Q: Your regular physician is a good first step if you suspect you have mild depression. Some illnesses, especially those related to the thyroid or other parts of the body’s hormone system, cause depressive symptoms. Other medical conditions, especially terminal or chronic conditions, may carry also a risk for depressive symptoms. In these cases, your doctor can help you understand the source of your symptoms and how to alleviate them. Engaging in psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” can be very beneficial for treating mild depression. Depending on your specific needs, you might try to find a certain type of mental health professional, including counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, or licensed professional counselors. If you have mild depression, it’s likely you’d visit with a counselor first.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychologists focus on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short- or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed. Counselors ask questions and listen to what you have to say. The counselor will be an objective observer helping you to identify significant ideas and to discuss them in greater detail. This will help you work out emotional and environmental issues that may contribute to your depression.  Clinical psychologists: These psychologists are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and, therefore, tend to focus more psychopathology. Clinical psychologists are also trained to use a wide range of therapeutic techniques.  Psychiatrists: Psychiatrists may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice. They are typically seen when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication. You may see more than one kind of therapist, depending on your needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy and behavioral psychotherapies consistently show benefits to patients.   Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): The goal of CBT is to challenge and change beliefs, attitudes and preconceptions thought to underlie depressive symptoms and effect change to maladaptive behaviors.  Interpersonal therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on life changes, social isolation, deficits in social skills and other interpersonal issues that may contribute to depressive symptoms. IPT may be particularly effective if a specific event, such as a death, triggered a recent depressive episode.  Behavioral therapies: These types of therapies aim to schedule enjoyable activities while minimizing unpleasant experiences through techniques such as activity scheduling, self-control therapy, social skills training and problem solving. Consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or contact your doctor for help finding a counselor. The Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards provides basic information about how to choose a therapist, your state's licensure requirements and how to check whether someone is licensed. Other professional associations, such as the American Psychological Association, may provide search functions for locating practitioners in your area. Your visits with a counselor should be covered by your health insurance. Although mental illnesses are legally required to be covered to the same extent as physical illnesses, the type of insurance you have can still affect the type and amount of therapy you receive. Be sure to check with your insurance company so that you get any referrals needed before starting treatment and that you see someone who will accept your insurance and will be paid by your insurance company. Anti-depressants affect the neurotransmitter system of the brain to try to counteract problems in how neurotransmitters are made and/or used by the brain.  Some professionals feel that anti-depressants are over-prescribed and are not very effective for treating mild depression. Some studies show that anti-depressants are most effective for severe or chronic depression.  Medication can be a good method to improve your mood and help you benefit more fully from psychotherapy. For many people, short-term treatment with anti-depressants can help treat mild depression.
A: Visit your medical doctor. Visit a counselor. Look into different types of therapy. Ask for counselor recommendations. Check with your health insurance. Ask your counselor about anti-depressants.

Article: On a cutting board, cut the squash horizontally into long strips that are between 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick. Add the garlic cloves, and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle. Season with salt and pepper, and then place the squash onto the grill. Add more olive oil if necessary to prevent the squash from sticking to the grill. Squash should be browned and tender when finished. Serve the squash warm as a side dish or allow them to cool before adding them to a salad.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Preheat a grill on medium heat. Pour the olive oil into a small pan and heat under a medium flame. Use a basting brush to coat each slice of squash with the garlic oil. Grill on each side for 5-10 minutes.

Problem: Article: Laser tattoo removal uses heat to break up the ink particles and remove the tattoo. This process sounds easy, but is actually quite expensive and takes a few rounds of treatment to complete.  Laser removal can cost anywhere from $75 to $300 per session, depending on the size of your tattoo.  Some tattoos can take 5 to 20 sessions to remove completely. Local anesthesia or a numbing spray will be used before these procedures. For dermabrasion, a doctor will “sand” the tattoo down to resurface the skin. It's not as effective as dermaplaning, in which a doctor will use a tool called a dermatome to “shave” the skin down until a new layer, with no tattoo, is reached. Most tattoos are quite deep and as a result these procedures often result in permanent scarring. It will take a few weeks for the redness, swelling, and soreness to heal. Some small tattoos can be removed surgically by cutting out the tattoo and then sewing the skin back together. Larger tattoos may require a skin graft to replace the excised skin. This method is the most invasive and has minor side effects, including:  Infection Skin discoloration Incomplete removal of pigment Scarring
Summary: Try laser tattoo removal. Remove a tattoo with dermabrasion or dermaplaning. Consider surgical excision.

Q: Interrogatories are a chance for either party to a lawsuit to get information from the other party by asking questions. However, there are some limits to what can be done with interrogatories, and if your opponent goes too far, don’t be afraid to raise an objection. If you are working with an attorney, he will probably point out the objections first. But if you have concerns, ask him about it. Each interrogatory is supposed to ask only one question. If the interrogatory raises multiple questions in one, this may be grounds to object. An example of an impermissibly compound objection would be, "Name each person who was present at the accident, and for each person describe what he or she saw, give that person's address and work experience, and provide a history of the repairs that you have had done on the car." If possible, interpret each question in a way that can be answered. But if, no matter how you try, you cannot make sense of a question or find a way to give a specific answer, then object. For example, if the question asks, “When did he do it?” without any more specification, you need to object because you cannot be expect to know who “he” is or what “it” is. For example, if a question asks, "What did the passenger in your car say when you ran through the red light?" is objectionable if it is not clear that you did run through the light. Interrogatories must ask questions that are, at the very least, relevant to the case. Any question that asks for too much detail that goes beyond the scope of the lawsuit is objectionable. For example, if you are in a contract dispute case regarding a specific purchase, and you are given an interrogatory that says, “Please identify your annual income for the past three years and provide copies of tax returns,” this would be objectionable. Your income probably has nothing to do with the contract in question. If you are represented by an attorney, then he or she, in fact, will be the one who is technically making the objections. Your role is to provide answers to questions. The attorney's role is to make legal objections.
A:
Object when you need to. Dispute questions that are impermissibly compound. Contest questions that are vague, ambiguous or unintelligible. Challenge questions that assume facts that are not proven. Object to questions that are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant, admissible evidence. Ask your attorney about any objections that you consider.
