Question 1

is it possible for two depressed people to have a healthy relationship?

Accepted Answer

Depressed: Sure. Both can be supportive of each other, and with proper therapy, they can lead a healthy productive life.

Question 2

i was wondering how i could have a healthy relationship with food?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: By eating in moderation, a variety of foods and a balance of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, chicken, fish and dairy. There are no foods you can not eat, however, portion control and eating in moderation are important for a healthy relationship with food.

Question 3

do many men have a healthy relationship with their mother?

Accepted Answer

Great question: Relating with one's mother evolves over time, and goes through many, many stresses and potential crises.  Whether it withstands all this in a healthy way depends largely on the mother's flexibility, support, and temperamental fit with her child's needs.  As adults, mothers and sons share a lifetime of little moments, hopefully more often positive than not.  I don't know "numbers" on your question.

Question 4

how can you have a healthy relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder?

Accepted Answer

Borderline disorder: Very difficult to achieve. The person with borderline personality disorder has to be motivated to manage the symptoms and the other person has to learn how to cope with the manipulation and double bind splitting that is common with this disorder. I recommend the book "Stop Walking On Eggshells" by Paul Mason

Question 5

what makes a healthy relationship?

Accepted Answer

Responsibility: Trust and be open at all times, no matter what. Respect them as much as you'd like to be respected. That, in a nut shell.

Question 6

how do social relationships affect your health?

Accepted Answer

Social relationships: If healthy, social relationships can help you feel safe, loved, and secure.   This can be a good foundation for other things you want to do.  Unhealthy relationships -- like bullying, abusive, emotional conflict, lying, etc -- can cause upset and disruption of your mood.  Your sensitivities can affect your responses to this.  It may be healthier to end some relationships than keep them.

Question 7

how to have healthy relationship with my children?

Accepted Answer

This is a very open: Ended question.I will make a big leap here by assuming that the relationship is not as healthy as you desire. In this case one option is family therapy if it is truly an issue regarding dynamics. However, if you are personally having struggles that adversely impact your relationship with other people then doing some individual work might be more helpful.  Take care.

Question 8

what is the relationship between health and recreation?

Accepted Answer

4+: Recreation (re-creation) means that you are diverting from the serious issues of life to play. It creates a necessary "balance" that is an essential thing for all of us.

Question 9

is it healthy to be in an non affectionate relationship?

Accepted Answer

Very: Friendships are some of the most important and healthy relationships we can have. Unfortunately, our culture often glorifies sexual and affectionate relationships to the extent that it seems impossible to have a simple friendship, although it is such an important aspect of our lives.

Question 10

what is an healthy relationship? what is an unhealthy relationship?

Accepted Answer

Here's my take...: Whether they are family members, friends, co-workers, or committed partners -- two people who enjoy doing things together and being together, without either making the other responsible for their own happiness. Teach rather than criticize; the relationship is more important than being right. Enjoy seeing the other person make their own decisions freely.
