Natural Remedies For Brain Damage After Drug Abuse?
My older brother has done many drugs from about 16-21. Its been a year since his last use, and he’s been having some serious problems. He has high anxiety and he’s been having frequent episodes of "weird" (as he calls it) feelings. He doesn’t label it as feeling sick. During these episodes he feels jittery, emotional (even cry’s sometimes) out of control, his heart rate goes up. This also causes him to have insomnia. Maybe they’re panic attacks, but the thing is, what triggers it? This occurs randomly on a normal day. We believe its typical withdrawal symptoms, because he abused quite a few drugs. (Marijuana, cigarettes, ecstasy, crystal meth, shrooms, hookah, cocaine, inhalants, "uppers" (as he calls them))
He has gone to see his doctor several times to get treatment, and his doctor said he has migraines.
-____-
He prescribed him anti depressants and that didn’t help my brother AT ALL.
He does this herbal drop treatment (echinacea, other oils, etc) That help him sleep.
Now we’re trying to find him herbal remedies that would help repair his brain damage from all of the abuse he has done to it.
Thank you very much.

DVT and long haul flights (24 hours plus). What's the risk?
My son (aged 17) is flying to Australia from the UK for a rugby tour. He’s fit and healthy and I’ve told him to walk around, wiggle his toes etc to keep his circulation going. In the following 3 weeks he’ll have several long flights around Australia too and then, of course, the flight home.
What do frequent long haul flyers do in this situation?
Is it advisable to take half an aspirin to prevent blood clotting before flights?
I just have this fear that he’ll get on the rugby pitch and drop dead from an undiagnosed DVT on the move.
Any thoughts?
Mental health, please help?
I have a two year course and to be honest I was never happy about doing the level 3. I had to do it because my family can’t afford to have two of us doing nothing; my brother looking for a job. I’m falling behind because I feel depressed, I hate the course
Everyday I go in I feel like crying all the time, and at home. I can’t do anything about it because if I quit i’ll get shouted at everyday.
D:
Sorry miss worded this It sounds like i’m doing a mental health course lol. I’m a business student but I’m having a mental break down doing the course.
What are some natural/herbal remedies for anxiety and depression?
I have some bad anxiety problems at times, and also suffer from slight depression. But I don’t want to take any serious drugs because I’m afraid of having to rely on it for the rest of my life while also suffering from side effect and other health problems they cause over time. I also have ADD but again, don’t want to take adderall or anything like it because I tend to either get addicted or have to raise the dosage even higher to keep getting the effect, and then when I stop taking it I get horrible anxiety. Can anyone help me with some suggestions for herbal/natural supplements? I just started st johns wort but if there’s anything else I can do I’d like to know.
