Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pat and Sarah had long been friends, not just brother and sister. They supported each other, shared music and movies, and confided in each other as they went through the many challenging stages of adolescence. But something began to change in Pat. He was convinced people were watching him, spying on him. Once outgoing and sociable, he began to withdraw into a world of his own, on the inside, where social engagement was not necessary nor desired. He stopped taking care of his personal hygiene. Conversation became increasingly difficult. After a series of visits with psychologists, he was diagnosed at first with bi-polar disorder, and then, more accurately with schizophrenia with paranoid delusions. His world, and that of his sister’s, changed forever. This is the story of one sister’s fight to convince her family that her brother needed help, that initial efforts to curtail his symptoms were inadequate, that he needed additional intervention. At the same time, it is the story of her own struggles with anxiety and depression, and coping with the changes in her life as her brother suffered at home. And finally, it is the story of one family’s acceptance of a difficult diagnosis and their embracing of the child and brother they have always known and loved. Schizophrenia, indeed mental illness in general, is often misunderstood and therefore feared by society at large. Here, the author helps to dislodge some long-held assumptions about mental illness and encourages readers to ask questions, to offer help and support, and to advocate for assistance for anyone suffering mental illness before it’s too late. She offers a voice to all the sisters and brothers of the mentally ill, so that they may find comfort in her words and hope for their siblings.

Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.' Sunday Times There are many different breeds of Black Dog affecting millions of people from all walks of life. The Black Dog is an equal opportunity mongrel.

This area of research is not limited to very young and old patientsâ€"sleep disorders reach across all ages and ethnicities.

Increasing investment in interdisciplinary somnology and sleep medicine research training and mentoring activities. Validating and developing new and existing technologies for diagnosis and treatment.

Book Synopsis Poetic Inquiry II – Seeing, Caring, Understanding by : Kathleen T. Galvin
Download or read book Poetic Inquiry II – Seeing, Caring, Understanding written by Kathleen T. Galvin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a novel collection of international works on the use of poetry in inquiry that transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries. The aim is to illustrate an ‘aesthetic move’ in social sciences and in particular in health and in education. The collection builds a bridge between the Arts and Health and Education by offering innovative exemplars of use of poetry in social science research and in the context of the many varied disciplinary contexts. An exploration of poetry within an international interdisciplinary collection in the context of education, research inquiry and health and social care with university-affiliated authors is offered. Writers include literary poets, academics and researchers in the arts, the humanities, and human and social sciences: an unusual interdisciplinary community. Authors contribute work illustrating how they are finding varied approaches to make use of the resonant power of words through poetry in their investigations. Writers’ aims span new ways to help readers resonate and connect with findings; new ways of revealing deep understandings of human experience; new ways of being in dialogue with research findings and new ways of working with people in vulnerable situations to name ‘what it is like’. As such, the collection offers examples of the foremost ways seen in the literature for poetry to appear in education, health and caring sciences, anthropology, sociology, psychology, social work and related fields. Most qualitative research texts focus on one discipline; this text will be relevant for many postsecondary programs and courses including in education, health sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences.
Book Synopsis Each Woman’s Menopause: An Evidence Based Resource by : Patricia Geraghty
Download or read book Each Woman’s Menopause: An Evidence Based Resource written by Patricia Geraghty and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to meet the needs of nurse practitioners, other advanced practice nurses, and allied health professionals working in women’s health, primary care, and other specialties. The multiple roles the clinician embraces in menopause management include that of direct caregiver, manager of therapeutics, educator, and interdisciplinary team member or leader. This book provides updated, evidence based information on the menopause transition from the late reproductive stage to post-menopause to optimize the interaction of the clinician and the individual woman in each of those roles. Women’s lived experiences of menopause and women’s concerns regarding both the menopause transition and the choice of care options are included as critical components of shared therapy decisions. The review of natural menopause physiology and the variability of menopause symptoms are inclusive of diverse women and diverse trajectories. The impact of menopause on chronic disease, sleep, weight and nutrition, mood and cognition, urogenital health and sexuality, as well as vasomotor symptoms are each developed as individual topics by experts in those fields. Evidence based management using hormonal and non-hormonal options, and life-style and other complementary interventions are discussed with the most updated advantages and disadvantages of each treatment option. Consistent with advanced practice nursing theory, the approach is whole patient focused.

Book excerpt: "For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Juliet the Maniac is a worthy new entry in that pantheon of deconstruction... Dazzling."—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW This portrait of a young teenager's fight toward understanding and recovering from mental illness is shockingly honest, funny, and heartfelt. Ambitious, talented fourteen-year-old honors student Juliet is poised for success at her Southern California high school. However, she soon finds herself in an increasingly frightening spiral of drug use, self-harm, and mental illness that lands her in a remote therapeutic boarding school, where she must ultimately find the inner strength to survive. A highly anticipated debut—from a writer hailed as "a combination of Denis Johnson and Joan Didion" (Dazed)—that brilliantly captures the intimate triumph of a girl's struggle to become the woman she knows she can be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid, gripping and inspired portrayal of Mona, a splendid woman, diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer & given 3-6 months to live. And her loving Caregiver, who leaves his high-tech firm to stay at home with his frightened wife to help her find the doctors, clinical treatment and “threads of Hope” to empower and transform herself into a feisty Cancer warrior and believer in her own Survival. Until Mona’s mind betrays her with a “Logjam chemo brain” madness, and she is dropped by Sloan-Kettering, sent home like a soldier with PTSD to face a psychiatric ward and death. How her loving Caregiver’s close family team & “Orange Juice” manage to break Mona’s downward spiral! “A Universal Love Story. A Beautiful, Deeply-Human, Well-Written Book. Mona’s Story will Move You! It Reads like a Novel.” — Author/Editor Marcy Dermansky [The Red Car] “Karp and his wife, Mona, were surprised when a doctor diagnosed her with stage 4 lung cancer in 1993. The mother of two, in her mid- 50s, had never been a smoker.” “Her chemotherapy had physical side effects...But Mona was most affected cognitively. She called it a ‘logjam’—a mental fogginess that marred her short-term memory and concentration. This bright woman, a former English teacher who loved travel, was now prone to psychotic episodes.” “Karp’s book is both melancholic and engaging. His love and devotion to his wife are without question. He fondly details joyful moments, from the couple’s meet-cute decades earlier to bouts of happiness they reveled in post-diagnosis. The author’s generally unadorned prose in this touching memoir boasts instances of lyricism.” “An absorbing and moving account of a couple’s fight against a terrible disease.” — Kirkus Reviews “No one you Love is forever Dead if you truly Believe their Goodness and Beauty Cannot Perish...For precious moments, our Past was not dead; it was not even Past.” “Logjam of a Beauteous Mind”
Download or read book Unhinged written by Anna Berry and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all her best efforts to break the cycle of catastrophic, destructive patterns of mental illness, Anna Berry found herself at the end of her rope----unemployed, penniless, homeless, and in the throes of a psychotic episode that threatened to destroy her life. Alone and unwell, she manages to find her grip on life, seeks the help she needs, and embarks on a life and career that illustrate that mental illness does not have to be ruinous. Unhinged: A Memoir of Enduring, Surviving, and Overcoming Family Mental Illness is a powerful memoir that chronicles Berry’s life as both a casualty and survivor of family mental illness. From her point of rock-bottom to her own recovery, as well as her efforts to help her still-afflicted mother and brother find hope and healing, we see how she struggles to recognize her own illness while coping with the fallout from her family’s other victims. In telling her story, Berry uncovers the difficulties inherent in not only growing up with mental illness among family members, but also the frustrations of not being able to recognize or handle the trajectory of her own illness. Yet, after successfully finding methods of treating her symptoms, Berry goes on to become a successful journalist and author, who now helps educate the public about mental health through her writing, while also serving as her mother’s court-appointed legal guardian. This story shows the devastating impact of mental illness on whole families, but offers readers a message of hope and healing. Berry’s story is sure to resonate with the many people who deal with the mental illness of family members, and their own struggles to cope with their own diagnoses.

This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third Edition, Fully Updated and Expanded There is hope, there is relief, there is another way to treat Alzheimer’s disease! More than 6.5 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Mary T. Newport’s husband, Steve, was one of them. In Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was a Cure?, Dr. Newport shares Steve’s story—how he fell into the abyss that is Alzheimer’s disease and was able to climb back out to enjoy a nearly four-year reprieve from the disease, thanks to a dietary intervention with coconut oil and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil. Since Steve’s remarkable turnaround from early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2008, Dr. Newport has communicated with hundreds of people and their caregivers dealing with neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to detailing the most recent research on the links between Alzheimer’s and many common medications, Dr. Newport illustrates how infection, inflammation, and genetic makeup may affect an individual’s response to fatty-acid therapy. She also covers the recent advances in imaging technologies, which have made it possible to detect subtle changes in the brain a decade or more before a person develops obvious symptoms, giving at-risk individuals the opportunity to take preventive measures. While the cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not known, Dr. Newport’s research offers a message of hope and shows how adopting certain lifestyle changes could prevent, delay, or otherwise alter the course of the disease.
