It is estimated that more than 1 in 4 adults with significant mental health issues also has a substance use problem. Mood disorders and addiction are often comorbid, which means they occur together. Read on to find out more about depression and substance abuse, and their occurrence together. Depression Depression is more than just being sad. It’s a mental health condition that requires treatment. If you are experiencing a sad or “down” mood that is lasting an unusually long time and interfering with your activities of daily life or functioning, this might be depression....

I can make the comparison because, even though a lot of people have to start with really limited resources in a new place, I actually entered the United States with completely empty pockets. It was one of the highest hurdles I’ve ever had to jump, but the experience redirected me in a way I have no regrets about. Why the U.S. Seemed So Amazing I grew up in Lebanon in the midst of the Lebanese civil war....

By all measures, the CARES Act and its Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) have been great successes. Both chambers of Congress and President Trump came together in a bipartisan effort to quickly enact the PPP, providing American small businesses with immediate access to $659 billion in federally funded loans. The PPP helped millions of small business owners keep employees on the payroll when they may have otherwise folded in the midst of the pandemic....

We’re not talking about the game either. Cincinnati was holding on to a four-point lead against the Rams, a lead the Bengals would give up in heart-breaking fashion in a 23-20 loss that resembled Super Bowl 16 and Super Bowl 23 losses to the 49ers. Burrow finished the game, but it’s on Cincinnati to ensure that uncertainty does not resurface with an offseason that beefs up Burrow’s protection. What else could you say after watching Burrow take a Super Bowl-record seven sacks?...

And if that doesn’t work, U.S. Strategic Command, commonly known as STRATCOM, is prepared to do what would otherwise be unthinkable. “For more than 60 years, America’s Nuclear Triad has served as the backbone of America’s national security,” STRATCOM Public Affairs Chief Captain Ronald Flanders told Newsweek. “Forces operating at sea, on land, and in the air are ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, deterring our nation’s adversaries from attacking the United States or our allies....

Chemotherapy Chemotherapy for brain tumors is tailored to the type of tumor, which is determined with a biopsy examination. Some chemotherapeutic regimens include: Temodar (temozolomide) is a recommended chemotherapeutic medication for people who have glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a tumor with a particularly poor prognosis....

Lately those worries have been eclipsed by a sense of hopelessness about the escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians. When a pregnant Palestinian woman and a pregnant Israeli woman were shot last week, I felt determined to try to change things. I was a college student at Tufts University in December 1987, when the first Palestinian intifada began. The movement resonated strongly with my sense of justice. The uprising’s character of self-imposed relative nonviolence–Palestinian stones versus Israeli tanks and guns–also spoke to many of my classmates who, a year earlier, had joined the global antiapartheid movement....

When users log in to their accounts, they are greeted by different categories, with “Recommended For You” being one of the important ones to personalize an individuals experience. However, it’s not a foolproof system, and occasionally you can get things not to your taste popping up. Relatives may have logged in to your account and binged a documentary series, the kids might have watched their favorite cartoons, or you might have watched loads of romcoms with an ex, and they are no longer to your satisfaction....

Turns out, maybe many of us have been selling Lue short all along. When Lue was promoted, his goal was to expand the team’s offense, to speed the tempo, to enhance ball movement and take better advantage of all the weapons on the Cleveland roster. In sweeping their first two series, they averaged 107.8 points while shooting 46.1 percent from the field, and, amazingly enough, 46.2 percent from the 3-point line....

Women suffer a wide array of reproductive disorders related to celiac disease, including increased risks of infertility, miscarriage, and other pregnancy problems. Although far less research has been done to document the reproductive health effects of celiac disease on men, what few studies there are indications that male infertility is higher among undiagnosed celiac men. But can having the undiagnosed celiac disease affect your sexuality and your sexual satisfaction? Although available research is, again, scanty, the answer appears to be yes....

Having a substance, alcohol or behavioral use disorder can mean legal or financial consequences, law enforcement involvement, job loss, divorce and more — all of which can create unbearable stress for employees. Many employees coping with addicted loved ones who aren’t in treatment have no support or resources. Here are a few facts: • One in 7 adults over the age of 18 have a serious problem with alcohol....

The law, known as China’s Personal Information Protection Law, blocks foreign companies from accessing the data needed for shippers to gain an understanding of cargo volumes so that they may plan their routes in a manner that allows them to avoid congested ports and reduce the overall amount of time ships spend waiting for cargo. Under the new law, the Chinese government has a greater ability to regulate how domestic and foreign entities gather and distribute Chinese data....

The upset shakes up the ACC race, not to mention the College Football Playoff picture. Clemson suffered a blow when quarterback Kelly Bryant left in the second quarter with a concussion, and the Tigers committed too many mistakes in the second half. MORE: Three takeaways from Syracuse’s win over Clemson Here are five ways this will impact that College Football Playoff race. Clemson used its mulligan The Tigers shouldn’t be in full-fledged panic....

The race itself may be a 10-kilometer race, but you might practice by running 12 kilometers to build up your endurance and strength. In the same way, you could build up your cognitive reserve by keeping your brain active through mental exercises, social interaction, and other brain-stimulating activities like cognitive training. Passive (Brain) and Active (Cognitive) Reserve In 2009, Yaakov Stern outlined his research on cognitive reserve and highlighted two different types of cognitive reserve: passive and active....

Coral reefs are under threat from coral bleaching, which eventually leads to starvation. Global warming can disrupt the algae on the coral, which give it its vivid colors, leaving it white, fragile, and more likely to starve. Now scientists have revealed how a special internal cooling system is saving stony corals–or Scleractinia–from environmental stress. A study, led by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremerhaven, Germany, had its findings published in the journal Current Biology on August 23....

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan conducted a survey between April and August 2020 across the LGBTQ+ social networking and dating apps Hornet and Her. They surveyed 964 individuals from 76 countries, including Turkey and Thailand. “We saw this in the U.S. with the disproportionate impact COVID-19 had on racialized minorities and economically marginalized people,” senior study author S. Wilson Beckham, PhD, an assistant scientist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, tells Verywell....

In all likelihood, you’re doing nothing wrong. It could be that your breakouts aren’t the result of your lifestyle, but rather a product of your genetic makeup. Is There an Acne “Gene?” In a word, no. But there definitely is a tendency for acne to run in families. If either (or both) of your parents are acne-prone, that may be one reason you are as well. Some studies have shown a person’s likelihood of developing acne if her mother had acne at any point in her life is especially high....

title: “How Do You Spell Relief " ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-16” author: “Manuel Chernosky” The United Nations’ difficulties weren’t restricted to the Horn of Africa: fierce fighting over Somali aid has taken place at U.N. headquarters in New York, where posturing has sometimes replaced real work. That is nowhere better illustrated than in the cashiering of Mohamed Sahnoun, who in late October lost his post as U.N. special representative to Somalia....
