My Family Doctor
A family practitioner for over 25 years, Dr. Hubbard knows the medical world inside and out. Frustrated by managed care and the lack of time doctors were able to spend educating patients, he launched James Hubbard's My Family Doctor: The Magazine That Makes Housecalls, a national magazine written by health care practitioners that is his answer to hurried doctor visits, conflicting medical studies, and complicated treatment options.
Quirky or Psychiatrist-Worthy?
How to tell if you have a problem
This week, we’re featuring one of my favorite articles, Are You Normal? The Difference Between Quirks and Mental Illness. In it, you get to play psychiatrist. Four fictional people briefly tell their stories, and you decide whether they need help. Then, a real psychiatrist gives you his opinion.
It’s an eye-opening article that answers interesting questions like these:
- If you hear voices, do you have schizophrenia?
- If your friends think you’re obsessively neat, might you have OCD?
- And what do panic attacks really feel like?
After you read the article, tell us what your score was! Did you guess right?
