This document summarizes the results of a study on the health and living conditions of young Sami people in Sweden. Some key findings:
- Young Sami reported experiences of discrimination and unfair treatment from teachers due to their ethnicity. Reindeer herders reported the highest levels of this.
- While most reported good overall health, females reported more feelings of sadness, depression, worry and stress than males.
- A sense of Sami identity through language, contact with traditional communities, and explanation/defense of Sami culture was associated with greater perceived discrimination.
- Alcohol consumption levels were moderate overall with few identified as "risk drinkers", though risk consumption has risen in Sweden overall in recent years
This document defines Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in men and discusses its epidemiology, physiology, etiology, assessment, and treatment. HSDD is characterized by persistently low sexual desire, absent sexual thoughts or fantasies, and lack of responsive desire lasting at least 6 months. It can be lifelong or acquired, generalized or situational. Potential causes include depression, stress, medical conditions, and certain medications. Treatment involves a biopsychosocial approach including counseling, medication management, lifestyle changes, and addressing relationship factors.
This case study describes a 45-year-old male seeking evaluation and treatment for hypersexuality and sex addiction. He has a long history of compulsive sexual behaviors including pornography, masturbation, and risky sexual encounters. His psychiatric history includes bipolar 1 disorder, cannabis use disorder, and an unspecified paraphilic disorder. The formulation considers biological, psychological, social, and behavioral factors contributing to his condition. Treatment recommendations include continued medication management, psychotherapy, medical monitoring, and initiating androgen deprivation therapy to reduce sex drive and compulsivity.
Hypersexual disorder is characterized by repeatedly engaging in sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors in response to stressful life events, boredom or depression leading to impaired social or occupational functioning. It must persist for at least six months and not be caused by substances. Signs include compulsive masturbation, multiple affairs, unsafe sex, cybersex, and obsessions with unattainable partners. Causes may include abuse history, genetics, medical conditions or abnormal hormone levels. Treatment involves psychotherapy, medication and support groups.
Autism spectrum disorder affects about 1 in 68 children in the U.S. each year, with symptoms varying but often including difficulties with social skills and communication as well as repetitive behaviors; while there is no cure, therapy and some medications can help treat specific issues, and awareness, patience, and understanding are important in supporting those with autism.

This document discusses self-harm and suicide in teenagers. It notes that deliberate self-harm is a strong risk factor for future suicide attempts. Self-harm is often used as a coping mechanism to relieve intense feelings like emotional or physical pain. While self-harm provides temporary relief, it is an unhealthy and dangerous coping strategy. The document provides advice on how to respond sensitively if a teenager discloses self-harm and how to help get them the treatment and support they need.
Foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is caused when a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, which crosses the placenta and impacts the foetus's development. It can cause growth issues, central nervous system problems, facial abnormalities, and is a leading cause of intellectual disabilities. Diagnosis involves assessing the mother's drinking history and the child's physical and cognitive development. Children with FAS require stable homes, clear behavioral guidelines, and special education to address their needs. Preventing drinking during pregnancy can eliminate the largest preventable birth defect.

The document summarizes research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. The original ACE Study found that ACEs are common, often occur in clusters, and have strong links to health risks and diseases in adulthood. Individuals with 4 or more ACEs are at greatly increased risk for cancer, heart disease, depression, suicide attempts, drug use, and other negative outcomes. While childhood trauma can disrupt brain development and impact health and behavior, building supportive relationships and teaching coping skills can help mitigate negative impacts and break intergenerational cycles of trauma.

Teenage is a person between 13 to 18 years old. ¨The word puberty is derived from the Latin pubertas, which means adulthood. ¨Puberty is initiated by hormonal changes triggered by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which stimulates the pituitary gland, which in turn activates other glands as well.
¨These changes begin about a year before any of their results are visible. ¨Both the male reproductive hormone testosterone and female hormone estrogen are present in children of both sexes.
In this seminar I will be covering the sexual problems that teenagers go through and find it difficult to deal with.
