It shows up under any number of guises, from the more mundane to more serious versions: “I’m not going to try to learn how to waterski because I know I won’t be any good at it.” “Anything less than an A is not a good enough grade.” “I need to punish myself for not being perfect.” Perfectionists engage in multiple problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They tend to fear failure, disapproval, and making mistakes. Sometimes they fear success. They overemphasize “shoulds” and engage in all-or-nothing thinking. They constantly pressure themselves to succeed. A shameful belief about inner “badness” often is at the core of pe...

It also plagues kids. In the book Freeing Your Child From Negative Thinking: Powerful Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility and Happiness, child psychologist Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D, writes that for kids with a “negative thinking bias,” negative thoughts become “the default, the first, last and final word.” Kids simply don’t realize that they have a choice in whether they internalize these thoughts. Instead, they start to see these inaccurate beliefs as absolute truths. Fortunately, Chansky says that parents can help! Whether your child expresses negative thoughts occasionally or on a regular basis, you can help them overcome these harmful patterns of thinking. Below are three activities to...

One of the most common SAT essay questions is the topic of change and motivation. In one phrasing or another, the SAT asks if we believe that change can come from external sources or if true change comes only from within. Change, motivation, perception of reality — they are all cousins. At my husband’s work as a milieu therapist at a psychiatric hospital, he evaluates patients on their “stage of change” in order to gauge their insight into their condition. The vast majority of the people he runs into are in “pre-contemplation;” they don’t know why they’re in the hospital at all. They create wild confabulations about how the tortured cat deserved it, how they were framed,...

Its main actions are to flex the humerus (as in doing bicep curls) and to adduct and medially rotate the humerus (i.e., to bring the arm into the side and rotate it counterclockwise.) The nerve supply is from the lateral and medial pectoral nerves. The proximal attachment is the clavicular head, the sternocostal head, the six most superior costal (rib) cartilages, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle. The distal attachment is the intertubercular groove of the humerus.

This sort of tragedy occurs about one hundred times each year in America. That’s a lot of sadness. The obvious question is: Could these deaths be prevented? Let’s start with what actually happens. Most cases of sudden death in young people occur as a result of either hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), an abnormal thickening of heart muscle, or long QT syndrome (LQTS), a mostly inherited disease of the heart’s electrical system. Both HCM and LQTS predispose the heart to ventricular fibrillation — electrical chaos of the pumping chamber of the he...

These hernias are a protrusion of intra-abdominal contents through the Spigelian fascia, which is the aponeurotic tissue anatomically located at the junction of the semilunar line laterally and rectus abdominus medially. The most precise description of the hernia location is at the junction of the linea semilunaris and linea semicircularis at the junction of the of the muscular and aponeurotic portions of the transverse abdominus. These hernias are almost always found below the arcuate line (semicircularis) The most consistent symptom of a Spigelian hernia is pain, with a variable finding of a palpable hernia bulge. This is due to the hernia sac bulging throught the transverse abdominis...

The sun is shining. It is 70 degrees. There is a light breeze and a warm summer vibe in the air. Yet regardless of what the weather is outside, when mental illness is an issue, what is going on inside carries more weight. Did you ever get exciting news — you got the job you wanted, your boyfriend proposed, or you found out you were having a baby — and felt wonderful despite the rain pelting on the windowsill? Or in contrast, have you ever felt horrible even when it was warm and summery outside? If you are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), then the weather outside can dictate your mood.

Following human testing and FDA approval, devices such as these could replace similar systems that are external to the body with a needle attachment that pierces the skin to take measures.

Have you been soaking up the sun’s rays or hiding out in air conditioned rooms, underneath trees and any shelter you can find? I’ve actually been exercising the latter, cooling off in theaters. As a result, it’s turning out to be a movie themed summer. In fact, this past weekend, I gave into my movie kick and saw everything from Toy Story 3 to Eclipse. Those two very different movies taught me something surprisingly similar about life. Something along the lines of, “anything is possible” and “having a little giggle is just as important as working hard.” Silliness and play teach us a lot about ourselves. It’s how we learned as kids and how we open up the door to possibilities as adults. The reason I bring this up...

Not because I’m a crazy person holed up in a world of clocks (although now I’m beginning to wonder…), but because clocks seem to be an added component of other, largely unrelated things. There’s one on my computer screen, always reminding me of how little I’ve done today. There’s one I got from Ireland, in an ornate, hand-carved base. I bought the clock for the base — the clock itself is just some cheap, made-in-china timepiece. The clock on my weather station leaves me scratching my head a little (I need the weather forecast, not the time!). To say nothing about the clocks on my wrist or in my pocket on my cell phone. But the worst clock of them all is the ...
