Who’s Who In The Mental Health Service: GPS, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, CPNS And Allied Therapists

General Health Info
When a person is experiencing psychological or emotional difficulties (hereafter called ômental health problemsö), they may well attend their GP. The GP will interview them and based on the nature and severity of the persons symptoms may either recommend treatment himself or refer the person on to a specialist. There can seem a bewildering array of such specialists, all with rather similar titles, and one can wonder as to why theyÆve been referred to one specialist rather than another. In this article I give an outline of the qualifications, roles and typical working styles of these specialists. This may be of interest to anyone who is about to, or already seeing, these specialists. (more…)

Health, Vitality, and Courage

Nutrition
During the dark years that followed my diving accident, I deviated from my wholesome eating habits. This deviation was partly due to my limited control over my diet, as I lived in a hospital or a group home. It was also due to my reduced health-consciousness. Largely disgusted with life, I was proportionally hedonistic and suicidal. I sought consolation in gustatory pleasure at the risk of undermining my health. To be more precise, I often overindulged my fondness for fatty and savory foods or sweet ones, with the result that I gained weight and lost my edge – that is, part of my vitality. This loss was ominous. It took a wealth of vitality to accept and overcome the difficulty of attaining happiness. The more I was devitalized and consequently…

A New Idea To The Health Insurance Crisis In America

Health Insurance
Lack of health insurance coverage for over 41 million Americans is one of the nation’s most pressing problems. While most elderly Americans have coverage through Medicare and nearly two-thirds of non-elderly Americans receive health coverage through employer-sponsored plans, many workers and their families remain uninsured because their employer does not offer coverage or they cannot afford the cost of coverage. Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) or HAWK-I here in Iowa help fill in the gaps for low-income children and some of their parents, but the reach of these programs is limited. As a result, millions of Americans without health insurance face adverse health consequences because of delayed or foregone health care and extending coverage to the uninsured has become a national priority. -(Information taken from kff.org)…

Simple Rules For Personal Health And Hygiene

Personal Health
Have you been following a plan for your own personal hygiene, or do you get up in the morning, take a bath, brush and blow dry your hair, use the bathroom through the day, and go to bed at night? If you only do the latter, you need to put more planning and preparation into your personal care and grooming. Cleanliness is seen nowadays as next to Godliness, and neglect of your own personal hygiene may cause health and social problems of which you are not even aware. Bad breath, for example, is a common problem--the perpetrator is often accused of it, but he or she may not be attending to it. Problems such as dandruff are forgivable, but good looks are usually the result of great care and attention…

Does Health Really Matter If You’re Fit?

Fitness
Surprisingly, if you're anything like me, you really don't know. Why not? Well, it's likely because we get so caught up in trying to build the perfect body, we forget to measure our health. "So in truth, in the process of building a better body, we regrettably may forget all about our health." In other words, we're so busy training harder and harder to achieve the coveted six-pack set of abs, and we're working even harder running on a treadmill every morning to peel off those layers of stubborn fat from our bellies... So in truth, in the process of building a better body, we regrettably may forget all about our health. Interestingly, many people believe that health is a byproduct of living a life full of physical fitness. That…
