All tag results for 'illness'

No amount of genetic testing on a monster's body is going to bring back all the innocent lives lost in Newtown, but it just might help prevent others from occurring.

Whether your stance lands somewhere between a gun ban or giving guns to everyone, we think we're pretty okay with science taking a crack at it. We're just afraid that there will be a knee jerk reaction if they think they find something. Plus, what happens if they don't?

Sometimes you just can't find the reasons in the senseless, no matter how hard you look.

Here's what they might look for, according to someone involved with the plans:

In wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, many people in the nation are rethinking our gun laws.

Federal laws prohibit the sale of firearms to those declared mentally unfit by a court.

A while back, Bill Clinton, when he was President, wanted states to have to report mental health records (and those declared unfit) to the FBI.

The Supreme Court said that that shouldn't be mandatory, and that states can choose to report them if they want.

Most choose to not do the extra work, so only 12 states make up the majority of mental health records in the FBI database.

In this new study, they looked at 6,000+ people. It's no small study. They found that those who internalised their anxiety suffered from raised pulse, and that those who are 'hot tempered' live longer! Over time this results in high blood pressure and an increased chance of developing a wide range of illnesses, from coronary heart disease to cancer and kidney damage. So yeah, get all that stuff off your chest asap!

Here's what the study said, and how they defined repressing:

That's awful!

Catherine Zeta-Jones went public with her bipolar disorder to try and break the stigma of the illness.

It seems like that plan may have backfired and now she's "sick of talking about it."

During an interview with Good Morning America she said:
