Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and CYP2D6. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are typically used as antidepressants to treat clinical depression, and may be used to treat anxiety and panic, personality, obsessive compulsive, and eating disorders, and, less often, to treat stress-related disorders.
SSRIs are often the first choice in the pharmacological treatment of depression, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), affects approximately 5% of the U.S. population. [1] Nearly all SSRIs undergo hepatic oxidative metabolism before their elimination from the body; therefore, genetic differences in oxidative metabolism can significantly impact the levels of active drug circulating in a patient. CYP2D6 is a member of the cytochrome P450 family of enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism of drugs. The impact of CYP2D6 activity in drug metabolism is further complicated by the activity of the drug itself on CYP2D6. Increasing norepinephrine. Mentally ill here deserve better options.

Learning how to cope with adversity is an important part of healthy child development.

Neurogenesis - “The birth of new neurons in the brain; also referred to as the process in which neurons are created.”The growth of new brain cells occurs in the region of the brain called the “hippocampus.”
The ‘hippocampus’ is an area involved with memory, learning, and other cognitive functions. In order to live and become part of our brain, new neurons formed in the hippocampus-region need support from surrounding nutrients from blood and glial cells. Most importantly, they need support from other surrounding neurons – otherwise these new brain cells will die. Though thousands of new brain cells are formed and produced via the hippocampus each and every day, many die quickly after birth.
When we can keep them alive for this crucial period after birth, we are able to effectively boost the power of the human brain by adding new brain cells to the bank of existing cells.

ADHD. Depression. Complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Psychological disorder C-PTSD has also been referred to as DESNOS or Disorders of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified.[7] Some researchers believe that C-PTSD is distinct from, but similar to, PTSD, somatization disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and borderline personality disorder.[6] Its main distinctions are a distortion of the person's core identity and significant emotional dysregulation.[8] It was first described in 1992 by an American psychiatrist and scholar, Judith Herman in her book Trauma & Recovery and in an accompanying article.[6][9][10] The disorder is included in the World Health Organization's (WHO) eleventh revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).
The C-PTSD criteria has not yet gone through the private approval board of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Symptoms[edit] Children and adolescents[edit] Dr. Dr. MedHelp. Iain Smith Coaching. Changes in Child Psychology. Maternal Deprivation Theory. By Saul McLeod published 2007 John Bowlby (1907 - 1990) was a psychoanalyst (like Freud) and believed that mental health and behavioral problems could be attributed to early childhood.
Bowlby’s evolutionary theory of attachment suggests that children come into the world biologically pre-programmed to form attachments with others, because this will help them to survive. Bowlby was very much influenced by ethological theory in general, but especially by Lorenz’s (1935) study of imprinting. Lorenz showed that attachment was innate (in young ducklings) and therefore has a survival value. Bowlby believed that attachment behaviors are instinctive and will be activated by any conditions that seem to threaten the achievement of proximity, such as separation, insecurity and fear. Bowlby (1969, 1988) also postulated that the fear of strangers represents an important survival mechanism, built in by nature.

Attachment orientation is defined in terms of twoorthogonal dimensions: avoidance and anxiety (Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998). Infantswhose caregivers are relatively rejecting deactivate the attachment system (Shaver &Mikulincer, 2002): they suppress negative affect, do not seek intimacy, and instead focus onexploration. Science Says: Excessive Crying Could Be Harmful. Science tells us that when babies cry alone and unattended, they experience panic and anxiety.
Their bodies and brains are flooded with adrenaline and cortisol stress hormones. Science has also found that when developing brain tissue is exposed to these hormones for prolonged periods these nerves won’t form connections to other nerves and will degenerate. Is it therefore possible that infants who endure many nights or weeks of crying-it-out alone are actually suffering harmful neurological effects that may have permanent implications on the development of sections of their brain? Here is how science answers this alarming question: To Spank or Not to Spank? Is that Really Still a Question? There is a boundless amount of parenting help to be found in many social network communities where some parents ask questions and other inspired parents give their answers.
The idea, a good one in my opinion, is parents share with other parents in an effort to help one another. This same activity is what use to be done locally, in neighborhood playgrounds, churches, coffee shops, and other places where parents gathered with their children. Because we are now a worldwide community and neighborhood, with our shared backyard fence being the internet, these kinds of social network sites answer the same desires; people wanting to tell other people how to live their lives by giving and receiving advice.
