Transcranial
Magnetic
Stimulation
Electroconvulsive
therapy is still well-respected in the psychiatric community
and not an uncommon treatment for severe depression.
But the quest for an alternative goes on. Your Health
looks at one that's still considered experimentalÖthough
it carries magnetic possibilities.
Addiction
Intervention
Alcoholism
is a disease that not only hurts the alcoholic but also
damages those around her. There are new treatments to help
alcoholics but tough love may be the best prescription.
An interview with Dr. Graeme Cunningham, director of addiction
treatment at the Homewood Health Centre and a recovering
alcoholic.

Sutures
Has your doctor ever had you in stitches?
We're not talking about his sense of humour but
his suturing skills. Besides, if you've had
stitches, you probably didn't find the experience
all that funny. Here's our Master Tailor,
Dr. Paul Caldwell.
Here's Dr. Paul Caldwell.

Kids
and Stroke
Most
of us recognize weakness down one side of the body, or speech
slurring as warning signs of stroke. But if
it were your 4 or 5-year-old child with these symptoms,
would stroke ever enter your head? Kids can have stroke
-- in fact, they're more common than brain tumours in children.
But for all the similarities between child and adult strokes,
there are also key differences.
Megadosing
Vitamins
If
a little vitamin A is good for your eyesight, then more
is better, right? Not always. Doctors are concerned
about a trend toward megadosing vitamins. But health
nuts say the recommended daily allowances are set too low
to be effective. We talk vitamins with Dr. Shirley Epstein.
