Using SPECT imaging, weâve discovered that depression and anxiety, like many other psychiatric conditions, are not just single or simple disorders, but rather there are 7 different types based on different patterns in the brain, and each requires its own treatment.
Apnea: Introduction. Apnea is a cessation or pause in breathing. Very short episodes of apnea can be normal, and a person can induce voluntary, short-term apnea by holding one's breath. However, apnea can also be a symptom of a variety of mild to serious disorders, diseases or conditions.

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) delivers air into your airway through a specially designed nasal mask or pillows. The flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to keep your airway open. CPAP is considered the most effective nonsurgical treatment for snoring and sleep apnea.
