Overall, there is no difference in alcoholic prevalence among African-Americans, Caucasians, and Hispanic-Americans. Some population groups, however, such as Native Americans, have an increased incidence of alcoholism while others, such as Jewish and Asian Americans, have a lower risk. Although the biological or cultural causes of such different risks are not known, certain people in these population groups may have a genetic susceptibility or invulnerability to alcoholism because of the way they metabolize alcohol.

There use to be, but with budget cuts programs like that have gone, for the most part, away. Check your local mental health offices, or a college psychology department in your area. They sometimes know of resources that they can refer you to. You may also try your local school district for help. Your state department of social services also may provide you with help. One of the groups above I am sure can help you.

"Bipolar affective disorder is when a person has a split personality problem. One mintue a person can be happy and content, they next they can snap into a rage."

God loves you (more than enough) now.

If you are a Christian then you will know this. You should get some advice from a mature christian about your memories and thoughts.

If you are not a Christian then you need to find somebody who is and talk to them. If you are not a Christian the Bible says you are 'dead to God' you are 'separated' from God. So until you make the choice and turn to God why should God perform a miracle for you?

Answer B:

(Islamic perspective)

Find out who God is and how to be on God's favoured side. Remember that God allow miracles to various peoples of various believes. Not just Christian. Miracles occur in Islam, hunduism and even between people that don't believe anything.

About your 'intrusive memories and thoughts', God tests us in many ways. And it is your willpower that gets tested. God tests us so as to distinguish the righteous from the hipocrites. So you'll have to deal with your intrusive memories and thoughts yourself and try to overcome them and surface a winner.

Having a miracle do it FOR YOU will not solve the problem, it will only deal with a symptom of the problem.

Search Bipolar, maybe you'll find some help there.

Both my mother and step father work in psychiatry, they know of my exorbitant marijuana use and have advised me that it will result in your serotonin levels being completely effed for about 2 weeks after using. This will result in possible depression, anxiety etc.

If you are planning on doing this you should definitely take some precautions especially if its your first time smoking weed. Zoloft greatly increases the high. My first time smoking marijuana i was on Zoloft and it was honestly an extremely frightening experience. So make sure you are with people you completely trust as you may need someone to talk you down. Your heart will probably beat extremely fast to the point where you will think your having a heart attack this apparently happens to people not on Zoloft so its nothing to worry about unless it becomes too accelerated. it may be a good idea to read up on others experiences on erowid in the cannabis or sertraline combinations sections.

These may seem frightening but remember that these are but a few experiences and its very subjective, more unstable people may find the experience of combining these two terrible while more stable people may find it bearable or even nice.

My personal experience with this combination has been shaky at best. I really love marijuana but in combination with Zoloft it can take a scary turn. you can have the greatest time of your life or the most unbearable experience that will stick with you. I've found it mostly depends on:

A) your mood going into the experience
B) your environment
C) the people you surround yourself with
D) Your own insecurities

If any of these are negative it can leave you feeling terrible. I would suggest, if you must do it, be in a dimly lit room doing something that you like (video games etc) listening to nice music and with at least one person you can really count on. You WILL become quite paranoid but I've found it helps if you just tell yourself you don't care. Most paranoia come from you thinking you are saying something weird or thinking that someone knows you are high. just try not to care about these and you will probably have an alright trip.

I've had people who know i take both tell me they tried it and they cant believe i do them together. So be cautious the experience may not be for you.

Just a warning marijuana while on Zoloft is bad for you, but completely stay away from drugs like ecstasy or drugs that work like ecstasy (cocaine etc) these will cause your serotonin receptors to burst and could seriously fry your brain.

Good luck!

Psychology uses terms such as 'bipolar disorder' and 'transsexualism' to refer to specific symptoms, not diseases or disorders (despite the word 'disorder' in 'bipolar disorder'). As a result of this, they cannot possibly cause each other. However, there could possibly be disease(s) that lead to both bipolar disorder as well as transsexualism. An example is post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress could lead to either bipolar disorder or transsexualism or both. The truth is, psychology has not been sufficiently developed to answer this question accurately and with certainty. It is philosophy, and statistics, not yet a hard science.

SSI is dependent upon income level, including value of assets, and SSDI which I think is what you are referring to (Social Security Disability Insurance) can be applied for by people with Bipolar Disorder.

There has to be a record in your life of how it has impacted your ability to work and it usually takes a long time to get approved, if ever. Your doctor has to be on your side and provide a lot of evidence of the severity of your case. It varies state to state too for some reason.


If you really need it and apply don't give up hope with the first rejection; the reject everyone the first attempt. Sometimes you have to get a lawyer involved and have a hearing. It isn't easy.

Bipolar disorder is treatable, and should be dealt with by a physician specifically trained in treatment of mental disorders.

Without treatment, the mood swings are not manageable and may well lead to tragedy.

the null hypothesis

No, very often there is no apparent reason for it. At least none that anyone other than the person committing knows and sometimes they may not really know why they do it.

• bipolar disorder, mood disorder, symptoms are extremecycles of high and low mood
• schizophrenia, thought disorder, symptoms are hallucinations and delusions
• multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder, dissociation disorder, symptoms are changes in identity and personality

All treatments involve discussion with a mental health professional. A physician or psychiatrist may prescribe mood stabilizers such as lithium, and antidepressants may be prescribed alongside stabilizers in order to boost the stabilized mood.

You can tell if you're depressed if you have the following:

- Feel like you're worthless in the world.

- Attempted or thought about killing your self.

- Lost interest in things you used to love and do everyday.

- You lost appetite or eat more.

- More short-tempered than usual.

- Can't sleep much.

- Can't concentrate.

If you're thinking to attempt to kill yourself or feel like you're worthless, tell you parents. Walk up to your mom or dad and say " Can we talk for a minute? I've been feeling depressed latley. I'm really sad and I don't like feeling this way."

It may not seem like you need to tell someone, but you do. My friend was depressed, she finally told her parents and it turned out her depression was serious. It's not healthy for you either. I'm not sure why. That you might have to look up.

Hope I helped and goodluck!
