Strokes In Children Need To Be Recognized Quickly http://counsellingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7214#7214 Author: NewsEditor

Subject: Strokes In Children Need To Be Recognized Quickly

Topic Replies: 0

Although usually thought of as afflicting only elderly patients, strokes may occur as early as infancy. But a seemingly healthy 13-year-old, who suddenly found himself unable to move the left side of his body to get into a car, was fortunate that his family acted quickly.

Blog: Pleasure-Blocker Accomplia Shows Promise as Weight-Loss Drug A 2-year longitudinal study shows that men and women taking the experimental weight-loss drug rimonabant lost weight and kept it off. However, specialists warn that medication use should be minimized when lifestyle changes can achieve the same purpose. http://counsellingresource.com/features/archives/2006/weight-loss-diet-and-eating-disorders/accomplia-rct/ Blog: Mixed Messages on ADHD Drugs Side Effects Last week, an FDA advisory committee voted to recommend adding 'black box' safety warnings to ADHD drugs. This week, the director of the FDA's division of psychiatry products says it would be unusual for the agency to issue a 'black box' warning based on such thin evidence. A second FDA committee, which focuses on pediatrics, will consider the drugs' safety next month. http://counsellingresource.com/features/archives/2006/drugs/adhd-mixed-messages/ Blog: Are You Dating a Loser? Is it always your fault? Have you experienced the mean and sweet cycle? Are you walking on eggshells? Does your partner pass the waitress test? These are among the topics touched on by clinical psychologist Dr Joseph M Carver, PhD, in a guest contribution on dating 'losers'. Dr Carver will be available to answer relationship questions or comments you'd like to post at the end of this article. http://counsellingresource.com/features/archives/2006/applied/relationship-losers/ Blog: Black Box Warnings for Ritalin and Other ADHD Drugs It's official: an FDA science advisory committee has voted to recommend the most serious type of 'black box' warning labels for Ritalin and other stimulants used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. http://counsellingresource.com/features/archives/2006/drugs/adhd-drug-warnings/ Forum: Just For Fun - Your Cartoon Personality http://counsellingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46 Existenz, Fri 17-Feb-06 (17 Replies) Forum: Training to be a counsellor http://counsellingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4660 Existenz, Fri 17-Feb-06 (1 Reply)
