It’s disturbing when you become aware that your partner is abusing alcohol. Chances are the abuse and awareness both developed slowly and only when things got far out of control, did you notice. Most of us are good at not looking until we’re forced to, it’s called denial and mostly it’s a healthy coping mechanism. However, with some conditions it’s counterproductive. This is one of those conditions.
So, you have now awakened to the fact that there is an alcohol problem. What triggered this new awareness - bail requests, DUI’s, bounced checks, etc. - doesn’t really matter. You can, of course, delay doing anything productive by simply wrangling about these symptoms of alcohol abuse. Most people do, usually for years.

Kidney Stones (Renal calculi) are solid aggregations of minerals in urine, which form inside the kidneys. They are a common and extremely agonizing condition which can cause symptoms such as pain in the abdominal area, nausea and vomiting. In most cases, Kidney Stones pass through the body naturally without the need for intervention (possibly in the form of surgery). However, if the kidney stones grow greater than 3-4mm in diameter, complications can arise, and surgery may be the only option (however, this is rare).

“Learn from your mistakes,” our parents used to constantly remind us. But did we learn from this credo over the past centuries of surgeries?
Thousands of years ago, Egyptians performed basic surgeries which were comparable to a common day butcher butchering his meat.
In the past centuries, doctors would drill a hole into the skull of deaf patients hoping to provide the patient with the ability to hear.
In recent time, doctors remove an organ (gallbladder) hoping to find the cure for gallstones.

The symptoms of depression are characterized not only by negative thoughts, moods, and behaviors, but also by specific physical bodily functions. These signs and symptoms include:
-excessive sleeping
-early morning waking
-crying spells
-decreased sex drive or desire
-weight gain
-general body aches, headaches, muscle pains
-sadness
-lack of enjoyment from things that were once pleasurable
-feelings of hopelessness
-difficulty concentrating
-difficulty making decisions
-thoughts of death, suicide, or self-mutilation
Depression is typically first diagnosed by a primary care physician and often the diagnosis is missed, because the symptoms may be vague and not clear cut. In addition, all experts agree that depression is often under treated.
