Don't live with depression

Image
By Dr Bill Maier Depression can come from a lot of sources, and it can completely drain the joy out of life. Not all cases of depression are the same. Some people go into depressive moods that leave them utterly immobilised, while others just find themselves sad more often than they should be. Regardless of the degree, the effects can be profound, leading people to think and do things that they otherwise would never consider. Serious cases can even lead to thoughts of suicide . And almost all cases leave people with a sense of dejection and hopelessness. Not only can you no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel — you don’t believe the tunnel ever ends. But there’s no reason for anyone to live with depression. There are therapies and treatments available to help manage even the most debilitating cases. Trust me — there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and help is within your grasp. From TODAY, Voices - Wednesday, 02-June-2010 ----- Related articles by Z...

Don’t kid with your child’s behavior

Image
Image via Wikipedia By Dr Bill Maier A lot of defiant behaviour is caused by parents who simply don't know how to discipline. But there are times when parents do all the right things yet still can't seem to keep their kids in line. In these cases, it's usually one of two things at work — either the child is extremely strong-willed, or they're struggling with some type of undiagnosed disorder, like ADHD or Bipolar syndrome. The truth is, kids who suffer from ADHD or some other developmental disorder simply don't respond to normal parenting techniques. They're not bad kids, and they're usually just as frustrated as their parents. If you're concerned about your child's behaviour, have them tested by a licensed professional. If they're diagnosed with a disorder, there are extremely effective treatments available. It could make all the difference in the world — both to you and your child.
