Answer by jannsody
I believe that you’re referring to a licensed substance abuse counselor. One may need to take college-level math while in college which may include statistics, however, I don’t believe that a counseling or social work student will need the rigorous type of mathematics such as calculus. The person majoring in counseling or social work needs to have empathy (being able to place oneself in another’s shoes) for the individual with the addiction. Communication skills and reasoning are also traits necessary for effective therapists.

Question by RaWr!: What does “tobacco use txmnt counseling” mean on medicare bill?
A relative went to her hearing doctor and on the medicare summary notice they had listed
1.0 tobacco use assessed(1000F)
1.0 Tobacco use txmnt counseling(4000F-8P)

She has never smoked in her life, and she didn’t get this kind of test or whatever it is at her appointment. What does this mean and why was it claimed? Also, there is no charge for it.
Also, what actions did you take to solve this?

Question by ._.: What are you suppose to do if you feel you have nothing to live for?
I have depression, I have anxiety disorder… My parents won’t help me with it, for years now I’ve been trying to get them to help me get treatment, I cry every night and contemplate suicide and cut myself. Most of the time I don’t really know why. I just don’t feel like I have anything to live for anymore. I am truly convinced that if things don’t get better for me in the next few months I will for sure, absolutely kill myself. All of my friends are just…unhelpful or mean… I just want to meet some energetic happy people to be around. My family, besides my parents and aunts and uncles is pretty much gone and I don’t really even talk to them. My brother hates me. Most of my family thinks I’m a brat…when really I’d like to think i’m nice to everyone… all I do all day is stay inside by myself because my parents are at work and its driving me insane. Also whenever I tell my parents I want to do something with my summer, or my life in general, they put it down. I say I wanna join a club…a sport…or even get a job and they just laugh and say no like I’m out of my mind. I’m like guys, I SIT INSIDE ALL DAY. Wouldn’t it be nice for me to do something productive? When I do nothing all day, I get even MORE depressed with my life…
