Losing your hair can be a traumatic experience. A 2013 study from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin -- one of the largest and most prestigious teaching hospitals in Europe -- found that hair loss can have a devastating impact on an individual, and could even cause body dysmorphic disorder. Now, Men's interest site Man Cave Daily is likening the experience of losing one's hair to the Kübler-Ross model, which is more commonly known as the Five Stages of Grief. According to the site, the five stages of hair loss are denial, resentment, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Initially, men deny that they're losing their hair, thinking it'll just pass and that they're not actually losing their hair permanently. Eventually, once men realize that their hair isn't coming back, they begin...

Researchers recently discovered a new way to diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, in patients. According to an August 14 PsychCentral article, researchers at Tel Aviv University have found that monitoring involuntary eye movements in patients is an accurate way to diagnose ADHD.

It is also the most diagnosed and misdiagnosed disorder in the U.S., according to PsychCentral. "Often my ADHD coaching clients are misdiagnosed and they end up taking medication for something they don't have," says Coach Juli of CoachJuli.com. "It makes sense that rapid eye movements would be a sign since the ADHD brain is typi...

The City of Copenhagen, located in Denmark, has decided to use their city as a huge experiment, in order to figure out whether energy efficient street lamps -- also called smart lights -- will actually help cut carbon emissions on a measurable level.

Although bug-spray manufacturers are not required to change their labels, if they do want to showcase the new graphic, they will need to submit data to the government showing that the product will actually work for as long as the graphic claims ...

If you haven't checked out your homeowner's policy within the last six months, you may be in for a less-than-pleasant surprise from a potentially expensive new deductible sneaking it's way into many policies.Most homeowners write one deductible into their policy, set anywhere from 250$ to $1,000 depending on how much the homeowner is willing to pay.
