Two Years Ago Today I Was Headed Into An Operating Room

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Exactly two years ago, I ignored a growing, intense pain in my abdomen for about 24 hours, because I felt that I could not afford to take a break from all the work I had to do. Only when I was passing out from the pain did I have to be strapped into an ambulance and rushed into surgery because my appendix had ruptured. I ignored it and ignored it until I was in a life threatening situation. That was so dumb of me. I wish I could say two years later I was working less …

The Good News About Trauma Recovery

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Is there good news with trauma? Actually, yes. The largest meta-analysis to date on trauma recovery (looking at data from over 11,000 relevant medical studies) suggests that the best long term recovery after trauma is simply talking about it, no medication required. Published in JAMA Psychiatry on June 12, 2019, reasearchers looked at direct comparisons between talk therapy (psychotherapy) and drug therapy (pharmacological treatments) in patients with PTSD. They found that in the long term, talk therapy helped more, being slightly superior to drug therapy both immediately following treatment and in long term follow up. The studies …

Is Your Job Driving You Crazy? You Are Not Alone. Here’s Help.

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, published in Lancet Psychiatry on May 10, 2018 , suggests that occupation alone might cause as many as one out of every 7 new cases of depression, anxiety, and other common mental disorders.

We also know during times of chronic stress, hair can become markedly thinner, falling out strand by strand or in clumps, even clogging your shower …
