» Dear Doctors: My 22-year-old son is severely bipolar, which impacts his life terribly. I have kept up with the studies that have shown success in treating bipolar with a faecal transplant. Do you know of any open studies right now that might take my son? We would travel anywhere to get it done.

Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 29/04/2025
» DEAR DOCTORS: I started taking meds for depression. When I let my doctor know at my last visit, he told me about a study that says running also helps with depression symptoms. Do you know anything about that? Maybe if I try running, I can stop taking these meds.

Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 05/12/2023

He's a lot better physically -- but lately, he's depressed. Why does that happen? My kids and I are so worried about him.

Life, Dr Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 29/08/2023
» DEAR DOCTORS: Sometimes when I get nervous, my stomach will knot up and start to ache. Sometimes I even get diarrhoea, which is embarrassing. Why does that happen? Should I see a doctor? I'd like to know about any natural remedies that might help, and also any medications.
Abnormal sleep behaviours may require medical intervention
Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 22/08/2023
» DEAR DOCTORS: My boyfriend says that lately I've been talking in my sleep and sometimes acting out my dreams. One time I actually hit him. He says it may be something called an REM sleep behaviour disorder. This has been kind of scary, and I would like it to stop. Would going to a sleep clinic help?
Why do we get nightmares?
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 02/01/2023

Being in natural light improves mood, increases happiness
Life, Dr Eve Glazier and Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 29/03/2022
» DEAR DOCTORS: My company called the employees back to the office, and I'm dreading it. There aren't many windows, and it's all fluorescent lights. Being able to be outdoors while working from home has been great. I know I'm less depressed when I get to be in daylight. Is there any science behind that?
