Question 1

what is a high dhdl?

Accepted Answer

Direct high density : Direct high density lipoprotein, it is the so called good cholesterol.

Question 2

what would happen if i didn't eat for a week?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: You would be very hungry and lose a lot of weight, but as long as you remained well hydrated it would not be likely to effect your overall health significantly, but why would you want to do this.  It is very uncomfortable.

Question 3

what would happen if someone undergone ect but didn't need it?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: How was it or should it be determined that they didn't "need it" if they were recommended it be done?  I'm thinking the psychiatrist made the recommendation.  I can't imagine a PMD such as an internist simply "ordering it" and that a psychiatrist would do it without an evaluation and agreeing that it was an appropriate intervention.

Question 4

how do you tell the kids daddy is going back into the war zone?

Accepted Answer

Gentle, honest: Lot depends on kids' ages, how much they understand. They should know that even tho daddy has to be away, he loves them very much, & that daddy's work is to keep families safe, including your own. Let kids know what to expect - will daddy have access to phone or skype? Personalized mementos to give kids something of daddy's to hold onto while he is away. Support from other military families helps!

Question 5

i stepped on a thorn today and didn't treat the wound, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated.: A puncture wound is caused by an object piercing the skin and creating a hole such as from stepping on a nail.  Such injuries can potentially be dangerous as one may develop tetanus, or a number of other types of deep infections.

Question 6

i haven't eaten all day. what would happen if i didn't eat tonight?

Accepted Answer

STARVATION: If you fast all day but consume some fluids, then there is no ill effect, as long as otherwise you are in good health and do not have diabetes or any other systemic disease.Fasting for a day(24 hours) will not cause any lomg term side effects.

Question 7

i took ecstasy for the first time and didn't really feel anything. why?

Accepted Answer

Ecstacy: I am happy to hear this. The sudden rush of losing all of your serotonin at once, while may be cool for some people it can really lead to a significant depression as it takes some time to build up your serotonin stores in the brain naturally. If it is not fun then you won't be tempted to do it again.

Question 8

how do we tell our childern (4yrs, 2yrs, and 11mo) that daddy is very sick?

Accepted Answer

W/Love & Honesty: Talking about situations they may not understand can be very difficult. You may want to assess how much each of them can understand/how much you'd like them to know & sit w/them individually. Allow time for processing & let them ask questions. This is never an easy situation and should be approached based on the level of understanding you feel each child is capable of emotionally & intellectually.

Question 9

is it possible to develop add as an adult when you didn't have it as a child?

Accepted Answer

Add: You may have had it as a child but were never diagnosed.

Question 10

is it ok that i didn't attend preschool but was instead watched by a babysitter?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Preschool is common in some cultures and not others. The groups that benefit the most tend to come from settings where reading, and other stimulating activities were less common. Within a year or two, little difference is seen in the performance of both groups.
