Depression Medication and Health Insurance - Getting Prescription Coverage

Zoloft is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) specifically designed to treat depression, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD. This medication has proven to be very effective when it is taken accordingly, but can often cause problems for some people. It’s not the side effects or drug interactions that most people worry about, but the lack of health insurance coverage for this medication and others like it. Many states have created laws to require private insurance coverage for mental health treatment, but they have not been effective at convincing insurance companies that covering anti-psychotic medications is a good idea.

Too many insurance companies see this as a risk that they cannot afford, and will deny prescription coverage to people taking Zoloft and other prescriptions for mental health disorders. What is even worse is that some companies will increase health insurance rates or drop customers if they present with serious mental health disorders because it puts them at a risk level that insurance companies aren’t able to handle. If you are already taking anti-depressants, you need to make sure that you find an insurance company that will accept you.

The medical history

You certainly can’t lie about your medical history. That’s insurance fraud. However, you need to make sure that you are getting the healthcare coverage that you need without compromising your health because an insurance company doesn’t like antidepressants. Group health insurance plans that you get through an employer seem to be much more accepting of mental health issues …

Healthy Weight Loss For Moms – More Reasons To Eat Broccoli

May 11, 2019July 3, 2019 - by Ray McFarren

I do not like broccoli, I have never liked broccoli and I do not believe that I ever will actually like broccoli. That does not stop me eating it; first my mother and now my wife have made sure that broccoli is included in my diet, at least occasionally. I have now learned some facts to back up why moms through the ages have insisted on our ‘eating up the greens’, especially broccoli.

I understand that there are many reasons why we should eat broccoli, along with other ‘cruciferous’ vegetables such as cabbage, kale, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Their part in healthy balanced weight loss diets has been accepted for many years. I have now found a very scientifically convincing argument, to persuade me to make the effort and eat more of some of these foods.

It would appear that among the many undesirable substances which are present in our environment, there is a group of chemicals which find their way into our food chain. They are known as xenoestrogens and they have been found to alter our hormone balances.

One of the effects of these changes, is to encourage your system to store fat. This fat is almost always stored where you would not want it to be, such as in the belly area. So how can broccoli help?

I see this as another great example of science backing up what mom …
