Symptoms of Depressive Disorders
Worried you may be suffering from some type of depressive disorder? Check here for the symptoms you should look for before consulting a mental health professional.


Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Children with ADHD—one of the most common of the psychiatric disorders that appear in childhood—can't stay focused on a task, can't sit still, act without thinking, and rarely finish anything. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term effects on a child's ability to make friends or do well at school or work. Over time, children with ADHD may develop depression, poor self-esteem, and other emotional problems.


Burnout Series
Identifying burnout in your staff is a two-step process. The first requisite is an honest and comprehensive assessment of your workplace environment. Next comes a mind and body, motivation and morale assessment of your personnel.


Child Care: Development and Socialization

Stress and the Developing Brain
Research has suggested that many both positive and negative experiences, chronic stressors, and various other environmental factors may affect a young child's developing brain.


Yoga For Mental Health
I often try to provide a further pearl or two of wisdom that the writer might consider. Specifically, I tend to recommend activities known to be generally helpful in promoting mental health and peace of mind including socialization, exercise and relaxation. It has occurred to me that it is fully possible to get the benefits of all three of these recommendations by performing only a single activity which is called Yoga.
