#Asperger's syndrome --what is a mental illness? @1a

9.27: psy/Asperger's syndrome/what is a mental illness?:
. an adamant correction by @1a's Joshua Johnson
had me retorting:
how is Asperger's syndrome (autism spectrum disorder)
not a mental illness?

cure for some type-1 diabetes @JDRF_Tucson

10: web.health/type 1 diabetes/causes:
. what causes type 1?
the only widely acknowledged risk factor is heredetary
due to recessive gene (needs both parents).
. I seem to recall that this is one of those hereditary things
that could be controlled by environment ...

J Endocrinol Invest. 2012 Sep 24:
rising incidence of type 1 diabetes in belgrade
children aged 0-14 in the period from 1982 to 2005:

Type- 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease
in which both genetic and environmental factors
play a role in the etiology
. The average annual age adjusted incidence rate
of type-1 diabetes for Belgrade was 10.4/100,000
It was slightly higher in boys than in girls.
Over the 24 years incidence rates significantly increased
by 8.5% for boys and 3.0% for girls.
. the age of onset is not evenly spread over the age groups:
0-4, 5-9, and 10-14
-- it peaks during the natural rise of hormonal activity;
but only recently the rates are same for both sexes:
The age-specific annual incidence rates (per 100,000)
for the age groups 0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 were
5.5 (95% CI = 4.5-6.7),
11.9 (95% CI = 10.5-13.5) and
15.4 (95% CI = 13.8- 17.1), respectively.
The highest increase of incidence rate
was in the 5-9 age group.
The results obtained are in line with
data from other studies showing that
the incidence of type-1 diabetes has been increasing
in almost all populations worldwide.

natural hormone levels of children:
. estrogenic activity during femal infancy is quite high,
then it's supposed dip quite low until age 7 .
[. of course it should quite low in males
except around infancy? .]
Endocrine disruptors and type 1 diabetes: Is there a link?

. natural hormones can influence
the development of type 1 diabetes.
Gender differences are present
in type 1 (and type 2) diabetes,
and it is possible that sex hormones may influence
the risk of developing type 1 diabetes .
The incidence of type 1 diabetes in children
peaks at puberty,
a time of hormonal changes .
Pregnancy, another time of hormonal change,
can lead to gestational diabetes,
later followed by type 1 or 2 diabetes .
Psychological stress may be a risk factor;
and while the mechanism is unknown,
perhaps hormones released during stress
could play a role.
In addition, the hormone vitamin D
appears to be protective against it .
The role of taller height and excess weight
as risk factors for type 1 diabetes
may also involve hormones
We do not know, however, if xenoestrogens
contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes.

--
. if it's only slighly higher in males now,
and the rate increase for males
has been much higher than for females,
it seems that this disease is influenced by estrogens;
since during the last 25 years, due to rises in obesity,
children of both sexes have been getting
much more estrogen for that age;
but the proportional increase in estrogen
has been much higher for males .
. obesity also lowers male testosterone,
and there has been more exposure to xenoestrogens .

witches, queers, and schiz', oh my!

6.1: co.apt/med/psychiatry/corrupted by mobocracy:
. our forefathers thought that you could tell a witch
by their being undrownable;
if they died, you killed an innocent
-- but that was justifiable collateral damage
in the war on witches!
. modern psychiatry until the 70's
had diagnosed homosexuality as mental disorder;
because it was indeed causing mental disorders
to many around them,
but politically you couldn't say most people are
mentally ill on exposure to homosexuality,
so they simply cheated the queers .
. the opportunistic mainstream gov's
or their tools of control, like psychiatry,
were caught lying about witches and queers,
and they are still lying about schizophrenics:

AAP guidelines update #ADHD #med #childcare

4.19: news.med/adhd/AAP guidelines update:

. did you think it was only psychiatrists
who medicated mental illness?
the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics)
started doing so in 2000 .
. back then they were telling all pediatricians
to screen ages 6..12 for adhd
(attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder).
. this was actually a prayed-for improvement;
because, before the diagnosis of adhd,
parents would seek help from psychiatrists,
who would put their kid on anti-aggression drugs
-- the same endocrine-disrupting major tranquilizers
that are given to seriously ill schizophrenics .

In 2011, the AAP updated these guidelines,
now recommending that primary care physicians,
screen ages 4 through 18 for ADHD .
. here's how the adhd stimulants fit in the treatment plan:
"( For preschool-age children,
behavioral interventions are considered first-line therapy.
If resources are unavailable, physicians should
carefully weigh the risks of drug therapy at an early age
with those associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment.

For children aged 6 to 11,
there's combination medication and behavioral therapy .
Evidence for use of stimulants in this age group is strong.
For older children, treatment should begin with medication.
Behavioral therapy may be prescribed,
but data on it in this age group
are not as strong as in younger patients.
Medication for ADHD should be titrated to achieve
maximal benefits with minimal adverse events.
) .
. one problem the "(minimal adverse events) criteria
is that the some of the most notable adverse events
come later;
according to Dr.Breggin,
the use of stimulants will inhibit growth;
and, in households where diet is not conservative,
it can lead to hypertension, and enlarged heart .
. stimulants may increase the risk of
other psychiatric disorders (ocd,
schizophrenia-like disorders,
depression, suicidal ideations).
