Are You Suffering with Social Phobia???
Dr. Teeth 20 March, 2008
(5) Comment Diagnostic Criteria for Social Phobia
A marked and persistent fear of social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to scrutiny by others. The individual often fears that he will act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing.
Exposure to the feared situation almost invariably provokes anxiety, which may take the form of a panic attack.
The person recognizes that the fear is excessive or unreasonable.
The feared situations are avoided or endured with intense distress.
The avoidance, anxious anticipation, or distress in the feared situations interferes with normal functioning or causes marked distress.
The duration of symptoms is at least six months.
The fear is caused by a substance or medical condition, and is not caused by another disorder.

Brain Appetite: Chocolate and SEX
Dr. Teeth 6 January, 2008
(3) Comment Forget crosswords. If you really want to boost your brain power, eat dark chocolate, consume cold meat and have plenty of sex, if possible every day.
A team of international researchers has carried out a study and found that while dark chocolate and plenty of cold meat for breakfast boost grey matter, sex keeps the brain fit in later life, the Daily Mail reported.
According to the study, those wishing to improve their mental ability should also avoid smoking cannabis, watching soap operas and hanging out with those who moan.
Instead, cuddling a baby, cheating at homework, reading out loud and doing a business degree can boost their mind power. The theories of the researchers are contained in the book Teach Yourself: Training Your Brain.
