LAST BLOG!!!!!

I just wanted to talk about this class and how i felt about it. I think that this class helped me prepare for college and i had fun doing it. I really liked how the class really bonded and bacame like a family thing. i think this was a great class and i'm glad i took it.

Weight

I know that family heredity plays a factor and being around people plays a factor in your weight but what if you are a skinny person and a friend or family member calls you fat to make themselves feel better? would it affect the kid to gain weight or loose a bunch of weight?? Just wondering what all your opinions are let me know.

weekly post

i thought that this week was very interesting because i have many family members who have different types of psychological disorders. I thought it was cool that i knew some of the symptoms of different disorders because i have personal meaning of the text. I also thought that because i had personal meaning i understood the information better and was able to remember what i needed to remember better and more easily.

Bipolar Articles #2

This article is about the symptoms of a person with bipolar when going through a manic phase. People exibit agitation, racing thoughts, and anxiety. The article goes on to say that people who have a type of bipolar disorder could be missed diagnosed because when the person is going through a severe depressive stage could be over looking the manic feelings and actions. It also says that people could have more manic episodes than depressive episodes.http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=12&did=1637152521&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=4&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1271949524&clientId=14507

It says that parents who have the disorder are likely to have children who developed types of the disorder and are more likely to suffer from anxiety disorders. The article also stated that diagnosing bipolar is hard because you need to be able to talk with the person for more than one sit-down occasion. Also parents who suffer from the disease shouldn't think that everything their child does could be symptoms of a psychological disorder and should be in counseling to make sure that if the child ends up having a disorder, that he/she can be treated properly and before the disorder gets out of hand. The article is about a study that was done with parents with and without bipolar disorder and what disorders, if any, the children had. The results showed that the children with bipolar parents were very likely to have ADHD and to also have two or more psychological diseases.

***My next article will be on my next blog (couldn't finish it in class)

deja vu

In our book it says that 2/3rds of all people have some sort of deja vu sometime in their lives. I don't know about other people but i have it a lot, maybe a couple times a month. The last time it happened was the other day and i was really tired and stressed and the book mentions that being stressed and over tired could affect deja vu. My deja vu's also are never really of something that is going on (example being someone walking passed me) but mine are just of people saying things in a conversation to me. i want to keep track of how I'm doing physically whenever this happens and see if being tired or stress really does affect my deja vu. If you know what affects yours i would be interested in knowing.
