This is the first published pharmacogenetic study on this phenomenon and provides preliminary evidence of the involvement of glutamatergic neurotransmission in the pathogenesis of AAP-induced OC symptoms.

  • HERE'S MY LIST MOM...

    28 Oct 2009 | 3:13 am
    My kids are seriously already on my tail about their Christmas lists! It's not even Halloween quite yet guys!! As a matter of fact, this morning I will be stuffing candy bags for their little school parties taking place this afternoon. What gives? Every year it seems to get worse and worse in the stores, with all the Christmas goop in full swing by Oct. first. Eeeyyy.The lists aren't getting anymore affordable either. Riley wants a Nintendo DS - she has wanted one since last year and just won't give up on it. Shane Michael still wants a Wii - with all the newest Guitar Hero games of course.

  • HERE COMES THE SUN

    27 Oct 2009 | 6:43 am
    So life is slowly starting to get back to some kind of normal around here. This weekend we went to the punkin patch and picked out our pumpkin, had some fun, and watched this big ol' thing shoot pumpkins out of it. Pretty cool really - the kids had a blast. We had to leave early because it started to rain pretty heavily, but it was so nice to just get away from here.I went back to work on Saturday. Things just picked up right where I left off. I've been there for a year now, but still can't get a raise. Owner says we aren't making enough money to afford that. Whatever eh?Today I have to work…

  • BACK TO THE NATTY

    24 Oct 2009 | 4:20 am
    I should be getting ready for work right now. But I'm not. I'm sitting here in front of the lcd monitor like a zombie. I did however remove my month old nail polish. I suppose at some point I should put on some new polish and go have a shower. I don't know if I am ready to deal with all the people yet, all their questions and condolences. I have found myself responding to people that say "I'm sorry about your Dad" with "It's Ok." It's not ok, but what the hell else am I supposed to say? "Thank you?" Sounds stoopid.October has been a most horrible month. So so many folks I know have lost their…

  • HOPE

    17 Oct 2009 | 3:29 pm
    I hope the future brings a lot of positive things. Yesterday was my Daddy's memorial service, and it was truly beautiful I thought. I have so many thank you's to send along, but will do that on a personal level, rather than from an email or blog post. In general though, I would like to say "thank you" to each and every person who sent an email, a message, a phone call, flowers, and memorials. My Dad was so loved by so many. I am just overwhelmed. I am taking this next week off from work, so I can get things done and rest a little bit.I know every family has there own battles, but mine has…

  • CLOSURE

    16 Oct 2009 | 3:12 am
    Today is supposed to be the day of closure. Daddy's funeral service is at 2 this afternoon, then we are having a picnic dinner at the park immediately afterward. I have to go this morning and pick up the meat and cheese trays, pick up the keys to the building in the park I rented, then go and set it all up with tables and chairs and all. I am hoping the folks who offered some help will show up, otherwise it will just be me and the kids and my Mom. Last night I baked a cake, and made the traditional ham and potato casserole. Seems like I could eat just about anything here lately. Not even the…

  • SONGS THAT HAUNT YOUR HEAD

    Mark Nykanen
    31 Oct 2009 | 12:08 pm
    Maybe it’s because it’s Halloween. Maybe it’s because I spent too much time in the car to get to and from a reading at an arts center in Hood River, Oregon. Or maybe it’s just because some songs get lodged in my head and WON’T STOP PLAYING! (Yes, I meant to convey that bit of the craziness.) I was listening to a sixties station on Sirius when the old Rolling Stones song “Out of Time” came on. I hadn’t heard it in years and really enjoyed it. At some level, I might have enjoyed it too much because it just keeps on playing. I wake up in the middle…

  • Thoughts on a snowy October evening

    It’s October but outside it’s like deepest January. This beautiful doe showed up at the Hardscrabble Times world headquarters this evening just as I was signing out from an afternoon of work on a technical editing job. I actually took the photo through the window. Dr.Phil Maffetone has weighed in on the flu vaccine and the debate over the H1N1 “swine flu.” Since finishing “The Horse Boy” the other day hardly an hour has passed that I have not thought about the book, the story and autism. Of course I’m reminded of autism all the time since my son…

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder support group in East Yorkshire

    rayduff
    20 Oct 2009 | 1:00 am
    In a letter in the current edition of the Holderness Gazette Christopher W. Fox from Driffield offers to set up an OCD support group in the East Riding. OCD is short for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is the name given to a condition in which people experience repetitive, upsetting and even frightening thoughts or behaviours. The obsessions are characterised by involuntary thoughts or impuses that people are unable to get rid of. These compel people to carry out an action to reduce the anxiety or stress they feel. People can have compulsions without having obsessional thoughts but, very…

    Anxiety and OCD Exposed

  • Beyond Mindfulness

    Charles H. Elliott, Ph.D.
    3 Nov 2009 | 8:53 am
    My wife, Dr. Smith, and I are big fans of mindfulness approaches to therapy and we’ve included discussions of mindfulness in most of our self help books within the For Dummies series (including Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies). In brief, Mindfulness is typically described as involving focused attention on experiences in the present moment as well as acceptance and openness to whatever the present entails. Experiences are observed and noticed rather than evaluated and judged. A real advantage of taking a Mindful approach to experience is that relatively few present moment…

  • OCD: Feeling, Thinking, Doing

    Laura L. Smith, Ph.D.
    2 Nov 2009 | 8:09 am
    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. For the vast majority of people with OCD, the feeling of anxiety is prominent. A man with OCD might have an obsessive thought that a doorknob is contaminated and the thought of touching the doorknob causes him great distress. He takes a spray bottle of disinfectant and sprays the doorknob and his anxiety decreases. That momentary relief feels pretty good, until the next doorknob appears. The pattern repeats-an obsessive thought, an overestimation of danger or risk, increased anxiety, a compulsive action, and then…

  • Should You Stay With Someone Who Has Borderline Personality Disorder?

    Charles H. Elliott, Ph.D.
    22 Oct 2009 | 7:51 am
    People sometimes ask us if they should stay with a partner who has Borderline Personality Disorder. They tell us that their loved one can flip from wonderful to horrible in a split second. They wonder whether they should keep working on the relationship or abandon ship. We tell those asking this question that people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) indeed engage in a wide variety of behaviors and states of mind. Not surprisingly, people who care about those who have BPD often ask which of these various states represent the “real” person–the difficult states or the…

  • PTSD and Evidence Based Practice

    Laura L. Smith, Ph.D.
    18 Oct 2009 | 12:05 pm
    Like many professionals, clinical psychologists take advantage of continuing education to keep up with new advances in the profession, develop new skills, broaden their knowledge, and keep their license to practice. Frankly, after attending hundreds of hours of continuing education, I can tell you that some conferences are decidedly better than others. I can think of one conference that I sat in the back row and amused myself by counting the heads in front of me that dropped and bobbed. Last week, I attended a well orchestrated day long conference on treating people with Post Traumatic Stress…

  • Families do the best they can do

    Laura L. Smith, Ph.D.
    9 Oct 2009 | 2:01 pm
    We just returned from a trip to New York City. While there, we managed to do a little work and visit some family. Our family, like many families, stretches from the west coast to the east coast. We don’t see each other as often as we’d like. So, when we get together there are always changes. Change is the only predictable, dependable essence of our family (like most families). For us, one significant change has been our assignment to the older generation. For many baby boomers, this new status is largely unanticipated and surprising. Where did all that time go? Our transfer to…
