Extractions: to improve diagnosis, treatment, quality of life for people affected by von Hippel-Lindau disease. by Dan Kavanaugh, M.S., social worker, National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Bethesda, Maryland, one of the U.S. National Institutes of Health Last summer my youngest daughter broke her leg in a playground accident when another child ran into her. We took her to the physician and the X-rays confirmed a break. The healing process began when the cast was placed on her leg. What if I had taken my daughter to the physician and instead of putting a cast on her leg he had just said "Thats understandable that she broke her leg." Suppose the physician had left it at that no further medical intervention, no cast, just the words "Thats understandable." Wouldnt that be a fairly shocking response? Yet when a person who is diagnosed with a chronic illness begins to express feelings of depression, they are often met with the words "Thats understandable" and are not offered the opportunity to have the depression treated. The risk of depression also increases with the possible complications of a chronic illness. A person may be successfully managing a chronic illness, but the illness may have so many possible complications (frequent hospitalizations, depletion of financial resources, decreased ability to maintain gainful employment) that even one who is in control of the disease may have a high rate of depression.

Extractions: ISSUE BRIEF School Health Nursing Services Role in Health Care PEER BULLYING INTRODUCTION Peer Bullying refers to dynamic and repetitive persistent patterns of verbal and/or non-verbal behaviors directed by one or more children on another child that are intended to deliberately inflict physical, verbal, or emotional abuse in the presence of a real or perceived power differential. All three components (e.g., patterns of behavior, intentional harm, and a power differential) must exist to constitute bullying (Olweus, 1997). Bullies behaviors exploit the personal weaknesses or differences of the recipients through ridicule, derision, and sometimes physical confrontation. Instigators bully for provocation, the enjoyment of others, and self-aggrandizement or to enhance their own prestige. BACKGROUND Passive victims are most common. These children tend to be more submissive, insecure, and initiate fewer prosocial behaviors. If threatened, they live in fear, restrict their activities, and do not readily defend themselves. Provocative victims , also called victim-bullies, are less common. They tend to be highly aggressive, have deficient or deviant interpretations of social situations, and frequently exhibit conduct problems. Many come from adverse family backgrounds or have neuro-developmental disorders (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities) associated with learning/information-processing deficits.

Extractions: RICHMOND, Va. Before treating depressed youths with antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, doctors should ask about suicide attempts, suicidal thinking and plans for suicide, according to a top child psychiatrist at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. A. Bela Sood, associate professor of psychiatry, chair of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and medical director of the Virginia Treatment Center for Children at VCU, says recent studies on the controversial drugs part of a class of pharmaceuticals known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) indicate that SSRIs benefit many youths with major depressive disorder. But potential side effects, including impulsive behavior, suggest that doctors should individualize treatment plans and carefully monitor SSRI usage in aggressive and impulsive children who might be prone to risky or suicidal behavior. The findings are included in the March issue of the journal Current Psychiatry, available at

Extractions: When associate professor Emily Hauenstein talks about depression, she is not talking about the blues. She is referring to major depressive disorder (MDD), a recurrent, incapacitating illness characterized by debilitating changes in sleep patterns, appetite, mood, and memory lasting at least two weeks. It is a disease that particularly singles out women. Hauenstein was struck by the prevalence of MDD among rural women of childbearing age while working with chronically ill children at U.Va. during the 1980s. "Sick kids are a serious drain on maternal resources, and a great many of the moms were depressed," she recalls. Poverty and rural life in all its manifestationslack of health insurance, transportation, and child careconspired to prevent these women from taking advantage of the mental health services they needed. Hauenstein noted that when these women sought health care at all, they tended to use primary care settings. Accordingly, when she applied for a research demonstration grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, she made the rural community health centerand not the large regional hospitalthe point of entry for women needing treatment for MDD.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC OVERVIEW In recent times, there has been renewed interest in the use of the arts in counseling, especially art forms that are considered "expressive." Informed counselors can assist their clients in developing their potential through concrete and abstract verbal and nonverbal art forms that inspire, direct, and heal. Therefore, it is important that counselors know how the arts are used in helping. This type of background enables them to make informed decisions based on the type of treatment available. It can also give them more versatility in the services they provide. WHAT ARE THE EXPRESSIVE ARTS?

We have provided these mental health services for more than 75 years and can help with a range of problems, such as difficulties making friends, trouble at school or depression. We believe that positive change is always possible. We know that children and their families have the strengths and abilities to grow and develop new skills and behaviors. We respect the differences in values and lifestyles of individuals, cultures and communities. Appointments After a brief telephone intake process, we will assign your child to a counselor and schedule an appointment. At the first appointment, a custodial parent or legal guardian must be present at the Clinic. The counselor may also want to see other family members and/or spend some time alone with the child. We will let you know before the first appointment if other family members should attend. Other appointments will be scheduled as needed. Counseling sessions last 50 minutes and it is recommended that a family member be at the Clinic whenever a child is being seen. If you cannot keep an appointment, please call us 24 hours in advance so that we can offer your appointment time to another client who needs service. To reschedule an appointment, call 651-642-4001. Although we welcome initial referrals from doctors, schools, social workers and other community caregivers, we ask parents to schedule appointments with the Clinic.

Beds Needed for Mentally Ill If you were having a heart attack, you would expect to receive the proper care you needed at your local hospital, whether you had the means to pay or not. You wouldn't expect to be cared for in a place that might aggravate your symptoms. And you wouldn't expect to be cared for by someone who usually takes care of newborns. And you certainly wouldn't expect to be put in jail. Yet for dozens of people with mental illness in Northwest Arkansas, this is exactly what is occurring when they have an "attack."
