Little Spousal Lies or Better Communications?

Posted on March 26, 2013 by sandymalawer

“Little Lies Spouses Tell” is an interesting article the appeared recently. Its theme is that a little “buffering” may make a marriage happier. But you have to be careful. Trust is the cornerstone of a good marriage. It’s not what you say but how you say it that is very important.

Does ADHD in Children Lead to Adult Mental Health Problems?

Posted on March 4, 2013 by sandymalawer

A new study finds that ADHD often follows children into adulthood with other mental health disorders. This new study is worth a second look. To me an early accurate diagnosis is extremely important. ADHD is sometimes a catchall diagnosis for children when they are inattentive, impulsive or acting out. The causes could be attributed to other issues such as anxiety, depression or family stressors. A dual diagnosis, such as ADHD and anxiety can also exist. An early and complete diagnosis and a treatment plan is necessary. It may eliminate complications or a continuation of symptoms into adulthood.
