Tourette syndrome

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 03:00:00 +0000

Have you seen people doing weird actions repeatedly? These people might suffering from a mental illness called Tourette syndrome. We can't deny the fact that we also have our own mannerisms but we can control it if we want to. Tourette syndrom is different from a normal mannerism, it is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder that causes a person to make repeated and uncontrolled rapid movements and sounds called tics.

Tourette syndrome (simply called Tourette's or TS) is named after a French Physician and neurologist, Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first describe this disorder in 1885.

Tourette syndrome is passed down through families, although the exact causes is still unknown. A person with Tourette's has about a 50% chance of passing the genes to of his/her children, a condition of variable expression and incomplete penetrace. Between 1 and 10 children per 1,000 have TS; as many as 10 per 1,000 people may have tic disorders, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing and facial movements.

Tourette's doesn't affect intelligence and life expectancy. Some people with TS are able to hold back their tics, but this only leads to a stronger outburst of tics once they are finally allowed to be expressed.

Symtoms:

Early symptoms of Tourette syndrom can be seen during childhood, between ages 7 and 10.

The most common symptoms of TS are usually facial tics - commonly eye blinking. However, facial tics also include nose twitching or grimaces. With time, other motor tics may develop such as head jerking, neck stretching, foot stamping, or body twisting and bending.

Some people with TS may utter strange and unusual sounds, words or phrases then continuously clear his/her throat, cough, sniff, grunt, yelp, bark or shout.

Tics may occur many times a day, but they tend to improve or get worse at different times. The tics may change with time.

This is Jaylan Arnold, he has Tourette Syndrome.

Treatment:

There are no specific medical or screening tests that can be applied in treating TS. In addition, all medications might just bring side effects which may worsen his/her current condition. Instead, there are available medications that may able to help reduce specific symptoms.

Deep brain stimulation(DBS) has given encouraging results both for the main symptoms of Tourette syndrome and for the associated obsessive-compulsive mannerisms.

Fact: Tourette syndrome is four times as likely to occur in boys as in girls.

Benzodiazepines - anti-anxiety drugs that act very quickly. Taking them during a panic attack provides rapid relief of symptoms. This are highly addictive and have serious withdrawal symptoms, so they should be used with caution.(more info)

Paula’s story

Paula had her first panic attack 6 months ago. She was in her office preparing for an important work presentation when, suddenly, she felt an intense wave of fear. Then the room started spinning and she felt like she was going to throw up. Her whole body was shaking, she couldn’t catch her breath, and her heart was pounding out of her chest. She gripped her desk until the episode passed, but it left her deeply shaken.

Paula had her next panic attack three weeks later, and since then, they’ve been occurring with increasing frequency. She never knows when or where she’ll suffer an attack, but she’s afraid of having one in public. Consequently, she’s been staying home after work, rather than going out with friends. She also refuses to ride the elevator up to her 12th floor office out of fear of being trapped if she has another panic attack. (see it here)

I love Gambling - Problem Gambling

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 02:39:00 +0000

Love to gamble? You may have ludomania, also known as problem gambling or compulsive gambling (among professional). Ludomania is a severe addiction of continuously and non-stop compulsive gambling. This condition greatly affect one's life though their purpose was just for fun. They really don't matter if they're winning or losing. And when money their money is gone, they will do anything in order to have money and play again. That's why its somehow related to kleptomania, pyromania, trichotillomnia. Not all gamblers are compulsive gambler, some people only gamble just for entertainment and enjoyment.

These are the symptoms of compulsive gambling. If you have 5 symptoms out of 10 following symptoms, then you must be aware. (www.wikipedia.org)

Preoccupation. The subject has frequent thoughts about gambling experiences, whether past, future, or fantasy.
Tolerance. As with drug tolerance, the subject requires larger or more frequent wagers to experience the same "rush".
Withdrawal. Restlessness or irritability associated with attempts to cease or reduce gambling.
Escape. The subject gambles to improve mood or escape problems.
Chasing. The subject tries to win back gambling losses with more gambling.
Lying. The subject tries to hide the extent of his or her gambling by lying to family, friends, or therapists.
Loss of control. The person has unsuccessfully attempted to reduce gambling.
Illegal acts. The person has broken the law in order to obtain gambling money or recover gambling losses. This may include acts of theft, embezzlement, fraud, or forgery.
Risked significant relationship. The person gambles despite risking or losing a relationship, job, or other significant opportunity.

TREATMENT: (www.wikipedia.org)

Most treatment for this condition involves counselling, step-based programs, self-help, peer-support, or medication. There's no treatment and medications is considered to be most effective for curing the gamble problem.

Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a commonly used treatment for gambling problems. Modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous, GA uses a 12-step model that emphasizes a mutual-support approach.

One form of counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to reduce symptoms and gambling-related urges. This type of therapy focuses on the identification of gambling-related thought processes, mood and cognitive distortions that increase one’s vulnerability to out-of-control gambling. Additionally, CBT approaches frequently utilize skill-building techniques geared toward relapse prevention, assertiveness and gambling refusal, problem solving and reinforcement of gambling-inconsistent activities and interests.

There is evidence that the SSRI paroxetine is efficient in the treatment of pathological gambling. Additionally, for patients suffering from both pathological gambling and a comorbid bipolar spectrum condition, sustained release lithium has shown efficacy in a preliminary trial.The opiate antagonist drug nalmefene has also been trialled quite successfully for the treatment of compulsive gambling.

Do you hate Math? - Math Disability

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 07:59:00 +0000

By the way, who likes math? Everyone is having a hard time in dealing with our math subjects, well, except for the dork one. Being in the world of numbers and signs is like insanity but learning math is somewhat enjoying.

But did you know there's an illness which deals with mathematics only? It's called Dyscalculia or the math disability. This is having a severe difficulties in understanding and learning of comprehensive mathematics. Dyscalculia is similar and related to dyslexia. But people with dyscalculia suffer great difficulty with the most basic aspects of arithmetic such as addition and subtraction. They may not also understand complex problems such as multiplication, division, and more abstract problems. Causes of this illness is not yet discovered, somehow, some scientist conclude that it is a generic disorder or the person was suffering from a short term memory.

Potential Symptoms: (www.wikipedia.org)

Frequent difficulties with arithmetic, confusing the signs: +, −, ÷ and ×.
Difficulty with everyday tasks like checking change and reading analog clocks.
Inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes even at a basic level; for example, estimating the cost of the items in a shopping basket or balancing a checkbook.
Difficulty with multiplication-tables, and subtraction-tables, addition tables, division tables, mental arithmetic, etc.
May do fairly well in subjects such as science and geometry, which require logic rather than formulae, until a higher level requiring calculations is obtained.
Many of those who suffer from dyscalculia may have parents who perform well to excellent in Mathematics-related fields (such as architects, engineers, or math teachers), though this connection has yet to be genetically linked.
Difficulty with conceptualizing time and judging the passing of time. May be chronically late or early.
Particularly problems with differentiating between left and right.
Might do exceptionally well in a writing related field- many authors and journalists have this disorder
Difficulty navigating or mentally "turning" the map to face the current direction rather than the common North=Top usage.
Having particular difficulty mentally estimating the measurement of an object or distance (e.g., whether something is 10 or 20 feet (3 or 6 metres) away).
Often unable to grasp and remember mathematical concepts, rules, formulae, and sequences.
An inability to read a sequence of numbers, or transposing them when repeated, such as turning 56 into 65.
Difficulty keeping score during games.
Difficulty with games such as poker with more flexible rules for scoring.
Difficulty in activities requiring sequential processing, from the physical (such as dance steps or sports) to the abstract (signaling things in the right order). May have trouble even with a calculator due to difficulties in the process of feeding in variables.
The condition may lead in extreme cases to a phobia or durable anxiety of mathematics and mathematic-numeric devices/coherences.
Low latent inhibition, i.e., over-sensitivity to noise, smell, light and the inability to tune out, filtering unwanted information or impressions. Might have a well-developed sense of imagination due to this (possibly as cognitive compensation to mathematical-numeric deficits).

There is no specific treatment for dyscalculia but with proper counsel and support, they can learn math and used it in their daily lives.Try playing math games in order them to review concepts.

I want to Learn - Learning Disability

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:30:00 +0000

Are you having a hard time learning your subjects though you're studying so hard? Maybe you should go now to a psychologist, you might have a learning disability.

Learning disability is a more general term that describe a specific kind of learning problems. This can cause a person to have troubles in learning and using a certain skills such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and doing math. Learning disability can be Primary (inherited) and Secondary (caused by a physical factor that interferes with learning).

"Researchers think that learning disabilities are caused by differences in how a person's brain works and how it processes information. Children with learning disabilities are not "dumb" or "lazy." In fact, they usually have average or above average intelligence. Their brains just process information differently." www.medicinenet.com/

What are the common symptoms of learning disability? (www.idonline.org)

Preschool

Speaks later than most children
Pronunciation problems

This disability is cannot be cured or fixed. Through proper medication and support, however, people with learning disability can and do learn to adapt their learning differences to learn strategies that will hep them achieve their goals and dreams.

Trivia: Did you know that Susan Boyle, a Britain's Got Talent finalist, has a learning disability. She never let her condition to ruin her dream to be a musical theater singer.

I didn't Steal anything - Kleptomania

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:37:00 +0000

During my elementary days, I remember a boy who just stole one tiny paper clip on the bookstore. I thought that he's a bad boy until the word "Kleptomania" came, and then I was confused. Kleptomania is a mental illness where a person could not abstain their cravings on stealing anything. You might get confuse if all thief have this disorder. Well, a thief is a person who steal things that has significant value or generally they steal things for monetary value. While a kleptomaniac steal things without significant value such as paper clips, pens, pins. Some of the kleptomaniacs may not even have an idea that they committed stealing.

In order to be diagnosed, here's some criteria you must know (www.psychiatric-disorders.com):

The actions are not better explained by antisocial personality disorder, a conduct disorder or a manic episode.
The acts are not the result of any rational or emotional trigger: patients are not stealing because they are angry or want revenge.
The person repeatedly steals things for no identifiable reason.

Kleptomania is somehow related to addictive and mood disorder. It is usually thought as a part of what they called Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in which uncontrollable actions are the same with the kleptomania.

There is no cure for this disorder. Once the disorder is verified then a therapy is highly recommended. Counseling and sometimes drug therapy usually included in the treatment. And it has been found that Prozac and Naltrexone is effective and also helpful because it alters levels of serotonin.

Trivia: Kleptomania mostly affects women than men.

Born in the wrong Body - Gender Identity Disorder

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:28:00 +0000

Got stuck in the wrong body? Most of the people now can't determine their exact gender. Gays and lesbians are the people who have gender issues. Those people is suffering from a mental illness called Gender Identity Disorder. It is a condition where a person identifies itself as an opposite sex. This illness causes the person to experience great discomfort regarding his/her own sex orientation. This is a serious condition which must be alarmed to avoid discrimination.

Here's the symptoms of Gender Identity Disorder I got from www.nlm.nih.gov:

Children:

Are disgusted by their own genitals
Are rejected by their peers, feel alone
Believe that they will grow up to become the opposite sex
Have depression or anxiety
Say that they want to be the opposite sex

Adults:

Dress like the opposite sex
Feel alone
Have depression or anxiety
Want to live as a person of the opposite sex
Wish to be rid of their own genitals

Either adults or children:

Cross-dress, show habits typical of the opposite sex
Withdraw from social interaction

The disorder affects an individual's self-image and lifestyle, this can impact the person's mannerisms and behavior who are committed to altering their physical appearance. This can be diagnosed by a trained mental health professional through medical history and psychological exams.

There is no human rights treaty related on sexuality and gender rights. It is clear that people having gender issues have the right to enjoy all human rights available to other members of the community.

"Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever. "

I hear voices! - Auditory Hallucinations

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:26:00 +0000

So hard to explain when you're hearing voices though no one is there. So weird and oh-so scary. But don't panic, it's not a ghost. Hearing some voices is a form of hallucination called Auditory Hallucination (also known as paracusia). Just like other kind of hallucination, the possible causes of this is having a physical illness and side-effects of medication. This may be associated with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia or using of high doses of drugs like cocaine, amphetamine and other stimulants. .

You can tell if the person may be having this hallucinations is when they talk to themselves and then they pause, as though waiting for someone else to finish what they are saying before continuing. But not everyone who talks to themselves is having hallucination. A person who have a auditory hallucination may hear primitive voices such claps, screams, whistles and others to music or speech. Sometimes that person may recognize the voice as one of a family member or deceased relative and sometimes strange voices or even God. The voices can be originate from everywhere like trees, ground, walls and anything that may gave sound or voices.

Trivia: Did you know that Joan of Arc claimed to hear voices from Saints. And she believed that the voices she heard were sent directly from God.

Who's me? - Multiple Personality Disorder

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:39:00 +0000

At first, I never thought that there's a condition in which two or more distinct personalities or identities alternately take control in the same person. That's really weird. And each personality is unaware or unconcerned of any others.

You might have this condition, you should be aware. Here's some signs and symptoms I got from wikipedia:

Multiple mannerisms, attitudes and beliefs that are not similar to each other
Unexplainable headaches and other body pains
Distortion or loss of subjective time
Comorbidity
Depersonalization
Derealization
Severe memory loss
Depresion
Flashbacks of abuse/trauma
Unexplainable phobias
Sudden anger without a justified cause
Lack of intimacy and personal connections
Frequent panic/anxiety attacks
Auditory hallucinations of the personalities inside their mind
Patients may experience an extremely broad array of other symptoms that resemble epilepsy, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, and eating disorders.

If you have some of its symptoms, then you must go now to your psychiatrist.

Did you know that the NFL legend and Heisman Trophy winner, Herschel Walker, has this disorder. Herschel spent 12 years in the NFL, where he ran for more than 8000 yards and scored 61 rushing touchdowns. But despite the acclaim he won as a football legend, track and field star, Olympic competitor, and a successful businessman, Herschel realized that his life was simply out of his control. He often felt angry, self-destructive, and unable to connect meaningfully with friends and family, he doesn't have a control to his emotions. Herschel turned to professionals to call for help and was diagnosed that he has dissociative identity disorder or formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

Want to be super?

noreply@blogger.com (jessica taleon) — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 09:20:00 +0000

Ever since, I really want to be a Superhero. Yeah, I'm a superhero wanna be. But what's wrong with that? Have you ever thought having laser eyes, super strength, invisibility, or telekinesis? Yeah, super cool. This Superheroes we've seen in our televisions, movies, and comics were not true. They're all just the result of human imagination. We can even make our own superhero and think that its us. Lets have a flashback. What's the history of superhero?

"The mythologies of many ancient civilizations feature pantheons of godsand goddesses with superhuman powers, as well as demigods like Heraclesand heroes such as Gilgamesh and Perseus. Later, folkloric heroes such as Robin Hood and the 19th century protagonists of Victorian literature,such as the masked adventurer The Scarlet Pimpernel, featured what be came such superhero conventions as secret identities. Penny dreadfuls, dime novels, radio programs and other popular fiction of the late 19th and early 20th centuries featured mysterious, swashbuckling heroes with distinct costumes, secret identities, unusual abilities and altruistic missions. These include Zorro, the Green Hornet, the Scarecrow of Romney Mash and Spring Heeled Jack, the last of whom first emerged as an urban legend. Likewise, the science-fiction hero John Carters of Mars, with his futuristic weapons and gadgets; Tarzan, with his high degree of athleticism and strength, and his ability to communicate with animals; and the biologically modified Hugo Danner of the novel Gladiator were heroes with unusual abilities who fought sometimes larger-than-life foes."wikipidia.org

Back to reality, were also a hero. Believe me. When our friends needs our help, we are there for him /her. When our lil brother and sister cried, we're there to comfort them. Super powers aren't a requirement to be a hero. As long as we help others, we can consider our self a hero, a real hero. Everyone can be a hero.

Though superheroes aren't real, don't push kids to believe it.

They'll be hurt so badly, trust me.

By the way, dreaming that you're a hero is not bad as long as you're sleeping.

Superb Mind for Superb People

Albert Einstein is one of the smartest human ever created in this world. Have you ever think why Einstein got a very smart brain? What really run to his mind whenever he experiment on something?

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879–18 April 1955) was a German-born Swiss-American theoretical physicist, philosopher and author who is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time. He is often regarded as the father of modern physics.

He is known for his popular contributions on physics. He published more than 300 scientific and over 150 non-scientific works and additionally wrote and commentated prolifically on numerous philosophical and political issues. In his student life, he achieved lot of complements from his school because of his great works. In his college years,which has been called "Einstein'sannus mirabilis" or "miracle year", he published four groundbreaking papers, on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and the equivalence of matter and energy, which were to bring him to the notice of the academic world. Even though he was super smart, he had time for his love life. He was married and had children.

Albert Einstein suffered from internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and had been reinforced surgically. After his incomplete speech at Israel, he must undergo an operation but he refused it. This what he said when he refuse the operation, "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.". Einstein died at the age of 76 in Princeton Hospital. He is truly a great guy. Until now, he is still remembered and treasured.

Super Juniors, 4-minute, 2ne1, Girls Generatioin, SS501, T-Max are just one of the popular group at South Korea. Sad to say that they already INVADED us. Okay, I admit that I love watching koreanovelas. Addicted, to say the least. It may be an odd choice for a guilty pleasure but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, almost everyone has the same problem as you do. We are all victims of this phenomenon. The best thing we could do is to come clean. .

Koreanovelas have become a part of Filipinos' lives. We have grown to love them the same way we love our own local TV series. Both are equally entertaining as they make Filipinos dream about love and life. The only difference is that koreanovelas give us a glimpse of their fascinating culture. As long as they're here to stay, Filipinos will keep on supporting these series.
Koreans seem to be almost everywhere. They can be seen in schools, malls, movie houses, golf courses, trains, beaches, restaurants, markets and even in jeepneys — popular conveyances made from U.S. military jeeps. Filipinos are used to tourists staying in the country for a few weeks, but many South Koreans have been in the country for more than a year already. It is not surprising that a lot of Filipinos tend to suspect that there is a looming South Korean invasion.

With the continued craving for anything
Korean, Filipinos will continue to hear and see more Kpop artists in the coming years.
