Ross Stretch on alcohol rehab: For people who experience mild alcohol withdrawal symptoms, there are safe ways to detox at home. People who experience tremors, shakes or confusion when they quit drinking should consider medically supervised detox. You should talk to a doctor about the safest way to detox if you experience any withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking. It is possible to safely detox from alcohol at home without medical supervision. But extra caution should be taken if you’re detoxing on your own. Alcohol withdrawal can cause serious health issues that require medical treatment.

Ross Stretch about Adderall addiction: It’s dangerous to take Adderall and Xanax together because both are controlled substances with a high potential for addiction. Combining these two substances increases the likelihood of developing an addiction. The combination is also dangerous because the effects of one could overpower the other, causing the person to take too much of Adderall or Xanax and risking the possibility of an overdose. Adderall is a relatively common drug amongst students in high school and college. In 2017, about 6% of high school seniors reported nonmedical use of Adderall. However, the good news is that this number is declining.

Most children in our survey who were taking medication for ADHD had tried methylphenidate (84 percent) or an amphetamine (51 percent) in the past three years. A smaller percentage (17 percent) had tried a nonstimulant medication. There were no differences in the type of medication children were prescribed either by age or length of time since they had been diagnosed. Most children taking these medications had been taking them for longer than two years (35 percent overall), while 22 percent had been taking them for one to two years. Our survey found there were no major differences in effectiveness between amphetamines and methylphenidates. But there were more reports of “irritability and anger” and “high mood/energy (manic behavior)” among children who used amphetamines.

Recognize any menaces: These are external circumstances and situations that are bothering you, or that might occur and block you from achieving your goals or taking hold of them. Evaluate and prioritize: Lastly, as always, with development ventures, and anything that resembles strategic reasoning, it is useful to interpret your analysis. Challenge yourself: Attempt to highlight one, or at most two, things from any of the strengths, vulnerabilities, possibilities, and menaces you think will be most critical in delivering (or stopping you from achieving) your goal. Those fields will be your priorities; you will need to take action.

Mindfulness meditation and mental health are a hot topic for Ross Stretch: One of the most interesting studies in the last few years, carried out at Yale University, found that mindfulness meditation decreases activity in the default mode network (DMN), the brain network responsible for mind-wandering and self-referential thoughts – a.k.a., “monkey mind.” The DMN is “on” or active when we’re not thinking about anything in particular, when our minds are just wandering from thought to thought. Since mind-wandering is typically associated with being less happy, ruminating, and worrying about the past and future, it’s the goal for many people to dial it down. Several studies have shown that meditation, through its quieting effect on the DMN, appears to do just this. And even when the mind does start to wander, because of the new connections that form, meditators are better at snapping back out of it.

Everyone has heard the term meditation, but many people aren’t clear on what exactly it entails. If you imagine someone sitting in the lotus position with their eyes closed chanting ‘ommmm,’ you aren’t alone! But is this even accurate, and what else is there to meditation? Let’s take a look at what the Merriam-Webster dictionary has to say: to engage in contemplation or reflection to engage in mental exercise (such as concentration on one’s breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness; to focus one’s thoughts on: reflect on or ponder over.
