Mental Health eBook : Understanding And Treating Bipolar Disorders – Understanding Bipolar To Get Help

According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, up to one third of American children and adolescents diagnosed with depression develop early onset bipolar disorder. The average age of onset of bipolar disorder is from adolescence through the early twenties. However, because of the complexity of the disorder, a correct diagnosis can be delayed for several years or more. In a survey of bipolar patients conducted by the National Depressive and Manic Depressive Association (MDMDA), one half of respondents reported visiting three or more professionals before receiving a correct diagnosis, and over one third reported waiting ten years or more before they were correctly diagnosed.

Helping Make the New School Year Safer for Kids! Concerned author offers his book on sleep disorders, ‘Shout! Sleep!,’ free until 9/15/05

Category : Teen Problems

NC (PRWEB) August 14, 2005

A North Carolina state study found that drivers age 25 and younger cause more than one-half of all sleep-related auto crashes. Robert E Peterson RPSGT, author of two e-books on sleep disorders, thinks parents and kids should know the simple and sometimes frightening facts about teenagers and sleep as the new school year begins.

Citing a recent article by the National Sleep Foundation, “Too Many Teens May Be Sleepy Behind Their Desks- And Behind The Wheel,” Mr. Peterson states that the teen’s biological clock is naturally set to go to bed and sleep later.

Mr. Peterson quotes Richard L. Gelula, executive director of the NSF, “A teen’s life and his/her ability to learn can be affected by the timing of that first morning school bell. Contrary to many beliefs, the early morning sleepiness teens experience isn’t because their lazy. They are sleep deprived, but it isn’t necessarily parties, video games and other activities keeping them awake at night. It’s their biological clocks.”

Mr. Peterson says that most teens need an average of 9.25 hours of sleep each night. But the sleep patterns of adolescents are affected by a phase delay, a natural tendency toward going to sleep and awakening later. A 1998 study showed that 40 percent of teens go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights, and one-fourth sleep less than 6.5 hours on school nights.

A troubling consequence of sleep deprivation at any age is drowsy driving. But for teens, their sleep deprivation and inexperience behind the wheel can make for a particularly lethal combination.

Not Just Teens:

Mr. Peterson went on to say that sleep disorders and poor sleep hygiene effect kids at early ages as well. The early wake up time for most children is a major concern to sleep disorder experts. Government and Health officials are trying to get school start times pushed later.

Peterson’s first e-book: “Professional Guide To Sleep Disorders Management” is an e-book written for the healthcare professional. Studies clearly show that most doctors do not inquire of their patient’s sleep. This book outlines the screening procedures to identify patients who are not getting proper sleep. Studies also show doctors are well aware of sleep problems and list sleep as a high priority. Most doctors also stated they would make sleep a higher priority if simple diagnostic screening and treatment tools were available. Peterson says “Professional Guide To Sleep Disorders Management” is the exact tool doctors have been wanting. The Guide is available at www.sleepebooks.com and www.amazon.com

Mr. Peterson feels his second e-book: “Shout! Sleep!” is a must read for both parents and teens. “It is up to the individual parent and teen to understand sleep disorders.”

“Shout! Sleep!” explains sleep problems and will help everyone have a healthier, safer and more productive year. “Shout! Sleep!” is also available online at www.sleepebooks.com and www.amazon.com

Category : Teen Problems

According to a survey eating disorders most often affect young women. Less than 10% of people with eating disorders are boys and men. Eating disorders affect a person’s physical and emotional health. They are very dangerous illnesses and can be fatal if they are not treated.


Eating disorder is a condition when teen refused to eat and gain in weight. Eating disorders are a harrowing addiction affecting teens physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. These disorders are characterized by a preoccupation with food and a distortion of body image. There are two common types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa.


People affected with anorexia have an intense of being fatty. A person with anorexia may weigh food before eating it or compulsively count the calories of everything. The key elements of anorexia nervosa are losing weight below a normal weight. While people affected with bulimia, eats a large amount of food then gets rid of it quickly by vomiting or taking laxatives. People feel guilty and anxious and then they want to get rid of food by vomiting or by exercising.

Causes


Eating disorders are often associated with feelings of helplessness, sadness, anxiety, and the need to be perfect. This can cause a person to use dieting or weight loss to provide a sense of control or stability. The one other main reason is magazines, movies, and the tobacco industry promotes unrealistic role models for beauty and weight. So teens started Dieting to reduce their weight. It is not effective but harmful.


Eating Disorder Treatment


There is no proper treatment for the eating disorder; family therapy is one of the keys to eating healthily again. The main problem is to recognize this. They may be secretive about their eating habits so that even their family and friends are not aware that they have a problem. Eating disorder will not disappear overnight like many people wish for. Parents and other family members are important in helping a person see that his or her normal body shape is perfectly fine and that being thin doesn’t make anyone happy.


It takes a joint effort between parents and their son or daughter to fight this eating disorder (overweight). The doctor may recommend that a person stay in the hospital for a few days if the medical condition is unstable or dangerous.
