Mental Health Week in Review: September 30-October 7by Beth McHughRecently we have been talking about death and how to cope with both the overwhelming feelings of despair that accompany the end of a life. We also looked at just what is a reasonable time spam to get over the loss of a much loved friend or family member. Mental Health Week in Review: August 24-31by Beth McHughMen have a bad reputation for being commitment phobic, but is it really always them who are at fault? In Is Your Man Really Commitment Phobic? (1) we looked at the possibility whereby women who continually date men who " won't commit", actually have a problem with commitment themselves. The Week in Review: August 13-20by Beth McHughWe have recently spent a lot of time looking at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). We looked at the condition from the viewpoint of the sufferer in Borderline Personality Disorder: Kerri's Story. Mental Health Week in Review July 12-18by Beth McHughThis week in Mental Health we looked at a range of issues including what happens to a mother when she is found by authorities to be suffering from Munchausen disorder by proxy and she has deliberately harmed her child. Mental Health Week in Review June 11-19by Beth McHughWe've had another big week in Mental Health where we looked at a range of topics, including the ongoing debate as to whether homosexuality is an inborn trait or simply learned and therefore a choice. Mental Health Week in Review: May 19-26by Beth McHughThis week we spent time looking at the anger that accompanies incidents of sexual abuse. In Anger and Sexual Abuse (1), we looked at how the twin themes of guilt and anger join together to keep a victim of sexual abuse caught in a horrific internal limbo of pain. |
