Orphan Drugs - The Seattle Times explains
The mining of rare diseasesThirty years ago, Congress acted to spur research on rare diseases. Today, we have hundreds of new drugs — along with runaway pricing and market manipulation, as drugmakers turn a law with good intentions into a profit engine.By Michael J. Berens and Ken ArmstrongHer vision failed first.Then she fell asleep at school from inexplicable fatigue. Even walking proved difficult, often impossible, as she knocked into furniture and walls.

My 'Short' Experiment in Online Dating
As published on The Huffington Post The only way short guys survive is by knowing that we live longer and can weave through Costco aisles faster than our taller, wealthier, calmer, happier and more powerful, popular, employable, educated and sexually active counterparts. Shortness is great when we are four years old and get to hold the plaque in our soccer team photo. And when every other kid on the field piles on the ball, short boys wait for it to pop out and score a goal on the opponent's or our own net. In baseball, pitchers can't come close to our smaller strike zone so our on-base percentage exceeds 1.000. We learn...

10 Amazing Benefits Of Meditation
I had a fascinating consult call with a prospective client last week who get very offended when I described some aspects of new age philosophy as woo-woo. I tried to explain that, to me anyway, any process that couldn’t be explained by science (and this includes some NLP processes that I use with clients) are by (my) definition, woo-woo. I think she realized at that stage she was talking to the spawn of the devil and declared we weren’t a good fit before I even had the chance to ask her: “If you ‘re an expert in manifestation what the hell were you doing manifesting a call with me?” All flippancy aside, if I...

When a patient teaches you to tango
Patients continue to teach me new things about medicine and a woman named Bonnie has been one of my best teachers yet. I met Bonnie last month in an online community where she was sharing with other ovarian cancer patients her decision to transition to home hospice. While explaining that this is of course an intensely personal decision, she wanted her community to understand this option, which we physicians are often uncomfortable suggesting. As Robert Pearl explained in his piece, The majority of patients are stronger than many doctors realize: “Doctors worry patients can’t face the truth. All too often, however, it...

Is It The ‘Baby Blues’ or Something More?
A friend texted me the other morning that a woman she went to high school with was suffering from postpartum depression and hanged herself. The baby was five weeks old. Extremely upsetting. Tragic. Untimely. Before I was a parent, I absorbed these stories from a social work perspective. Not enough resources, support groups, coping mechanisms. Now, as a new mom, there is a part of me that understands the pain, the confusion, the insane hormones. For most women, pregnancy is a joyful time. Strangers are nicer, food is plentiful and you spend your spare time picking out furniture and baby clothes. For the few days after yo...

Why Don't I Hate Walter White?
I'm back from vacation and Shrink Rap resumes, even in the face of the continuing federal shutdown. Note that over on Clinical Psychiatry News, ClinkShrink wrote about "Trauma Informed Care" and how it has traumatized her,  and I have an article on "Antipsychotic medications and The Psychiatrist's Dilemma." So, I surfed over to Psycritic to read about all that is right with Breaking Bad in A Psychiatrist's Favorite Breaking Bad Moments.  Like Psycritic, I too am a Breaking Bad addict -- come to it late, then caught up in real time.  Maybe it's that we made popcorn during the episodes for a while, but the ri...

The Pain & Beauty of Life Changes
By Leo Babauta The reason for our suffering is our resistance to the changes in life. And life is all changes. While I resist change (and suffer) just like anyone else, I have learned to adapt. I’ve learned some flexibility. I’ve realized this: Everything changes, and this is beautiful. The Pain of Life’s Changes What do I mean that our suffering comes from resistance to the changes in life? Let’s take a look at some things that give us trouble: Someone yells at you at work. The change is rooted in the fact that we expect people to treat us kindly and fairly and with respect, but the realit...

3 Ways to Fight Stress in the Workplace
Modern workplaces are filled with hard working, motivated people who all have one thing in common: they're incredibly stressed out. I live in Silicon Valley, where you can't enter a coffee shop without seeing someone hunched over their laptops, hand over forehead and face contorted. The anxiety is palpable, and the result is more work hours logged at the expense of peace and sanity. I work every day with professionals in the Bay Area, and there are three common practices I've learned have helped them reduce workplace stress and, in turn, increase productivity and happiness. 1. Build Great Relationships The first step towa...

Book of Nurses: Erin.
  Don’t forget….We would love to read YOUR story. Click on the ‘Share your Story’ link below for more info. Hello everyone. My name is Erin and this is my story. I remember when I was in primary school I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said I wanted to be a teacher. Nursing was never on my radar as a job that I wanted to do, but when I think back on my life til now everything I’ve done has lead to me becoming a nurse. When I first left high school I was accepted into and studied Medical Imaging Science. The human body had always fascinated me and I’m a curious perso...

6 More Ways to Manage Clinical Depression
In a prior blog post, I listed seven ways to manage severe, clinical depression when you can’t get out of bed. The suggestions are different than the popular tips most depression experts give for boosting your mood, which are usually written for those with mild or moderate depression — or the really lucky people who just want to feel better. I thought it would be helpful to expand my list and give you six more ways to manage severe depression. 1. Remember your heroes. When making it to the breakfast table is a humble feat, it helps to remember I’m in good company with depressives past and present: Abraham Linc...

The Up Side of Down
You will never, ever regret the time you spent caring for someone who is living with dementia. By Karen Brenner +Alzheimer's Reading Room Things are really bad: really, really, really bad. That is the steady drum beat of depressing news; wars and rumors of wars, lay-offs, foreclosure, the shrinking, never-to-return middle class. For people who are caregivers in the midst of all of this chaos there is another drum beat that is constantly played for them: the loss of self, the weary wife, the broken husband, the forgotten children. Have you noticed the language that is being used? Subscribe to the Alzheim...

constant correction
"Balance is a process of constant correction."-Guy Forsythe, "Balance" from the Freedom to FailTerry Arnold (@talkIBC) reminded me of the Guy Forsythe song last night during a weekly Twitter discussion of the Breast Cancer Social Media group (#bcsm) on Twitter. These chats happen every Monday evening but the conversation is ongoing. I often forget about the chats but when I remember (or, more often, am accidentally reminded), I love every moment. When I start to chastise myself for spending too much time online, I am reminded of  how much support I find there - across distance and difference. We "get" each o...

She has extensive experience working with both children and elderly adults mostly in hospitals and long term care facilities. - Sinclair) I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, But people will never forget how you made them feel. -- Maya Angelou We are often asked, How can you do that?
