    The PCP’s Role in Managing Pediatric Depression

    November 30, 2010 /

    Childhood Depression: Introduction  Editor’s note: The United States is facing a severe shortage of psychiatrists and psychiatric resources, particularly in terms of pediatric mental healthcare. As a result, primary care providers (PCPs) are playing an increasing role in screening for and managing psychiatric symptoms and illnesses in their young patients. Medscape recently interviewed Dr. Robert L. Findling, a child psychiatrist, and Dr. Larry Culpepper, a primary care physician, on how PCPs can effectively contribute to the recognition and management of pediatric depression and work with psychiatrists in a collaborative approach to treatment.

    Fat Pharms: Antidepressants and Weight Gain

    November 29, 2010 /

    Fat Pharms: Antidepressants and Weight Gain Up to 25% of people who take antidepressants gain weight. Is there anything you can do about it?   Seeking help for depression — and following through with antidepressant medication — is a courageous and important first step on the road to recovery. But too often, those who take that step find themselves faced with another troubling problem: weight gain. Experts say that for up to 25% of people, most antidepressant medications — including the popular SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) drugs like Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil, and Zoloft — can cause a weight gain of 10 pounds or more.

    November 23, 2010 /

    An abnormal preoccupation with health can be debilitating, the medical fraternity knows this too well. Researchers and doctors have noted that when there are no physical symptoms, it doesn’t really mean that nothing is wrong with a patient. A patient suspected of a heart attack a week earlier might visit the doctor once again complaining of an acute headache signaling brain tumor. This could just be hypochondria, or commonly known as severe health anxiety.
