Question 1

aside from psych. testing, what can a psychologist do that a lcsw can't?

Accepted Answer

They are different : Both groups of professionals have a great deal to offer people in the way of psychotherapeutic interventions. Psychologists may engage in teaching and research as well as clinical practice. LCSW's tend to focus more on clinical practice. The training for both fields is with a different focus and the amount of time in training varies. Both fields are extremely important in helping people get well.

Question 2

if a lcsw recommended adhd stimulants to a 17 year old can a psychiatrist/ physician/ nurse practitioner prescribe against his parents wishes?

Accepted Answer

: You raised a hypothetical question. In reality, most of LCSW are not trained to make diagnosis of ADHD and recommend specific medication.

Question 3

how to lose wight!?

Accepted Answer

Eat fewer calories: Our bodies are in a simple state of balance. If we eat more calories than we use, we gain weight. If we eat fewer calories than we use, we lose weight. So, people who want to lose weight must eat less than they use on most days, but occasionally may eat more than they use on other days... but it averages out over time, so that they are eating fewer calories overall, than they use each day.

Question 4

how can i lose fats?

Accepted Answer

Use up the calories: Anything that uses energy (calories) will help one lose weight, as long as he doesn't eat or drink back more calories right after the activity. Examples: if walking, take a longer route; use stairs instead of elevators; take multiple trips to and from the car when unloading groceries; park a block from school and walk there; at home, skip dessert and go walk around the block instead. Avoid sugar.

Question 5

how can i lose 70lb?

Accepted Answer

Dietary control: The simple answer is to ingest fewer calories than you burn up.  This will happen for sure if you do that.  You can be assisted by a proper diet, and the help of a nutritionist and exercise therapist.

Question 6

been the last week ?

Accepted Answer

Urgent Care Exam!: I encourage you to get to an Urgent Care Center or Emergency Room for an exam as soon as possible. You could be suffering from a cardiovascular problem, infection, drug reaction, thyroid problem or some other problem which needs attention immediately. The mood swings could be secondary to a medical problem. Have someone or an ambulance take you-Do not drive now! I wish you well with your health!

Question 7

i want to lose wait ?

Accepted Answer

U can do it!: Stay on a prudent diet, exercise 4-7 days a week, and drink plenty of water.  Get an accountablity partner to diet and exercise with and stay with it.  It will be slow but it will be positive.  Just do it.  500 calories less a day for a year will usually yield a 26 pound loss in a year.   This is reasonable and rational.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Call insurance: The best thing is to call your insurance customer service and ask them which rheumatologists in your town accept  that insurance.

Question 9

how can i lose 5 lbs?

Accepted Answer

Well...: A pound in general is the equivalent of 3500 calories.  You need to achieve a negative balance of 3500 calories to lose one pound.  Either by burning them with exercise and limiting your caloric intake.
Example: Eliminate 500 calories from your diet daily and in 7 days, you should lose a pound, if otherwise you are healthy.
Walking a mile burns about 100 calories.  Do the Math
