To go to your doctor for fifteen minutes once a month, receive a prescription and go to a separate therapist twice a week with a total monthly co-payment of $100 and still feel anxious, down and depressed or would you, instead, prefer to go to one doctor one hour a month with full payment of $300 and notice the difference as your problem resolves and you feel well again?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forbes recently published The World’s Happiest Places. Denmark followed by Finland and the Netherlands rated at the top of the list.

While economic health defined as high gross domestic product per capita and low unemployment rates were common factors in people experiencing well-being, other countries that were in the top ten did not match this trait. Instead, other lifestyle characteristics prompted people to feel satisfied with their lives.

Although there are nature-related factors that impact on our ability to experience happiness and joy, a favorable environment with people who enjoy their lives will prompt others to have a positive experience.

A new drug named Banzel™ (rufinamide) has recently been approved as an adjunct treatment for a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).

For years, doctors have known that when pregnant women took the antiseizure medication valproate, which is the second-most-popular antiseizure medication, their unborn children face an increased risk of developmental delays and major malformations.

Now, a study published in the April 16, 2009 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine found that pregnant women [...]]]></description>
