Other Variables Associated With Psychiatric Disorders

Incidence Trajectories of Psychiatric Disorders After Assault, Injury, and Bereavement

As we all know, research conducted within one country can benefit others by bringing awareness.  The following research is no exception.

Chen, Shen, & Liechtenstein, et al. (2024) talk about how people who did not have a prior psychiatric condition may experience one after experiencing an injury, act of violence, or grief in their study, “Incidence Trajectories of Psychiatric Disorders After Assault, Injury, and Bereavement.”

By having this information before a potential situation occurs, a person can recognize when there are behaviors or personality changes with a loved one.

An Epidemic On The Purview?  The Potential For Brain Disabilities And Other Health Conditions


Ultra-Processed Ingredients

The Florida Atlantic University (2024) discussed how ultra-processed ingredients in many food products can not only increase obesity levels in Americans, but also the levels of diabetes (blood sugar–those personality changes), blood pressure, heart disease (the heart pumps blood to the brain), a cerebrovascular incident, and colorectal cancer in general and young adults in particular.

Why Is There An Increasing Number Of Cancer Diagnoses Among Young Adults?

Cancer Among Adults Under The Age Of 50

Every generation has a population of young adults who are mostly vibrant, healthy, and with a certain joie de vivre.  Sadly, there is an uptick in the number of young adults under the age of 50 being diagnosed with different types of cancer.  

Why?

Carbajal (2024), Cleveland Clinic (2022), and the NCI Staff – National Cancer Institute (2020) explore the phenomenon.

Developing And Reinforcing Healthy Self-Esteem (And The Operative Word Is “Healthy”)

Reconfiguring one’s thinking can go a long way in creating a better relationship with oneself, and others.  Don’t ever fall into a negative mindset.  Think positively about yourself, and allow those corresponding behaviors to travel forward.

2024 Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. – Isaiah 55:08 KJV

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was a bold, courageous, and eloquent orator!  He influenced many racial and ethnic groups and brought people together.

We can never thank the clergy enough for paving the way for all of us in society.
