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.
Apnea can accompany end-stage shock. Apnea can also be due to a variety of traumatic causes, such as chest trauma that results in a collapsed lung or hemopneumothorax. Depending on the cause, apnea can be short-term and disappear quickly, such as when apnea occurs when a person voluntary holds the breath.
