Creating Healthy Clinical Boundaries With Patients and Clients
In our work helping our clients and patients, creating boundaries can be hard. We audiologists and speech-language pathologists do this work because we care, and we care deeply. We want to be there for our patients and their families. We want them to know we care, and we want them to feel supported. Additionally, in our professions, we often see patients every week and sometimes multiple times a week. We develop bonds formed on the foundations of trust and compassion. However, if we aren’t careful, the line between healthy and unhealthy boundaries can blur. We might not even realize we have moved beyond healthy boundarie...

Hyperemesis: (Way) beyond morning sickness
Morning sickness — the common term for nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy — is not unusual, as many women know. Starting around the sixth to eighth week of pregnancy, as many as 80% of women report having nausea and 50% experience vomiting. But as comedian Amy Schumer can attest, hyperemesis goes well beyond what people generally think of as morning sickness. Marked by doggedly persistent nausea and vomiting, hyperemesis occurs in up to three out of 100 pregnancies. Not surprisingly, women who have hyperemesis often lose weight: losing approximately 5% of pre-pregnancy weight is common. Why does hyperemesis occ...

The Future of Psychiatry: Telehealth, Chatbots, and Artificial Intelligence
Could a chatbot, an online community, or a telepsychiatry solution offer meaningful help for people who are fighting mental health issues? Could virtual reality, artificial intelligence, or genetics appear as elements of assistance in the toolkit of medical professionals in the fields dealing with the human psyche? While we agree that medical fields requiring the most empathy and human touch will most probably not be swept away by new innovations, we looked thoroughly at how technology will appear in the future of psychiatry. Perhaps even help heal the cursed prince from Beauty and the Beast? The human touch is indispen...

Podcast: Self-Care for Your Mental Health
Self-care is important for everyone, but our hosts feel it is extra important for people managing mental illnesses and other mental health issues.

Supreme Court Will Decide Whether 1964 Law Bans LGBT Workplace Bias
For 40 years Congress has declined to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act , which in recent versions would prohibit private employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (I ’ve discussed its merits before, noting that “as libertarians recognize, every expansion of laws against private discrimination shrinks the freedom of association of the governed.”) Now, as predicted, the Supreme Court has agreed to resolve a split in the circuit courts over the theory that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act banned the se forms of discrimination all along, and that courts simply didn�...

5 Ways To Increase Your Intelligence Every Day
In conclusion, when you ingest the proper foods, vitamins and nootropic nutrients which facilitate neurogenesis in the brain, aid in the stabilizing of neurological structures, and increase the brain’s capacity for memory retention, you allow the brain to grow physically. If you then incorporate the use of techniques which allow the brain’s memory retention and neuro-connectivity to increase, and facilitate the growth of both hemispheres of the brain, you will inevitably increase your intelligence dramatically! For as your brain tissue grows and the neuro-connectivity increases, the information storage and cognitive ca...

Al Franken
The comment thread on my " ethnicity " post digressed to Al Franken. I want to direct your attention to a lengthy discussion of the Franken matter byLaura McGann. She understands why people are so pained by his resignation and many still question it. She covers various points of view and all the arguments, but it ends up being very clear that he habitually engaged in behavior that required him to resign. The alternative would have been great damage to the Democratic party, and to women. I urge you to take the time to read the whole thing but I will give an excerpt that, I hope, makes the point.Journalists also picked up th...
