Are you struggling in a marriage or committed relationship now? Did your last relationship end?  Either way, don't you want to be in a healthy relationship, one that will last?  You may have made a mistake or two in the past . . . but do you want to make the same mistakes over and over again? 

With divorce rates at 50%, couples face the most severe challenges to relationship stability ever. Research shows that on average, couples wait six years from the first signs of problems before they seek help.

Treatments for BPD have improved in recent years. Group and individual psychotherapy are at least partially effective for many patients. Within the past 15 years, a new psychosocial treatment termed dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was developed specifically to treat BPD, and this technique has looked promising in treatment studies.

Pharmacological treatments are often prescribed based on specific target symptoms shown by the individual patient. Antidepressant drugs and mood stabilizers may be helpful for depressed and/or labile mood. Antipsychotic drugs may also be used when there are distortions in thinking.

Individuals who struggle with  addictions do not set out to destroy themselves and everyone and everything in their path--rather, these cataclysmic consequences are the effect of the vicious cycle of addiction. Addictions may
serve to avert emotional and physical pain by providing the user with a temporary and illusionary escape from or way to cope with life's realities.

In fact, more problems--serious ones--are created by addictions. Over time, a person's ability to choose not to engage in addictive behavior can become compromised. Soon enough, the person rationalizes this need consistently and will do anything to repeat the behavior whether it is alcohol or drug use to get high, gambling or sexual behavior.

Depression can happen to anyone.  No matter what age you are. No matter where you come from. No matter how hard you try to "snap out of it." According to the newly-released National Comorbidity Study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, at some time in their lives more than 16% of Americans--as many as 35 million people--suffer from depression that's serious enough to warrant treatment.

Nationwide, more than half of those who suffer with depression now seek treatment, up from one-third ten years ago--and yet, while it's true that more people are seeking professional help, researchers have found that nearly 60% of those in treatment do not receive adequate care. One important reason that people with depression fail to receive the help they need is that many turn to their family doctors, who often don't treat depression aggressively enough.
