Dieting personality
Interesting, I took the dieting personality & knw whats the result? Caloric!! Eewss
Your Results
Your diet personality: Caloric
Cutting back on your calorie intake can help you lose weight, but never overdo it: Skipping meals and embarking on very low calorie diets can backfire. "As soon as you start eating a great deal less than you regularly do, your body will respond by going into its conservation mode," explains Dr. Stephanie Dalvit-McPhillips, author of The Right Bite. This manner of operating includes a slower metabolic rate, temporarily reducing the rate at which your body burns calories and fat. "Not only will you find it increasingly difficult to lose body fat on a very low-cal diet, your body fat will increase more rapidly than ever when you go back to eating normally," adds Dalvit-McPhillips.
Healthy eating and regular exercise are really the best way for long-term weight loss: Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that people who are successful at maintaining weight loss are the ones who eat a dietary pattern very similar to that recommended by nutritionists – with most calories in the form of complex carbohydrates, less than 30 percent of calories from fat, and about 20 percent of calories from protein – and stay physically active.

New hope for MDD
http://health.asiaone.com/Health/News/Story/A1Story20110418-274217.html
Sometimes, it's scary to take new medications but upon hearing there's good news, it just made me feel better. New medications - having lesser side effects (eg: sexual dysfunction, drownsiness...etc) & no tapering off dosage required if discontinued.
It works on melatonin rather than serotonin. I wonder one would know whether they have serotonin syndrome or not when taking SSRIs/ SNRIs for a long period of time, especially for years?
Agomelatine sounds better choice for me. It works on sleep cycle & hormones (females hormones changes during PMS).

Stresses doctors faced
Extracted from: http://www.sma.org.sg/smj/3911/articles/3911me1.html
2. Handling difficult patients: Patients may have a strong emotional response towards the doctor (transference) and arouse similarly strong responses from the doctor (counter-transference). Underlying these are the patterns of relationships with key people early in the person’s life. For example a doctor may "remind" a patient of his domineering and authoritarian father provoking a hostile reaction. Difficult patients may "unload" their negative emotions onto the doctor (projection) or require persistent reassurance and "downloading" from the doctor. Both reflect the interplay of the needs and psyche of the patient and doctor. More often than not, hostile reactions are not personal attacks but projections of anger towards an accessible and convenient target. Doctors need to avoid becoming receptacles for these and other strong negative emotions by stepping back mentally and asking themselves, "Why am I feeling like this towards this patient?" (and/or vice-versa). Problems occur when doctors go to extremes, either becoming overly concerned and responsible, or angry and abrupt.
Stress in women doctors
"I feel stressed. Most of my energy goes to my work _ treating patients and supervising juniors. The worse things are the workload and the inflexibility. I get back home and my two young children fight for my attention. Sometimes I’m so tired I’m asleep by 8.30pm. I have to come in to hospital almost every day. Squeezing one day’s work into half on Saturday leaves me dead tired when I’m finished. I’m worn out after a few months, but two days of leave refreshes me. I would definitely prefer part time work but it doesn’t seem to be available."
No wonder Dr Lee oso told me before few times she oso feels stressful.
