly desirable.
Family focus: Be sure to inquire about the family communication policy: Research has shown that the most successful adolescent drug treatment programs and residential treatment centers allow for routine family updates and regular communication opportunities. Look for options like family workshops, which will keep the lines of communication open between you and the facility – and more importantly, you and your child.
Licensed medical professionals: If you believe your child has a co-occurring mental health disorder or has already been dually diagnosed, look for a program that provides substance abuse treatment and employs a licensed psychologist to address mental health challenges. If an underlying condition does exist, it’s important that your child receives treatment for it as well. The difference that it can make for his or her long-term recovery cannot be understated.
Additional options: Because addictions are often chronic, stress-related conditions, additional treatment options – such as EEG biofeedback and neurotherapy – can be a valuable complement to your child’s course of treatment. It may be worth your time to find a program that provides these types of options, particularly if your child is dually diagnosed. Treatments like these are becoming more conventional and are often recommended by medical professionals specializing in the treatment of co – occurring disorders.Adolescent residential drug treatment programs are ideal as they are able to offer specialized care that is not possible with outpatient drug treatment.
Flexibility: Multiple program levels, the potential choose between short or long-term treatment and an emphasis on each resident’s unique personal goals are just a couple of features you may wish to inquire about. Not only is this a good idea for practical reasons, it’s also a way to ensure that your teen will be treated as an individual – which is what every person in adolescent drug treatment deserves.
