Response to tranylcypromine and thought stopping in obsessional disorder.

A caseofobsessionaldisorder isdescribedin which a combination of tranylcypromine and thought stopping was effective in markedly reducing obsessional ruipinations. Thought stopping appearsto have had a major role in preventing relapseon withdrawal of the tranylcypromine. Isberg (1981) and Jemke (1981) have reviewed the literature regarding the response of obsessivecompulsivedisorders to monoamin...

Addiction to Internet, Modeling and Control

In this paper, we propose a  mathematical model of addiction to Internet. We investigate the effect of educational programs on the control of the addiction. We compute basic reproduction number. By using Chavez-Song theorem, we show the occurrence of backward bifurcation. We prove the global stability of the equilibrium points using geometric stability method and Lyapunov function.
