What to Consider When Starting Psychotherapy
If you are considering therapy, I'd like to dispel a few myths and offer you some ideas to consider in finding the right therapist for you. Of the myths, probably the hardest one to overcome is that to be strong means to be able to solve problems on your own.

The Truth About Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder affects more people than you think. Almost 1 out of every 100 adults has been diagnosed with this manic personality disorder. One of my closest family members has been treated for a form of this mental illness that is associated with mood instability. We all experience good and bad days but our highs and lows are usually not as extreme as a person with this illness. They display all the common symptoms associated with it such as extreme ups (mania) and downs (depression).

Asperger Syndrome Symptoms
Asperger syndrome is not a disease or illness. A person does not catch it or recover from it, however, the effects often lessen as people get older and learn coping skills. It is present from birth but it usually takes a long time for people to be convinced that the unusual behaviour and difficulties of a child fit the pattern of Asperger syndrome. What are the basic Asperger Syndrome Symptoms?

New Alzheimer's Drug Shows Promise But Falls Short of Goal
A new drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease showed promise for a considerable number of patients in the middle phase of clinical trials, sustaining the decision made by drug makers Elan and Wyeth to start final Phase III testing. The new drug, Bapineuzumab, is based on a new approach to reduce amyloid plaque in the brain believed to cause the disease. Bapineuzumab did not achieve the overall goals in the Phase II study, however results did show improvement in symptoms...

What Are Some Early Signs Of An Autistic Child?
One of the most important clinical pearls I learned did not come from my professors at NYU medical school but instead came from my mother. I was the last of 5 children born into my family with two of my brothers (twins) severely mentally retarded. While I was doing my pediatrics rotation at Bellevue hospital I became very interested in pediatrics.
