It's well-known that Conduct Disorder treatment is difficult, and very often not very successful. When your child is diagnosed as having Conduct Disorder (CD), what are the "Best Practices?" Where do you find help? It's not easy.

As you may know, there are two varieties. A diagnosis made before age ten is referred to as the "childhood-onset" type. (Some children begin showing signs as young as age three, or even age two.) If the child doesn't begin showing signs of CD before age ten, he or she is referred to as having "adolescent-onset" CD.

Adolescent-onset CD has a much better prognosis, and is the type to be discussed here. Adolescent-onset Conduct Disorder is diagnosed where a youngster over age 10 shows any three of these behaviors:

Aggression against people or animals
Non-aggressive destruction of property
Deceitfulness, lying, and theft
Serious violations of rules

CD is very often preceded by "Oppositional Defiance Disorder", or "ODD". Some authorities think that ODD is simply an early stage of CD, but most investigators think that there is a qualitative difference between the two, as evidenced by the aggressive and destructive aspects of CD which are much more evident than they are in ODD.

Conduct Disorder is often accompanied by ADHD, or with learning disorders like dyslexia or reading problems, or both, which really compounds the problems. Now you have an angry, defiant child exhibiting anti-social, even criminal behavior, who is failing in school, not that he seems to care. At the same time, because of his antisocial behavior, most of his peers reject him or her at exactly the time when peer relationships are most important.

Add all this to the difficult family situation, and you have a prescription for a nightmare for the teen, the school, parents and family, and society.

It's a complex disorder, and treatment usually requires that parents learn better parenting skills, that family therapy be entered into, and, often, that medication be employed, especially when ADHD is a co-existing condition, as it is about 50% of the time. None of these are simple or easy, especially in severe cases where there is little communication, and huge resistance on the part of the teenager.

Parent Management Training (PMT), is an approach that teaches parents very specific techniques and procedures designed to improve parent-child interactions. The idea is to improve inconsistent and ineffective parenting. Parents are taught to notice and reinforce positive, appropriate behaviors, while employing brief, not overly harsh, punishments and logical consequences when negative behavior crops up. If the parent(s) are willing to learn and able to utilize the concepts, they can make significant progress.

would definitely say that there s some truth to that

Commonly question about Conduct Disorder Treatment - Is There Any Hope?

Question :

Treatment for Conduct Disorder in children?

I was looking for different types of treatment for kids who have conduct disorder but the only ones that come up are parent management training (PMT) which I know a lot about. Are there any other forms of treatment that have been proposed?

Answer :
This condition is not in my area of expertise but from my training I understand that management of this condition is behavioural/reinforcement orientated. The reason for this is complex but the crux of it is that personality disorders are innate aspect of one s psyche and are therefore incurable." I am really sorry as it would be the most stressful mental condition I could imagine (I d rather be a depressed or schizophrenic as medication does wonders due to the fact that the cause is neurological/chemical). All we can hope is hopefully there will be new developments for you into the future.

Question :

I know there is a video out there on conduct disorder or similar named "The Trouble with Timmy" or similar?

I distinctly can t remember the name of the subject, but it was shown during one of my bachelor child development courses and was based off of the video diaries of a family seeking treatment for their adolescent son. The video included scenes filmed during everyday life in the dining room, and video diaries "confessionals" of the individual family members.

I believe the topic was conduct disorder, but may have been anything in the antisocial behavior diagnosis. I specifically remember that there was a younger daughter in the family, who suffered some hearing problems; the other scene that stands out to me is the mother standing her son on a chair so he can berate her, after she falsely berated him believing he had broken into their room and stole change.

Partially it s driving me nuts I can t remember the name of the video; partially I d like to learn how to get a copy for my own study, if possible.

Answer :
I m quite sure there is an episode of South Park with the same name. Unhelpful answer i know!

Question :

Oppositional Defiance Disorder?

Okay, I am fifteen years old and I think I have either O.D.D. or conduct disorder. Is there anywhere i can go to get treatment for this in the DFW area, or do i just learn to deal with this? it has become somewhat of an annoyance and I would like to help myself in order to better myself. my parents probably won t believe me if I explain the problem to them. any suggestions?

Answer :
Talk to your parents, and show them the research you ve done that brought you to your conclusion to let them know you re serious. Then try and go to the doctor, talk to him/her about your suspicions, see if they agree/disagree and go from there. I wish you the best! :)

Mental Health - Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

cartoons Mental Health Humor Chato B Stewart borderline personality ...

The following article will give you a broad overview of Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder has only been adopted as an official diagnosis in 1980 so it is a very recent addition to the personality disorders.

Remember Michael Douglas and Glenn Close in the film Fatal Attraction? She played a woman with many characteristics of the borderline personality. Another example is Winona Ryder as the girl she played in Girl, Interrupted.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?

People who suffer from this disorder show impulsivity and instability in relationships, moods and self-image. Emotions can be erratic and shift abruptly, particularly from passionate idealization to contemptuous anger. It is obvious that these people are emotionally unstable in their personality.

Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Patients of BPD often show up as being argumentative, sarcastic, quick to take offense, irritable, and are generally hard to be around or live with. Their behavior is regularly impulsive and unpredictable. Habits, which may include gambling, spending, unselective sexual activities and eating sprees can potentially be self-damaging.

Individuals are often manipulative, very sensitive to the way they are treated by others, specifically reacting strongly to criticism and being and or feeling hurt. They often show risk of self-harm and have suicidal tendencies.

Where does it come from?

BPD has a lot of connection with the environmental factors and the psychosocial dynamics of the patient's families. Evidence shows that this disorder runs in families, suggesting it may have genetic components and that it is related to traumatic events that happened during childhood.

BPD typically begins in early adulthood and is more common in women than in men.

Treatment options

Medications like antidepressants, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are used regularly to treat the co-existing symptoms of depression however the evidence for benefit for BPD is weak.

Therapeutic support in the form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy and psychodynamic therapy have been studied and used. For a therapist to be working with BPD patients it takes a lot of flexibility and the ego strength to be projected at with negative attributions.

Commonly question about Mental Health - Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

Question :

How do you deal with a father who has a plethora of mental health issues?

I know it s a very difficult question to answer but I would appreciate genuine mature answers.

My father is firmly against medication and has problems with authority, hence why he often has had trouble seeking counseling. He is definitely in denial and would not be pleased to hear that anything is wrong with him, because apparently he isn t.

I have depression stemming from his side of the family. His father definitely had some personality disorders plus depression. His mother is on medication for schizophrenia.

He has a mix of depression, bipolar, narcissistic personality disorder (MAJORLY), borderline personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, and paranoid personality disorder - according to FOUR health professionals who know our family on a personal level. And they do not all know each other so the fact that all of the conditions were suspected by multiple doctors says a lot.

Knowing it and understanding it is one thing. But how do you live with it? I find that it s easier to keep him at a distance and not talk to him. Of course this frustrates him and he likes to put things into my mouth saying I don t care. But trying to understand him and trying to get him to understand me even in the most balanced rational of ways doesn t work.

I would appreciate any advice - but please make sure it s thought out.

Answer :
I dealt with it by keeping my kids far far away from my father. They were better off for it.

Question :

When should i disclose my mental health issues to my boyfriend?

I ve been seeing this guy for about 6 weeks and everything is going great. Last weekend we agreed upon developing a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship. I m scared because I really like him but he does not know about my mental health status (a horrible body image, bulimia, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder)

I m entering intensive outpatient therapy for these issues next week, and I feel like if he is going to be part of my life he better have some understanding about what s going on. However, I do not want to scare him away with this information, especially considering we have not been together for very long.

When would be the appropriate time to bring this stuff to the table? And how should I go about doing this?

MHe seems like a well-adjusted guy, and most of our conversations have been pretty light hearted, without much room for disclosure of this sort.

Answer :
It seems like something that should have been discussed since the beginning. But since you haven t then just keep it shut for good. He will run away if you tell him.

Anxiety Attacks And Depression

by kaffedamen_

Approximately 80% of all severe cases involving anorexia or bulimia have a coexisting major depression diagnosis. Depression is a very painful and all consuming disorder in and of itself. However, in combination with an eating disorder, depression is beyond devastating and is often masked within the eating disorder itself. Depression in eating disorder clients looks different than it does in clients who have mood disorder alone. One way to describe how depression looks in someone who is suffering with an eating disorder is: hidden misery. For eating disorder clients, depression takes on a heightened quality of hopelessness and self-hatred, and becomes an expression of their identity, not a list of unpleasant symptoms. The depression becomes intertwined with the manifestations of the eating disorder, and because of this interwoven quality, the depressive symptoms are often not clearly distinguishable from the eating disorder. One purpose of this article is to highlight some of the distinctions and differences in how depression manifests itself in someone suffering with anorexia or bulimia. Another purpose is to provide suggestions that will begin to foster hope for these hopeless clients within the therapy setting.

When dealing with eating disorder cases, it is important to understand that if major depression is present, it is most likely present at two levels. First, it will be evident in a history of chronic, low level, dysthymic depression, and secondly, there will be symptoms consistent with one or more prolonged episodes of acute major depressive disorder. The intensity and acuteness of the depression is not always immediately recognizable in how the client is manifesting their eating disorder. Clinical history taking will reveal chronic discouragement, feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, appetite disturbance, sleep disturbance, low energy, fatigue, concentration troubles, difficulty making decisions, and a general feeling of unhappiness and vague hopelessness. Since most eating disorder clients do not seek treatment for many years, it is not uncommon for this kind of chronic dysthymic depression to have been in their lives anywhere from two to eight years. Clinical history will also reveal that as the eating disorder escalated or became more severe in its intensity, there is a concurrent history of intense symptoms of major depression. Oftentimes, recurrent episodes of major depression are seen in those with longstanding eating disorders. In simple words, eating disorder clients have been discouraged for a long time, they have not felt good about themselves for a long time, they have felt hopeless for a long time, and they have felt acute periods of depression in which life became much worse and more difficult for them.

Unique Characteristics One of the most unique characteristics of depression in someone who is suffering with an eating disorder is an intense and high level of self-hatred and self-contempt. This may be because those who have these major depressive episodes in conjunction with an eating disorder have a much more personally negative and identity-based meaning attached to the depressive symptoms. The depressive symptoms say something about who the person is at a core level as a human being. They are much more than simply descriptive of what the individual is experiencing or suffering from at that time in their life. For many women with eating disorders, the depression is broad evidence of their unacceptability and shame, and a daily proof of the deep level of "flawed-ness" that they believe about themselves. The intensity of the depression is magnified or amplified by this extreme perceptual twist of the cognitive distortion of personalization and all-or-nothing thinking. A second symptom of major depression shown to be different in those who suffer with severe eating disorders is that their sense of hopelessness and despair goes way beyond "depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day." The sense of hopelessness is often an expression of how void and empty they feel about who they are, about their lives, and about their futures. Up until the eating disorder has been stabilized, all of that hopelessness has been converted into an addictive attempt to feel in control or to avoid pain through the obsessive acting out of the anorexia or bulimia.

Thirdly, this hopelessness can be played out in recurrent thoughts of death, pervasive suicidal ideation, and suicidal gesturing which many clients with severe anorexia and bulimia can have in a more entrenched and ever-present fashion than clients who have the mood disorder alone. The quality of this wanting to die or dying is tied to a much more personal sense of self-disdain and identity rejection (get rid of me) than just wanting to escape life difficulties. Fourth, the feelings of worthlessness or inadequacy are unique with eating disorders because it goes beyond these feelings. It is an identity issue accompanied by feelings of uselessness, futility, and nothingness that occur without the distraction and obsession of the eating disorder.

A fifth, distinct factor in the depression of those with eating disorders is that their excessive and inappropriate guilt is tied more to emotional caretaking issues and a sense of powerlessness or helplessness than what may typically be seen in those who are suffering with major depression. Their painful self-preoccupation is often in response to their inability to make things different or better in their relationships with significant others.

Commonly question about Hope for the Hopeless - Depression and Eating Disorders

Question :

Recovering from an Eating Disorder and NEED help and hope?

So... about three years ago i became anorexic and lost about thirty pounds. Then I went through a period of depression and gained all the weight i lost back through lack of control over my anorexia. Then because i was suicidal and still had bad (horrible) eating habits (only eating brownies,. over exercising, laxatives and so on) I went into inpatient for 90 days.

Now I am back from treatment but i ve been struggling with bingeing... i think its partially because i m afraid that NOT eating will mean I m anorexic. However, i have gained 10 pounds since i came back.. mostly from binging. I am working with a dietician and she says i am allowed to lose weight (about twenty pounds) which will mean i m right in the middle of my low and high weight.

I am okay with this but i m really struggling with feeling hopeless and that things will never change.

I also used to be a really avid (and decent) runner... but i haven t run for about a year. Is it possible to get that back? and lose an okay amount of weight? And can i ever be happy and unobsessive?

I m 18 so i feel like my body might be resiliant but i m not sure...

Thank you

Do I have teen Depression?

Alright well I am currently 12 years old and my Mom + stepdad emotionally abuse me, I cut my arms (I have about 13 scars that Ive made in the past 3 months) I have been feeling worthless, cant sleep, eating more, and I just feel hopeless. I mean I have hope for the future because I wanna move to dads and become famous with my best friend but Im kinda wondering if thats ever gonna happen. It just seems like Im slipping into insanity. I never wanna do the things I used to do like hang out with friends and my mom is always asking why. Yeah I smile and laugh and have some fun at school but when I get on the bus and get home it seems like everything just falls apart. I have a therapist and I was wondering if I should talk to him about depression in teens? Also, how should I ask? I told my friend Liz who had depression and an anxeity disorder and she said to talk to him. His name is Barry so thats how Im gonna say it. I just feel that I dont wanna tell him because he ll tell my parents and they wont believe Barry and theyll judge me and tell me to cheer up. Please help me and thanks in advance. xoxo

Answer :
i think you should talk to barry, as you really need some to have a good talk to about everything that is conflicting in your life, and they can try and help you out to resolve this situation.
when your cut your self, its like taking everything else out on your self, but you dont ned to do this to yourself, there is other ways to handling things in life, and so speak to someone, you could just talk to barry and make sure everything disscussed is 100% confidential. cheer up, you have many years ahead with a life that is only yours, meaning that whatever you want, you can do it in life aslong as there is hope, and when there is hope, there is a will, to live on as long as you always try and never give up!

The children's designs illustrated their perception and deep feelings about Israel and represented all aspects of the country - landscape, culture, people and symbols. After an initial selection process in the United States, the four winning designs were chosen by the special selection committee that decides on all Israel's stamp designs.

In January 2005, the Israel Postal Authority together with the AVI CHAT Foundation and Jewish Family & Life! and their monthly educational Jewish magazine BabagaNewz, held a contest for Jewish school children in America to design an Israeli stamp which expressed their solidarity with Israel.

Yes, nothing.

Before you send me careening into the toxic swamp where old counselors retire, Im not talking about doing nothing when little David is running into traffic, or using the new babys head for target practice.

Im talking about the relatively recent (and peculiar) notion that good parents need be constantly vigilant in our never-ending task to get involved or mold our progeny into how we think they should be for their own good, of course.

Question :

Where is a good place to meet other people with AS?

AS = Asperger syndrome

Asperger syndrome or Asperger s syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.12

Asperger syndrome is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.3 Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.4 For example, there is doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);5 partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established.1 It has been proposed that the diagnosis of Asperger s be eliminated, to be replaced by a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder on a severity scale.6

The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.1 There is no single treatment, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data.1 Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.7 Most children improve as they mature to adulthood, but social and communication difficulties may persist.4 Some researchers and people with Asperger s have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.8

Question :

Could I maybe have a mental disorder (other than Anorexia)?

Hello, so I ve had a very low self esteem basically all my life (I m 19 now) especially since I was slightly chubby as a child, I developed Anorexia when I was 11 because I felt so horribly insecure with my body after being around so many pretty, thin girls in my middle school. I am such a perfectionist, especially with my body and my talents. I have this certain image of how I want to look in my mind and I strive really hard to get to that point, but of course I go beyond that point and end up back in the hospital. I like making jewelry and writing. I was really excited to start my new book, I worked for hours on the first chapter and the very next day, i deleted it all because I hated it. I m never able to finish a book because of this. I have several dozen stories I d like to put out there but I just don t have the self confidence to get through them. My best friend wants me to write a novel with him (he s also a writer) and I m absolutely terrified of disappointing him.
I am in some ways socially awkward, some people think that I m a loner because I m very quiet but the truth is, I d love to be popular and have many friends, I feel lonely very often but it s so hard for me to approach others because I feel so bad about myself and I m afraid of saying the wrong thing or acting in a weird way. No matter what, I always feel like there is something wrong with me when I go out; I feel like I m walking funny, my outfit looks weird, my hair is messy, ETC. Most of the time I can never find anyone (in real life) who have the same interests as me, sometimes the reason I m quiet is that people around me will be talking about something that I ve never heard of so I can t get in the conversation. Whenever someone mentions the faintest notion about something I like, (for instance; Latin music, Japan products, Nancy Drew games..yeah I m weird) I go insane and run my mouth for miles about that topic, Usually I bore them all with my rambling and always feel ashamed and embarrassed when I m done talking.
I have this mentality that everyone in the world is good and fine but there s always something wrong with me, I always do something wrong. I feel absolutely terrible when I make someone upset or angry, I refuse to leave them alone until the situation is somehow settled. Even when they make me angry I try so desperately to find a way to dispute it so we can get along again. My family fights a lot and it gets me really uptight when they scream at each other. I hate it when people fight and I m so sensitive around people yelling. When my parents yell at me, I instantly start crying, it s not really that they are hurting my feelings I just hate everything being unsettling and out of control so it makes me very, very anxious. My parent shave told me so many times how immature I am for crying all the time, I really can t control myself when I cry. I ll try to hold it in but the tears will literally spill out and it s like a reflex.
My self consciousness really interferes in my life; I will turn down invitations to go out sometimes because I feel too fat, sometimes I won t leave the house to jog because I feel too ugly, I do not have my license yet because I am very certain I will mess up horribly somehow. I m not sure what s wrong with me, I ve never had anything like this diagnosed but I know this isn t normal behavior. Would anyone have an idea? I will be an adult soon so I figure I should get this figured out before it s too late.

Question :

Will the primary voters fall for gimmicks regarding the gas prices and Hillary s ploy to drop the gas-tax?

Government officials have stated dropping the gas tax would result in job loss and more than likely the oil companies would just raise the price back to where it was before they dropped the tax, thus gaining more profits during record profits with no leveling off concerning price at the pump. Barack Obama and most economic experts agree the savings would be minimum, but the damage could be very monumental regarding loss of funding to repair highways and infrastructure. Hillary Clinton & John McCain believe the money could be made up later by doubling the tax when the economy gets back on its feet or in some kind of tax increase down the road. Obama does not want to take away the tax, stating we would just be adding to our debt, but getting little results...such a ploy as what Hillary Clinton is proposing, is in effect a gimmick that sounds good, but does nothing to address the energy problem or the price gouging that is now under investigation. Does America need gimmicks at this time?

Answer :
Unfortunately most Americans don t think as much as you do.
So, yes it may work.

McCain thought of this give-away to the oil companies.
Clinton jumped on it because she recognizes a brilliant political move when she sees it.

All three of them know it s a scam that will increase national debt and line the pockets of the oil companies even more.

Obama is the only one with enough guts to tell the truth about it.

Question :

Has anyone looked into the Steve Henley execution?

I do not proclaim a belief in Steve Henleys guilt or innocence, but admittedly, I have spent many hours trying to reach authorities regarding his execution. I had warranted concerns. As a concerned citizen I elected to try to reach the governor of Tennessee (to no avail)... Useless voice mail messages instructing me that it would be checked the following Monday (Steve Henley was to die on the current Wednesday). So I tried the prison warden (whom has authority) but I met only lies and disconnections followed by rude, misleading, yet (I pray) sad people. It took countless telephone calls and many reporters to even get initial phone #s to call. The reporters refused to give me the #s to what they termed the governors public information officers citing that they were only available to them and even that they were confidential sources Freeks me out a little as a member of the public and the press (I don t put info out often but when I do- it is honest) --- No redress for the public no access to officers or elected officials of the public and a press (I tried to be an open mined member of the press but was rebuffed because I wasnt ABC, NBC, CBS or an affiliate Not even local FOX media was willing to help ) excuse me! I was the press too, trying to get the story and the facts. I believe the public and those whom were to carry it out (and myself) had an obligation a right to address the facts.. (The families and loved ones, and public on all sides had a right to adress matters of constitutional concern)

Should I as a Christian review this matter further?

A warden should not put to death a human being without hearing the pleas of the public. When a self centered corrupt politician holds the office of governor the less known (some elected-some appointed) have an obligation to be absolutely sure that ( in the office they hold) all fiduciary responsibilities are met. Including any responsibility to make sure the condemned have no redress.

Our economy is facing cowards and a (go with the flow - as long as Im making a living) mentality that warden Ricky James Bell ---(615) 350-3100--- exhibited on 2/4/2009. Dont let this deadly consequence continue. Vote out the left wing nuts and he right wing cowards! if they arent true blue patriots to the USA tell-em to get out!

Without the fundamental freedom of life - How can there be a freedom of liberty and the pursuit of happiness? I am not a left winger .Far from it.. I DO BELIEVE IN THE FUNDIMENTAL RIGHTS (AND OBLIGATIONS) OF CITIZENRY IN THE U.S.A..

I find it horrendous that a druggy murderer serves 5 years because he swears ( though he doesnt remember much) his friend did it ???? Huh An unproven defendant murdered by the state---while an admitted bad guy murderer is out doping it up, holding his girl, coaching his kids or killing the next unsuspecting old couple huh?

Cmon people. Reasonable doubt. Hello! We are U.S. Citizens Stand for something

Answer :
How can two men who were together on the night of the murders receive two such different sentences? How can the word of a drug addict who implicated himself in the crime and with everything to lose secure another mans death sentence? Steve Henley should NOT have been executed with this much doubt in the case. In fact, a majority of appellate court judges (5-4) have ruled that Henley sentence should have received a life sentence. This saddens me; this man never had a chance! Just another example of the problems with Tennessee s death penalty!!!!

Question :

Does eliminating "earmarks" really have anything to do with cutting government spending?

Apparently not.

http://prwallstreet.com/article.cfm?arti

If that is true, why, when the economy is in this state, are candidates wasting our times railing about earmarks rather than root cause issues?

And if the "cure" being debated in Congress is to FURTHER ERODE THE CONSTITUTION by encouraging the President to ignore Congressional earmarks at his discretion, isn t that a very dangerous further step along the slippery slope we are on?

"April 10, 2008 Congressman Ron Paul made the following statement - Madame Speaker, abuses of the earmark process by members of both parties demonstrate the need for reform. However earmarks are hardly the most serious problem facing this country. In fact, many, if not most of the problems with earmarks can be fixed by taking simple steps to bring greater transparency to the appropriations process. While I support reforms designed to shine greater sunlight on the process by which members seek earmarks, I fear that some of my colleagues have forgotten that the abuses of the earmarking process are a symptom of the problems with Washington, not the cause. The root of the problem is an out-of-control federal budget. I am also concerned that some reforms proposed by critics of earmarking undermine the separation of powers by eroding the constitutional role Congress plays in determining how federal funds are spent.

Contrary to popular belief, adding earmarks to a bill does not increase federal spending by even one penny. Spending levels for the appropriation bills are set before Congress adds a single earmark to a bill. The question of whether or not the way the money is spent is determined by earmarks or by another means does not effect the total amount of spending.

Since reforming, limiting, or even eliminating earmarks does nothing to reduce federal spending, I have regarded the battle over earmarks as a distraction from the real issue-- the need to reduce the size of government. Recently, opponents of earmarks have embraced an approach to earmark reform that undermines the constitutional separation of powers by encouraging the president to issue an executive order authorizing federal agencies to disregard congressional earmarks placed in committee reports.

Since the presidents executive order would not reduce federal spending, the practical result of such an executive order would be to transfer power over the determination of how federal funds are spent from Congress to unelected federal bureaucrats. Since most earmarks are generated by requests from our constituents, including local elected officials, such as mayors, this executive order has the practical effect of limiting taxpayers ability to influence the ways the federal government spends tax dollars.

Madame Speaker, the drafters of the Constitution gave Congress the powers of the purse because the drafters feared that allowing the branch of government charged with executing the laws to also write the federal budget would concentrate too much power in one branch of government. The founders correctly viewed the separation of law-making and law-enforcement powers as a vital safeguard of liberty. Whenever the president blatantly disregards orders from Congress as to how federal funds should be spent, he is undermining the constitutional separation of powers.

Congress has already all but ceded its authority to declare war to the executive branch. Now we are giving away our power of the purse. Madame Speaker, the logical conclusion of the arguments that it is somehow illegitimate for members of Congress to control the distribution of federal funds in their district is that Congress should only meet one week a year to appropriate a lump sum to be given to the president for him to allocate to the federal government as he sees fit.

Madame Speaker, all members should support efforts to bring greater transparency to the earmarking process. However, we must not allow earmarking reform to distract us from what should be our main priority--restricting federal spending by returning the government to its constitutional limitations. I also urge my colleagues not to allow the current hysteria over earmarks to justify further erosion of our constitutional authority to control the federal budget.

Answer :
I d love it if, despite the complications of modernism on Constitutional America, we could somehow find a leader who d return the country to fiscal sanity. If anyone could, Ron Paul would be the man.

However, nothing could deliver results as reasonable and responsible as an Amendment giving the people (in equal numbers from each lower house district; each district counting as one vote or veto with veto defined as 70% against) the power to decide where OUR tax dollars go.

Regardless of the rhetoric we have to dodge (like so many pizza boxes in a tornado) during an election year, those elected have such broad immunity and (de facto) unchecked power that they can NOT be trusted with OUR money.

Don t know if you ll like me sticking to my guns on this one, DAR, but I sincerely hope you ll apply your enormous intellect to it. Maybe the weaknesses you see have solutions hidden in your creativity.

I stick to this because, as genuine as Dr. Paul is and as adamant and unchanging, the President s powers are still too easily subject to myriad assault techniques. In the end, their best intentions and most noble efforts serve as little more than crushed artifacts of a fallen empire.

Winnsboro, Texas (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

Heather McCreadys sweet voice, peaceful music and message of hope as a suicide prevention advocate fell quiet after the creative folk singer/songwriter began to feel unwell just before her Christmas CD was released last year. In addition to ongoing treatment for bipolar disorder, depression anxiety, Heather McCready also suffers from Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disorder causing her to suffer symptoms that have proven to be a real challenge for the singer such as bouts of throat swelling, asthma, anemia and severe problems with memory. In fact, her illness forced her to cancel her performances and take six months to rest and work closely with doctors to help her recover. Now, Heather McCready is feeling stronger and ready to get back on the stage and do what she loves to do most, sing her uniquely peaceful brand of folk music and spread her message of hope to others. And what better place for her to return to the stage than a concert that benefits causes near and dear to her heart? Heather will be performing alongside her producer/ arranger,Milo Deering, a well known virtuoso and highly sought-after studio musician who has played on literally hundreds of CD's. Milos gifted hand can be heard on many singers and songwriters albums, most notably Lee Ann Rimes, Jack Ingram, Steve Holy, Trout Fishing in America and Slim Whitman. Milo has appeared as a member of Blue Country (Ms. Rimes band) on The Tonight Show, The Today Show, The Grammy Awards, David Letterman, The Billboard Music Awards, Nashville Now, The TNN Awards and The View. Most recently Milo was in the popular bluegrass band, Bealtegras, and has been playing with Heather McCready.

The Wildernest Treehouse MusicFest benefit is on May 4-May 6. 2012. Proceeds will benefit the continuation of musical arts at Crossroads Music Company and Listening Room as well as Mental Health America of Greater Tarrant County, where Heather McCready serves on the board. The weekend will be packed with all genres of bands dedicating their time and talents for music lovers are coming from miles away to enjoy. The location is set on a newly renovated, very cool stage in the trees in a Quitman Texas countryside location. A $ 25 ticket will buy the whole weekend of music! In addition, every performer has donated a song for a compilation CD to further benefit the causes.

Question :

How should i start playing basketball again after resting my knee for 6 months?

i love basketball..i was suffering from a knee injury..consulted a doctor..he prescribed the tablet combiflam for a week and the tablet rewalk for a month and asked me not to play for six months.. is 6 months of rest needed..!? cos i haven t under gone any operations.. i ve controlled my nerves and didn t play ball for 4 months..2 more months to go..but some seniors r telling that the knee will get injured again when i play after 6 months of rest..is that true? if its true how should i prevent it? how and when should i start playing ball again?

Question :

Can I return my car to the dealer if I don t have the title after waiting 6 months for it?

I bought my car from a dealer on Ebay 6 months ago. I got the bill of sale when I went to get the car and he told me he would send me the rest of the papers in the mail that week. Well 6 months later and he keeps sending me temporary tags because he says there s an issue with the paperwork. He said it s not the title but from the dealership itself.

I love the car but I m very tired of this!! Is there any way I can return the car without any hassle? I don t know uch about these kind of things so I need any input I can get. What should I do?

By the way, I bought the extended warranty from a local dealer where I live too, what happens with that? Help please!!!! Thank you!

Answer :
Take your car and the bill of sale to the DMV in your area. You should also get the VIN# from the driver s outside lower dash and write that down and take it with you.

They can look up the car by the VIN# and see what is going on with it. If I remember correctly, if you have both of those, you can get another title in your name.

There shouldnt be a problem with the paperwork unless they really didnt own it or have the title before they placed the vehicle for sale.

By law, they are required to take the vehicle sale transaction paperwork to the DMV for processing within 2 weeks of sale or then they get a penalty. The penalty is only $15 in my state, so they really arent out anything if they don t do it within that time. But I am guessing they sold you the car without the title, which they can t do.

P.S. Even if you buy the car from a dealer, you DO NOT get the title immediately. It has to be processed in your name by the dealer taking the paperwork to the DMV and then they send you the title (DMV) and the car dealer sends you proof of RD-108 (the completed receipt) and your registration.

I don t know about the state where you live, but here in Michigan, the banks do not keep titles anymore. They are on as a leinholder but after a vehicle is paid off, then they send you a letter stating that the vehicle is paid off, it is called a release of lien.

Question :

How do i get faster within 6 months??

How do i get faster within 6 months? My sports meet starts at March...which is 6 months from now. I just took 1 month off cause of an injury. What should i do? The 1 month would surely make me sprint slower...so how many times should i sprint a day? I usually run 5 100Ms at the track and rest for 2 days?? Is that too little?? Should i sprint on a day, the next day train on my muscles, next day rest, then sprint and so on?? Or is there a better way to increase my speed within this 6 months. Really need some advice cause im kinda lost after resting for 1 month. Could u guys tell me how many times u sprint a day?? Or tell me how many times i should sprint a day??

Answer :
since you ve just recovered, i suggest you not to train too hard. it won t do you good to get hurt again. Yes, i think the way you train is too little. you should train 200m once if you re running for 100m (just twice for what you re suppose to run). run 200m than rest for 10 mins, than run again, than rest for 15 mins. run and rest for 5 mins, lastly run again. If you re running short distance,i suggest that you work up your muscles too. cause it ll help. do more squats and stuffs.. but if you re a girl than don t train till you have bulging muscle. (it s ugly) and do not have a set a pattern for your training days. like run and train you muscles for alternate day. do it flexibility. run 2 days, than train for 1 day, than run 1 day and train for 2 day,.. just mix around so your body won t get used to it.
and please wear those stuffs to protect your body when you re running like those to protect your knee, ankles. yes, it s ugly but can t help it. i wear it too! lastly, do not run before your run.
good luck! (:

Question :

How do I get my mum to accept me for who I am?

My mum doesn t think I m normal. Well I m not normal, but she wants me to be. I am an extremely weird child and I can t really help being weird. If I could, for her, I would. But I can t because that s just the type of person I am. I have like seven different personalities (they are all weird) I am also a gamer, skater, Comic/manga and anime enthusiast. I love Japanese culture and plan to go there one day. My mum believes that I have an obsession and that it s also not normal and is always asking me why can t I just be like other girls ? The type of person she would like me to be is a girl that enjoys going out shopping and going out with my friends but I would rather stay in and read my comics or playing on my XBox. She thinks how I dress is horrible and that I should go with the fashions but I don t wanna waste money on clothes when I already have perfectly good ones in my wardrobe. Why do I need more ? She thinks my taste of music is terrible and encourages me to listen to music that makes me want to scratch my eyes out whereas I would prefer listening to my JRock, Vocaloid and Indie bands. It s like she wants me to join the popular crowd I have tried many years to avoid. She continuously tries to persuade me to eat meat even though she knows I have been a vegetarian for a year and she hates me being an atheist too. I do feel bad for not being the kind of child that she wanted but there is nothing I can really do about that. She always finds a way to moan about my appearance or my hobbies and never supports me in anything that I want to do because she just wants me to go to school, get a job and have a family like any normal person and nothing else, but that isn t what I want to do. She says I don t conform because I hate normal television and love reading. She doesn t even trust me to but a t-shirt by myself anymore because if she doesn t like it she will scream at me and then not let me wear it. Now what a waste of money that is and she never likes what I buy because it always have something weird on the front and because I mostly base my sense of dress on Tokyo street fashion. I m never aloud to ride a motorbike... Ever, even though it is the only vehicle i intend to ride when im older. She tells me and my sister, who is also quite strange, that why couldn t her kids be normal like any other kids ? And thinks she might have raised us wrong or something. I don t like her getting upset so I try and hide all my weird stuff away from her as much as possible, but I can t take it anymore. I drew a picture of a rainbow llama yesterday but didn t show it too her because I knew she wouldnt like it. My family thinks I m weird too but I just stopped seeing them and the fact I m not good at sports doesn t help either because my whole family is amazing at it. I just wanna be myself without hiding from her and without her constantly pestering me to be someone who I m not. How can I confront her to get her to accept me for who I really am ?? I really love her, honestly, so how could I do it without getting her upset ?? If you ve read this thanks. I do more weird stuff but if I listed it we d be here all day. I think thats how i ended up with my blog and If my mum knew about the other weird stuff then she may cry... A lot. Thank you

Major Depressive Episode

People reporting a major depressive episode in the last 12 months, by ...

by Rakka

The essential feature of Major Depressive Episode is that the symptom of either depressed mood or loss of interest in almost all activities needs to be present for a period of at least two weeks.

In children and adolescents, the mood may be irritable rather than sad. An individual must also experience at least four additional symptoms from a list that includes:

Changes in appetite or weight.
Sleep and psychomotor activity.
Decreased energy.
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
Recurrent thoughts regarding or planning death.
Suicidal ideation or attempts.

To a diagnosis to be made, the symptom of a Major Depressive Episode must either be present or have recently worsened clearly in comparison to the person's state before the episode.

The symptoms must persist for most of the day, nearly every day for at least two consecutive weeks.

The episode must be accompanied by feelings of sadness or clinically significant impairment in social, occupational or other important areas.

The mood in a Major Depressive Episode is often described by the person as depressed, sad, discouraging, hopeless or "down". In some cases, grief may be initially denied, but can subsequently be reported during an interview assessment where a client usually cries.

In some individuals who complain of feelings of emptiness, without being emotional or anxious, the presence of depressive mood can be seen from facial expression and/or behavior.

Some sufferers complain of somatic symptoms such as body aches, instead of describing feelings of sadness.

Many clients describe, or show increased irritability as in:

Six Common Types of the Depressive Disorder

by unicellular

Generally speaking, there are quite many types of the depressive disorder, ranging from moderate to severe and most of us have experienced one kind or another at various points in our lives. The most common types of this disorder include:

1. Dysthymic Disorder - This condition is a chronic long-lasting form of depression showing many similarities with the major depressive disorder (in the form of the melancholic depression). As one of the two popular forms of clinical depression, it usually has fewer or less serious symptoms than the major depressive disorder but people suffering from this type of depression have a greater-than-average chance of developing MDD.

2. Major Depressive Disorder (clinical depression, major depression, unipolar depression, or unipolar disorder) - People suffering from major depression often report experiencing an all-encompassing low mood accompanied by low self-esteem, which permeates all facets of life, and an inability to experience pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed. Major depressive disorder is a grave illness that impacts an individual's family and personal relationships, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health. Its touch on functioning and wellbeing has been equated to that of chronic medical conditions such as diabetes. Depressed people may be preoccupied with, thoughts and feelings of worthlessness, improper guilt or regret, helplessness, hopelessness, and self-disgust. In severe cases, depressed people may have symptoms of psychosis. These symptoms include delusions or, less commonly, hallucinations, usually of an unpleasant nature. Other symptoms of depression include poor concentration and memory, detachment from social situations and activities, reduced sex drive, and thoughts of death or suicide. Insomnia is common among the depressed. Hypersomnia, or oversleeping, can also happen. Appetite often decreases, with resulting weight loss, although increased appetite and weight gain occasionally occur.

3. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues, is a mood disorder in which individuals who have normal mental health throughout most of the year go through depressive symptoms in the winter or, less often, in the summertime, spring or fall, repeatedly, year after year. Those who experience SAD pass through a depressed mood, somnolence, gain in weight and a craving for sugars during wintertime. SAD is not a singular mood disorder, but is "a specifier of major depressive disorder". There are many distinct treatments for standard (winter-based) seasonal affective disorder, including light therapy with sunlight or bright lights, antidepressant drug medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy, ionized-air therapy, and carefully timed administration of the hormone melatonin.

4. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition indicating serious premenstrual distress with assorted impairment in normal functioning. PMDD is defined by depressed or unstable mood, anxiety, irritability, anger, and additional symptoms taking place solely during the 2 weeks preceding menstruum. Many women go through some of these symptoms in variable degrees, but those who are diagnosed with PDD experience rather severe symptoms.

5. Bipolar disorder (bipolar affective disorder or manic depression) is a condition that depicts a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more sequences of abnormally raised energy levels, cognition, and temper. These moods are typically referred to as mania or, if lighter, hypomania. People who go through manic episodes also usually experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or merged episodes in which facets of both manic disorder and depressive disorder are present at the same time. These episodes are commonly divided by periods of normal mood, but in some individuals, depressive disorder and manic disorder may rapidly take turns, acknowledged as rapid cycling. Intense manic episodes can occasionally lead to psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.
