causal association

a noxious agent is said to have a causal association with a particular disease when it can be shown that it plays some role in producing the occurrence of the disease. Generally both biological information and statistical information are combined to infer causal associations.

causal inference

preliminary diagnosis.

causal modeling

construction of models which set out the various relationships between causal agents and the initiation of a disease.

Patient discussion about causal.

Q. how is depression caused by having cancer treated? I mean not only the patient, also the family members who tend to get depressed by the situation. how can you treat thi skind of depression?

A. i agree with cbellh47!
i also want to add that a group therapy can really help in those situations. to see how other people dealing with it and that you are not alone can give you a lot of hope.

Q. can serious mood fluctuations be caused in young men by anything else but bipolar? My brother is suffering (well we are suffering it as well...) some serious moods. It's not like he's just upset or anything like that. He has never acted this way. It has been really hard to communicate with him lately and I'm worried. no way to get him checked, he's unwilling. We dont have bipolar in the family, well, yet. any suggestions?

A. The picture you describe may result from many causes. Does he use drugs or anything like that? Does he have hard time these days at work/school/home etc? It may cause different moods. Schizophrenia may present in way similar to what you describe. In my opinion, consulting a professional (e.g. a psychiatrist, because it's not really feasible to diagnose it based on your 5-lines description) may be wise, It's not necessarily bipolar, if that's what you ask.

Take care

Q. I read that fibromyalgia is caused by psychological abuse from a family member. Is that connection possible? My brother’s daughter who is staying abroad for studies recently diagnosed for Fibromyalgia. I read that fibromyalgia is caused by psychological abuse from a family member or someone close to them. I doubt something like that has happened to her. Is that connection possible?

A. "Fibromyalgia is a common and complex chronic pain disorder.While underlying cause or causes of FM still remain a mystery new reaserch findings continue to understand the basic mechansisms of fibromyalgia. Most researchers agree that FM is a disorder of the central processing with neuroendocrine/neurotransmitter dysregulation.The FM patient experiences pain ampliification due to abnormal sensory processing in the central nervous system. Recent studies show that factors may predispose individuals to a genetic susceptibility to FM.For some the onset is slow, however, in alarge percentage patients the onset is triggered by an illness or injury that causes trama to the body. " This is a shortened summary from a Professor of Medicine, Oregon Health Sciences University.
I don't feel this is what triggered her fibromyalgia BUT depression over something that happen could trigger problems with her fibromyalgia. If you suspect so,ething talk to her and urge her to seek help deali
