DMX, has returned from a short stint as an actor and is set to release his fourth album in late September. X, himself a manic-depressive, has titled his new LP The Great Depression. Also known as bipolar disorder, manic-depression is a very serious mental illness affecting thousands of Canadians. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health estimates that at any one time, approximately three million Canadians have a serious form of depression, yet only a third of those seek help. Manic-depression normally starts in young adult life, but can begin in the teenage years. Teenagers with manic-depression suffer from an ongoing and alternating set of highs and lows. Children with bipolar parents or who have a family history of drug and alcohol abuse are particularly susceptible to manic-depression.

HELPING CHILDREN COPE WITH STRESS Karen DeBord, Ph.D. Child Development Specialist North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service While some stress is normal and even healthy, children today seem to encounter many stressful life events at earlier ages. Stress shows itself in children by complaints about stomachaches, being nervous, trouble sleeping, anger flares, and infections. Stress is a life event or situation that causes imbalance in an individual's life. An unhealthy response to stress occurs when the demands of the stressor exceed an individual's coping ability. Often stress results from something that is beyond our control. Control has a great deal to do with levels of stress. Some stress is normal. Daily and life challenges can be expected. For example, most children will attend school and will have to go through many transitions. Most adolescents will have to grapple with their sense of identity to determine where they "fit." Being afraid of the dark and feeling peer pressure are predictable stressors. Other stressors are not as predictable. Disruptions to what is considered normal for the child cause problems with stress. Small amounts of stress, as experienced before a test or when meeting new people, are necessary to present challenges for greater learning. Simple stress experienced when learning a new skill or playing an exciting game raise a person's level of excitement or pressure above the normal level. WHEN IS STRESS DISTRESS?

Depression On This Page What is Depression? What Causes It? Am I Depressed? Friend Depressed? ... Go Back Home What Is Depression? Depression is an illness that can be diagnosed and treated. Depression is more than the blues or the blahs; it is more than the usual, everydays up and downs. When that "down" mood, along with other symptoms, lasts for more than a couple of weeks, the condition may be clinical depression. Clinical depression is a serious health problem that affects the total person. In addition to feelings, it can change behavior, physical health and appearance, academic performance and the ability to handle everyday decisions and pressures. Is it serious? Yes, depression can be very serious! Some of us experience only one depressive episode in our lives, while others experience several recurrences. Some depressive episodes begin with no apparent reason, while others are associated with a life situation or stress. Sometimes people who are depressed cannot perform even the simplest daily activities like getting out of bed or getting dressed; others go through the motions, but it is clear they are not acting or thinking as usual. Some people suffer from bipolar depression in which their moods cycle between two extremes - from the depths of despair to frenzied heights of activity or grandiose ideas about their own competence.

ARC conducted this study in close collaboration with Columbia University School of Public Health - New York State Psychiatric Institute. The needs assessment survey was conducted with 8,266 students in grades 4-12, in all five boroughs of New York City. The sample was drawn from 94 schools, including schools in the Ground Zero area; in other presumed High Risk areas; and in the remainder of New York City. Results are representative of the entire population of the New York City public schools. The survey was conducted six months after the September 11 th attacks, which allowed the assessment of the mental health effects beyond the initial acute period. The results of the study provide strong evidence that the events of September 11 th and other events that followed, including the anthrax attacks and the plane crash in the Rockaways, took a heavy psychological toll on students, including many who were not directly affected.

33. Coping With Depression Regardless of what prejudices exist concerning depression. It is recognizedas a disease. Licensed counselors evolved from school guidance programs. http://scsc.essortment.com/depressioncopin_pan.htm

Coping with depression Depression is a problem that is everywhere. More and more people are being identified as depressed and are treated with drugs and talk therapy. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, five of the following symptoms, for a period of at least 2-weeks may produce the diagnosis of clinical depression: bodyOffer(17183) 1. A Mood that is down, sad, meaningless, or irritable for the major portion of the day. 2. Less interest in pleasurable things. 3. Weight gain or loss to exceed 5% of the body weight. 4. The inability to sleep, or the propensity to sleep all the time. 5. Noticeably slow thinking and processing, or an agitated state. 6. Loss of energy everyday. 7. The feeling that an individual has no worth, or continual guilty feelings. 8. The inability to make decisions or concentrate . 9. Suicidal thoughts and ruminating on death. It is simple enough to look at the criteria and identify there is a problem. But dealing with the illness beyond that is a difficult process. Many individuals have difficulty accepting depression as an illness, and the thought of taking medication for a lifetime is offensive. Talk therapy is extremely expensive and the disparity among practitioners can be mind-boggling. What is the difference between a licensed professional counselor, a social worker, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist. Are there options outside of traditional treatments. Actually the prospect of getting treatment can be overwhelming, and to someone who is depressed this often results in paralysis of action. The outcome is more depression.

Union Mine High School Rio Americano may lose guidance counselors By Elizabeth Hume Bee Staff Writer The San Juan Unified School District distributed termination notices Friday to its 54 high school counselors. A state budget deficit, estimated at between $26 billion and $35 billion, has forced the board to cut employees and programs in the coming fiscal year. Decisions to lay off librarians, custodians and counselors are based on the district's top priority of maintaining classroom personnel, said Deidra Powell, San Juan spokeswoman. Last month the district's board of trustees voted to eliminate positions based on recommendations made by Superintendent General Davie Jr. Powell said the termination notices will not be considered final until the superintendent approves a final recommendation.

He became increasingly withdrawn, irritable, and unhappy following a three-week hospitalization for an acute physical illness. Despite a history of mild learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder, eight year old Lee appeared to be doing well at home and in school. When his best friend moved away he became morose and moody. He lost interest in his school work, his appetite diminished, and he spent long hours sleeping or watching television. At age twelve, Elizabeth appeared helpless and unhappy. She seemed unable to handle the ups and downs of daily life at home or in school and, when faced with stress,often cried, "I hate my life" and "I wish I were dead."

The names have been changed. At age 16 Lenore became depressed after the break-up of a two-year relationship. The grief over the loss of her boyfriend turned into depression: "I thought of nothing but my ex-boyfriend for a long time. I was so depressed, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see the difference between my depressed thoughts and reality. I couldn't deal with the break- up and I felt my life was worth nothing so there was no point in my carrying on." I looked at life so negatively. I began sleeping around, taking drugs and drinking heaps to dull this constant pain. I started to drink in the morning and by the end of the day I felt ready to die.
