23.01.2022 UNDERSTANDING SCHIZOPHRENIA SCHIZOPHRENIA is a challenging disorder that makes it difficult to distinguish between what is real and unreal, think clearly, manage emotions, relate to others, and function normally. But that doesn't mean there isn't hope. Schizophrenia can be successfully managed. The first step is to identify the signs and symptoms. The second step is to seek help without delay and the third is to stick with the treatment. With the right treatment and support, ...Continue reading

16.01.2022 Avoiding a medical misdiagnosis Five steps to avoid being misdiagnosed 1. Don't be shy. Be curious, and insistent. Ask your doctor questions about your diagnosis and treatment. Ask things like, "What else could this be?" Keep asking questions every step of the way until you're satisfied with the answers. 2. Get a second opinion. But don't show up and tell the next doctor, "I've been diagnosed with this type of illness, what do you think?" Instead, focus on telling the doctor ...all of your symptoms. Don't guide their thinking toward what the first doctor said you have. 3. Take the time to get to know your family medical history - and make sure your doctor knows about it. Studies show your family history may tell you more about what kinds of illnesses you may have or are likely to get than even genetic testing. 4. Take someone with you to doctor's visits. It's hard to listen to difficult medical news and pay attention to all the details at the same time. A friend or family member can remind you of questions you want to ask, and to help you write down important notes. 5. Have your pathology re-checked. If you had a biopsy and your diagnosis is based on your pathology report, try to get it reviewed again. Pathology is incorrectly interpreted more often than commonly thought. If that interpretation is wrong, your diagnosis - and your treatment - are probably going to be wrong, too. Sometimes repeating tests or getting another evaluation of a test can be a "core component" of an accurate diagnosis. Patients should never be afraid or reluctant to get a second opinion, and you should not fear that your health care practitioner will be offended. "This is a huge area of misunderstanding. The overwhelming majority of physicians really welcome second opinions and questions from patients. Often, patients have the perception that their doctors would not like to get 'second guessed,' but they often appreciate (opinions from) their colleagues. They want patients to be confident in their care." Source: Best Doctors, Inc. See more

11.01.2022 SIX MYTHS ABOUT AGEING Anne Tergesen, the Wall Street Journal’s retirement columnist, has created a list of myths and stereotypes commonly associated ageing and busted them all! Here are her six myths: 1. Exercise the more the better ... Contrary to what many people believe, intensive workouts are not always as beneficial as they seem. Tergesen references the Copenhagen City Heart Study, where runners lived on average six years longer than non-runners. But, people who ran fast more than four hours a week cancelled out those longevity benefits. It’s been proven that those who jogged at a moderate pace for just one or two hours a week, with a couple of days off, performed the best. Slow & steady is the key! 2. Young people have the corner on creativity When it comes to innovation and imagination, creativity has been seen to peak in our 20s and 30s. However, David Galenson from the University of Chicago found in his research that over 300 famous artists, poets and novelists created some of their best work later in life. 3. Our brainpower will decline it’s inevitable Several recent studies have offered a number of new ways of thinking about cognitive decline human brains don’t become decrepit, they’re just getting crammed with information! Older brains are great at finding new ways to keep learning and growing. Tergeson says that the kinds of tests used to evaluate cognitive functioning are not the best indicators of real-world performance. Older people tend to perform better in the real world because in life, we bring our experience to bear on learning and problem solving. Learning new skills and getting out of your comfort zone are great ways to help you stay sharp! 4. We’re no longer worth hiring Studies have shown that the idea people aged over 55 are less adaptable and productive is pure stereotype. In jobs where experience matters, older workers often have more value than younger workers. 5. We’re going to get lonely Our social circles certainly get smaller as we age, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we have to be lonely. Several academic studies have shown that friendships often improve with age. We tend to develop deeper and more meaningful relationships later in life. 6. Grouchiness comes with the territory A number of studies have shown that 90% of us grow less depressed and more accepting of life’s ups and downs as we age. See more
