(Memphis) Big changes are coming in the way mental disorders are diagnosed as the American Psychiatric Associations diagnostic manual is published this weekend. Its the first major update in 20 years and its getting mixed reviews from medical professionals. Executive Director of Bartletts Transformations Autism Treatment Center Tracy Palm said the changes are a positive move for those with autism. By having that broader diagnosis it might help with diagnosing some of those kids earlier on and getting them the services they need before it becomes a problem in the school system, said Palm. With the changes Aspergers disorder will not be considered autism spectrum disorder. Early intervention for kids with autism is vital. It actually goes in and can change the way their brain is operating and actually heal a lot of the characteristics that they have, said Palm. Palm is a behavior therapist and said the need for autism treatment has grown tenfold in the past several years, Right now the stats are showing 1 in 88 children has autism. Other changes in the mental disorder manual include broadening the definition of ADHD, a new diagnosis for severe recurrent temper tantrums and eliminating the term gender identity disorder. … Continue reading →

Treatment Can Be Done At Home Or School At Low Cost, According To Study Newswise WASHINGTON --- In the first successful experiment with humans using a treatment known as sensory-motor or environmental enrichment, researchers documented marked improvement in young autistic boys when compared to boys treated with traditional behavioral therapies, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. The rationale for the new treatment is rooted in the fact that autistic children typically have sensory problems, the most common involving smell and touch sensitivity. Building on decades of work in animals documenting the profound effects of environmental enrichment on behavioral and neurological outcomes, the authors of the study predicted that similar enrichment in autistic children would have beneficial effects. Because parents can give their child sensory enrichment using items typically available in their home, this therapy provides a low-cost option for enhancing their childs progress, said study co-author Cynthia C. Woo, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California Irvine. The study, which was published online in the APA journal Behavioral Neuroscience, involved 28 autistic boys, ages 3 to 12. Researchers placed the boys in two groups based on their age and autism severity. For six months, both … Continue reading →

By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter THURSDAY, May 16 (HealthDay News) -- Women in their 40s and 50s who suffer from depression are almost twice as likely to have a stroke as women who aren't depressed, according to a large, long-running Australian study. This is not the first study to link depression with an increased risk for stroke, in both men and women. Exactly how depression is associated with stroke is unclear, as is whether treating it reduces the risk, experts say. "Although the absolute risk of stroke is low in mid-aged women, depression does appear to have a large adverse effect on stroke risk in this age group," said lead researcher Caroline Jackson, an epidemiologist in the School of Population Health at the University of Queensland. "Our findings, however, suggest that depression may be a stronger risk factor for stroke in mid-aged women than was previously thought," she said. Despite the growing body of evidence on depression and risk of stroke, depression is generally not included in guidelines for primary stroke prevention, which appears to be an important omission that should be addressed, Jackson noted. The report was published May 16 in the journal Stroke. One expert said this latest … Continue reading →

Having depression may double the risk of stroke for middle-aged women, according to new research. The study's authors say the findings give another reason for doctors to be on the look out for depression in women. "When treating women, doctors need to recognize the serious nature of poor mental health and what effects it can have in the long term," study author Caroline Jackson, an epidemiologist in the School of Population Health at the University of Queensland in Australia, said in a press release. "Current guidelines for stroke prevention tend to overlook the potential role of depression." The 12-year Australian study was the first large-scale study that looked at how depression may affect stroke risk. A total of 10,547 women between 47 and 52 who were part of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, were included in the study. The longitudinal study had asked women about their mental and physical health every three years between 1998 and 2010. About 24 percent of participants were determined to have depression, according to a standardized depression scale and also based on their recent use of antidepressants. There were 177 first time strokes out of all the women, equaling about 1.5 percent of … Continue reading →

"So here it is at last, the distinguished thing!" - Henry James (1843-1916), US author. quoted in A Backward Glance, ch. 14, Edith Wharton (1934) (said to have been uttered after his first stroke) For the first time, live TV recorded a mini-stroke in progress. Serene Branson, a US newscaster suddenly began talking gibberish making people wonder initially if she was drunk or on drugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVKDm4PhEwI). One doctor explained it as a complex migraine attack but others saw it as little stroke. Definition. A transient ischemic attack or TIA is "a temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain, which results in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function." (US National Institutes of Health website). The operative word here is "temporary" because if it doesn't go away within 24 hours or even an hour, that's no longer a "little stroke" but a big one. Signs & symptoms. Have the presence of mind to note any of the following: Numbness, tingling, any change in sensation. Weakness of the extremities. Garbled or slurred speech. Loss of balance.
