God Damn Maldive media March 17, 2008

It has been 2 days since a high profile person from the Presidents Office had been “arrested”, “taken away”, “abducted” or kept out from the publics eye . This “noble” person seems to have been sexually abusing his own daughter since she was nine years old. Only one newspaper has so far covered this. Yes. God damn Maldive media. If there is a god that is.
 

All the Hype on the recent Antidepressant study March 1, 2008

If you look at the published headlines of this study, the first impression you will get is that Anti depressants have been found not to be working anymore. Here is an example just for making things clear.

Heading from Washingtonpost reads.

 

Only Severely Depressed Benefit From Antidepressants: Study

While popular antidepressants such as Prozac are widely prescribed for people with varying degrees of depression, the drugs are only effective for those with the most severe depression, a new study suggests.

The actual study published on the PloS Medicine Journal and freely accessible online reveals otherwise. It suggests that most groups of people on SSRIs found it helpful. It never suggested that people on antidepressants should stop taking it or it does not have any effect at all.

Around the globe, health Centers, clinics, GPs and phychiatrists were bombarded by phone calls from their clients after reading or hearing of the findings from the report.

So, When it comes to mental health, never, ever trust what you read in the headlines. If your health (or the health of someone you love) is at stake, take the time to read what’s behind the headlines.
