My father earlier had loss of consciousness episode and went into loud snorting sleep. CT brain demonstrated age related atrophy (72 years at that time) and then further MRI showed small vessel ischemic changes on left side. EEG x2 normal. There was a bit of right-sided weakness after the event.
After seven months, again sustained a fall and this time...

My father given dopamine tablets to boost mobility. With that tablet, my father started having irrational fear and was kind of sleepy. Then, by reducing the dose, started feeling okay but we stopped after some time. Now, actually I have doubt whether there is any danger from stopping tablet and whether we should have continued on that tablet.
Till date,...

My father had fall and injured head three months ago. CT and MRI shown subdural hemorrage, subarachonoid hemorrage and epidural hemorrhage. Doctors kept him in observation and discharged him without any surgery as it started to improve. But still, my father struggles with walking and also got weakness. Could you please tell me what may be approximate time...

No need to worry much.. may be, that is not universal.. also, 40 cm test needs practice.. My friend who is very healthy and actively participates in walking and cycling also not able to do 40 cm test.

If food taken is well digested, then no issues. If not, it may result in unpleasant consequences like constipation, diarrhoea, etc., this in turn may influence behaviour of kid.
-
Raghunandan S made a comment
In my personal opinion, kids who eat easily digestible and light food remain calm and active. On the other hand, heavy food, hard to digest and not so hygienically prepared may lead to other health issues resulting in triggering ADHD type behaviour.
Example: Having too much fizzy drinks and hard to digest food may effect bowel movement and create...

Let us see through parents perspective. Parents prefer naughty boy label to their kid over some psychiatric diagnosis.
Naughty boy label comes with hope that things will settle with passage time. Nothing needs to be done. Enjoy life.
Whereas some medical psychiatric diagnosis label entails frequent visits to counseling sessions, EHCP, tension about...

Raghunandan S replied to Mary Horvath
Parents obviously do not want to label their kids with such diagnosis. Even they will suspect reliability of person who is telling this to them.

Raghunandan S replied to Samaa El-Tahawy
Yes, good point.. Actually, some people who think about ADHD all the time, start to see everyone got ADHD..

Raghunandan S made a comment
Some parents do not want to label their kids with these kinds of issues.
Some parents see hyperactive behavior as smartness and try to channelise their kids activeness in more productive way like sending them to drama/music classes, sports training, and multiple extracurricular activities.
Obviously, parents will be proud when their kid is seen as...

Think people who are not diagnosed and helped with regard to ADHD or ASD later in life face difficulties with family and peers, situation will become worse with other illness..
-
Raghunandan S replied to Jane Norie
ADHD, ASD Pathway are now reaching common people. Before, many people thought that behavior is not uncommon and did not distinguish that with normal. Hence, feel like surrounded by over perfectionists, people with anger issues, etc.

I feel like many adults also got ADHD but actions and behavior different and polished.

This single question actually got many thoughts and theories to pause and ponder.
Firstly, if we consider psychological well being as mental health, then this psychological well being is a relative term, that is change from situation, place, etc. Something found as deviant in one situation may not be deviant if it is similar to many.
Secondly,...

Generally speaking, theories in textbook based on some research at some timeline and may not cover whole population as sample.. That is the reason some new theories contradict old hypothesis.. This is natural in scientific research as it should be refutable in future.. Hence, we cannot relay on textbook or literature.. Individual difference plays a role...

Very good information about usage of technology and digital application at walks of life.
Using machines in healthcare still needs lot of research. Diagnostic data can be analysed objectively by machines with even AI, but subjective analysis and differential diagnosis cannot be uniform across all machines in my opinion. -

Students should list what all required to be hired by company, what are skills they looking for or trend, etc. These information and support usually...

Interesting area of research.. We have two approaches in learning delivery, namely linear program approach by BF Skinner and Branched program approach by Crowder.. These can be effective if used audiovisual teaching. Using branch program approach result in effective learning while micro teaching. Descriptive or correlational analysis can be considered.

If advisor has better picture of culture, educational rigor, methodology of delivery, then only students can get clear picture about education at UK.
