Why Is There So Much Scary Diseases Entering America These Days

Why do so many people have mental disorders?

Through better understanding of mental health in healthcare and the community, frankly.The rate of poor mental health hasn't necessarily changed, it’s mostly our understanding of the warning signs that someone is becoming ill - our perception of mental health - and our willingness to do something.To grasp just how this is the case you really need to understand the changes on how mental health is treated by the health care systems around the world. Gone are the days of locking people up, shutting them away from the rest of the world in 1st world countries. In the United States, President Kennedy started the process of deinstitutionalisation in the 1950s, with another wave of deinstitutionalisation in the 70s.Governments and the healthcare system came to realise that shutting people off from the world wasn't helpful in the care of the patient but also because running these institutions was very expensive. And that it’s better to rehabilitate the service user in the community and help them run a life as normal as possible and that the end goal is to hopefully get them back into work; running a normal life is the most therapeutic thing you can have in this regard.It has taken the best part of 60 years with the aid of constant reassessing how care is delivered in emergency situations and hospitalisation, and progression in treatment like therapies and “cleaner” pharmaceuticals to get to a stage where a person with mental health problems need not necessarily be scared about admitting it and seeking help.It’s worth noting that the internet has played a massive role in breaking the stigma, it’s never been as easy to discuss mental health anonymously before on this sort of scale.

Lyme Disease, scared?

Whatever you do, do NOT wait to get treated! You are in a very valuable window of time because if treated while Lyme is still in the early stages, 2-4 weeks of treatment is often all that is needed. Contrary to popular belief, Lyme is found throughout the US. Most people who get Lyme Disease do NOT remember seeing a bulls-eye rash or having a tick bite. If caught early it can be treated with 2-4 weeks of antibiotics. However, if left untreated, it can turn into a chronic debilitating disease that requires months to years of treatment.

Blood tests for Lyme disease are very unreliable and are not to be used to diagnose Lyme Disease. The diagnosis of Lyme Disease is made based on a patient's symptoms and history. However, since you had a postive test, there should be no reason why should not be placed on antibiotics.

Ticks also spread other diseases known as "Co-Infections" - some co-infections include: Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Mycoplasma. These MUST be treated in order for Lyme Disease treatment to be effective.

Best of luck!

Is America dangerous?

There are two ways to interpret this question:Why is America so dangerous (to people living in America)?It’s not for most of us. I live in Chicago, which has a reputation for being “dangerous,” yet the biggest danger I face most days is from potholes and skunks.The truth is, many Americans put themselves in danger through a variety of bad choices. Don’t want to be in danger? Stay away from drugs, pay attention in school, and don’t drive like an idiot. That’s 90% of the battle right there.If you factor out people who put themselves in dangerous situations, like joining a gang, selling drugs, or driving double the speed limit, America is actually very safe.Why is America so dangerous (to other countries)?Because we have the biggest and most technologically advanced military by far, we have troops all over the world, we have allies all over the world, and we are the world’s cultural and economic leader.[Pause here for chest-pounding Americans to calm down a bit…]Hegemony is the fancy word for that. The US has military, cultural, and economic hegemony in the world now.The truth is, most countries need or want things from the US way more than we need or want things from them. Don’t like the US? Don’t want to do business with us? That’s fine. I’m sure someone else will want to sell us whatever you had to offer anyway. We won’t even notice if you boycott us. Do you want us to lead a boycott against you? Are you sure about that? Think carefully before you decide you want the US to stop doing business with you, and get its friends to stop doing business with you too.The US acts as both the bouncer and the club owner to the best night club in the world. Everyone who is anyone is in that club. Right now, five countries have been bounced out of that club by the US. Let’s look at the list, and see how they’re doing these days:United States embargoes - WikipediaI’m an American living in America, so I have a permanent pass to get into the cool club. I know the owner. But if I were a non-American, living in not-America, I’d really hate to live in one of these five countries that got bounced out by the Americans.If you want to play on the global stage, you have to play with the Americans. That’s why we’re dangerous.The irony is, anyone who comments any version of “we don’t need or want anything from the US” is already a hypocrite. Quora is an American-based company, and you want to use it to leave a comment.

My 9 years old son is scared of mosquitoes. We live in India and here we find lots of mosquitoes. What should I do?

Where I lived in Roma, Italia we had no mosquitos and therefore we needed no screens and the windows were always open. Where I lived in New York State near to Niagara Falls the mosquitos were as large as a child's hand and the bites would cause my hand to double in size. We had very fine screens on every window and screen-doors that slammed shut. However, I do not recall any of the tons of children in our very Catholic, pre-birth-control Era neighborhood being terrified of the mosquitos. Perhaps the mosquitos in your area carry मलेरिया** and your child has been frightened by adults carrying on about it! मलेरिया is a scary disease. Make sure you install screens, use mosquito netting over all beds, and take precautions. [**MALARIA]
