Dramatic Health and HealthTheater.com™ Launch New Videos on Timely Topics Featuring Real Patient Stories and Acclaimed Healthcare Professionals.
New video offerings address the relationship between Facebook and depression as well as the ambiguous imaging results that can confound diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
NEW YORK, May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dramatic Health, Inc. (DHI) today announces the launch of compelling new video production series and opportunities for viewers to share comments and experiences on its consumer-facing site, HealthTheater.com, touching on such timely topics as how Facebook contributes to depression and how the complexities of diagnostic imaging such as MRIs can confound the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
"HealthTheater.com is a health and wellness community centered around engaging videos that tell people's health stories alongside their families, friends, and healthcare professionals. These stories are from the frontlines of health and wellness," said Dramatic Health Co-Founder and CEO, Sean T. Moloney. "Seeing is believing and video has the ability to help educate and inspire people in ways that go beyond words and pictures alone. Few health websites devote themselves to this opportunity in the way HealthTheater.com does."
One of the most intriguing topics currently featured on HealthTheater.com is the connection between Facebook and depression. "I really do believe that Facebook and social media definitely contribute to feelings of sadness and judgment," states Jasmin Terrany, LMHC, one of the many practicing healthcare professionals whose expertise and opinions are featured on HealthTheater.com. In "Facebook and Depression," part of the Life Therapy series on HealthTheater.com, Terrany discusses how people on Facebook may question their own self-worth and compare themselves unfavorably to others, leading to stressful levels of negative thinking.
Another important topic now being addressed on HealthTheater.com is the potential difficulty of diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) based on diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In "Mystery Diagnosis," part of the MS Series on HealthTheater.com, Harvard Medical School Fellow and MS Researcher Dr. Konstantin Balashov explains how other disorders can mimic MS, clinically or even on MRI, including Lyme disease, syphilis, HIV, lupus, and Vitamin B12 deficiency. Dr. Balashov underscores the importance of working with your doctor to rule out these other disorders before reaching a diagnosis.
Also popular with viewers on HealthTheater.com is the yoga series, in which highly credentialed yoga instructor Lana Masor introduces the physical, spiritual, and mental health benefits of Vinyasa yoga. "I think yoga is becoming more and more popular because people are finally realizing the benefits that it can bring to the body as well as the mind," says Masor, adding, "for the first time in a long time, doctors of Western medicine are suggesting it as a practice to their patients as a way to heal the body."
