In the ebb and flow of life, emotions often take us on unexpected journeys. Lately, I’ve noticed my feelings shifting once again, guiding me into a more hypervigilant state. The intensity of this energy brings with it a touch of anxiety, prompting me to seek ways to channel it in a productive manner. As I strive to maintain equilibrium, I’m delving into strategies that keep me grounded and proactive.
Memory problems are common in bipolar disorder, as is cognitive impairment. It makes sense, really. If our brains misfire when it comes to mood and its related symptoms, why wouldn't they misfire in other ways as well? People don't like to talk about this, though. People enjoy the narrative that those with bipolar disorder are more intelligent than others ( which is not true ), whereas the reality, which is that people with bipolar are additionally impaired, is something people like to glass ove
By Leigh Zywek and Richard Devine, Bath and North East Somerset Council In our work, we have found that many of the challenges parents faced in safely caring for their children stemmed from coping strategies the parents had developed to handle extremely difficult and traumatic childhoods.

When it comes to my mental health, one thing I can always count on is that it won’t be too long before I learn something new. Sometimes it’s a mental health or psychological term.

New data from Pennsylvania confirm: When America’s child welfare establishment fearmongers predicted that COVID would bring on a “pandemic of child abuse” it was just the usual health terrorism.

Introduction: How quickly do you recover when a car cuts you off while driving? How long does it take you to let go of the feelings you have after a contentious encounter?

The other morning, I went for a run. I’m training for a half-marathon (my first one ever – please send some positive vibes my way!), so some of my runs are getting progressively longer. This run, in particular, was pretty grueling. It was longer than I had gone in a long time, and included some steep hills that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Wow. Things sure got tough for Silvia Zarate after she was falsely accused of child abuse.

From the nine-year-old whose primary care provider told him (in his recollection) that he was going to get diabetes and die to the 17-year-old who walked away thinking that being in the 99 th percentile for BMI was fine, it is clear that obesity is a tough topic for all involved.
Lecturer Susan Radzilowski, MSW ’82, spoke with Michigan Radio about the importance of psychological support for trangender kids, young adults and their families. “Not only is cost a barrier to care, but it's sometimes just accessing therapists who understand the principles of gender-affirming care, which is to elevate the child's voice, to hear the child's voice, to offer exploration in a supportive environment, to listen and to understand what's helpful versus what's harmful,” she said.

● In a testament to the awful breadth of laws that allow people to report child abuse anonymously, in New Jersey someone accused of filing a false anonymous report to harass his ex-girlfriend actually claimed as a defense that, even if he made the call (which he denies), there is no such thing as a harassing call to the family police in New Jersey – because that state’s law gives immunity from liability to anyone who makes such a call.
