Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, there are approx. 1 million Canadians who suffer from some form of depression and The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second-leading cause of disability in the world by 2020, trailing only heart disease. Western antidepressant drugs such as Prozac, Paxil — which work by altering certain chemicals (e.g. Serotonin) called neurotransmitters in our brains — are often prescribed for people suffering from depression.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition in which there is a high level of sugar (Glucose) in the bloodstream. When we eat foods, it is broken down into Glucose by our liver which is absorbed by our fat and muscle’s cells and stored as energy. Diabetes develops when the Pancreas does not produce enough Insulin, a hormone that allows the body to absorb Glucose.
What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition that will catch up with most people who live into older age.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Migraines
Migraines are painful, often debilitating headaches, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell. These throbbing headaches tend to reoccur and can last from hours to days. The precise underlying cause of migraines is unknown but the principal theory is that they are caused by spasms in the arteries that supply blood to the brain. While headaches may be a warning sign of more serious medical conditions, people most often experience either a tension headache, a migraine or both.
Pain Management
Pain is a symptom from a variety of causes such as injury, disease, and strenuous activity. Pain is a message sent by the body to the brain from the affected area but pain can affect the entire body and mind. Pain is classified into two categories: chronic and acute.
