Authored by Lisa Cosgrove of the Harvard Center for Ethics, a recent statistical analysis of studies assessing the relationship between breast and ovarian cancer and antidepressant drug use finds possible link.
Are you one of the thousands of women currently taking antidepressants? A recent review indicates that these medications are not risk free, particularly for women.
The analysis of published studies suggests a link between breast and ovarian cancer and antidepressant drug usage. The review, which found an 11 percent increased risk overall in both breast and ovarian cancer for patients taking such medication, points to a need for further investigation, particularly since the results varied widely depending on who funded the research.

As my eyes opened, I knew where I was — the ICU of Rush-Copley Medical Center. It was early — the room was dark, but a nurse at the Aurora hospital was talking to me, checking my vitals. I had just spent the last 36 hours fighting for my life.

Progesterone, a natural human hormone made by the ovaries, has multiple roles in balancing the effects of estrogen upon the human body. Additionally, progesterone ensures the survival of the embryo and fetus in the uterus, maintains insulin in the body, supports sex drive, prevents breast tissue overgrowth and protects against cystic diseases to mention just a few of its many functions.
Serious side effects are quite rare with natural progesterone cream, making it one of the preferred means of hormone therapy. For a thorough understanding on natural progesterone cream’s side effects, uses, indications and risk factors, it is best to consult a doctor before using it.

About Hormone Levels
Progesterone is a naturally occuring female hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands and the corpus luteum of the ovary. This hormone: 1) prevents breast cancer and cancer of the reproductive system by opposing the effects of estrogen; 2) protects women from osteoporosis by stimulating bone building; 3) helps control abnormal menstrual bleeding; 4) enhances hormone balance, as it is a precursor to other steroid hormones, and; 5) helps prevent symptoms of PMS if used during anovulatory months.

Because of the connections between the nervous and endocrine systems, (e.g., hypothalamic involvement in mood determination, and the effects of thyroid and ovarian hormonal imbalances on mood) it is thought that endocrine dysfunction is a potential cause of bipolar disorders. Though this may not be a surprising conclusion, it is nevertheless a difficult one to establish scientifically. It has proven difficult to determine whether endocrine dysfunction is a cause of bipolar disorder or an effect.

Anxiety disorders are characterized by an overwhelming sense of apprehension. Sometimes such apprehension may become constant. Numerous physical symptoms may accompany anxiety with over 100 physical anxiety symptoms reported, including muscle tightness, heart palpitations, chest tightness/pain, dizziness, numbness, tingling, and electric shock feelings. Anxiety disorders often tend to progress to what is called a panic disorder and panic attacks. The Mayo Clinic definition of a panic attack is: “A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that develops for no apparent reason and that triggers severe physical reactions. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you`re losing control, having a heart attack or even dying.” That is why it is common for a person experiencing a panic attack to feel that death is imminent. Fortunately, there are some good natural solutions to combat anxiety and panic symptoms.
