Why Those With Alzheimer's And Mental Illness Need Community
My dad's voice drifted gently through the cell phone, quieting the zip-zapping of my mind, "He was my only friend with Alzheimer's -- sort of my best friend. And now he's dead." Rain pattered outside the tall kitchen window next to me. I'd been chopping colorful vegetables for dinner, and my knife froze. Our family schedules, the child therapy, writing projects, and checklists dissolved for a moment, allowing me to hear my father who suffers with Alzheimer's. Sometimes his mind wanders and frets. He repeats himself. People dismiss his feelings. But lately I've found wisdom when I listen to him, so I inhaled. "Yes, I know. ...

5 Reasons Kids Shouldn't Sleep Near Their Devices
When The Huffington Post and YouGov asked parents how often they let their kids sleep next to their cell phones, 30 percent said they allowed it sometimes or always. Another 30 percent, however, banned cell phones from bedsides entirely. Of course, setting screen time limits is easier said than done. But since research suggests nighttime can be a particularly detrimental time for kids to use devices, placing parameters around tech use near bedtime is a good place to start. Here are five research-backed reasons you might not want to let your kids sleep near their cell phones: 1. Kid...

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Interventions for Trauma & Attachment
Many of my clients ask questions during the first session like “Why is my body so tight?” or “Why can’t I sleep at night?” People want to know why their bodies react to psychological stressors such as frustration, trauma, rejection, fear, and anxiety — why all of our bodies seem programmed to respond to these as well as environmental cues, facial expressions, attitudes, and other stimuli.
Pat Ogden, founder and director of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and Janina Fisher, a clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, synthesize psychological and medical models to explain why we physically re...

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and sleep in children - Herman JH.
Basic assumptions about ADHD in children and sleep are not supported by research. It is unclear that children with hyperactivity or inattention have disrupted sleep. Parents of children with ADHD consistently report more bedtime resistance, but there is no...

http://media.boston.cbslocal.com/CBSBOS_20150609061352210AA.mp4
BOSTON (CBS) – Arielle Sager, 17, of Westborough, is worried about finding a job this summer and hopefully earning enough to buy a car. She’s looking forward to gaining some independence as she grows up, after years of living in a group home for teens with mental health issues.
“It was hard to leave my home but at the same time, I knew I was getting the help I needed,” Ari bravely told WBZ-TV.
Ari’s mother, Pam, says watching her daughter melt down at home was isolating and scary.

Inside My Manic Mind
I often think people misconceptualize bipolar disorder. They hear it and think of a person who is kind and gentle, and then, out of the blue, they turn into The Hulk; almost a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde scenario.
While it’s true during a manic episode some may become angry, I don’t think that is the typical response. Instead, I think it is much more common for one to become elated, euphoric, almost in a constant high state. Those in a state of mania take on a sense of grandiosity, feeling they are invincible. Often they spend money at an alarming pace, sleep less, and make seemingly novel connections to completely u...

Better Night's Sleep May Help Kids With ADHD
BY SHEREEN LEHMAN
Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:33pm EST
(Reuters Health) - Kids with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems showed slight improvement in their symptoms after undergoing a behavioral sleep intervention, Australian researchers say.
The daytime improvement in ADHD symptoms was partly the result of the kids getting a better night’s sleep, and possibly of parents’ learning methods for dealing with behavior problems, the study found.
“Our previous work found that sleep problems were common in children with ADHD and associated with poorer behavior, ADHD symptoms, quality of life and day...

The Globalization of Attention Deficit Disorder
Mental disorders have become a global commodity. A diagnostic fad heavily promoted first in the US now quickly spreads around the world.
Multinational corporations have perfected the profitable art of international marketing. The reach of Big Pharma stretches everywhere in the world with a sales pitch easily translated into every language. 'Sell the ill to sell the pill.'
The basic strategy is to expand the market by convincing the healthy that they are sick-that their expectable distress and imperfections are a mental disorder caused by a brain chemical imbalance that requires correction with an overpriced pill.
