Discontinuing a medication can have more side affects than the medication itself, keep her on the medication, tell her parents and her doctor and they will help ease her off the medication and then they can try new ones.

Answer:

I should advice my friend to not suspend his medication, because the best scenario is taking them. Also, I would help him to analyse carefully his situation, what are the pros and cons without taking his medication. For example, if he has depression, I would say to him that without meds he will always feel depressed, and one day he could make a bad choice about his own life, or a loved one life. Also, we medication he's able to feel better, helping the brain to produce neurotransmitters like most people.

Besides he doesn't like the side effects, I surely will make him think about what's worse? having side effects or having depressive thoughts and feelings that can lead to a pretty bad result.

What does heat stroke do to the body
Vika [28.1K]

Although heat stroke mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young athletes.

Heat stroke often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.

Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures.
