If you take Prilosec or Zantac for acid reflux, a beta blocker for high blood pressure, or Xanax for anxiety, you may be increasing your risk of depression.
More than 200 common medications sold in the U.S. include depression as a potential side effect. Sometimes, the risk stems from taking several drugs at the same time. Now, a new study finds people who take these medicines are, in fact, more likely to be depressed.
The list includes a wide range of commonly taken medications. Among them are certain types of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (used to treat acid reflux), beta blockers, anxiety drugs, painkillers including ibuprofen, ACE inhibitors (used to treat high blood pressure), and anti-convulsant drugs.
"The more of these medications you're taking, the more likely you are to report depression," says study author Mark Olfson, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University.
Prime Minister May, and England's MI5 and MI6, a word, please.
Placing Robinson in an a prison environment, where he is likely to be assassinated, is a really, staggeringly idiotic move, because the last thing sensible, rational people in the British government want to have happen, is for him to become a martyr to a racist movement, which does have some valid cases in point which never should have happened, like the activities of the Muslim "grooming gangs", grooming children for sex, where the people accused of this did get convicted.
As a woman very happily married to a pan-racial man, and who conducts two English speaking choirs at a truly rainbow Christian faith community, filled with people of every ethnicity you could imagine, I believe that racism, for the sake, or racism, is just plain stupid.
That having been said, however, when immigrants come to this country (legally), I want to welcome them, and understand that they are allowed to engagage in whatever faith practices they hold dear; but the moment they tell me what I CANNOT do, in the name of THEIR faith and tradition, I will get hot under the collar, and get angry.
In my world, faith, any faith, should never be about coersion; it should be about how my understanding of God's love, causes me to respond in the real world.
I would never eat a bacon sandwich in front of either a devout Muslim, or a devout Orthodox Jew; that would simply be insensitive in the extreme; but the minute someone tells me that I cannot eat bacon in my own home, that is where I would dive for a copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and politely ask that person to read them, right there in front of me, to understand that they are not legally allowed to force me to not eat bacon in private.
