what percentage of adults who experienced sibling physical and psychological abuse as children have ptsd?

Dr. Krishna Kumaranswered

PTSD: I feel empathy for those going through sibling physical and psychological abuse as children
It causes intense fear, panic and helplessness
Frequent and intense episodes of abuse with injury; and lack of love and support from the parents can lead to PTSD.
There are no scientific studies to show the percentage of adults with PTSD due to abuse as children

A 33-year-old member asked:
Is there a support group for children of drug-addicted parents?

Dr. Jeffrey Rothanswered

Yes: If either parent uses alcohol, the most well developed support group for this purpose is al-anon. If the addiction is to drugs, and no alcohol is involved, the less well developed support group nar-anon would be the best choice. If nar-anon is not available, codependents anonymous would also be useful.

Lots of options: The next step is a visit to the obgyn for an exam, sonogram and blood work. There are medications such as Lysteda which can help. Some will take birth control pills. A sonogram may show a polyp which can be removed. Others are candidates for an endometrial ablation. This is a safe easy option which can be done in a few minutes in the office. I am a fan of the genesys hta ablation.

Before they are born: Teaching your child healthy eating starts with our own healthy eating. Society provides a regular message to children that encourages eating unhealthy foods. Children's tv is littered with advertisements for sugary cereals and beverages and we have a growing rate of obesity among toddlers. Parents in today's society will have to work hard to provide healthy food messages, modeling is the key.

Show by example: Show the child what to eat by setting an

this is a long process of many months
to years. The amount of exercise will
also have to be included.

Can you experience spotting with mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD even if you never have for the past 2 years?

Dr. Allison Urrutiaanswered
Obstetrics and Gynecology 14 years experience
Yes: Yes, it is possible to have spotting with a Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud even if you have not previously. While the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud causes thinning of the uterine lining, it is still possible to have occasional spotting. Like all birth control, if you have changes in stress, weight or health, you can have changes in your bleeding.
