#WTF is FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Really?

This acronym has recently made news headlines and is increasingly gracing the landing pages of popular psychology and health sites. It’s continually bandied about on daytime TV and teens seem to Tweet it more often than the @ sign. But what does FOMO really mean? I don’t mean literally. We’ve got that covered: FOMO is a term coined to describe the Fear of Missing Out in relation to what one sees (or perceives) others are doing, particularly via social networks, or the nagging sensation that there is something happening somewhere that you are not a part of.

Are you frustrated by employees who don’t perform as well as expected? It may be time to take a look at your leadership style.

Bioidentical Hormones And Aging Gracefully

There's a lot of hype around bioidentical hormones these days. Hormone treatments promise to diminish the signs of aging and maintain youthfulness longer than thought possible 20 years ago. Hormone replacement therapy has been in use since the 1930's, helping women overcome some of the discomforts associated with menopause, but these days doctors recognize that men go through hormonal changes that are equally disconcerting. These hormonal changes are known as “andropause” for men.

Cialis, OTC, and Men

I love men. I mean, I actually went and married one, and I am delighted. I understand their senses of “maleness” are sometimes a bit more fragile with women challenging them on absolutely every front imaginable. But they still do quite well. I absolutely love them. I may have simply seen more male patients than a lot of psychiatrists. When I started my psychiatric residency, it was estimated that 70% of all psychiatric patients were female. The obvious exception was where I spent a fair amount, of my career to date, in the Department of Veterans Affairs medical system.

Facilitating Narcissism

"The new narcissist is haunted not by guilt but by anxiety. He seeks not to inflict his own certainties on others but to find a meaning in life. Liberated from the superstitions of the past, he doubts even the reality of his own existence. Superficially relaxed and tolerant, he finds little use for dogmas of racial and ethnic purity but at the same time forfeits the security of group loyalties and regards everyone as a rival for the favours conferred by a pate alistic state.

Healthy Weight Loss, How Do You Do It?

There are so many weight loss programs around that is it not surprising that people get confused. It is confusing based upon all the advertising that shows up everywhere and in most cases has nothing to do with providing you with healthy weight loss. Is advertising working and what are we actually eating you might wonder. The disturbances in many weight loss programs are due to the carbohydrate in the diet beyond your tolerance. The Americans have an apt name for this diet: they call it "SAD-CRAP": Standard American Diet-Cereals Refined and Processed.

What does it mean to be a man or a woman in todayâs society? None of us can fit into a neat, tiny, little, stereotypical box based on anything, including our gender. How do we define gender and how are these roles presented in literature? Often, many of our favorite characters defy gender stereotypes and thus, are more three-dimensional, more human, and more relatable.

Now it seems regardless of the amount of money we accumulate, the size of our families or the prestige we have: if we are not constantly enjoying our life we do not consider ourselves to be successful.

Most of us are born into a family group. As children we accept our family culture as the way a family is supposed to be. We have no source of reference, so developmentally what we experience in the family is what we assume the whole world experiences. If a child lives with alcoholic parents or parents who suffer from depression or uncontrolled rage, that is the norm. If a child is born into a family where a parent is not emotionally available to them that is their norm. And if a child had a loving parent that anticipated their every need that would be their norm.
