basis, seeing a person or psychologist on a weekly basis. and then those kids who are in such crisis, they're suicidal or homicidal and they need to be hospitalized. but there are tons of kids in the gray range, they're struggling, hurting themselves, having major problems but not serious enough to be put in the hospital, too serious to be handled on an outpatient basis. this jump in er visits, is this saying we are having more issues with mental health and children or is it parents more comfortable seeking help. >> i think it's a combination. a lot of schools and parents are worried about their kid being on the cover of the news, worried their kid will go into school or somewhere else and hurt themselves or somebody else. this week, i had to see a patient who was a college student who was sent home from college because he was expressing thought s abos about wanting to hurt a kid on campus in this case, i think this kid

is fine, but again schools want to make sure they cover that i basis and make sure somebody is being seen. i think it's lack of diet, poor sleep, all these things are contributing to the problems. >> all right. we have another subject we want to talk to you about, it's an alarming uptick in the drug use of many people, not just teens. back to you. all right. thanks. today the first family is getting ready to show off the white house christmas tree. michelle obama will show us the decorations later on today. we'll get to see that decorated tree. the video shows last year's christmas tree. you have to wait until later to see this year's. coming up, the little change that could be coming to the next generation of iphone that could be a big deal. it has a lot of people fired up.

again. we will talk about that. let's run through the numbers. 4 in 10 say they know someone addicted to medications like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and others. 2% admitted to their own addiction. this is a big problem and it's widely known. what still needs to happen to stop it? >> the dea is crack down on doctors prescribing these medications. they're making it much harder for doctors to continue to prescribe these medications on a chronic basis. we have a lot of people out there who over the years have become addicted to these medications. many of them have now turned to heroin because it's easier to access and cheaper than some of the prescription pain medications. >> that's the question, is it too easy to get prescription drugs? >> it is easy to get them. it's easy to get them on the streets, doctors are still prescribing these, but these medications have legitimate purposes. vicodin, one of these main

medications, is the most prescribed medication in this country. that's the medicine that you're dentist is giving to you or a surgeon after a minor procedure. these are accessible. i do think attempts are made to limit the use of them. but people take these medications, they like how it feels and it takes on a life of its own. >> is there a difference between addiction and mental health problem? >> most people who have a problem with an addiction have an underlying health issue. when we talk about these opiates what i've seen is the fast majority of people take these medications and they find that they feel more relaxed and their mod is enhanced. so you're dealing with people who probably had some underlying issues to start with. once you start take the medications for a prolonged period of time, weeks, months or longer, you're physically addicted to the medications, they are extremely difficult to get off of. who will stop the person? themselves, do you think, or a friend or relative? >> has to be everybody. the person has to realize they

have to get off, the doctors need to stop prescribing and they need to seek help to get off the medications in a safe and effective way. >> we hope you'll be back next week. >> i will. back to you. >> thank you. it's the holiday commercial that will either leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy or downright mad. plus the papal picture that has social media

doesn't strike twice never met one woman in california. >> wait until you hear how she beat the odds and is waking up much richer.

we'd all like to win the lottery just once. >> but a california man is lucky to win twice moments from each other. a fast mart sold the winning ticket to rodney last week, he stopped to pick up some $30 scratchers, he stepped outside to scratch one, and won $1,000. so he decide ed d to play again. >> someone came in, bought three, he got the last one. >> $10 million. >> wow. >> they also sold a $25,000 scratcher last month and a $30,000 ticket last year making it one of the luckiest locations in the central valley.
