<div style="text-align: justify;">
In our of my fellow social workers, I would like to be the advocate for all our patients, clients, and administrators in saying Thank You for all your hard work and dedication that you provide in any and all situations of your practices and agencies. It takes a certain type of person to be able to stomach and endure all that we hear and deal with a consistent basis day in and day out. My advice to all those young social workers, in the prime of their career social workers, and young at heart social workers take this time to recognize yourself and if that means taking that well deserved "Mental Health Day" (yea even <i>we </i>need those days) than do it!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A great man once said "If we(as social workers) don't take the time step back, rest and reassess, how can we ask that of our clients?" -Me </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you Social Workers!!!</div>

<a href="http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/transformers_ultimate_bumblebee1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/transformers_ultimate_bumblebee1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you have ever been to an after school special on drugs or alcohol, you tend to hear this line come up a few times: "Alcohol/Weed is a gateway drug ". Apparently, that also exists with mental health and psychiatric/behavioral disorders. As reported by <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130304104758.htm" target="_blank"><i>SciencDaily.com</i></a>, which quoted the March 4th online issue of <i>Pediatrics</i> as saying "<i><b>57 percent of children with ADHD had at least one other psychiatric
disorder as adults, as compared with 35 percent of those studied who
didn't have childhood ADHD. The most common were substance
abuse/dependence, antisocial personality disorder, hypomanic episodes,
generalized anxiety and major depression...Of the children who still had ADHD as adults, 81 percent had at least
one other psychiatric disorder, as compared with 47 percent of those who
no longer had ADHD and 35 percent of those without childhood ADHD." </b></i> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Interesting, yet why would we not say these children had any of these disorders AND THEN developed ADHD? Maybe these children do not have ADHD at all and simply cannot give another diagnosis to them because the DSM(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) would not give enough criteria for the child to have another maybe more severe diagnosis. I don't have the answer, all I am saying is, call it ADHD ,call it banana bread, makes no significant difference in the scheme of things as long as the child receives the best treatment possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I had to dig further into the broader scope of mental health. Can a person have only one diagnosis or do the majority of psychiatric/behavioral patients have at least two diagnosis?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Again, <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080111144052.htm" target="_blank">Sciencedaily.com</a> pulls me through. In an article in 2008 they reported, <i><b>"Most patients had more than one diagnosis; on average, patients had 1.9
current diagnoses. Patients with principal diagnoses of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) and bipolar disorder had the highest number of
diagnoses."</b></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://drop.ndtv.com/albums/HEALTH/ocd/ocd4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="http://drop.ndtv.com/albums/HEALTH/ocd/ocd4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
With both articles this leads me to believe that there is a good chance that those children may have had other psychiatric problems already and not that it LED to those disorders in adulthood. Before you get on my case, I am NOT, I repeat NOT suggesting that those children have or should be diagnosed with Bipolar or Schizophrenia or a Personality disorder or any severe psychiatric illness. What I am suggesting is that ADHD much like other behavioral problems are not a stand alone issue and there is more going on than "Jonny cant sit still or concentrate in class".<br />
<br />
Good to be back folks!<br />

<b>It has been 3 1/2 months since I have posted any blog or anything. It has been a very busy 3 months and I have been beginning some new professional en devours while I have been gone. In the coming months I will be teaming up with another organization that brings the world of social media and social work together. Until that is solidified and complete I hope to continue what I started on this blog which was to educate the masses about social work and psychology in our everyday lives. So with that I say get ready, get set and jump on(again) and roll with this Blog. </b><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Dear Hurricane Sandy,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Have you ever known anyone who has mental health or behavioral health
issues? If you do than your are basically ignoring the fact that for people who
do not have these issues are feeling high anxiety, so imagine if you take
anti-anxiety medications, or you are a parent who who has a child with ADHD at
home because school is closed, or a senior citizen who has dementia in an
evacuation area, did ya ever think about those people? Well since this is a
Hurricane and not a human, pretty difficult for any thought processing to be
going on. For all of us who do have emotions and do think what can we do to
decrease these feelings? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Answer: anything and everything to keep your mind off the weather.
Seriously. I have no real clinical advice for these situations other than head
the warnings and precautions of your local officials and for lack of better
words "weather the storm" (how could I resist that cliché?)
Stay occupied, enjoy the day off and make sure you are safe and read
blogs....like a lot of blogs! </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>I hope this added to decreasing your anxiety levels, I will have more
occupying your day off Hurricane Sandy posts! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Breathe in and breathe out!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Have a safe day!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>YES </b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I was in undergrad (a few moons ago), I had a friend who wrote a paper
on humor and psychology, which stole my thunder at the time. However, I did
have another “out of the box” type of therapy in psychology, and that was music
(my thesis was Music and Psychology). Music plays a role in everyone's life
from owning an iPod, to realizing that most movies would not be as good if it
didn't have the right music for each scene.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, does music play a role in psychology? Turns out very much so in treating
people with Depression, Anxiety and Alzheimer’s.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><u>Alzheimer's </u></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I did research on there was data to support the reasoning that music
helps with people suffering from Alzheimer's was that the music that was being
played for the patients in session was music from their youth and young
adulthood sparking the patient to learn(remember) the songs which would kick
start their anterograde memory helping them recall events from those points in
time. On the Alzheimer's Foundation of America website they dedicate an entire
page to the usage of music therapy with people suffering from Alzheimer's and
Dementia. Here is the link <a href="http://www.alzfdn.org/EducationandCare/musictherapy.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">Music Therapy
and Alzheimer's</span></a></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><u>Depression</u></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There recently has been many news and medical outlets that have reported the
usage of music therapy. BBC news reported that researchers at the University of
Jyväskylä, said: "<i>Our trial has shown that music therapy, when added to
standard care helps people to improve their levels of depression and
anxiety...After three months, patients receiving music therapy showed a greater
improvement in scores of anxiety and depression than the other set of patients.</i>"
Furthermore <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/08/16/music-therapy-may-ease-anxiety-in-cancer-patients/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">Fox News</span></a>
reported that Indiana University, Purdue University Indianapolis collaborated
with Drexel University to in study to exam the usage of music therapy and
people who have depression or anxiety who have also been given a cancer
diagnosis. Debra Burns, the lead researcher reported that "<i>Compared to
patients who only received standard cancer treatment, the combined data from
the studies suggested that patients who also had music treatment rated their
anxiety and pain lower and had higher mood scores. In addition, their heart
rates were lower by about four beats per minute; on average...There was no
effect, however, on how patients rated their depression or fatigue.</i>"</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The article goes on to dispute the effectiveness but it’s worth noting that
these are some of the advances in "outside the box" thinking.
Patients with mental illness need to consider every form of therapy before
entering treatment, as well as clinicians being able to say "oh play
therapy or CBT isn’t for everyone let's try something else".</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Again, just another example of how the mental health field continues to
develop. </b></span><br />

<b>To begin this post, I would just like to take a moment to remember those who
lost someone on one of the most infamous day in history and how that event has
shaped our lives today.</b><br />
<b>Since I am clinician at heart my mind began to think about how 9/11 has
shaped the world of mental health specifically PTSD and so I posed a question
to the Twittersphere- "Has PTSD become more prevalent post 9/11 and the beginning
of the war on terror or have we become more educated since then? </b><br />
<br />
<b>In October and November of 2001, 2,733 people across the United States found
that 11.2% of New York City residents had PTSD, and 4% of U.S. residents had
PTSD. Another study of 998 adults in New York City five to nine weeks after the
attacks found that 7.5% had PTSD. Statistics go on and on about the effects of
that day. What about overall? </b><br />
<br />
<b>As reported by Jennifer Ferryman on her blog <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://orderinthequart.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-and-the-911-terrorist-attacks/" target="_blank">Orderinthequart.wordpress.com</a></span>,
"<i>PTSD was documented in individuals who were indirectly exposed to
trauma that did not directly involve a family member or other close person. 4%
of individuals living outside of the attack sites who were indirectly exposed
to the tragedies via television were found to have symptoms of PTSD (Zimering
et al, 2006)."</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Ok so it may be that there has been an increase, but what about people who
experienced PTSD and it was related to abuse in India, or death in the family
in Taiwan having nothing to do with 9/11?</b><br />
<br />
<b>While I have not found any data to support the increase (or decrease) in
PTSD Dx, when I did research of PTSD articles from before 9/11 versus after
9/11 there was in flux of research, blogs and op-ed articles related to PTSD
for survivors of all natural disasters whether it was tsunami in japan or
Hurricane Katrina or military vets. One could deduce that it would be a
combination of both, increase of reported cases as well as people in general
becoming more knowledgeable on all things specifically medical and mental
health. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Just something to ponder...</b><br />
<br />
<b>Have a safe 9/11/12</b><br />
<b>YES!</b><br />

<b>Food and mood for the right attitude(see what I did there). I recently ran a group on the effects of physical ailments and anger management(Jealous you weren't there? You should be!) That led me to a whole host of different ways to view the body and mental health. I knew that there is data that supports that if you have a balanced diet it has numerous effects on your mental health. I decided to take the liberty with the help of <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://themindsanctuary.com/good-mood-food-%E2%80%93-ingredients-to-improve-your-mental-health/" target="_blank">Mind Sanctuary</a></span> to list a few easy ways to incorporate certain food and vitamins to ensure good mental health. Most of these you probably eat already so at least you can feel good when you eat them!</b><br />

Pets and Therapy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Weird topic right? Totally I agree. Yet it did catch your eye, right? When I read that there is significant impact a pet can have on a person's mental health I was immediately intriguing and<i> very very</i> skeptical of the impact it would have. Alas, let's go fetch a bone!!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>I read via MayoClinic.com that animal assisted therapy has been able to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety due to the animal giving compassion during the visit which automatically makes a person feel happier. That's nice and all, but is there data to suggest that something more is going on?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>As reported by CNN.com psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman, author of <u>Coping With Terrorism: Dreams Interrupted</u>.<i> </i>She noted that it has tremendous amount of impact on people who have been Dx with PTSD as she stated <i>"Being around an animal can cause biochemical changes in our brains that make us feel calmer, safer and happier.
In addition, caring for a pet can help take our thoughts off our own
fears. “[When you] prove to yourself that you can take care of another
living creature,” Dr. Lieberman says, “It “reassures you that you can
take care of yourself.” This makes pet therapy especially useful for men
and women coping with trauma such as returning veterans, who are
relearning how to live in the civilian world."*1</i></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In a study that was conducted by </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Joan Esnayra Ph.D. & Craig Love, Ph.D. of </span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><u><span style="color: black;">A Survey of Mental Health Patients Utilizing Psychiatric Service Dogs</span></u></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">the results concluded that </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">"Most are severely mentally ill by
any number of reasonable measures. They are medicated but continue to
experience refractory symptoms. Mood and Anxiety Disorders predominate.
Importantly, a majority report that use of a Psychiatric Service Dog has
diminished symptoms. A substantial minority report reduced psychotropic
medication usage subsequent to canine partnership. This is true more so among
those with anxiety-related disorders. This finding is consistent with the
claims of Mason, who report that among a cohort of psychotherapists,
animal-assisted therapy (AAT) was deemed most successful with clients who have
Anxiety Disorders (Mason and Hagan, 1999)".*2</span></i></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><i> </i></span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span>As we read in the previous post, depression
effects 12 million people year round I was interested in alternative ways to
treat depression and came across one interesting treatment that not only helps
treat depression but anxiety, ADHD and PTSD too. Yoga! So gals throw on those
mental yoga pants and guys break out those mental under armor shirts and let’s
get our mats ready!! </span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span>When some of you think yoga, you probably
think "I can’t bend like that" or "I'd rather relax at home with

in yoga for many types of people. </span></span></b></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Earlier this month there was a study
published by University of Michigan Health System about the correlation between
expectant mothers and depression. The study reported that <i>"Pregnant
women who were identified as psychiatrically high risk and who participated in
a 10-week mindfulness yoga intervention saw significant reductions in
depressive symptoms...mothers-to-be also reported stronger attachment to their
babies in the womb"</i>.* If this could work with pregnant women who
have a whole host of different things going on hormonally, I wonder what could
it do to a man with PTSD? or even a child with ADHD? </span></span></b></div>

featuring guided meditation, yoga asanas (stretching poses), stress reduction
techniques and breathing exercises. After six weeks the group had an overall
decrease of 15 points on the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), moving

<b>As a newly father(for the second time) it dawned on me that here at ClinicallySpeaking, we have never done a blog post of postpartum, thought this would be an appropriate time to do one. So lets do this!!!</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Lets start at the beginning, What is Postpartum Depression? <span class="definition">Depression suffered by a mother following
childbirth, typically arising from the combination of hormonal changes,
psychological adjustment to motherhood, and fatigue. Not all Postpartum Depressions are created equal, not all mothers will have the same symptoms as one another much like any diagnosis or disease that can be treated. They have similar qualities and must meet criteria but never the same in all.</span></b><b><span class="definition"> </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="definition"><br /></span>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span class="definition">This is such an enormous topic that there are many mental health websites that are dedicated to helping women find the right treatment and help. The specific website that I research with the best information was <a href="http://www.postpartum-depression-blog.com/">http://www.postpartum-depression-blog.com</a>. While perusing the website for interesting topics for this particular blog post an interesting topic came up....Postpartum for Men? What? Really? No???...Turns out Yes! As reported on the website "</span>A study published by the Journal of Advanced Nursing indicates that 24 –
50% of all men that experience postpartum depression within one year
have a partner suffering from the same condition." Are you shocked? If you break it down to its simplicity about 6 million men suffer from depression every year. This is about 7 percent
of the population. Nearly twice as many women (more than 12 million)
suffer from depression each year. If you look at it from that standpoint it isn't so surprising. Often the men who have children begin feeling that they feel no connection with their newborn, or feel overwhelmed with having to care for another person which could spiral into depression and anxiety. </b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span class="definition"><br /> </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span class="definition">There is more and more research being done in this area of Postpartum Depression for Men, this is just a taste and to be aware if you are an expectant soon to be father or mother. It would be a good idea for both of you dad and mom to brush up and make sure you are aware of the different services you can obtain if either of you are feeling the "baby blues" when your little one come around. If you have just given birth there is a social worker in every hospital and if you are feeling depressed you can administer a quick quiz to determine if you are suffering from Postpartum Depression. Here is the link to the quiz: <a href="http://www.postpartum-depression-blog.com/test-yourself-with-the-postpartum-depression-quiz-5-simple-questions/" target="_blank">Postpartum Depression Quiz</a>. </span></b></div>

<a href="http://www.addadhdblog.com/wp-content/uploads/ADHDBlog.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://www.addadhdblog.com/wp-content/uploads/ADHDBlog.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">There is much debate over the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder aka ADHD and the legitimacy of it. The common phrase that everyone likes to say is "oh don't worry its not you, its my ADHD" or "c'mon this is taking too long my ADHD is kicking in". All joking aside, research has shown that there is concrete linkages between ADHD and other mental illnesses. Today in an article by Connie K. Ho on Redorbit.com titled</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">, <a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1112676233/suicide-girls-adhd-081512/" target="_blank">Risk of Self-Injury and Suicide Attempts for Girls with ADHD</a>, </span><span style="font-size: small;">she reports that there is a link between ADHD and self-injurious and suicidal behavior in girls. She reported that a study was done at the</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> "UC
Berkeley showed that these girls tend to internalize their feelings of
inadequacy and their struggles with the disorder. As a result, they are
two times more likely to harm themselves and three times more likely to
commit suicide than their peers". </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>While this is really astonishing, two questions come to mind when reading this....Is it because they have this disorder and then they felt inadequate or do they feel inadequate to begin with and this reinforces those feelings? What I like to call the Chicken or Egg phenomena.</b> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2006/05/26/chicken192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2006/05/26/chicken192.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Good question right? (Thank you inner monologue) I am not sure that there is a right answer, but if you think its the former that, disorder+inadequacy= self-injures behavior, than you might believe get the child the right treatment and you will see a confident child in 6 months. If you think its the latter, inadequacy+disorder=self injures behavior, than you might believe that no matter the disorder the child will have negative self-worth and self-esteem having this label exacerbates an already existing problem which will effect her for years and years to come.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Again don't have the right answer....</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">With all types of mental illnesses you get different prognosis and outcomes depending on a lot of variables. While I believe there is much validity to that research article, I question the participants mental health before being given the ADHD diagnosis and other factors such as, parental involvement, social skills, and stressors that the child may have been incurred or exposed to. </span></b></div>

<b>Ricky is an 8 year old white Jewish male who resides in his parents home with two younger siblings 6 year old boy and 2 year old girl. He attends school in his community. He enjoys sports, history, and is in the school choir. Additionally, Ricky does have Dx of a learning disability which compounds the issue of him having ADHD. I have been seeing him for the past 2 years. He was brought in by his parents because he was unable to control his behaviors in school and at home. Ricky has been on medication from the psychiatrist to help him treat his ADHD. While working with Ricky, we would utilize play therapy, learn coping skills to reduce ADHD, and behavior modification techniques to help him focus more on tasks that needed to be completed. During sessions he would have a finite amount of time to finish a task with a reward at the end of session. His parents and myself meet monthly to track his progress at home and school. At the end of last school year Ricky was assessed by the Jewish day school he was attending, which showed that he was not up to grade level on any of his subjects. Ricky's behavior continued to deteriorate socially and academically in school , but had improved at home with his parents. He was disrupting the other children which in turn Ricky started to be ostracized from his classmates. In a meeting with Ricky's parents I had suggested that it might be a good idea for them to explore moving him from Jewish day school which has a double curriculum(learning bible, Jewish heritage, and Hebrew) to a public school and be in a special education classroom, may improve socially with peer like him, a shorter day and single curriculum. Initially, Ricky's parents had a lot of trepidation in switching him, but after explaining that at this point in his life he needs to feel that he is confident that he can succeed in school and have good peer interactions rather than him spiraling down academically just so he can be with Jewish kids and having the extra curriculum. I continued to explain that very often when you can eliminate one negative element from a child it has a positive effect on other areas of his life. </b></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Fast forward to his current functioning. Ricky will be completing his first year public school, not only has he caught up to grade level, he was mainstreamed for 2 classes in January. As reported by his parents he will be taken out of the special education class for the fall and put into a mainstream class. Parents reported that he is doing great socially, and he has not had any out of range problems (meaning no significant problems for A)a child and B) a child with ADHD)with his attention at home or in school. Parents reported that when an incident does occur they have been able to redirect him and he has been able to calm himself down and focus on using his coping skills.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>In this case, it had more to do with the child and his needs academically and socially rather than the coping skills for his ADHD emotionally. While learning those skills were and are important for him, it was being able to recognize that although patients can be taught coping skills and other techniques, sometimes a change of scenery or in this case school had a trickle effect on his emotional and social needs.</b></div>

<b>The mainstream way to treat children and adolescence with ADHD is with medication and therapy. Therapy can consist of play therapy, or art therapy, and depending on the cognitive level of the child or adolescent Cognitive Behavioral therapy can be very good asset in helping to train coping skills. Finally, which I have seen and used that is effective would be Behavior Modification, in order to promote good behavior at home and school. While therapy alone won't necessarily work medications such as, Vyvance, Concerta, Intuniv, Strattera, Adderall, and everyone's favorite pop-med reference, Ritalin will be prescribed. Those medications are divided into two groups, stimulants and non-stimulants. There are various reasons why one would be prescribed a stimulant over a non-stimulant, like certain side effects, medical complication, and/or that they can't be taken with other medications. </b></div>

<b>In the recent years there are have been two particular ways that can improve a person's ADHD symptons dramatically. Exercise and Diet. While those both sound standard in changing anything that is wrong physically with your body, these two have a profound affect on the person with ADHD.</b></div>

<b>1) <i><u>Exercise-</u></i> Associate professor at Dartmouth, David Bucci conducted a study to measure the way exercise can improve memory and a gene has been indicated which seems to mediate the degree to which exercise has a beneficial effect. As reported by Sciencedaily.com <i>"Bucci began his pursuit of the link between exercise and memory with
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), one of the most common
childhood psychological disorders. Bucci is concerned that the
treatment of choice seems to be medication. The notion of pumping children full of psycho-stimulants at an
early age is troublesome," Bucci cautions. "We frankly don't know the
long-term effects of administering drugs at an early age -- drugs that
affect the brain -- so looking for alternative therapies is clearly
important. Anecdotal evidence from colleagues at the University of Vermont
started Bucci down the track of ADHD. Based on observations of ADHD
children in Vermont summer camps, athletes or team sports players were
found to respond better to behavioral interventions than more sedentary
children. While systematic empirical data is lacking, this association
of exercise with a reduction of characteristic ADHD behaviors was
persuasive enough for Bucci."</i> The article goes on to talk about being able to determine the genotype and modify which exercise would be best for treating ADHD for each child.

<b>2) <u><i>Diet-</i></u> Kim Fliescher, professor of pediatric nutrition from the University of Copenhagen who conducted research about diet and ADHD. She reported that, while there is more research that needs to be done,<i>"...There is
a lot to suggest that by changing their diet, it is possible to improve
the condition for some ADHD children...Several of the studies show, for example, that fatty acids from fatty
fish moderate the symptoms. Other studies detect no effect. Elimination
diets are also promising." </i>This would really do wonders for children even more so for parents, but could also kill a huge part of the pharmaceutical industry. Even if we would be able to some how minimize and prevent ADHD by 10% that would still be enormous in so many ways, behaviorally, physically, and in school performance.

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Sorry for the long wait for a new post. This week will be all about ADHD, from treatment and prevention to a case study. Today as we always do is make sure that everyone has a clear understanding of what it is and who it effects in the world. A few statistics before we dive in like Pete Rose. An estimated 9.5 % of children between the ages of 3-17 are diagnosed with ADHD and 4% of adults.

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><u>JL:</u> Many individuals who suffer with eating disorders also struggle with anxiety and depression. Many individuals have encountered some sort of trauma (trauma being a very broad term). ED has very little to do with the actual food (if at all). The food is used as a tool to dissociate and detach from feelings, as well as provides an individual with a sense of comfort and control; in a lot of ways that ED is empowering. While re-teaching ones body to recognize hunger cues and accept food-
it is important that one is also learning the meaning behind the food-what does it mean to feed your self/ to allow your self to feel, to take care of you self/ to listen to your emotions, to provide your self with nourishment/nurture? In order to heal the ED it is important to understand its roots, and devise healthy eating habits and coping mechanisms to deal with the underlying problem.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><u><span style="font-size: small;">CS:</span></u> <i>As an art therapist, what techniques do you rely on that are most effective with this population?</i></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><u>JL:</u> Art allows for one to express thoughts and feelings that are indescribable. It turns abstract feelings in to something tangible and approachable, as well as provides one with an opportunity to approach the situation from a different perspective, and in a non-threatening manner. Through creative expression one gains insight into ones self and the situation. I typically provide my patients with some sort of open directive and a choice of materials. It is important to create a structured/safe environment, while also giving the individual the space and freedom to independently explore. Using a variety of different art mediums i.e. paint, collage,plaster... one is encouraged to identify and explore feelings in ones body, explore relationships such as; ones relationship with family, friends, and food. Furthermore, art is used to explore body image, trust, boundaries... the possibilities are endless. I personally encourage my patients to escape their mind and allow their emotions to guide their hand. After finishing, it is then important to reflect back on their work- recognize patterns and themes, identify emotions while creating the art work as well as while reflecting, and create coping mechanism to help appropriately respond to challenging situations.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Continuing with the theme of eating disorders this week, we will be talking about different treatment and some preventions that are being made globally to help those with eating disorders.</span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/family-based-treatment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/family-based-treatment.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Much like other mental illness, behavioral problems, and addiction treatment people suffering from this disease can utilize any modality of treatment (i.e. individual and group therapy). However, there are two leading types of therapy that are used most in treating eating disorders. The first, FBT, or Family Based Treatment. There was a study that was published in October 2010, that showed that <i>"more than 50 percent of patients receiving family based treatment (FBT)
were in full remission after a year-long treatment period, compared to
23 percent of those receiving adolescent-focused individual therapy
(AFT). After a year of follow-up, only 10 percent of patients who
achieved remission during family based treatment relapsed, compared to
40 percent of AFT subjects"</i>, as reported by University of Chicago. That is though working with the adolescent and young adult population, what about the adult population? It appears from my research on the topic while adults who do suffer from it, the majority of the population who is Dx with an eating disorder are adolescents and young adults, 95% of those who have eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25.8. Quite alarming... </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Another well known and adopted from of treatment is the use of Art therapy either in individual counseling or group therapy. Art therapist helps the patient to become creative and express themselves through a painting, or sculpting. Not only is the activity that they are involved with potentially soothing, it will allow the therapist to get a glimpse of how they are reacting and feeling through the pictures and the non-verbal communication. During these sessions, art therapist promote finding new ways of nurturing themselves rather than hurting their bodies.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Last week was a big week in the world of eating disorders and prevention. The fashion world has always been under a microscope regarding models and their health.

doctor saying they are not underweight before they can be hired for a
modeling job. A six-foot-tall model, for example, must weigh no less
than 136.5 pounds. The legislation also bans use of models who
"look underweight," and creators of ads must disclose whether they used
Photoshop or graphic programs to manipulate images to make the models
look skinnier...Lawmakers are hoping the measure encourages a healthier body image

anorexia.

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Today we are going to explore the different Eating Disorders according to the DSM-IV-TR. Here we go...</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Anorexia Nervosa</u></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight
for age and height: Weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight
<85% of that expected or failure to make expected weight gain during
period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though under weight.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Disturbance in the way one's body weight or shape are experienced,
undue influence of body weight or shape on self evaluation, or denial
of the seriousness of the current low body weight.</b> </div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Amenorrhea (at least three consecutive cycles) in postmenarchal girls
and women. Amenorrhea is defined as periods occurring only following
hormone (e.g., estrogen) administration.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><u>Subtype</u>- <i>Restricting type</i>-During the current episode of anorexia nervosa, the person has not
regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (self-induced
vomiting or misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b> <i>Binge-eating–purging type-</i> During the current episode of anorexia
nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging
behavior (self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics,
or enemas).</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Bulimia Nervosa</u></b></span> </div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Recurrent episodes of binge eating characterized by both:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b> * Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period),
an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat
during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b> *A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode, defined by a
feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is
eating.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain: Self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications, fasting, excessive exercise.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behavior both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-Self evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>-The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b><u>Subtype</u>-<i>Purging type</i>- During the current episode of bulimia nervosa, the person
has regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of
laxatives, diuretics, or enemas.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b> <i>Nonpurging type</i>- During the current episode of bulimia nervosa, the
person has used inappropriate compensatory behavior but has not
regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or misused laxatives,
diuretics, or enemas.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)</b></span></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Eating disorder not otherwise specified includes disorders of eating
that do not meet the criteria for any specific eating disorder. For instance, maintaing normal weight despite meeting criteria for Anorexia, or repeatedly chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing, large amounts of food.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Finally, both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are more commonly seen in
girls and women. Estimates of female-to-male ratio range from 6 : 1 to
10 : 1.</b> </div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>This concludes today's lesson...</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Have good one y'all</b></div>
