How Often Can You Visit Your Babies in the NICU?

Published July 18, 2013

Question by tdoff: How often can you visit your babies in the NICU?
My daughter just had twins eight weeks premature. They were 4-14 and 4-4 at birth and are in the NICU. She visits them frequently, but is getting a vibe from the nurses that she is “in the way”. She is 21, unmarried, and has had a history of drug and alcohol abuse in her teen years, but none recently. She wants to bond with her babies, but is becoming more reluctant to go because of the way the nurses seem to regard her. What should she do? Read more...

Preferably in Washington or Oregon.

Best answer:

Answer by D.D
I think you are confused a little……there are no mental health rehabs just for mental health, rehabilitation places are usually related to drugs and addictions. Therapy and mental health clinics, and psyc wards in hospitals are for mental health treatments. You may benefit from a retreat of some kind that deals with mental health issues. The easiest thing to do is google mental health retreats, rehabs, and all that and then call and ask people for information specific to that area.Here are two sites for you.

Best answer:

Answer by Nevada Lady
He is a fashion designer.

Marc Jacobs (born April 9, 1963 in New York City) is an American fashion designer. He attended the High School of Art and Design and graduated in 1981. Although he does not refer to this in most interviews, he attended nearby Teaneck High School for most of his High school years. He graduated under the name of Marc Jacobs, but used the name Marc Silver for most of his years. He changed his last name from Silver as a result of his estrangement from his parents. He lived in Teaneck with his mother, sister and younger brother. From there, Jacobs entered the Parsons School of Design in New York City. At Parsons, Jacobs won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award in 1984, and in the same year was also awarded the Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble Award and the Design Student of the Year Award.

Looking for a Drug-Free Psych Doctor for My Son.?

Published June 21, 2013

Question by Dawn: Looking for a drug-free Psych doctor for my son.?
My son who is 22 has taken long-term medications for his OCD, one anti-psychotic for nearly seven years! In the last few months, his Psych. doc has had to change his SSRI medication over and over, due to side effects as well, but these seem to be causing more side effects and problems. He is either manic or can barely keep his eyes open. I am seeking a Psychiatrist who can wean my son off of all of his meds under supervision (my son’s desire as well) and treat his issues drug-free if possible. Prefer a doctor in Washington state (where we live), Oregon or Northern California. The Psych docs here (we are in a small town) in the last few days, have only wanted to sub new meds for the old, many of these drugs have long-term serious health risks. Please help us if you have any leads for us. Thank you all so very much. Read more...
