I understood growing up that trusted people were not inadvertently driving me crazy but were instead devoted to the systematic destruction of my sanity. It wasn’t about their behaviors, though I’d make it a point to avoid a beating by wandering the neighborhood til the lights went out, go home and step over mom on the way to the kitchen, eat a tub of Cool Whip, fall asleep on the couch and wake up with a caregiver’s dick in my mouth.

US Health Care, The Best in the World???Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
For many Americans there is an unfortunate notion that our health care is the best in the world, so, when I recently read an article entitled "The Epidemic of Medical Child Abuse, and what can be done", I had to share some statements and comment. Just read the first statement from author, Dana Ullman: The primary purpose of this article is to encourage a stronger commitment from doctors and parents to consider using safer medical care for infants and children FIRST before resorting to more dangerous treatments. I absolutely agree with this statement. It's not to say that there are not medical treatments which are neces...

Update on Privacy-Threatening Oklahoma Abortion LawEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Recently, I and many others wrote about an Oklahoma abortion law that could potentially seriously compromise the privacy (and safety) of women seeking abortions in that state. At issue is the law’s requirement that that each individual form be posted to a publicly available website. While traditionally identifying information would not be included on the form, public posting is an unnecessary for data collection and analysis and could still jeopardize women’s privacy (see this post for more on why I think that’s the case). The Center for Reproductive Rights has filed a lawsuit challenging the law. Via Wom...

Before you go into psychotherapy, you should be informed of your rights as a patient ahead of time by the therapist.

We’ve long had a version of these rights here on our website, but I thought it might be helpful to further describe or explain each right in a little more detail. Therapists nowadays may also often offer you their guidelines for electronic and/or outside contact, (such as through Facebook, email, telephone, etc).

The law requires that the State Department of Health make the form available on its website to abortion providers, and that providers complete a form for each department and submit it to the State Department of Health.

Conclusions: Despite the use of validated assessments, our findings are limited by the retrospective and subjective nature of self-report measures used to assess childhood maltreatment. Nonetheless, these data suggest a high rate of childhood maltreatment in individuals seeking treatment for GSAD, and the association of maltreatment with greater disorder severity suggests that screening is clinically prudent.

One would have had to have been living in a cave in the greater disability community two years ago not to have noticed the Ransom Notes Campaign and the furor that followed it.

This imagery was (not surprisingly) extremely offensive to many in the greater disability community.

Prescription Drug Abuse DeclinesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Whenever a high-profile person dies as a result of abusing prescription drugs, it brings to light how serious the problem really is. To that end, a new study found that overall people are abusing prescription drugs less than the before. I’d like to think that it has something to do with learning from each other. If one person admits that prescription drugs are dangerous, perhaps it will help another person think twice about their use of the product as well. It will also help people become aware of what it means to become addicted. The survey found that 2.5% of Americans (or 6.2 million) said they abused prescription...

Overeating, alcohol abuse and depression intertwined in young womenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By Amy Sutton, HBNS contributing writer On TV, Sex and the City makes regular Cosmo-drinking sessions seem like a glamorous, harmless pastime. In reality, though, excessive alcohol use can relate to overeating and depression in young women, according to the results of a new study. "Anyone who has been touched by depression, obesity or alcoholism knows that these disorders on their own can be devastating. When they're combined, these disorders become more costly, more difficult to treat and more impairing," said Carolyn McCarty, PhD, lead study author and a research associate professor at the University of Washington and Se...

Boundaries and Safety for the New Social MediaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We've all heard about viruses and websites that steal our sensitive private information. Cyberstalking has also become a problem on social media sites. Blogs, Twitter, MySpace and Facebook, in particular, are prone to this sort of abuse. But even cellphone texting can be a problem since you can forward others details where ever you want. Although there are mixed reviews of just how much of a risk there is, there is agreement there is a risk. Parents should certainly provide supervision for their kids with the youngest getting the most. Image by luc legay via FlickrJohn Dvorak, a columnist at MarketWatch.com recently poste...

Shotgun Adoption, by Kathryn Joyce, in The Nation. On pressure to relinquish babies for adoption by “crisis pregnancy centers.” Honestly, when I read “The Girls Who Went Away,” I was shocked and horrified but assumed that general kind of tactic was Something That Happened a Long Time Ago. Based on this piece, that’s not so much the case. Strained by Katrina, a Hospital Faced Deadly Choices, by Sheri Fink, in the New York Times Magazine. On what happened at Memorial Medical Center in the aftermath of Katrina. I haven’t started on this 18-page piece yet, but for sinking-stomach-avoidance ...
