To combat bullying, it is important to encourage open communication, help children understand what bullying is and how to respond safely, and ensure they know to report any incidents to a trusted adult for support. Bullying profoundly harms victims, so preventing and addressing it effectively is crucial to protecting children's welfare.

Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior among school-aged children involving a real or perceived power imbalance that is repeated over time. It includes threats, spreading rumors, attacks, and social exclusion. While teasing between friends can be playful, bullying crosses a line when it becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant. Parents should be aware of signs that their child may be a victim, like distress, injuries, not wanting to go to school, or declining performance. If bullying is suspected, parents should talk to their child, reassure them, and work with the school to resolve it. Ignoring bullies and telling adults are advised over fighting back.

Annual Public Forum Held to Address Eating DisordersDr David Herzog
Dr. David Herzog, an authority in eating disorders at Harvard Medical School, holds an annual public forum to address issues around eating disorders and reduce their stigma. The 2010 forum focused on eating disorders in the fashion industry. Representatives from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and designers Michael Kors and Natalie Vodianova spoke about the industry's role and their personal experiences. Kors believes early exposure in modeling can lead to body insecurity and eating disorders, while Vodianova overcame anorexia through psychotherapy. The forum aimed to educate the public and implement guidelines to prevent eating disorders.
Dr. David Herzog was the first endowed professor of psychiatry in eating disorders at Harvard Medical School and founded the Harvard Eating Disorders program. Recovery from an eating disorder is difficult and relapse can occur when under stress or during life transitions. Relapse prevention is addressed in treatment by creating an action plan to use if symptoms worsen that includes strategies like mood monitoring, scheduling, planned meals and snacks, identifying triggers, and talking to trusted individuals.
Dr. David Herzog was a prominent expert on eating disorders who founded and directed the Harvard Eating Disorders Center. He played a leadership role in educating others about the early identification and treatment of eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious psychiatric conditions most often diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, especially females. Those with anorexia nervosa fear gaining weight and restrict food intake, while those with bulimia nervosa engage in binge eating followed by purging. The development of eating disorders is influenced by many factors including body dissatisfaction, dieting, genetics, and personal or family history of other conditions rather than one single cause.
Dr. David Herzog is an internationally renowned expert on eating disorders. He was the first Endowed Professor of Psychiatry in the Field of Eating Disorders at Harvard Medical School and created the Harvard Eating Disorders Center. The two main eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, which involves semi-starvation, and bulimia nervosa, which is characterized by binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors. These disorders are most successfully treated when diagnosed early, before medical complications. Most treatment plans for anorexia and bulimia are multi-disciplinary due to the complex interplay of physiological and psychological problems seen in these disorders.
Scholarly Article Questions Psychotropic Medication Use for Anorexia Dr David Herzog
The document summarizes a scholarly article that questions the use of psychotropic medications like antidepressants and antipsychotics in treating anorexia nervosa. The article analyzes data on 520 women with anorexia nervosa over 13 years and finds that 53% reported using psychotropic medications, with 48.4% using antidepressants and 13% using antipsychotics. However, these medications have not been proven effective for anorexia and can have adverse effects, so more research is needed before their continued widespread use.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

What if my student gets upset
1. What if my student gets upset?
If your student feels threatened by your discovery or observations,
she may deny that she has a problem or get upset. If she gets upset
or mad, stay calm. Do not panic or get angry. Do not get into a "Yes
you do / No I don't" power struggle. Give her space to respond,
listen to her, and ask her to listen to you. Remind her that coaches
tell students when they are worried about them.
If she insists that she does not have a problem, or that she can stop
on their own, you can say something like, "You know how it is with
alcoholism and denial. The addiction makes it so hard to see when
you have a serious problem and that you need help. I'm worried
you're trapped in a similar kind of situation. I'm really worried about
you, and even though I hear what you're saying, I think you are really struggling and you
need help stopping. I believe in you and I know you deserve to get help and get better."
If she has tried to get better on her own and hasn't succeeded and is ashamed, point
out that it is very hard to recover without help and that this is not a weakness or failure
on her part. You may need to approach a student more than once before she will agree
to get help.
Offer the name of a referral (physician or psychotherapist) for her to contact. Let her
know that you'll touch base with her to follow up. Ask if it is okay for you to notify the
referral person that he or she can expect to hear from her. In a few days, or whatever
seems to be the right amount of time, check in with the student and ask if she contacted
the person. Follow up with the referral person, and then continue to be supportive of the
student as you would any student. Avoid comments about food, exercise, or
appearance.
