A Link Between Parents’ Mental Health and Autism

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Earlier today we reported on new research that shows a link between a parent’s mental health and an increase in the likelihood of having a child develop autism. The research examined Swedish hospital records of children born between 1977 and 2003 who were diagnosed with autism and compared them with children who were not diagnosed […]

How Women Choose Their Partners

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

We’ve talked about human attraction between men and women in the past here and here. Previous researchers argued that what women value depended on the type of relationship they were looking for. Women looking for long-term partners want someone who will be a good provider for them and their children, but women seeking short-term flings […]

Gender may determine whether or not a certain amount of anxiety is beneficial

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Anyone who works as much as I do has to have some level of anxiety to keep on going. If I wasn’t worried about getting everything done, keeping a tight schedule and maintaining a clean and organized home, then probably I would be slacking-off, sitting on my can missing appointments and living in a […]

Eating Disorder Awareness 2008

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Eating disorders are usually thought of a teen issue, but increasingly men, adult women and girls as young as seven also suffer. They don’t fit into the usual treatment programs designed for adolescent girls. In my community, there’s a recovery program for girls aged 12 – 19, and another mental health service runs a body […]

Salvage your relationship…maybe

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Having spent more time than usual with my family and several friends over the holidays, I’ve heard a lot about relationship woes. Every relationship goes through hard times, but if you’ve already mentally planned out the packing necessary to send back the items your lover has left at your place during the course of […]

Choosing Happiness in Our Lives Revisited

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Ten years ago, I wrote how we often make the choice of something else less important over our own and our loved ones’ happiness. This article has generated a lot of positive comments over the years apparently because it resonates with people. With another decade under my belt, I’d like to expand a little on […]

What is Abusive?

Monday, December 10th, 2007

What exactly is the definition of domestic abuse? Verbal, psychological, economic, it can manifest in ways that don’t show bruises. HelpGuide maintains a great, concise page about the cycle of violence, types of abuse, warning signs and red flags. If you suspect someone is being abused, or if you feel uneasy in your own situation, […]

Domestic Violence

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

This is a letter to the editor of my local paper that wasn’t published. Slightly modified to be more global.
“Hurry up, you fat f***ing bitch,” said the young man. His companion mewed obediently and walked faster. Another woman in a trendy outfit said nothing. We were strangers walking along a sidewalk and I didn’t confront […]

A Decrease in Semen from Flomax?

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

So I was watching a commercial during the Boston Red Sox game tonight (likely going to sweep the World Series, unfortunately for our Rockies’ fans) for Flomax. Flomax is used to treat symptoms such as — having to urinate often, urinating urgently, weak urine stream and frequently waking up at night to urinate — you […]

Why Sexually-Active Women Don’t Need a (or Another) Man

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

Do women find other men more attractive if they are sexually active, either by themselves (e.g., via masturbation) or with a partner (e.g., via sexual intercourse)?
The answer appears to be no, according to new research.
Researchers were interested in discovering whether individual differences in sexual activity during the past 30 days, in particular penile-vaginal intercourse (a […]
