Insights and ideas from the therapist team at Meghan L. Reitz and Associates.
Do you ever want to be someone different? Or change who you are? I think we all have had times where we have desired these things.
The Discovery Channel has been airing "Psych Week," and it seems appropriate to compose a blog post on how this type of programming impacts viewers and professionals alike. As a therapist, I am the first to admit how drawn I am to such television programs. It is always interesting to see "real-life" stories and experiences that pertain to the mental health field.
Is it ADD? Is it ADHD? Is it depression? Is it anxiety? Or is it something else medically related? These are all valid questions that you have possibly asked yourself or asked about your child at one time or another. It is a difficult diagnosis to pin-point and can often be confused with other diagnoses. It is extremely important try the following steps, in this order, to assess whether or not you might be dealing with ADD/ADHD.
Change is what makes us human. It is a natural way of life as we know it- integral to growth, both physical and emotional. Change occurs whether we are ready for it or not, and sometimes we do everything we can to abstain from change because the fear of the unknown holds us back.
