Having babies isn’t addictive in the way that alcohol and narcotics can be. But bumpaholics feel compelled to procreate for many of the same reasons that substance abusers turn to booze or drugs.

“Women who are obsessed with being pregnant are literally filling an emptiness inside of them, just as alcoholics and drug addicts use substances to fill a psychological void,” says Beverly Hills psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, M.D. Every one of us at some point encounters this void, adds New York family therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D., author of “Financial Infidelity.” “You want to have a purpose in this world. You want to feel less lonely.”

It’s not hard to understand why: People smile at you, throw you baby showers, buy you lots of gifts. And the rounder your belly gets, the more space you take up in the world, and the more people take notice of you. In many respects, you become impossible to ignore.

And if so, then do you believe that is why Nada Suleman aka -Rude nick name- Octomom, gave birth to so many children?

No NO NO Mommy ofa beautiful baby boy -Congrats by the way- But Nada asked her doc to implant so many of them inside of her, it wasn’t a accident or the correct procedure, I just thought I’d put that out in the open, She actually wanted all them implanted inside of her.

Octomom only had so many children at one time because of fertility treatments. and it is a risk you take when getting those- multiple babies at one time

Why do men think that all women think that healthy responsible men are boring or too nice? There are plenty of women who prefer a healthy, responsible man that will be nice to them. Perhaps you are just trying to mingle with the wrong women?

OOh you could be opening a can of worms on this one!!!
But no i don’t think so. Ylou’re effectively taking away a woman’s right to choose just because she’s pregnant, and that’s just not on! But I can see your point entirely.

Question by luvbeanies: What are some ethical dilemmas in counseling young women who are struggling with eating disorders?
I’m writing a paper on ethics in counseling, and once I get my masters/PhD, I want to counsel young women struggling with eating disorders, self-harm, abuse, addiction, etc… Can you think of any possible ethical dilemmas that might arise?

Best answer:

Answer by Khnopff71
How do you define ‘wellness’ in a patient without unconsciously trying to replicate their lack of judgement in the treatment? In other words, if a girl is making herself sick because of the information (negative) she receives from others, or thinks she receives, how do you not reinforce her lack of personality, since if she had a strong enough personality to begin with, she wouldn’t be under so much outside influence (one that has now been internalized.)

Also, does the term ‘healthy’ also have cultural connotations to it that can affect a strictly medical and psychological determination independent of itself? We say that ‘overweight’ people are ‘unhealthy’ but in what way? Does physical health always overrule mental health?Can an overweight person be happy or is part of why they are unhappy because others have ‘made’ them unhappy, using weight as a means of leverage against their personality? Does ‘diet’, although constructive, also carry unhealthy implications within it that medicine (and psychology) ignore? Can a person of professional weight and authority (and thus of influence over others) maintain a professional distance enough to be able to advise without making a biased judgement, using science and ‘facts’ as a way to avoid other areas of accountability that are no less real, although they might be less ‘factual’?

Obesity and eating-disorders are related, thus thoughts and opinions about the same also are related, since controlled and uncontrolled weight are simply mirror aspects of the same condition. Girls don’t obsess over their weight unless they also obsess over what they could, or do or think they, weigh.

CPS was able to help Rebecca Scheiring straighten her life out after she was still addicted to meth while pregnant with twins. Her boys are now healthy, but new laws may restrict what CPS can do for pregnant women in the future. KXLY4′s Kalae Chock reports.

Dan now has 30 days to vacate his mother’s (Joane Quinn) home. He called her the “B” word one too many times, and she now believes 42 is the ripe age for Dan to get out of the house and spread his wings. Look out world! He also talks of him and his wife using meth while living under his mom’s roof and she turned them into the child welfare dept. Go figure!

Question by @§§: Alcohol good for men but not women? Read on..?
Study showed that men who drank a bit of beer everyday lowered their risk of heart disease. http://www.realbeer.com/news/articles/news-000856.php
but older women who drink alcohol everyday increased their risk of breast cancer by 51%.

http://health.yahoo.com/news/reuters/breastcancer_alcohol_dc.html

There’s also an article somewhere on yahoo about beer lowering heart disease risk, it’d be cool if someone found it.

Best answer:

Answer by Sophia B
That makes sense; men can’t get breast cancer.

But you say older women–were the men also older? And look at the source, too. Beer companies pushing their products as good probably aren’t that trustworthy.
