Effective brain cancer treatment and Mental Relief for Patients

Posted on by blogger

Many people think that the persons, who are suffering from cancer, may not be able to survive and this is an absolutely false statement and feeling. In this advanced world, there are highly qualified surgeons and advanced surgical and non-surgical procedures to treat brain cancer. Of course, depending on the individual, the treatment differs.

The age and health condition of the patients and the size of the tumor and its location are the aspects, which have to be taken for consideration in deciding about the brain cancer treatment procedures. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are the three important and major procedures, which are performed, generally. Home care is absolutely necessary for the patients, who have brain cancer.

The surgical procedure is normally performed, where the scope of survival is there, with the patient. However, surgeons offer various options for the patients and they need to regain confidence, for the purpose of overcoming the cancer battle. It is always possible for them to live and they need to visit the cancer rehabilitation centers, where there are people, who are living peacefully, after getting rid of their cancer.

Further, these procedures have to be performed, only after the permission from the patient and his or her family members. The patient would not be interested to be with the ventilator, which is necessary, during the procedures. Anything could happen to the patients and when they are with the life support, they can survive. Patients have freedom to think and select their treatment procedures and once they agree to the recommended treatment procedure, the surgeon would start to perform his procedure.

Radiation therapy may be a good option for the brain cancer and the size of the tumor has to be suitable for this system. Multi-disciplinary approach to the disease is required and patients should realize that they are going to live, after winning the battle with the cancer. Most of the patients may not have the tumor in brain, once they undertake the radiation treatment. This is the procedure; with the high level energy x-ray is applied, with the external treatment.

The part of the skin may be irritating and the tumor would be burned inside the brain and the patient should be in perfect condition. Now, specialized and advanced chemotherapy and immune therapy combined brain cancer treatment is being performed for the lymphoma patients. This procedure is with less toxic and at the same time, very effective.

It has been reported that Britney Spears is finally recieving much needed medical treatment the Mental Condition known as Bipolar. Spears Whom is now hospitalized after continuing her usually strange behavior and then going reportedly 3-5 days without sleep had long been speculated as having the disease. Bipolar is a very serious disease that can lead to massive mood swings, violence outbreaks, and tons of other very strange behavior.

Bipolar comes in two different stages and one stage in between the two known as Cyclothymia which is a milder form of Bipolar 2. Bipolar I disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by at least one manic or mixed episode. There may be episodes of hypomania or major depression as well. It is a sub-diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and conforms to the classic concept of manic-depressive illness. To be clear however Britney might be experiencing many different variations of this disease.

Bipolar disorder is not a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood, clinically referred to as mania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or mixed episodes which present with features of both mania and depression. These episodes are normally separated by periods of normal mood, but in some patients, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, known as rapid cycling. The disorder has been subdivided into bipolar I, bipolar II and cyclothymia based on the type and severity of mood episodes experienced.

Britney Spears shaved her head earlier last year before entering Rehab, after leaving Rehab she then went on a massive rant throughout hollywood which ended with her losing her kids, being taken forcefully from her home by Paramedics after a standoff with police while holding one of her two sons hostage, and then finally hooking up with a member of the Paparazzi, all the while continually dressing in strange garments including the supposed top half of her wedding dress. We are all hoping Britney Finally gets the help she so desperately needs.

Children Taken To Mental Health Facilities, From School Grounds!

Children taken to mental health facilities, from school grounds!

Taking “care” or taken for a ride?

by Ms. Laurie Anspach, Mental Health Activist and Executive Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Florida (CCHR)

There has been a real “buzz about town” regarding the controversial subject of mental health screening within our public schools. Many parents are left with questions about their rights to protect their children. Parents have the right to know what actions will being taken, by the school, when their child is late for class, skips class, doesnt sit still in class or generally, is deemed inappropriate by a school counselor or teacher.

One young girl made the news after she was subjected to a so-called suicide prevention movie that provided extremely controversial criteria for how to determine if someone is at risk. The idea of mental health entering our childrens school day, is perhaps surprising to some. Unfortunately, the public schools are ridden with different programs that ask intrusive questions of the students; shows them films in the name of suicide prevention; and generally opens the door to diagnosing any child with an apparent disorder that is not backed up by any medical proof.

According to the Florida, WESH T.V, channel 2 report Jenny Helmick, a student at Wolf Lake Middle School, went to see a guidance counselor and ended up spending the night at Lakeside Alternatives. (a mental health facility). This student was involuntarily committed from the school grounds following the showing of a movie about suicide prevention. That is just one way a student can end up being extracted from school and involuntarily committed through the Baker Act (Floridas involuntary commitment law). Jenny was one of four students taken to Lakeside from Wolf Lake Middle School in one year, according to the WESH report.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Florida is a non-profit watchdog group that investigates and exposes violations of human rights in the field of mental health. At our offices, we have received many calls regarding children who were taken from school grounds and brought to a psychiatric ward.

A sample of the typical mental health questionnaire is below. The child needs to answer a multiple choice set of statements and rate them per this numerical system.
1= None of the time
2= Very rarely
3= A little of the time
4 = Some of the time
5= A good part of the time
6= Most of the time
7= All of the time

__________ I feel I get pushed around more than others

__________ I feel that I am a likable person

__________ I am afraid I will appear foolish to others

Imagine if children, who know they have already broken a school rule, under the pressure of getting in trouble at home, answer these questions and 20 more questions like it, but in addition, depending on their answers, they may be deemed by the psychologist administering this questionnaire, to be a risk to themselves or a risk to others. Once the child is deemed such a risk, they are escorted by a law enforcement official, to a receiving facility for the Baker Act, involuntary commitment.

There is an entire array of intervention programs that have been implemented throughout our public schools. Teen Screen, Signs of Suicide and On Campus Intervention Program are a few of them. CCHR Florida has received calls from parents who have told us that their children are subjected to the questionnaires for wearing a shirt that is too short, for being late to school, skipping class or fist fights in the playground. The problems seem to be problems that anyone who is 30 years or older, would have remembered as being handled by detention after school, extra school work and cleaning erasers for the teacher. Now, we have intervention programs, mental health counselors, psychiatric drugs being dispensed to children right in the school by the school nurse.

Perhaps, it is important to either fully educate the parents about the full procedure of these intervention programs, which would include educating them about the potential of their child being involuntarily committed and held in a psychiatric facility for up to 72 hours, minimally. Perhaps, it is time to fully educate the parents about the fact that there are no medical tests, chemical imbalance tests or blood tests to prove that any mental health disorder exists and that the psychiatric drugs that are prescribed to these children are in the same class as cocaine and carry dangerous side effects (some include the FDA black box warning of suicidal ideation).

Additionally, perhaps it is time to review the aspect of parental consent.

CCHR Florida has copies of the mental health screening consent forms. One of these is a two page parental consent form written in 8pt type (which is very difficult to read due to it’s small size) and does not mention the potential of a students evaluation leading to the involuntary commitment.

Minimally, we need to ask ourselves, are parents fully informed? Are the childrens rights fully protected and are the children’s best interests being looked after?
