Mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, depression, or schizophrenia rarely appear out of nowhere. A common characteristic of mental health issues is that they affect your personality, thought processes and social behavior. It can be tough to diagnose mental illness when it is not detected early. However, learning about warning signs and developing symptoms can help reduce the severity of the illness. The following are hidden signs of mental health issues you should be aware of. If any symptoms describe what you have been feeling the past days or weeks, seek help.

Prevagen, a drug that has been recommended to improve memory and brain function, contains a calcium-binding protein also found in jellyfish. Jellyfish is a traditional Asian (especially Chinese) crunchy food sold in groceries. It is sliced and packed with salt. Directions say to soak it for 1/2 hr to remove the salt and season with sliced carrots, celery, cucumber, and rice wine. A low calorie, high protein food — containing mostly water and protein–with no claims for improving memory. Articles recommend no more than 2 meals per week of jellyfish. Overuse might provoke cancer. It’s a nice light snack. Prevagen on the other hand is a pill with test results (on rat brains) done for and reported by the manufacturer.

The sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, when inflamed sends shooting, hot, electric pain down the leg–sciatica. It is aggravated by humid, heavy weather which makes joints swell and pinches nerves. A rich diet (cheese, grains, meats, alcohol or food allergies), springtime humidity and sedentary habits make it feel worse. Here is a complete, successful treatment of sciatica with Acupuncture by Dr. Lili Wu who is located in Brooklyn and in Manhattan at 420 West 24th street #1D. Phone: 212 741 6674.

I add an ounce of the fuschia-colored juice to a half glass of water and taste Coolaide from my childhood. Immediately I get recipe ideas: Nopalea ice cubes and popsickles for adults and kids. A treat for people with diabetes, pain, low energy. The juice ingredients are zillions of fruit enzymes–cherry, papaya–but mainly juice from nopal cactus, a desert panacea. Pure, clean, safe, filled with sunshine from the Sonoran desert. . .A swallow of phlegm descends in my throat as I breathe down to the navel. When was the last time I breathed so well? The walk through the southwest desert with my sister. Something cracked into place in my middle back. Soon I am turning my neck around, everything is falling into a better place. Pain leaves as the body detoxifies and energy is refreshed. I can hardly wait to enjoy the benefits of Nopalea for my complexion, energy, and joints after using this health beverage for a month.
