The Charter guarantees certain political rights to Canadian citizens and civil rights of everyone in Canada from the policies and actions of all levels of government. It is designed to unify Canadians around a set of principles that embody those rights. The Charter was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada on April 17, 1982.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;Mr. Paul Conway, who has been detained on a psychiatric ward for 27 years for sexual assault and assaulting a police officer in the 70s, asked the Ontario Review Board to release him and affirm his rights under the Charter.  However, the board rejected his request because they did not have jurisdiction to rule under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The Ontario Review Board annually reviews the status of every person who has been found to be not criminally responsible or unfit to stand trial for criminal offences on account of a mental disorder. The Ontario Review Board is established under the Criminal Code of Canada. The Board is made up of judges, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists and public members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;Now, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of allowing administrative tribunals to apply the Charter in their fields of expertise.  The ruling opened up the possibility for an array of litigation issues between patients and institutions that can be heard at almost any tribunal in the country.  Moreover, the Charter will likely be used by many others in various circumstances, such as by prisoners to execute their rights for special privileges, by parents to dispute school policies and by employees to contest against job conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Systemically, one can speculate as to the infinite potential of far-reaching implications for the masses.

The Charter guarantees certain political rights to Canadian citizens and civil rights of everyone in Canada from the policies and actions of all levels of government. It is designed to unify Canadians around a set of principles that embody those rights. The Charter was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada on April 17, 1982.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;Mr. Paul Conway, who has been detained on a psychiatric ward for 27 years for sexual assault and assaulting a police officer in the 70s, asked the Ontario Review Board to release him and affirm his rights under the Charter.  However, the board rejected his request because they did not have jurisdiction to rule under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The Ontario Review Board annually reviews the status of every person who has been found to be not criminally responsible or unfit to stand trial for criminal offences on account of a mental disorder. The Ontario Review Board is established under the Criminal Code of Canada. The Board is made up of judges, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists and public members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;Now, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of allowing administrative tribunals to apply the Charter in their fields of expertise.  The ruling opened up the possibility for an array of litigation issues between patients and institutions that can be heard at almost any tribunal in the country.  Moreover, the Charter will likely be used by many others in various circumstances, such as by prisoners to execute their rights for special privileges, by parents to dispute school policies and by employees to contest against job conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Systemically, one can speculate as to the infinite potential of far-reaching implications for the masses. This decision may protect their rights, but my own situation remains status quo. I am locked in the system. I would like to live productively and pro-actively in the community. But, for me, the beat goes on”, says Mr. Conway.&lt;/blockquote&gt;On the surface it seems that prisoners with mental illness will benefit, but many experts see this as a setback.

Additionally, a more recent study has discovered a link between the Hoxb8 gene and behaviors similar to those found in people with obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder (OCD) and that these mice can be cured with a bone marrow transplant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“It turns out that the Hoxb8 gene in question plays an important role in the development of immune cells known as microglia, which reside in the brain. Studies in which the researchers labeled Hoxb8 cells found that they show up in the brain exclusively in bone marrow-derived microglia. When they transplanted healthy bone marrow from control mice into the mutant animals, normal microglia made it to the animals' brains in about four weeks' time and many of the animals then stopped their incessant grooming, allowing their hair to grow back in, within three months of the procedure.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;Microglia is a type of glial cell that acts as the first and main form of active immune defense in the central nervous system.  During the process of blood cellular formation, some hematopoietic stem cells, which are any cells within the bone marrow whose function is to produce blood cells, give rise to microglia.  According to Mario Capecchi of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of Utah School of Medicine, hox genes are heavily involved in hematopoietic stem cells, which are critical for the proper number and placement of embryonic segment structures, such as legs, antennae, and eyes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capecchi explains that “the classic job of microglia, which outnumber neurons in the brain, is to scan the brain for problems […] When they find that something is wrong -- maybe a pathogen has invaded or there has been a stroke -- they change their shape to infiltrate the area and "clean up the mess." Amazingly, microglia can scan the whole brain in only an hour.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These cells maneuver around the brain and make stops at active neuronal synapses monitoring brain activity.  From this research, Capecchi believes that microglia may also regulate neural activity and when it is unable to, as in the case of Hoxb8 mutants, pathologies like OCD-like behaviors may result.  The exact way in which microglia controls brain activity is not yet known; however these findings suggest that the immune system may have a larger role in mental health disorders.  Capecchi states:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"we have provided strong support for the hypothesis that the excessive pathological grooming behavior exhibited by Hoxb8 mutant mice is caused by a defect in microglia. That a behavioral deficit could be corrected by bone marrow transplantation is indeed surprising. The therapeutic implications of our study on amelioration of neurological behavioral deficits in humans have not escaped us."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Capecchi explains that a connection exists between the immune system and disorders such as depression, autism, Alzheimer's, OCD and schizophrenia, but it has never been entirely clear.  This study should lead to more exciting discoveries in how microglia can affect neural activity and behavior.  Perhaps our vast knowledge of the immune system could lead to more discoveries and treatments for mental illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100527122150.htm"&gt;Compulsive Behavior in Mice Cured by Bone Marrow Transplant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microglia"&gt;Microglia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-1446305109187270184?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/uCUTlZCXrp0" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/uCUTlZCXrp0/look-into-future-could-bone-marrow.html' target='_blank'&gt;

The growth of new neurons has been known to diminish the effects of a stroke as well as dramatically improve impaired functions after a stroke, while those types of medications have been found to encourage neurogenesis in rodents.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What this study shows more convincingly than in the past is that the production of new neurons after stroke is beneficial in rodents," said Buck faculty member and senior author David Greenberg, MD, PhD. "Assuming that neurogenesis is also beneficial in humans, drugs approved by the FDA for other purposes and already shown to promote new neuron growth in rodents might be worth studying as a potential treatment for stroke in humans. For example, antidepressants are often used to treat post-stroke depression, but their potential for improving outcome from stroke itself is less certain."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Researchers compared the size of a stroke and the recovery from stroke in genetically altered mice that either had the ability to grow new neurons or not. It was discovered that mice without the ability to grow new neurons suffered strokes 30% larger; whereas the mice with the ability to grow new neurons showed dramatic improvement of motor functions following a stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this new research sounds very exciting, Greenberg cautions that people should not attempt to treat themselves until clear evidence is made official as testing has not been rigorous enough to determine if negative effects exist or whether these positive effects can be seen in humans.  Testing these medications that stimulate the growth of neurons could lead to other exciting discoveries for many other age-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in this country. Treatments for stroke are limited.

This can be due to ischemia (lack of glucose and oxygen supply) caused by thrombosis or embolism or due to a hemorrhage.  As a result, the affected area of the brain is unable to function, leading to inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body, inability to understand or formulate speech, or inability to see one side of the visual field. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What factors lead to a higher risk of stroke?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;advanced age&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;hypertension &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;diabetes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;high cholesterol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;cigarette smoking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;atrial fibrillation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the symptoms of stroke?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Symptoms of a stroke that affects the central nervous system include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;hemiplegia and muscle weakness of the face &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;numbness &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;reduction in sensory or vibratory sensation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Generally, the symptoms affect one side of the body and the side affected is typically opposite to the affected brain area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Symptoms of a stroke that affects the brain stem include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;altered smell, taste, hearing, or vision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;drooping of eyelid and weakness of ocular muscles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;decreased reflexes (gag, swallow, pupil reactivity to light)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;decreased sensation and muscle weakness in the face &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;balance problems and nystagmus (involuntary eye movement)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;altered breathing and heart rate &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;weakness in sternocleidomastoid muscle with an inability to turn the head to one side &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;weakness in tongue (inability to protrude and/or move from side to side)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;Symptoms of a stroke that affects the cerebral cortex include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;aphasia (inability to speak or understand language from involvement of Broca's or Wernicke's area) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;apraxia (altered voluntary movements) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;visual field defect &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;memory deficits (with damage to the temporal lobe) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;hemineglect (a deficit in attention to and awareness of one side of space is observed when there is damage to the parietal lobe) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;disorganized thinking, confusion, hypersexual gestures (with damage to the frontal lobe) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;anosognosia (persistent denial of the existence of a, usually stroke-related, deficit)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;Symptoms of a stroke that affects the cerebellum include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;trouble walking &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;altered movement coordination &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;vertigo and or disequilibrium&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the long-term effects?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disability affects 75% of stroke survivors enough to decrease their employability.

The growth of new neurons has been known to diminish the effects of a stroke as well as dramatically improve impaired functions after a stroke, while those types of medications have been found to encourage neurogenesis in rodents.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What this study shows more convincingly than in the past is that the production of new neurons after stroke is beneficial in rodents," said Buck faculty member and senior author David Greenberg, MD, PhD. "Assuming that neurogenesis is also beneficial in humans, drugs approved by the FDA for other purposes and already shown to promote new neuron growth in rodents might be worth studying as a potential treatment for stroke in humans. For example, antidepressants are often used to treat post-stroke depression, but their potential for improving outcome from stroke itself is less certain."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Researchers compared the size of a stroke and the recovery from stroke in genetically altered mice that either had the ability to grow new neurons or not. It was discovered that mice without the ability to grow new neurons suffered strokes 30% larger; whereas the mice with the ability to grow new neurons showed dramatic improvement of motor functions following a stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this new research sounds very exciting, Greenberg cautions that people should not attempt to treat themselves until clear evidence is made official as testing has not been rigorous enough to determine if negative effects exist or whether these positive effects can be seen in humans.  Testing these medications that stimulate the growth of neurons could lead to other exciting discoveries for many other age-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in this country. Treatments for stroke are limited.

In doing so, the repaired membranes of nerve cells can re-establish the spinal cord's ability to transmit signals to the brain, thus restoring motor abilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Chitosan (pronounced /?ka?t?sæn/) is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed ?-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit).”  It is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin, a derivative of glucose.  Chitin can be found in crabs, lobsters, shrimps, insects, squid, octopuses and cell walls of fungi to name a few.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Firstly, the researchers converted chitin to chitosan.  They then isolated and compressed a segment of a guinea pig’s spinal cord.  Following this, they applied chitosan and a fluorescent dye into the cells through damaged membranes.  All of the neurons in the spinal cord tissue remained unstained by the dye under the microscope.  While measuring the guinea pig’s brain response, it was noted that signals could not reach the brain because of the damaged spinal cord. “However, 30•min after injecting chitosan into the rodents, the signals miraculously returned to the animals' brains.”  Hence, the nerve cells had been successfully repaired.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Borgens and his team also discovered that the levels of LDH leakage from the spinal cord tissue treated with chitosan were lower than those in undamaged spinal cords.  “Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+.  It converts pyruvate, the final product of glycolysis to lactate when oxygen is absent or in short supply, and it performs the reverse reaction during the cori cycle in the liver.”  Understanding the function of LDH is quite complex, however, in layman’s terms, high levels of LDH are an indication of tissue breakdown or necrosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the researchers uncovered that the sugar repaired any damaged portions of the cell membrane, not only the compressed portion.  During their studies, they also found that chitosan could likely be used to repair mitochondrial membranes.  “Mitochondria have been implicated in several human diseases, including mitochondrial disorders and cardiac dysfunction, and may play a role in the aging process.”  Could further research lead to developing treatments for certain genetic disorder and neurodegenerative diseases?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitosan" target="_blank"&gt;Chitosan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100416094012.htm" target="_blank"&gt;First Evidence That Chitosan Could Repair Spinal Damage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_dehydrogenase" target="_blank"&gt;Lactate dehydrogenase&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondria" target="_blank"&gt;Mitochondrion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2324090614195735179?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/CIlDH60oWMQ" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/CIlDH60oWMQ/chitosan-could-heal-spinal-cord.html' target='_blank'&gt;

In doing so, the repaired membranes of nerve cells can re-establish the spinal cord's ability to transmit signals to the brain, thus restoring motor abilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Chitosan (pronounced /?ka?t?sæn/) is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed ?-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit).”  It is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin, a derivative of glucose.  Chitin can be found in crabs, lobsters, shrimps, insects, squid, octopuses and cell walls of fungi to name a few.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Firstly, the researchers converted chitin to chitosan.  They then isolated and compressed a segment of a guinea pig’s spinal cord.  Following this, they applied chitosan and a fluorescent dye into the cells through damaged membranes.  All of the neurons in the spinal cord tissue remained unstained by the dye under the microscope.  While measuring the guinea pig’s brain response, it was noted that signals could not reach the brain because of the damaged spinal cord. “However, 30•min after injecting chitosan into the rodents, the signals miraculously returned to the animals' brains.”  Hence, the nerve cells had been successfully repaired.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Borgens and his team also discovered that the levels of LDH leakage from the spinal cord tissue treated with chitosan were lower than those in undamaged spinal cords.  “Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+.

Researchers at Duke University and Emory University suggest in their recent analysis that functional MRI can be used as a cost-effective marketing tool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a type of specialized MRI scan. It measures the hemodynamic response (change in blood flow) related to neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals. It is one of the most recently developed forms of neuroimaging. Since the early 1990s, fMRI has come to dominate the brain mapping field due to its relatively low invasiveness, absence of radiation exposure, and relatively wide availability.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So-called "neuromarketing" takes the tools of modern brain science, like the functional MRI, and applies them to the somewhat abstract likes and dislikes of customer decision-making.  Though this raises the specter of marketers being able to read people's minds (more than they already do), neuromarketing may prove to be an affordable way for marketers to gather information that was previously unobtainable, or that consumers themselves may not even be fully aware of, says Dan Ariely, the James B. Duke professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;In essence, the results from the study of brain scans that boost sales for materialistic items like food and cars is viewed as more valuable than the understanding of mental illness.  Evidently, many people view this as a misuse or abuse of valuable medical resources in an attempt at controlling society.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no need to describe the obvious ethical issues involved in such techniques that allows marketers to peek into the brains of their consumers, but considerations must be given to consumers’ awareness, consent, and understanding of what could be an invasion of privacy.  Moreover, how could toy companies employ such a method?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite these concerns, this type of marketing technique could actually do some good by reducing the number of advertisements that use shock tactics and sexual imagery as main selling points for their products.  In addition, companies might actually improve their products to meet consumer expectancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously the main function of this technique is not to increase scientific knowledge, but a by-product of such marketing tools could lead to a better understanding of how the human brain creates, stores, recalls and relates information.  Furthermore, side-effects of such studies could also mean healthier advertising, for instance, reducing negative influences that lead to over-consumption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is where advertising is going, we can only hope that companies will employ professionals to interpret the brain scans as images must be carefully interpreted by individuals with extensive training since misinterpretation could have serious consequences, even for companies promoting their products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Neuromarketing may never be cheap enough to replace focus groups and other methods used to assess existing products and advertising, but it could have real promise in gauging the conscious and unconscious reactions of consumers in the design phase of such varied products as "food, entertainment, buildings and political candidates," Ariely says.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless, there could never be enough benefits from this type of marketing to hold more value than the fMRI’s initial intent, in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100304112233.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Brain Scans Could Be Marketing Tool of the Future&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fmri" target="_blank"&gt;Functional magnetic resonance imaging&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/984149/What-is-Neuromarketing" target="_blank"&gt;What is ‘neuromarketing’?

In addition, they found an increased risk of death in breast cancer patients the longer both drugs were taken concurrently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamoxifen is a popular breast cancer treatment that can be taken for up to five years to prevent a recurrence.  Conversely, paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant that is typically used to treat major depression, obsessive-compulsive, panic,social anxiety, and generalized anxiety.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paroxetine has revealed promise for easing the hot flashes that can occur after cancer treatment.  However, this anti-depressant has been known to have side effects such as nausea, somnolence, and sexual problems.  This medication is also associated with significant weight gain and adult suicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers studied the health records of 2,430 women taking tamoxifen between the years 1993 and 2005.  They discovered that roughly 25% or 630 of these women were also taking paroxetine.  Of the 1,074 women that died during this period, 374 of them died from breast cancer according to Ontario's cancer registry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Tamoxifen is an extremely important drug for breast cancer," said Dr. David Juurlink, a co-author of the study and a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto. Paroxetine "takes that benefit away by interfering with the body's normal handling of tamoxifen.  Specifically, researchers concluded that paroxetine blocks or inhibits an enzyme called cytochrome P450 2D6, which is needed to metabolize tamoxifen into its active form.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Although the evidence suggests that this anti-depressant must be stopped, researchers caution against abruptly ceasing treatment with paroxetine because of withdrawal effects and worsening of depressive symptoms.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, the study did not find any increased risk of death among the smaller sample of women taking tamoxifen combined with some other SSRI, such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa) and venlafaxine (Effexor).  However, this smaller sample size may confound the study’s conclusiveness; however it does suggest that attractive alternatives exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, there are always unanswered questions when it comes to research that focus on health records as several variables are unknown and uncontrolled.  That being said, the slightest risk identified should be enough to stop using this medication, especially when there are equally effective substitutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, in recent news…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“In the first Paxil birth defect trial that resulted in a $2.5 million verdict against GlaxoSmithKline in October 2009, the infant, Lyam Kilker, was born with three heart defects; an atrial septal defect, a ventricular septal defect, and an interrupted aortic arch, after his mother took Paxil while pregnant.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2010/02/09/breast-cancer-ssri-tamoxifen.html#ixzz0g642uc2q" target="_blank"&gt;Antidepressant interferes with breast-cancer drug&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxetine" target="_blank"&gt;Paroxetine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Paxil-Birth-Defect-Trial--by-Evelyn-Pringle-100219-195.html" target="_blank"&gt;Paxil Birth Defect Trial - Battle of the Experts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-1431943133091858464?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/I1_cCUFuJxU" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/I1_cCUFuJxU/paxil-reduces-benefits-of-cancer.html' target='_blank'&gt;

Computer-mediated forms of counseling include e-mails or chats online with a therapist; however cyberpsychology is not limited to the use of internet technology as it also includes cyborgs, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.  This type of therapy can be used to treat various types of mental illness including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PTSD is common in soldiers returning from combat duty, victims of sexual or physical assault and survivors of imprisonment or hostage situations.  It is also common among individual that have experienced acts of terrorism, accidents or natural disasters and those diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.  Conventional approaches to treat PTSD include antidepressant medication and psychotherapy; however recovery rates are far from acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Exposure therapy has been recognized as a highly promising method for treating patients with PTSD. Rather than relying on patients' visualization skills to ‘relive’ the traumatic experience, technological strategies such as virtual reality (VR) provide a controlled environment in which patients can experience a situation or scenario while learning to cope with their emotional responses.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When natural disasters occur relief efforts typically focus on immediate needs, such food, clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional support and family reunification.  Treatment of ongoing mental health should play a vital role in the response.  The implementation of this type of tool could have major benefits for mass casualty survivors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Haiti, for instance, individuals are experiencing major losses that will affect them for years to come.  The loss of loved ones, displacement, medical injuries and material loss are all psychologically devastating.  In addition, the victims of this tragedy are likely to be disturbed by memories of the trauma and experience flashbacks of mass graves and friends, neighbours and even family members burned or trapped under collapsed buildings.  Furthermore, the destroyed buildings and homes, and the absence of family members will continue to serve as traumatic reminders.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“‘Empty situations’ posed by the sense of an absence of personal location, deprives the victim of a safe ‘holding environment’ so necessary for the recovery process.  These secondary adversities caused by displacement function as a barrier to the effort required in ‘processing’ the trauma of personal loss.”  Rebuilding the lost structure in their lives is necessary for recovery, however efforts cannot end there.  Extended treatment is essential to full or near full recovery, therefore, funding should be applied to ongoing mental health treatment.  Virtual reality treatment in safe clinical settings could be part of that effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtual reality treatment is not a quick fix.  It consists of many sessions of gradual exposure and it is most often combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and anxiety management in order to cope with the recreation of the traumatic events.  It is important to note that the virtual recreation consists only of certain aspects of the event and not the exact recreation of the event itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evidently, time, money and effort of this type of approach far exceeds the efforts of distributing supplies, however success rates are far more important than quick and easy methods.  Moreover, this type of therapy should really be considered for relief personnel as their mental health is also at risk from their experiences.  Recovering from the effects of a natural disaster is a lengthy process and the treatment for its effects on mental health is an even lengthier one.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100211163118.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Virtual Reality and Other Technologies Offer Hope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpsychology" target="_blank"&gt;Cyberpsychology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/recovering-trauma/201001/the-risk-ptsd-following-the-earthquake-in-haiti" target="_blank"&gt;The risk of PTSD following the earthquake in Haiti&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-5370075355943686121?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/avNMs4rK42A" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/avNMs4rK42A/virtual-reality-therapy-could-benefit.html' target='_blank'&gt;

Conventional approaches to treat PTSD include antidepressant medication and psychotherapy; however recovery rates are far from acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Exposure therapy has been recognized as a highly promising method for treating patients with PTSD. Rather than relying on patients' visualization skills to ‘relive’ the traumatic experience, technological strategies such as virtual reality (VR) provide a controlled environment in which patients can experience a situation or scenario while learning to cope with their emotional responses.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When natural disasters occur relief efforts typically focus on immediate needs, such food, clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional support and family reunification.  Treatment of ongoing mental health should play a vital role in the response.  The implementation of this type of tool could have major benefits for mass casualty survivors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Haiti, for instance, individuals are experiencing major losses that will affect them for years to come.  The loss of loved ones, displacement, medical injuries and material loss are all psychologically devastating.  In addition, the victims of this tragedy are likely to be disturbed by memories of the trauma and experience flashbacks of mass graves and friends, neighbours and even family members burned or trapped under collapsed buildings.  Furthermore, the destroyed buildings and homes, and the absence of family members will continue to serve as traumatic reminders.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“‘Empty situations’ posed by the sense of an absence of personal location, deprives the victim of a safe ‘holding environment’ so necessary for the recovery process.  These secondary adversities caused by displacement function as a barrier to the effort required in ‘processing’ the trauma of personal loss.”  Rebuilding the lost structure in their lives is necessary for recovery, however efforts cannot end there.  Extended treatment is essential to full or near full recovery, therefore, funding should be applied to ongoing mental health treatment.  Virtual reality treatment in safe clinical settings could be part of that effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtual reality treatment is not a quick fix.  It consists of many sessions of gradual exposure and it is most often combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and anxiety management in order to cope with the recreation of the traumatic events.  It is important to note that the virtual recreation consists only of certain aspects of the event and not the exact recreation of the event itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evidently, time, money and effort of this type of approach far exceeds the efforts of distributing supplies, however success rates are far more important than quick and easy methods.  Moreover, this type of therapy should really be considered for relief personnel as their mental health is also at risk from their experiences.  Recovering from the effects of a natural disaster is a lengthy process and the treatment for its effects on mental health is an even lengthier one.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100211163118.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Virtual Reality and Other Technologies Offer Hope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpsychology" target="_blank"&gt;Cyberpsychology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/recovering-trauma/201001/the-risk-ptsd-following-the-earthquake-in-haiti" target="_blank"&gt;The risk of PTSD following the earthquake in Haiti&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-5370075355943686121?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/avNMs4rK42A" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/avNMs4rK42A/virtual-reality-therapy-could-benefit.html' target='_blank'&gt;

It is the most common type of traumatic brain injury.  The terms mild brain injury, mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), mild head injury (MHI), and minor head trauma and concussion are often used interchangeably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &lt;em&gt;American Academy of Neurology Guidelines &lt;/em&gt;ranks the severity of a concussion into 3 grades:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Grade I&lt;/em&gt; - Confusion, symptoms last &lt; 15 minutes, no loss of consciousness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Grade II&lt;/em&gt; - Symptoms last &gt; 15 minutes, no loss of consciousness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Grade III&lt;/em&gt; - Loss of consciousness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concussion Symptoms:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Headache &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vomiting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nausea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lack of motor coordination&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Difficulty balancing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Light sensitivity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seeing bright lights&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blurred vision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Double vision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tinnitus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Convulsions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Confusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Disorientation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Difficulty focusing attention&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loss of consciousness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Post-traumatic amnesia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Confusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Slurred or incoherent speech&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changes in sleeping patterns&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Difficulty with reasoning, concentrating, and performing everyday activities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Crankiness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loss of interest in favorite activities or items&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tearfulness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Displays of emotion that are inappropriate to the situation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;**Common symptoms in children include restlessness, lethargy, and irritability&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Typically symptoms will go away without treatment.  Roughly 1% of treated concussions require surgery for a brain injury.  Most often plenty of rest is prescribed with a gradual return to normal activities at a pace that does not cause symptoms to worsen. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Medications may be prescribed to treat symptoms associated with the concussion, such as sleep problems and depression.  Analgesics such as ibuprofen can be taken for headaches that frequently occur after a concussion, but acetaminophen is preferred to minimize the risk for complications, such as intracranial hemorrhage.  Individuals are advised not to drink alcohol or take drugs that have not been approved by a doctor as they may interfere with the healing process.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observation to monitor for worsening condition is an important part of treatment.  Unconsciousness or altered mental status, convulsions, severe, persistent headache, extremity weakness, vomiting, or new bleeding or deafness in either or both ears suggests that another visit to the doctor is needed.  No conclusive evidence suggests that it is necessary to wake a patient up every few hours or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symptoms usually go away entirely within three weeks, though they may persist, or complications may occur. Although the mortality rate is almost zero, repeated concussions can cause cumulative brain damage such as dementia pugilistica or severe complications such as second-impact syndrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certain factors may lengthen recovery time, such as longer periods of amnesia or loss of consciousness, substance abuse, clinical depression, poor health or additional injuries sustained and life stress.  For unknown reasons, having had one concussion significantly increases a person's risk of having another.  Having previously sustained a concussion has been found to be a strong factor increasing the likelihood of a concussion in the future. The prognosis is likely to differ between adults and children; however little research has been done on concussion in the pediatric population.  Concern exists that severe concussions could interfere with brain development in children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A 2009 study published in &lt;em&gt;Brain &lt;/em&gt;found that individuals with a history of concussions might demonstrate a decline in both physical and mental performance for longer than 30 years. Compared to their peers with no history of brain trauma, victims of concussion exhibited the following effects:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;• A decrease in episodic memory (times, places, associated emotions, and other contextual knowledge)&lt;br /&gt;• A decrease in response inhibition &lt;br /&gt;• Delayed P3a/P3b waves recorded via EEG&lt;br /&gt;• An increase in the cortical silence period &lt;br /&gt;• Reduced muscle speed otherwise known as bradykinesia (slow movement)&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In recent news, Canadian researchers suggest that the term concussion is scraped from medical terminology as doctors and parents quite often underestimate the severity of these types of injuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Carol DeMatteo, an occupational therapist and associate clinical professor in the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., says children diagnosed with concussions are treated differently from kids with other mild brain injuries.”  These children are often sent home from the hospital and returned to school much sooner than those treated for mild brain injuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term mild brain injury takes on a more negative connotation that concussion, which tends to suggests that the prognosis is obviously good.

On 16 March 2009, Richardson sustained a head injury when she fell while taking a skiing lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec. The injury was followed by a lucid interval, when she appeared to be fine as she was able to talk and act normally. Paramedics were told they were not needed.  She returned to her hotel room and about three hours later was taken to a local hospital in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts after complaining of a headache. About 7 hours following her fall, she was transferred by ambulance to Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur, in Montreal, in critical condition. The following day she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she died on 18 March.  An autopsy conducted by the New York City Medical Examiners Office on 19 March revealed the cause of death was an "epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head", and her death was ruled an accident.  There is a lot of controversy surrounding her death as many believe it could have been prevented with proper medical care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the term "mild traumatic brain injury" replaced "concussion", it would help people understand that this type of injury is serious and that it is an injury to the brain, not just the head.  It could also save lives and prevent more serious complications later in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100118/concussion_100118/20100118/?hub=TorontoNewHome" target="_blank"&gt;'Concussion' underplays severity of injury: doctors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussion" target="_blank"&gt;Concussion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Richardson" target="_blank"&gt;Natasha Richardson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-5330329585039491710?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/MkLrrX2jNQw" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/MkLrrX2jNQw/its-not-concussion-its-brain-injury.html' target='_blank'&gt;

She returned to her hotel room and about three hours later was taken to a local hospital in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts after complaining of a headache. About 7 hours following her fall, she was transferred by ambulance to Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur, in Montreal, in critical condition. The following day she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she died on 18 March.  An autopsy conducted by the New York City Medical Examiners Office on 19 March revealed the cause of death was an "epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head", and her death was ruled an accident.  There is a lot of controversy surrounding her death as many believe it could have been prevented with proper medical care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the term "mild traumatic brain injury" replaced "concussion", it would help people understand that this type of injury is serious and that it is an injury to the brain, not just the head.  It could also save lives and prevent more serious complications later in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100118/concussion_100118/20100118/?hub=TorontoNewHome" target="_blank"&gt;'Concussion' underplays severity of injury: doctors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussion" target="_blank"&gt;Concussion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Richardson" target="_blank"&gt;Natasha Richardson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-5330329585039491710?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/MkLrrX2jNQw" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/MkLrrX2jNQw/its-not-concussion-its-brain-injury.html' target='_blank'&gt;

It was noted during their first follow up between one and three years later that roughly 5,500 of those women had begun taking antidepressants. “The research team compared that group's subsequent history of cardiovascular disease with that of participants who had not started taking antidepressants.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Results showed that the women taking antidepressants had a small, but statistically significant increased risk of stroke and/or death compared to participants declaring that they were not taking antidepressants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lead author, Jordan W. Smoller, MD, ScD, of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Psychiatry, explains that although it is necessary to treat depression because it is a serious illness, it is equally important for older women to discuss their treatment options with their physician before committing to one because of the various risks involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DSM IV defines depression as experiencing feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness.  It is a state of low mood and aversion to activity.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants have fewer side effects in general and are known to have aspirin-like effects on bleeding, which could protect against clot-related cardiovascular disorders.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although no relationship was established between antidepressant use and heart disease, follow-up appointments nearly six years later indicated that participants using antidepressants had an increased risk of death and those treated with SSRIs had an increased risk of stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though results seem frightening it seems to me that further investigation is needed as there are several problems with this study. The researchers have not distinguished whether the problem really lies within the link between antidepressants and cardiovascular disease or depression itself and cardiovascular disease.  Prior studies will show that depression has risks that are just as high as those who use antidepressants in this study.  If anything, the study may indicate that treatment with antidepressants could exacerbate those risks.  After careful review of this study, it seems difficult to place blame on antidepressants, but more could be revealed with further investigation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, the study does not specify whether these women were being treated for depression or for anxiety nor is there any indication that lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking or diet have been accounted for.  Furthermore, the study is too group-specific; therefore it cannot suggest that results can be generalized to the other populations, such as men or premenopausal women unfortunately.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the lack of concrete evidence, it seems logical that women with cardiovascular risks would benefit from exploring treatment options other than antidepressants, but in the end, for most, the benefits of antidepressants may far outweigh the costs.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091214162311.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Increased Risk of Death, Stroke in Postmenopausal Women Taking Antidepressants, Study Finds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/maois/MH00072" target="_blank"&gt;Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.depressioncanada.com/medications.php" target="_blank"&gt;Medications for Treating Depression&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-4106834469659761122?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/ffEdA05oVIE" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/ffEdA05oVIE/antidepressants-may-increase-risk-of.html' target='_blank'&gt;

Snitz, Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, demonstrates that the use of the herbal supplement Ginkgo biloba does not slow the rate of cognitive decline among older adults as construed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial included 3,069 community-dwelling participants, ages 72 to 96 years, who received a twice-daily dose of 120-mg extract of G biloba (n = 1,545) or identical-appearing placebo (n = 1,524). The study was conducted at six academic medical centers in the United States between 2000 and 2008, with a median (midpoint) follow-up of 6.1 years. Change in cognition was assessed by various tests and measures.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2000, older adults that had normal to mild cognitive impairment were chosen and observed.  The researchers placed the subjects into 3 distinct groups.  Some were given a placebo over the 8 year period.  Others were given either Ginkgo biloba or the placebo, where their group identity was not disclosed to the participant or the experimenter.  The third group was randomly assigned to either of the groups.  Double-blind studies are said to achieve greater scientific rigor than other types of research.  The conclusion of this double-blind study is that Ginkgo biloba is not effective in reducing the incidence of Alzheimer dementia or dementia in general.  In addition, no evidence was found to support any effects on memory, language, attention, visuospatial abilities and executive functions. Furthermore, no differences were detected through age, sex, race, education or baseline cognitive status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, no evidence was found to support the widely marketed fact that Ginkgo biloba slows the rate of cognitive decline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Ginkgo Biloba?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ginkgos are very large trees, normally reaching a height of 66–115 feet, with some specimens in China being over 50 m. The tree has an angular crown and long, somewhat erratic branches, and is usually deep rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage. A combination of resistance to disease, insect-resistant wood and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts makes ginkgos long-lived, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old.  Extreme examples of the Ginkgo's tenacity may be seen in Hiroshima, Japan, where six trees growing between 1–2 km from the 1945 atom bomb explosion were among the few living things in the area to survive the blast. While almost all other plants and animals in the area were destroyed, the ginkgos, though charred, survived and were soon healthy again. The trees are alive to this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extracts of Ginkgo leaves contain flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids and have been used pharmaceutically. Ginkgo supplements are usually taken in the range of 40–200 mg per day. Ginkgo has many alleged nootropic properties, and is mainly used as a memory and concentration enhancer, and an anti-vertigo agent.  According to some studies, in a few cases, Ginkgo can significantly improve attention in healthy individuals. Allegedly, the effect is almost immediate and reaches its peak in 2.5 hours after intake.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ginkgo has been used for…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alzheimer's disease&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improving blood flow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Protecting against oxidative cell damage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blocking the effects of platelet-activating factor (platelet aggregation, blood clotting)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Intermittent claudication&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Easing the symptoms of tinnitus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improving cognition and fatigue in those with multiple sclerosis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Arresting the development of vitiligo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Ginkgo may have undesirable effects, especially for individuals with blood circulation disorders and those taking anticoagulants such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or warfarin.  Ginkgo should also not be used by people who are taking certain types of antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or by pregnant women, without first consulting a doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Side effects can include…&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;possible increased risk of bleeding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;gastrointestinal discomfort&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;nausea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;vomiting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;diarrhea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;headaches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;dizziness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;heart palpitations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;restlessness&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other precautions…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ginkgo biloba leaves contain long-chain alkylphenols together with the extremely potent allergens, the urushiols (similar to poison ivy). Individuals with a history of strong allergic reactions to poison ivy, mangoes, and other urushiol-producing plants are more likely to experience an adverse reaction when consuming Ginkgo-containing pills, combinations, or extracts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nut-like gametophytes inside the seeds are particularly esteemed in Asia, and are a traditional Chinese food.  When eaten by children, in large quantities (over 5 seeds a day), or over a long period, the raw gametophyte (meat) of the seed can cause poisoning by MPN (4-methoxypyridoxine). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to remember that herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA in the US and Canada’s regulation of such health products is quite often confusing and inconsistent.  Therefore, personal responsibility is essential when relying on this type of treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091229164938.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Ginkgo Biloba Does Not Appear to Slow Rate of Cognitive Decline&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginkgo_biloba" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2902923242713035124?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/H4K3zucjhX8" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/H4K3zucjhX8/no-supportive-evidence-for-benefits-of.html' target='_blank'&gt;

It was developed in Germany in the early twentieth century as an appetite suppressant, but today it is consumed for its hallucinogenic and stimulant effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who uses ecstasy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most MDMA users are teenagers or young adults. More than 10% of high school seniors have tried MDMA at least once, and more than 2% have used the drug in the past month, according to the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Survey. MDMA users typically come from middle- and upper-class households. MDMA is inexpensive. The average retail price of an MDMA tablet is between $20 and $30 making it attractive and accessible to younger users.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the potential risks of ecstasy use?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects produced by consuming MDMA can last for 4 to 6 hours, depending upon the potency of the tablet. Using the drug can cause confusion, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, craving for the drug, and paranoia. Use of the drug also may result in muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, tremors, rapid eye movement, sweating, or chills. People who have circulatory problems or heart disease face particular risks because MDMA can increase heart rate and blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Sleep Apnea?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinically significant levels of sleep apnea are defined as five or more episodes per hour of any type of apnea. There are three distinct forms of sleep apnea: central, obstructive, and complex (a combination of central and obstructive).  Breathing is interrupted by a lack of respiratory effort in central sleep apnea, while breathing is interrupted by a physical block to airflow despite respiratory effort in obstructive sleep apnea. In complex (or "mixed") sleep apnea, there is a transition from central to obstructive features during the events themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious breathing problem that interrupts your sleep.  It means you have short pauses in your breathing when you sleep. These breathing pauses – called apneas or apnea events – last for 10 to 30 seconds or longer. People with obstructive sleep apnea can stop breathing dozens or hundreds of times each night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obstructive sleep apnea (also called OSA or obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome) stops you from having the restful sleep you need to stay healthy. If it’s not treated, sleep apnea can lead to major health problems, accidents, and early death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The two main symptoms of sleep apnea are:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re very sleepy during the day, but you don’t know why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You snore and have pauses in your breathing while sleeping.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some other signs and symptoms of sleep apnea are:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have high blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re irritable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You gasp or choke during sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re very tired (you have fatigue).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re depressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can’t concentrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have morning headaches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have memory problems/ memory loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;For men: you have impotence (difficulty keeping an erection).&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How is Sleep Apnea treated?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (C.P.A.P.). CPAP is the first choice treatment for all mild and moderate sleep apnea. It's the only effective treatment for severe sleep apnea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have mild or moderate sleep apnea, your doctor may recommend one of these alternate treatments instead of CPAP:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Making lifestyle changes: losing weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dental appliances &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Surgery, including tonsillectomy and UPPP (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Sleep apnea can lead to various health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, neurological problems, cognitive deficits, impulsive behaviour and altered brain wave patterns during sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study included 71 MDMA users that were recruited from newspaper and flyer ads seeking “club drug users”.  The MDMA users had all used at least 25 times in their past.  This amount appears to be significant enough to cause lasting effects on serotonin levels.  Researchers also recruited 62 participants with similar patterns of illegal drug use.  All of the volunteers were physically and psychologically healthy and had abstained from using for at least 2 weeks prior to participating in the study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the study subjects were hooked up to various machines that measured breathing such as air flow monitors in the nose and mouth and bands around the chest and abdomen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The researchers diagnosed sleep apnea by counting the rate of incidences of shallow or suppressed breathing, with mild apnea requiring five to 14 of these incidences, moderate apnea requiring 15 to 29, and severe apnea requiring 30 or more.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Results of mild sleep apnea were similar in both groups where 15 MDMA users and 13 of the control group were affected.  There were 8 MDMA users that had moderate sleep apnea and one had the most severe form of the disorder.  Most shocking is that of the 24 with sleep apnea, 22 were 31 years of age or younger.  The control group had no participants that fell into the moderate or severe forms of this disorder.  In addition, it seems the amount of MDMA use is associated with the severity of sleep apnea as those who had used more in the past had more severe forms of the disorder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Though the researchers suspect that the cause for the MDMA users' sleep apnea centers on affected serotonin neurons, the exact mechanism remains a mystery. McCann explains that these neurons appear to help sense blood oxygen levels, control airway opening and generate breathing rhythms. Any of these pathways could be separately influenced by ecstasy use, she says.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091202162332.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Ecstasy Use May Lead to Sleep Apnea: Illegal 'Club Drug' Poisons Neurons Involved in Control of Breathing during Sleep&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea" target="_blank"&gt;Sleep Apnea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lung.ca/diseases-maladies/apnea-apnee/treatment-traitement/index_e.php" target="_blank"&gt;Canadian Lung Association&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.justice.gov/ndic/pubs3/3494/index.htm#What" target="_blank"&gt;National Drug Intelligence Center&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2882861918841369558?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/9ibsdi8EuhE" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/9ibsdi8EuhE/ecstasy-may-cause-sleep-apnea.html' target='_blank'&gt;

It's believed that as many as 25 million Americans will change their behavior today because of superstition: They’ll stay away from shopping malls and won't set foot on airplanes. The cost of all this fear comes close to $800 million per day in lost business, according to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word is derived from three Greek words: &lt;em&gt;paraskevi &lt;/em&gt;meaning Friday, &lt;em&gt;dekatrels &lt;/em&gt;meaning thirteen and &lt;em&gt;phobia&lt;/em&gt;, which means fear.  From a mental health perspective, a phobia is an intense irrational fear of objects, events or situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday the 13th appears to be safer than any other typical Friday according to Dutch researchers with the Center for Insurance Statistics as results show that traffic accidents, fires and thefts seem to be fewer on these superstitious days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A “Finnish study in 2002 found that women have a 63 percent greater risk of dying in traffic accidents on that date.”  It seems the reasoning behind this statistic is that a fear that something bad will happen actually increases the likelihood that a person will crash.  The British Medical Journal studied traffic accidents on Friday the 6th versus Friday the 13th and concluded that “The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home is recommended.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of California Professor David Phillips has found no significant increase in deaths on Friday the 13th when analyzing death certificates.  He did, however, notice an increase of deaths among Americans of Japanese and Chinese ancestry on the 4th of every month.

It's believed that as many as 25 million Americans will change their behavior today because of superstition: They’ll stay away from shopping malls and won't set foot on airplanes. The cost of all this fear comes close to $800 million per day in lost business, according to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word is derived from three Greek words: &lt;em&gt;paraskevi &lt;/em&gt;meaning Friday, &lt;em&gt;dekatrels &lt;/em&gt;meaning thirteen and &lt;em&gt;phobia&lt;/em&gt;, which means fear.  From a mental health perspective, a phobia is an intense irrational fear of objects, events or situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday the 13th appears to be safer than any other typical Friday according to Dutch researchers with the Center for Insurance Statistics as results show that traffic accidents, fires and thefts seem to be fewer on these superstitious days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A “Finnish study in 2002 found that women have a 63 percent greater risk of dying in traffic accidents on that date.”  It seems the reasoning behind this statistic is that a fear that something bad will happen actually increases the likelihood that a person will crash.  The British Medical Journal studied traffic accidents on Friday the 6th versus Friday the 13th and concluded that “The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home is recommended.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of California Professor David Phillips has found no significant increase in deaths on Friday the 13th when analyzing death certificates.  He did, however, notice an increase of deaths among Americans of Japanese and Chinese ancestry on the 4th of every month.  The number 4 is considered an unlucky number among the Chinese and Japanese as this number sounds almost exactly like the word death in Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese.  “Across the United States, he found 13 percent more Asian American cardiac-related deaths on the fourth than expected. In California, where these populations are concentrated, he discovered 27 percent more deaths“.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anything people should fear those who are superstitious instead of the superstition itself.

In other words, our judgement on the truthfulness of religious statements occurs within the same brain regions, despite whether we believe or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study included 30 adult subjects, in which half were devout Christians and the remaining half were non-believers.  All subjects judged the reliability of religious and non-religious statements while undergoing three functional MRI (fMRI) scans.  The statements used were certain to generate agreement in both groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), a brain region said to be involved with reward and judgements of self-relevance, showed increased activity when evaluating statements related to beliefs in God, the Virgin Birth and ordinary facts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, religious thought appears to be more associated with areas of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex that govern emotion, self-representation and cognitive conflict in both believers and nonbelievers.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversely, our thoughts about ordinary facts seem more reliant upon areas associated with memory retrieval.  This study helps to illustrate that no matter how much or how often religion is forced upon us, our brains still believe that religion is not based on factual knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, “activity in the brain's anterior cingulate cortex, an area associated with cognitive conflict and uncertainty, suggested that both believers and nonbelievers experienced greater uncertainty when evaluating religious statements.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This research suggests that one day it may be possible to distinguish religious belief versus disbelief via neuroimaging techniques.  “These results may have many areas of application — ranging from the neuropsychology of religion, to the use of 'belief-detection' as a surrogate for 'lie-detection,' to understanding how the practice of science itself, and truth-claims generally, emerge from the biology of the human brain." In addition, this type of research could shed new light on the study of cult behaviours. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091005092302.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Where Religious Belief And Disbelief Meet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-7587025597665130733?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/jmuyopSHgc8" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/jmuyopSHgc8/brain-can-distinguish-religion-from.html' target='_blank'&gt;

The statements used were certain to generate agreement in both groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), a brain region said to be involved with reward and judgements of self-relevance, showed increased activity when evaluating statements related to beliefs in God, the Virgin Birth and ordinary facts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, religious thought appears to be more associated with areas of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex that govern emotion, self-representation and cognitive conflict in both believers and nonbelievers.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversely, our thoughts about ordinary facts seem more reliant upon areas associated with memory retrieval.  This study helps to illustrate that no matter how much or how often religion is forced upon us, our brains still believe that religion is not based on factual knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, “activity in the brain's anterior cingulate cortex, an area associated with cognitive conflict and uncertainty, suggested that both believers and nonbelievers experienced greater uncertainty when evaluating religious statements.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This research suggests that one day it may be possible to distinguish religious belief versus disbelief via neuroimaging techniques.  “These results may have many areas of application — ranging from the neuropsychology of religion, to the use of 'belief-detection' as a surrogate for 'lie-detection,' to understanding how the practice of science itself, and truth-claims generally, emerge from the biology of the human brain." In addition, this type of research could shed new light on the study of cult behaviours. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091005092302.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Where Religious Belief And Disbelief Meet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;© www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-7587025597665130733?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/jmuyopSHgc8" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/jmuyopSHgc8/brain-can-distinguish-religion-from.html' target='_blank'&gt;

And some say it's even more common than previously thought. For one, it's now believed to be common in adults - not just children - and that a diagnosis of ADHD doesn't always have all the symptoms commonly associated with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means you don't have to be hyperactive to have ADHD, though what you have would then be characterized by ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder, not Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out there are several types of ADHD each with its own criteria. There's the typical hyperactive form and then the inattentive form, characterized by poor attention. And then there's the combined form, which has both. That puts the total at three, but some have argued for the existence of six different types.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are good and bad aspects to this wider approach. On the one hand, it means that effected adults will greater understand what's going on in their life and potentially get access to treatment. On the other, it's part of a trend that increasingly makes normal human experiences into mental disorders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, it's only human to occasionally feel restless, unable to focus, or distractible. And despite claims of some ADHD proponents, there's still no real test for ADHD like there is for Diabetes. There are diagnostic lists, but ultimately no black and white physical signs of the condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet there is research being done into this, and the signs seem to be that there is some evidence on a neural level for ADHD. Importantly, ADHD is genetic, meaning it runs in families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Treatment for ADHD is no simple matter. Although the medications seem to be safe, they are potent stimulants, all of which have been used as street drug. Adderall, for instance, is also popular as "speed."  While medications work most of the time, especially when combined with supportive therapy, it's not clear what that means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stimulant medications are, after all, also used by college studies to cram for tests. Some say that they would help anyone focus and be less impulsive. Proponents respond that stimulants seem to have a paradoxical calming effect on people with ADHD. Instead of making them hyperactive and energetic, stimulants might calm them down and help them be focused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately, everyone is a little ADD.

A gene that regulates the mu-opioid receptors in the brain that alleviates physical pain also kills the pain of social rejection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Their study indicates that variation in the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), often associated with physical pain, is related to how much social pain a person feels in response to social rejection. People with a rare form of the gene are more sensitive to rejection and experience more brain evidence of distress in response to rejection than those with the more common form.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;Researchers examined the responses of 122 participants from self-report surveys on sensitivity to social rejection, after having collected and assessed their saliva to determine which OPRM1 gene they possessed.  At the same time, 31 of the participants were examined through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while playing a virtual game of catch.  They were told that they were tossing a ball back and forth with 2 other players who were also hooked up on fMRI machines; however the other players were computer generated.  Eventually the computer players stopped tossing the ball to the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What we found is that individuals with the rare form of the OPRM1 gene, who were shown in previous work to be more sensitive to physical pain, also reported higher levels of rejection sensitivity and showed greater activity in social pain–related regions of the brain — the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula — in response to being excluded," said Naomi Eisenberger, co-author and UCLA assistant professor of psychology and director of UCLA's Social and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Baldwin Way, a UCLA postdoctoral scholar and the lead author, states that the findings of this study suggest that feelings of social rejection may occur in the same neural connections that are alleviated by pain killers such as morphine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could such findings help to explain the complexities of addiction and lead to the development of more promising treatment options?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090817142859.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Genetic Link Between Physical Pain And Social Rejection Found&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2493757115846158065?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/y0_xdd8GQgY" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/y0_xdd8GQgY/sensitivity-to-physical-pain-linked-to.html' target='_blank'&gt;

Eventually the computer players stopped tossing the ball to the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What we found is that individuals with the rare form of the OPRM1 gene, who were shown in previous work to be more sensitive to physical pain, also reported higher levels of rejection sensitivity and showed greater activity in social pain–related regions of the brain — the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula — in response to being excluded," said Naomi Eisenberger, co-author and UCLA assistant professor of psychology and director of UCLA's Social and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Baldwin Way, a UCLA postdoctoral scholar and the lead author, states that the findings of this study suggest that feelings of social rejection may occur in the same neural connections that are alleviated by pain killers such as morphine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could such findings help to explain the complexities of addiction and lead to the development of more promising treatment options?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090817142859.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Genetic Link Between Physical Pain And Social Rejection Found&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2493757115846158065?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/y0_xdd8GQgY" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/y0_xdd8GQgY/sensitivity-to-physical-pain-linked-to.html' target='_blank'&gt;

I had just broken up with my boyfriend of three years, and the pain of the separation made it hard to even get out of bed every morning. That is, until a friend forced me into getting up and jogging with her one morning. I was not at all enthusiastic at first, and went along just to avoid hurting her feelings. But, boy oh boy, a few laps around the park, and I could feel my energy levels soaring and felt as if I had wings and could fly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exercise does that to you; it has been proven to get you out of a blue funk, no matter how bad it is. And if you’re wondering why, read on to learn about the connection between physical and mental health:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your endorphin level goes up&lt;/strong&gt;: When you exercise, both during and after your workout, you feel good because you boost the production of endorphins in your body. Endorphins provide effects similar to that of pleasure-enhancing drugs and act as natural painkillers, and this means that you get a natural and completely healthy high after you’re done exercising.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You begin to lose weight and look better&lt;/strong&gt;: And because we human beings are vain creatures who are obsessed with the way we look, weighing a few pounds less makes us feel good about ourselves. We can fit into clothes that are a size smaller, we can bask in the attention of all the compliments that come our way, and we can take pride in flaunting our new and improved look. This makes us feel immensely better and lifts our mood to new levels of happiness.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You become healthier&lt;/strong&gt;: If you suffer from diseases like hypertension and diabetes, exercise can help keep them in check and make you a healthier person. When you’re physically healthy, your mental health also improves significantly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your energy levels are boosted&lt;/strong&gt;: You feel naturally energetic after regular sessions of exercise, and when you don’t feel tired during the day, you don’t tend to nap. You also get more work done and this makes you feel good about yourself. And at the end of the day, the natural tiredness makes you fall asleep immediately and enjoy a good night’s rest, all of which are important for you to be in a good mood when you wake up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re looking for a way to beat the blues put on your workout clothes and hit the gym – it’s the best way to get more than one benefit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By-line:&lt;br /&gt;This article is written by Kat Sanders, who regularly blogs on the topic of pharmacist technician certification at her blog &lt;a href="http://www.pharmacy-technician-certification.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Pharm Tech Blog&lt;/a&gt;.

You also get more work done and this makes you feel good about yourself. And at the end of the day, the natural tiredness makes you fall asleep immediately and enjoy a good night’s rest, all of which are important for you to be in a good mood when you wake up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re looking for a way to beat the blues put on your workout clothes and hit the gym – it’s the best way to get more than one benefit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By-line:&lt;br /&gt;This article is written by Kat Sanders, who regularly blogs on the topic of pharmacist technician certification at her blog &lt;a href="http://www.pharmacy-technician-certification.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Pharm Tech Blog&lt;/a&gt;.

Furthermore, in Europe, 1 in 10 deaths are directly related to alcohol consumption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans drink on average 13 drinks per week, North Americans tend to drink about 11 drinks per week, and Canadians drink roughly 9 drinks on any given week.  The national average stands at about 7 drinks per week.  In the study, 1 drink is equivalent to the alcohol content of 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, or 1 shot of spirits, each of which contain 13.6 grams of pure ethanol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Globally, the effect of alcohol on burden of disease is about the same size as that of smoking in 2000, but it is relatively greatest in emerging economies."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement begs the question; why do we not see more anti-drinking ads?

This kind of research can have powerful effects on society through various avenues that may indirectly reduce such statistics.  For example, recent changes to Ontario’s drinking and driving laws ensure that a mere .05 blood alcohol level will get your licence suspended.  Research, such as this, could be put to good use to help treat and prevent social and economic crises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, these statistics would be much more powerful if mental illness and concurrent substance abuse disorder had been examined separately in relation to alcohol consumption on burden of disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090626102332.htm"target="_blank"&gt;One In 25 Deaths Worldwide Attributable To Alcohol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-2993304800690042304?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/AIDLSAUDk-I" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/AIDLSAUDk-I/alcohol-kills-1-in-25-worldwide.html' target='_blank'&gt;

&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z_epY5GOwmgc7-xjlg4_KxISy8A/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z_epY5GOwmgc7-xjlg4_KxISy8A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;With all of the check-ups, pills, exercise and dieting that we do in the name of protecting our health, it might seem confusing that something as easy and enjoyable as hanging out with friends and family is also good for us. But researchers believe that for teens, adults and senior citizens, regular social interaction is crucial for preserving mental health. Here's why:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Reduces stress&lt;/strong&gt;: It sounds simple, but getting face time with friends and family reduces stress, which is good for your mental and emotional well-being. Whether you're ranting about work, getting perspective on a personal problem you have, or just tuning out all of the things that make you stressed or worried on a regular basis, time spent with friends and peers helps relieve tension and boosts your mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;It helps you feel connected&lt;/strong&gt;: If you're out at parties, restaurants, clubs and other social events, you're more likely to feel connected and like you're contributing to the greater community. This sense of self is important when evaluating risk factors for depression and even adopting a healthier lifestyle overall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;It strengthens your immune system&lt;/strong&gt;: People who have a strong base of meaningful relationships are generally more happy, and that means a more sufficient immune system. Sad and lonely people, conversely, generally show signs of a weaker immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Longer life&lt;/strong&gt;: Those who have both a broad social circle and frequently spend time with lots of different kinds of people as well as a close confidant or spouse are likely to live longer than those who have no one to care for them or even interest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Socializing regulates your vitals&lt;/strong&gt;: Studies have shown that seniors who socialize regularly have lower cholesterol and more stable blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evidence should help you feel better about managing stress and taking time to enjoy life, especially as you age. Isolation doesn't just equal boredom: it can also mean lower self esteem, which translates into higher stress, loneliness, depression, poor physical health and cognitive decline. Make a point to join clubs, attend church or spiritual events, exercise with a group, or just meet a friend for coffee a couple of times a week. You'll thank yourself for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post was contributed by Meredith Walker, who writes about the &lt;a href="http://www.healthcareadministrationdegree.com/"target="_blank"&gt;masters of healthcare degrees&lt;/a&gt;.

Sad and lonely people, conversely, generally show signs of a weaker immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Longer life&lt;/strong&gt;: Those who have both a broad social circle and frequently spend time with lots of different kinds of people as well as a close confidant or spouse are likely to live longer than those who have no one to care for them or even interest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Socializing regulates your vitals&lt;/strong&gt;: Studies have shown that seniors who socialize regularly have lower cholesterol and more stable blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evidence should help you feel better about managing stress and taking time to enjoy life, especially as you age. Isolation doesn't just equal boredom: it can also mean lower self esteem, which translates into higher stress, loneliness, depression, poor physical health and cognitive decline. Make a point to join clubs, attend church or spiritual events, exercise with a group, or just meet a friend for coffee a couple of times a week. You'll thank yourself for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post was contributed by Meredith Walker, who writes about the &lt;a href="http://www.healthcareadministrationdegree.com/"target="_blank"&gt;masters of healthcare degrees&lt;/a&gt;.

Clearly, convincing Canadians of this presumption will not be an easy feat as addiction is hardly comparable to conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mr. Reynolds, a member of the InnerChange Foundation in Vancouver, applauded the research arm of Health Canada for financing the Study to Assess Longer-term Opioid Medication Effectiveness (SALOME), which will offer heroin and a legal substitute, Hydromorphone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And…“In a secondary phase, some of the 200 addicts who will be recruited to the program will be offered heroin in a pill form - another way of reducing the stigma and health risks associated with injecting drugs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We really hope with SALOME that, if we can show (Hydromorphone) is as effective, there will be so many fewer obstacles to treatment - because it is not called heroin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely society can perceive the benefits for the addict and the community as a whole; however the pill is not the answer.  The addict no longer has to commit crimes and suffer various traumas associated with obtaining drugs.  The addict can be slowly weaned off drugs in a more controlled manner with the assistance of health professionals in order to ease themselves into proper treatment.  The addict would have much needed support during the path to recovery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one can deny these benefits; however is the main objective here not to make drug use safer and reduce crime?  Many people, including addicts, will view this method as replacing one drug with another, therefore maintaining psychological dependence.  In addition, side effects and withdrawal symptoms are not all that unlike those of heroin, morphine or other opiods.  Although studies have shown that Hydromorphone can be more successful than methadone, the latter has also not proven to be the much needed solution for many addicts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say that I’m not sold on the idea that addiction is merely a physical condition needing medication, Mr. Reynolds.  Recovery requires treatment of both physical and psychological aspects, especially when addiction is so often combined with other mental health conditions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/prescribe-heroin-to-addicts-former-tory-mp-says/article1164299/"target="_blank"&gt;Prescribe heroin to addicts, former Tory MP says&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-150022195536812454?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/LFXzNa8GVck" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/LFXzNa8GVck/fighting-addiction-with-prescription.html' target='_blank'&gt;

This new device is said to improve the quality of sleep for older adults.  Many elderly suffer from serious sleep disturbances often times as a result of changes to their circadian rhythm.  In brief, the circadian rhythm refers to the body’s 24 hour sleep/wake cycle, which relates to one’s exposure to light and shifts in hormone levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many recent studies over the past few years have demonstrated the effectiveness of blue light in stimulating the circadian system.  All types of light travel through the retina to the circadian clock in the brain.  Unfortunately, several changes to the eyes and brain as well as lifestyle adjustments come with age, which can seriously impact the amount of light stimulus reaching the retina, therefore affecting the circadian clock.  In addition, our lenses thicken and our pupils shrink with age, hence further reducing the amount of light that can pass through the retina.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, the elderly may suffer from mental health conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, that require even more light to keep the circadian rhythm in tact because of weaker neural connections in the brain.  Less time spent outdoors also reduces the amount of daylight taken in preventing a good night’s sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The device was worn by eleven subjects between the ages of 51 and 80 years of age. Each subject was exposed to two levels of blue light (about 50 lux and 10 lux) from the personal light-treatment device for 90 minutes on two separate nights.  Blood and saliva samples were collected at prescribed times to assess levels of nocturnal melatonin, a hormone used as a marker for the circadian clock, with high levels at night when a person is in a dark environment and low levels during the day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The light-induced nocturnal melatonin was suppressed by about 35% with low levels of light exposure and about 60 percent with high levels of light after only one hour of wearing the glasses.  Nocturnal melatonin appeared to be more rapidly suppressed and sustained with higher levels of blue light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study provides hope that a practical, comfortable, and effective solution may soon be available for those suffering from circadian sleep disorders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090529112605.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Light-treatment Device To Improve Sleep Quality In The Elderly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-974476124505703858?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/7PAf1aVnNwY" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/7PAf1aVnNwY/new-blue-light-goggles-help-elderly-get.html' target='_blank'&gt;

Nocturnal melatonin appeared to be more rapidly suppressed and sustained with higher levels of blue light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study provides hope that a practical, comfortable, and effective solution may soon be available for those suffering from circadian sleep disorders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090529112605.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Light-treatment Device To Improve Sleep Quality In The Elderly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© &lt;a href="http://www.mentalhealthblog.com"&gt;www.mentalhealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5820271594370707903-974476124505703858?l=www.mentalhealthblog.com" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~4/7PAf1aVnNwY" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mentalhealthblog/hWNm/~3/7PAf1aVnNwY/new-blue-light-goggles-help-elderly-get.html' target='_blank'&gt;
