Hi Everyone,
Here are links to some of the things we covered in our class today.
Here’s the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. Sometimes Realtors have said that they might give this to a client to take, just for the client’s own use and awareness of how much stress they might be under.
Here’s more info on the deathbed confession of the psychologist who created the ADHD diagnosis. Since the original interview was in German, and others have challenged his statement, I am linking to snopes, which gives both sides.
Here’s more info on how medical doctors can now diagnose Alzheimer’s by taking an MRI of the patient’s brain. So instead of a psychological disorder we classify this as a medical issue.
There was a request for more information on how to report suspected child abuse and this PDF explains and quotes the mandatory reporting law.
There’s new research published on the genetics of alcoholism. I found this really interesting.
The FBI’s Fraud Perpetrator Profile paints an interesting picture…
Facts and figures for our quiz came from here and here.
Here’s the Washington State Mental Health Care Association‘s website with information on how to find a counselor.
I highly recommend Cathye Carnes w/Hannah’s Attic Estate Sales. for help with your hoarders.
