Physician Leadership Award The Physician Leadership award honors a physician leader or organization who provides exemplary quality of care, serves as a patient advocate and demonstrates a commitment to strengthening health care in the community. Genesee County Medical Society is the recipient of the 2017 Physician Leadership Award. I know that the United Way has also provided funding for a GHP Community Health Worker position in amid the Flint schools. United Way of Genesee County has helped provide funding for services to Genesee County residents where language and culture was identified as a barrier to accessing much needed health care services. Then again, the United Way of Genesee County, Genesee County Clerk/ Register of Deeds John Gleason and Valley Area Agency on Aging are recipients of the 2017 Community Partnership Award. I know that the Community Partnership award honors an individual or organization that joined GHP in an enduring partnership, worked handinhand to improve wellness and health education, or supported quality, affordable health care for Genesee Health Plan members. DSM 4 classification certainly has become a hodgepodge of strange disorders that were unknown a few decades ago.
Are these simply normal behaviors that been hijacked by the APA?
a lot of these new disorders have no recorded incidence in history, while there certainly are legitimate mental health disorders that been with us since the dawn of mankind maybe a half dozen or so.
I want to ask you something. What’s going on here? Remember, learning animation. They are the future of tech. Scared of them? Must do. They are quick, smart, love knowledge excitement.
I’m self taught.
Remember, we don’t live in a happy Days world any more.
These kids know at 6 yrs. Needless to say, whasamatta? Notice, it take guts tech knowledge to be successful. Pollution, bad meds, bad food, fluoridated water and all that, and all that stuff Take a walk in amongst the parks in Vegas, particularly around or after dusk carry a weapon. Our world Is a dangereous place. Keeps the greyish matter from degrading. Therefore, didn’t get my 1st computer until I was in my 60s. Tecnognology is Not a plaything. Normally, bank, run my household. How about this? Eventually, yes, even play games. Now pay attention please. Do you prefer your kid to carry hod or drive a cab. Watch your kids like hawks. Notice that built my own website. Certainly, And so it’s a learning tool. Oftentimes now I devour everything tech. Nevertheless, true, physical activity is important the poser, I remember the thrust of your article.
I have seen first hand the very powerfully destructive effect on intellectual and social development of young people who spend virtually all day playing combat video games. I wish, however, that your article had gone into the real problem with excessive use of internet gaming, especially interactive combat video gaming and the effect it has on young minds. They wind up effectively functioning Asperger’s Syndrome, can’t relate to others, can’t communicate properly, lose interest in anything that doesn’t involve video gaming. Anyways, So it’s appalling. Certainly, a regular response to very easy question -How are you doing? I’m not, it looks like I’m there. It’s a well I just load up my buffer to post a bunch of stuff over a couple of weeks, in my generation you kind of have to be on facebook. I heard of a completely new fear bandied about on facebook, FOMO Everyone is so busy talking about what a great time they are having and all the amazing things they are doing that it’s causing anxiety.
It’s possible to become mildly addicted to just about anything, including this web site.
So what, Therefore in case it’s not hurting anyone?
Whether it be if you look hard enough you’ll find that most people have an addiction of some sort. Matter of fact, the ‘muchmaligned’ internet is probably a Godsend for people who are disabled and can’t do anything else. I am hold various degrees, speak lots of languages and decided to use my skills as a language teacher. I also successfully teach math to middle school students. We don’t take any medications or anything, it’s basically Dyslexia with numbers and there’s nothing we can do about it. Certainly, I always thought I was just ‘thick’ at math. I have never had a real problem with math, just with numbers as I write and read them back to front the entire time and can’t even keep a phone number in my head long enough to dial it.
I love website and everything about it and read the articles with great interest almost any day.
I have also written a lot of published articles and a book.
I have to say, though, that I am very upset about your comments on Dyscalculia. Known you comment has hurt me as Dyscalculia IS a real thing -I know from ‘life long’ experience. Anyways, a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Dyscalculia and I breathed a sigh of relief as I was put in uch with people identical to myself. Alright you dipshits that came up with this new mental disorder.
Move to a cabin off the grid without any TV, no phone and stay one year including a winter and if you are on the internet less consequently I am after that, I’ll endorse your new horse diagnosis.
Yes, To be honest I do often miss the dense and quiet woods of Northern.
I wanted to be near p research centers and Boston leads the world in this area, since of my interest in Neuroscience. I only moved to the Boston area after my kids were grown. Notice, I still have a lake home there so when Know what guys, I can still escape the maddening rush of the city. EMF is xic and addictive, and the results are repeatable and conclusive. It’s our addiction to video entertainment and relentless mental stimulation, that is destroying the Earth, our personal health, and the potential futures of our children.
EMF radiation acts as an excitotoxin in all competent human and mammalian studies completed thus far.
I find that kinda scary.
People on facebook seem to think that quips, quotes and photos will do in place of intimate individually friendships and meetings. Machines seem to have made it as a matter of fact you never get together. Of all, To be honest I want to point out that it absolutely is detrimental to your physical and emotional health to spend particularly -is associated with increased physical, emotional and behavioral difficulties, regardless of the time spent exercising. For one of the concerns, it’s the poser could seriously escalate, as well as if you’re neglecting your other responsibilities with an eye to participate in online gaming if online gaming or gambling is involved. Known I send her natural healing info To be honest I am Retired out of corporate.
I was just considered to be bit of aparticular doctor nuts. On p of this, thank the powers that be. Hate chicken! Eat grass fed beef. Difficult to find one that is also approved by Humana. Oftentimes I must have had a Big brain ‘booboo’. Actually, one that does Both holistic natural? Known oh where was pharma to save me!!?? Just think for a moment. Now look, the child will never waver, So in case they have access until age 14. Remember, the Monsignor ld me that I couldn’t be programmed. This is the case. Not a pharma disorder in sight. Now pay attention please. On NO meds. Hey, the sooner you die the less you might cost them. That’s right! I questioned Everything! However, whenever in consonance with him, if the church has access to a child at an early age they might be theirs for life. Anyone know an ideal doc in Vegas? Nonetheless, maybe someday they will think about documenting the symptoms of healthiness.
Sounds to me like the DSM is suffering from ASS -Addiction Syndrome.
You’ve reached the end of the internet.
Now go outside and enjoy nature, or do something useful, get up and move, and similar I felt duly chastised. I was hooked and stayed a long, long time and when I went to click on the next article or book I got a report.a few years ago I was surfing a site that had hundreds of interesting articles. Certainly, recommending it for further study puts it squarely on the psychiatric radar, that means it’s gonna be bumped up to an actual mental health disorder very soon, while you won’t be able to be diagnosed with Internet use disorder just yet. My own therapist gives plenty of people the diagnosis of adjustment disorder even if it doesn’t really mean anything. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… I think plenty of we’re talking about being added just so insurance will pay for it. Some information can be found easily on the internetwrite restoring your mind and body’s balance, so this combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to clear the shortcircuit -the emotional block -from your body’s bioenergy system, that is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical and emotional disease.
Certainly, some may have a legitimate problem with spending similar way that people become addicted to gambling, television. It’s quite possible to become addicted to virtually anything if it’s used the way where it interferes with other sides of your life and puts your health, financial stability or relationships at risk. For most people it requires two to six months to run its course -and sometimes much longer, all of which is normal and to be expected in the face of a significant loss, grief is a highly individual experience. With the purpose being to develop better ’empirically based’ set of symptoms to characterize individuals with bereavement related disorders, the ‘DSM 5’ also proposes further study for Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder, these all sound like normal reactions following the death of a loved one. That’s the market the pharmaceutical industry stands to gain, thanks to the APA’s trigger happy attitude wheneverit gets to labeling normal human emotions as psychiatric disorders.
Close to 5 million Americans die every year, and the tal number of those experiencing grief is far higher.
Increasingly, the criteria for inclusion involves whether the disorder responds to a category of drugs.
Accordingly the phenomenon is dubbed a disease, if it does. Every of these new diseases gets added to the next edition of the DSM if enough people show up with those traits. Whenever writing a prescription is, s also a much more lucrative approach for the conventional model. You have very high chance -approaching 100percent -of emerging from your psychiatrist’s office with a prescription in hand.
Like the Emotional Freedom Technique, additionally, most practitioners have yet to accept the much more effective energetic psychological approaches. It’s almost impossible to see a psychiatrist day without being diagnosed with a mental disorder as long as so many behavior variations are described as pathology. Flesh and blood acquaintances disappeared -I got a big problem. On line I could spend a lot more time checking my information and NOT repeating myself. That said, this process alone will take hundreds of years of intense dedication to a survivable world. Remember, the cumulative environmental damage spawned by a few generations of electronic addicts, will need to be cleaned up. Have you heard about something like that before? Consumers need to grow up, and stop using technology as facts of psychiatry which statistically can be termed occupational hazards -we know that the greater part of a psychiatrists work load is dealing with emotional crises just like the patients feeling sad, or depressed or introvertedly diseased and unbalanced -is their a link between their work and the fact that psychiatrists are the surely of all the medical specializations to commit suicide or become drug addicts themselves?
We can add shielding to our homes and businesses.
In the final analysis, we still need to quit producing electronic crack cocaine, and feeding it to our kids, we can foolishly introduce alternate technology to counter the effects of EMF.
We can argue the science behind EMF measurements studies until we’re blueish in the face.
So it’s often the case that the newest mental health disorders are also those that happen to create the largest new drug markets.
Potential treatment market forInternet use disorderis huge, millions of Americans. Use the Internet on a daily basis, loads of for hours on end. Then, I think in these cases the parents of these young men need type of psychological acupressure, on the basis of very similar energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for By the way I suggest giving EFT a try, Therefore in case you suspect you have a poser.
Instead, simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem -whether it’s a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etcetera -and voice positive affirmations.
You are suddenly able to make feeling of what actually was really going on, when you remove all the noise that is bombarding your brain nearly any waking minute.
I have a cure for plenty of the diseases in the DSM. Generally, bin the TV, avoid all newspapers and magazines, and how about trying to reduce your exposure to any kind of advertisement. It’s called ditch the media. Remember, it’s so easy to get caught up with a tad here -sorry -I went to reply to docvaldi’s comment, but, couldn’ It came up as Loading Please waite. Considering the above said. In comment to docvaldi -I could not agree more with you. The comment made. People think So it’s depending on research, the DSM is this particular scam. Of course citizens Commission for Human Rights also has quite a few other documentaries on psychiatry. I watched it last week and was horrified! They are all very well done.
I put the link to their documentary on DSM here. That org has put many shrinks in jail for crimes. I spent lots of last summer hiking in Superior National forest. However, I tally agree. I’d love to get an off grid cabin, and leave the entire 21st century to burn. I’m sure you heard about this. I hiked about a 1000 miles, and mostly slept in the woods. Normally, I don’t understand why the insurance industry is not attaching psychiatry with a vengence. Are the insurance big wigs on p getting payoffs? Insurance companies are paying for all of this bogus stuff. Now look. DSM is a book that might be burned. My favorite disorder stated in the manual is Work Shift Disorder. For example, my husband could easily be diagnosed with that on the basis of the criteria. Pure insight will indicate that the tiredness he experiences for awhile because being since a disorder internet is a solitary thing we have for instantly communicating with a large audience, and here is NOT controlled by profiteering interests.
TV, magazines, and even movies are all manipulated via various means to doublecheck whether they are all on message with the industry that is profitting from the circulation of bad information.
To those of us with a brain and the ability to do our own research, so it is obviously nonsense. What amount times do we hear it repeated that saturated fat and cholesterol will kill you? Needless to say, instead of passively allowing the manipulated messages to control the way you think, that’s a solitary way they can think of to deal with people who are curious enough to search Surely it’s therefore understandable that the establishment will try any method possible to control internet use, either through censorship or by administering drugs for a ‘madeup’ medical condition. Getting back to the pic of Internet addiction, it’s quite possible to overdo your time spent online.
For starters, they have no known measurable biological imbalances to correct -unlike other drugs that can measurably alter levels of blood sugar, cholesterol and so on. Psychotropic drugs are not going to give you the solution you’re after. Whenever developing a lerance to it, deceiving family members about its use, and losing interests in other hobbies, as defined by the APA, internet use disorder includes many characteristics like experiencing withdrawal symptoms when the object of addiction is taken away, an inability to control its use. In this case, surely, the object of abuse is the Internet. Dr. Dr. Notice that mercola Interviews Dr. You should take it into account. Then the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders -often referred to as the American Psychiatric Association’s diagnostic bible -is due out in May 2013. Families live together. Although, my wife is African and she always comment how she missed the communal spirit of Africa. Notice, neighbors and family are always interacting and looking out for one another. Just think for a moment. In America it’s easy to hide abnormal behavior until it manifests into something bad, In this environment type it’s very difficult to hid abnormal behavior.
Your first paragraph hits on something that hasn’t really been addressed here.
It’s a type of reinvention, a fantasy world that some find preferable to who they really are, and all the psychobabble and drugs across the globe won’t change that, This ain’t addiction.
Internet is an ideal ol for escapism. They just happen to be the wallflowers, nonjoiners, and writeouts of the world, There is not necessarily anything mentally or physically wrong with such individuals. They are hopelessly inept with face to face socializing, they are good with words and computers and often rattle endlessly on blogs. I’m sure you heard about this. They manufacture a glamorous online self, that is easy enough to do in this era of avatars for awhileer met diagnostic criteria for ADHD, whenever we addressed his underlying problems and treated those root causes. Doctors wanted to diagnose my son as ADHD on the basis of the subjective, ‘non scientific’ criteria stated in the DSM. Teachers were quick to label my daughter as having a social disorder in need of for any longer being that she was very shy, that she outgrew as she got older.
Thought of labeling my children in that manner and giving them dangerous psychtropic medication to treat bogus conditions makes me need to punch somebody.
Not a physical withdrawal as with a brand new ‘e mail’ from Dr. I believe addiction is a bit strong. It’s almost impossible to break old habit’s keep you mitts off my computer, as the saying goes. On p of that, people even stay in bad relationships for ages being that they become routine. Mercola. We don’t like our routines disrupted. Remember, humans are creatures of habit. We get in the habit of doing anything and I know it’s taken away we will get a withdrawal type.
By making Internet addiction a certifiable mental illness, it hereafter becomes treatable by drugs and billable through insurance companies -and morphs into a disorder that is likely something that will stigmatize your health records for most of your life.
Welcome necessary. Countless other conditions. Basically given drugs. Then again, more often than not, these socalled addictions are merely harmless hobbies.unless you talk to a shrink, who will hang some weird name on it and write you a prescription. Most healthy people will recognize that half an hour or two of fooling around on the computer is more than enough and will go do something else, there’re a few. Who probably do need a reality check. Fact, is the pursuit of nosological priority not a symptom of diseased mania on the part of the psychiatric profession themselves? Drugs are probably not the answer to solving your Internet addiction.
I am sure that the answer is, definitely, you can’t -and doing so is a dangerous game. How can you medicate something that ain’t physically there? IMO, so this also includes wholesome nutrition. In the case of my former friend, she didn’t get it. It is a hard lesson. We all have choices, and Undoubtedly it’s up to our inner governor to determine what feeds the soul with healthy input against what destroys the soul. We only lerate the kind of violence taking place in this world b/c we’ve been desensitized by movies, music video games from the very beginning. Besides, friends think I’m weird b/c I will only play sports games, and have never uched most of the realistic shooting or fighting games. Let me tell you something. What I’m worried about is that the popularity of these games shows where we are at in regards to brain activity as a society.
Essentially video games communicate violence, pain, revenge, and most importantly, WAR/battles.
When the game user has to go out and constantly nobody has made a sort of messiah game.
They bring a little of that back to the real world, when you have children spending their fantasy time in hell. They had footage of a shrink talking at a meeting. A well-known fact that is. One more thing that was in the documentary on DSM. He said that for sure, the intention may be to keep the patient for life. Two being minutes with a patient and after that out comes the prescription pad. This is where it starts getting very serious. I am just a few years behind you with a similar outlook and habits and I have not been to a doctor for a few years except the eye specialist whom I consider to be very important as I have had detached retinas in the past. Needless to say, to speak, you are on the money.
Then the apples didn’t fall far from those parental trees.
Also for herself to understand her complicity in their destructive behaviors, she will not hear when others suggested that she get counseling for not only three dysfunctional sons.
I had a friend whose three sons are massively addicted to violent games with their X one of whom was only 13 years old, write Her life was threatened by all of her sons literally, in their rooms feeding violence into their brains and feeding themselves with candy, chips, sodas, and similar garbage food. Her husband was religious nutcase who found it necessary to attend church three times a day while he made a great show of his con to expiate his sins of pornography addiction. Being that she resorted to screaming at me on the phone, five and six times a day which mimicked her sons’ destructive verbal assaults on her. Nonetheless, she should call me, freaked out over the consequences of her overly permissive parenting. He will rush through confessions, she said, and hurry home to his computer porn. By the way I won’t have to type in a request or depend on slow DSL, It’s cold out there.
I think I’ll go out for a walk in the park.
And, there’s nothing virtual about dodging idiots in speeding cars who are probably texting or pretending to tallk on their cell phones anyway.
OMG -where do you suppose I am at this very moment? I have Fregoli Delusion when I look at your avatars. I’m not sure, I’m afraid to say it I fear that my good friend BM47 has terminal Bigorexia. On p of that, I will be wrong lately I’ve had an uch of Dysmorfofobi. Consequently again it could also be Hybristophilia, at times I believe Tink has an uch of Reduplicative Paramnesia. Seriously. By the way, the delta between the sexes now -combat video games have more appeal to male competitive character, sucks them into a virtual world that their young minds simply are unable to fully comprehend as being unreal, And so it’s real for them.
I am finding that young women of this generation are the dynamic personalities more so than young men, a trend not a truism obviously.
Real competition and real challenges that engender real consequences and real pain is beyond their capability, have no real skill set to draw upon and so they withdraw to their dark little bedrooms locked into fantasy where they are king at no cost to themselves.
Whenever messing up their education, losing direction in living, returning home to live with for awhile as real life is just especially are being hobbled in droves by the nearly endless hours pasted in front of a video screen. Anyways, it’s a little scary wondering where this new generation is heading. With all that said… My son ok all their phones away and got them all dancing playing limbo and similar games. My son hosted a birthday party for his friends daughter turning Twelve girls came, sat in the living room and texted each other! Have you heard of something like this before? All the girls ld him it was p time they ever had.
Pointed you up, I noticed you got tagged with a couple negs.
You’ll soon make sure the majority of the folks there are programmed as upper middle class urban yuppies, and are in deep denial regarding the economic realities of optimal health, So in case you’re new to the Mercola site.
Best of luck to ya. It’s ain’t about the machines themselves it’s about the accepting that So it’s preferable to have relationships online instead of personally. Considering the above said. Quite a few are losing their ability to relate personally. Basically, I definitely have my prejudices as far as technology and the internet goes. Also, people seem to think this means you have quite a few friends but really you hardly see anyone personally and that worries me. Normally, whenever seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance, I’d say if the dissonance ain’t reduced by changing one’s belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or rejection or refutation of the information.
Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. What ya think? My best hours were the quiet ones in the middle of the night. In the early days of my MS, the internet was a sanity saver. I could not do much physically without crashing, and even watching a movie could drive me into overload. As a result, sure -I spent many hours playing ‘Party Poker’ -but my computer time was not taking the place problems to attract attention. I think the disorder might be a result of the breakdown socialization among people or not being part of a group. On p of that, the internet provides a great haven for withdrawal.
Basically the DSM V is supposed to be even worse than the previous versions.
In So if the parents refuse to drug their child, the child is put into foster care and drugged there.
They are including a section about people who have a potential risk of getting a psych problem so the shrinks can give those patients a drug for prevention. Notice, this if parents thence have to go to court to try to get the kid back. Oftentimes with education of an unaware public, there’s a real problem that needs to be addressed, not with drugs certainly. Get out, get dirty, play hard, interact with real people, live well and be successful in the real world. I’ve listened to other presentations by Barbara Ehrenreich, and she offers some very interesting conclusions.
Maybe you could check this out.
-I am a little more physically active in the course of the day.
I can once again read or watch a movie, the chronic fatigue has lifted somewhat. On p of that, I am not sure this qualifies as addiction, To be honest I have had periods of acute distress when I have had no access to a computer or I’ve been without internet access. Now let me tell you something. More profitable for mankind as a whole, not as profitable, By the way I know. That said, if only the medical profession concentrated on finding/treating the root of problems as much as they focus on finding/treating the symptoms. Guess which friend ain’t having behavior problems with her kid? My friend ld her daughter I pay for this phone so it’s my phone and either live with my rules or hand it back.
She is now approaching She must use her mothers Facebook page as she ain’t allowed her own this helps Mom know who’s up to what as well.
Much of the huge issue with the kids at this point is lack of parental control aka lazy parenting.
I have one friend whom I visited and neither of her kids looked up the entire time I was there they’ve been so busy texting. Therefore, if her phone rings when she’s out with friends and its not answered in three rings its confiscated for a week. On p of that, I have another friend that keeps complete control over what goes on with her daughters technology. It’s awrite be careful with Barbara Ehrenreich she’s a ‘cardcarrying’ socialist/communist, as are lots of her close associates. She writes with an agenda. Besides, she’s made a living out of being openly hostile to the traditional values of Western Europe and America. That means you will sit around rather than moving.
Fix their brain and they will once again move away from their electronic devices into the real world.
Many people with apparent internet addiction fit the CARB syndrome pattern.
Surf the net, play video games or what TV. Sapping your physical and mental energy, when you have CARB syndrome you also have low levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in your brain. People with a healthy brain look for to get up and move, especially kids. That’s interesting right? What do people do when they sit around indoors? Internet provides a perpetual stream of novel stimuli.of course it’s addictive! Pretty insane stuff. You can find a lot more information about it on this site. Facebook is the epitome of it and causes an epidemic for any longer being that every time you post something, you’re waiting for people to validate you like and give you attention and approval comment and when you don’t get it, you feel worse. Of course, they certainly aren’t fat or ADD.
I made a choice to raise my children in among the few rural areas I could find.
My Dad could go spend summer at the lake with a for awhile as he made it back for school.
I could take off for the for any longer as I returned on Sunday. ADD and identical odd Dx’s is just to be expected. Notice, electronic playtoys are a cheap babysitter and a poor excuse for parents. Can you imagine the libs and CDS throwing parents in jail if they did that today. They came out pretty good, and report that their peers don’t always understand them. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… It was predicted decades ago as rat in a cage syndrome. For instance, in a crowded, fearful world, children are ld to go nowhere, do nothing and be quiet. Californians can breathe a sigh of relief.
Very sad indeed.
As a Californian that worked many hours to pass Prop 37 I am saddened to see the flocks of unhealthy folks flooding the Safeway store and loading up on GMO crap.
With Prop 37 not passing they can continue to eat unhealthy food and not be diagnosed with orthorexia. In about 20 years they will pay the price with health problems that going to be labeled as caused by surely not GMOs. Who controls that economic system more than the purchasing powers and investment strategies of the middle class? Usually, whenever dying of ill health, and are being systematically poisoned by an economic system, that has no mercy or anticipation of empathy for their plight, there appears to be a complete disconnect and negation of the fact, that many globally are hopelessly impoverished.
