Diagnosing and Treating Bipolar Disorder
Hartgrove Hospital offers psychiatric programs to help people achieve emotional balance and stability. The hospital's clinicians often treat adolescents diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a serious condition characterized by shifts between extreme happiness and withdrawal. Researchers believe bipolar disorder is caused by both genetic and biological factors like faulty neurotransmitters. Treatments include medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers as well as therapy, while long-term management helps prevent mood swings from escalating into more severe depressive or manic episodes.

Treatment Options for People with Personality Disorder
A psychologist in Boca Raton, Florida, David Steinbok provides treatment for people who are experiencing depression and anxiety. He received certification in psychodynamic psychotherapy in 2017 from Florida Psychoanalytic Center. David Steinbok employs psychotherapy to treat emotional and personality disorders.
Personality disorder cases can be complicated, with psychologists and mental health doctors being the first port of call. While there is no definitive medication to treat personality disorders, psychological techniques could yield extensive long-term results. Below are two psychological methods:
1. Therapy
Also known as psychotherapy, therapy involves communication between the psychologist and patient, discussing mood, feelings, and thoughts. Some of the treatment types include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). CBT emphasizes the practical approach and solutions to psychological disorders. It is generally intensive and yields an impact on the short-term. Meanwhile, IPT encourages interactions with other people based on the proposition that personal relationships are at the center of psychological issues
2. Temporary Crisis Control
For terminal, severe cases of personality disorder, personal safety becomes a priority. Recommendations for partial or full hospital admission are suitable for likely occurrences of self-harm and suicidal actions borne out of personality disorder cases. Hospitalizations should be temporary as they aren't actual treatments to the underlying issue. Therefore, crisis control often precedes a psychologist appointment.

Self Prescription and It's Advantages
Self-medication involves using substances or influences to self-administer treatment for physical or psychological ailments without medical supervision. Common forms of self-medication include over-the-counter drugs for minor health issues and dietary supplements. While self-medication can provide independence and immediate relief for minor conditions, doctors prescribing for themselves or loved ones risks fueling addiction. Self-medication is most appropriate for common minor issues like headaches, coughs, or skin infections, but serious or ongoing conditions still warrant medical advice.

CU Traits_2016_AMF
This study examined trajectories of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in a sample of 1,170 male adolescent offenders to predict later violence and substance use. It identified three trajectories of CU traits (low, moderate, high) and found that membership in the high CU trajectory, particularly combined with elevated early conduct problems, predicted higher levels of violence and substance use over time. It also found that the effects of high CU trajectory combined with elevated conduct problems were stronger for those with higher executive control. This highlights how identifying subgroups based on CU trajectories can improve understanding of developmental pathways leading to severe antisocial behavior.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens at the moment that an astronaut’s return...
If you’ve ever wondered what happens at the moment that an astronaut’s return capsule hits the sea, you’re not alone. NASA engineers think about it rather a lot, which is why they’ve been dropping the new Orion module, full of crash-test dummies, into a huge swimming pool.
The space agency points out that for the briefest of moments, even after decelerations with parachutes, the impact with the sea creates “the mission’s greatest deceleration and with that, some of the greatest forces on the human body.” So, uh, they better get it right, because NASA’s Orion module is planned to touchdown—or more accurately, splashdown—in the Pacific Ocean.
The engineers do the only sensible thing and load up a module with crash test dummies, then drop it into NASA Langley Research Center’s 20-foot-deep Hydro Impact Basin. “Not only can we learn how the structure reacts to a water impact in these tests, but we can also understand how splashdown loads are transmitted to the seats and crew,” explains Mark Baldwin, who’s the crew injury lead for Orion at Lockheed Martin.
The dummies aren’t dumb, though: They’re covered with sensors that provide the team with data about what happens during impact. That allows them to understand what happens to the body, allowing them to ensure the potential for injury at impact is minimized.
