Different
types of Disabilities and health problem worldwide.
When I say learning disabilities
and health problems worldwide I mean all walks of life.
At the moment I am working on a study
of disabilities, health problems, illnesses and conditions for life. To be
truthful there are so many disabilities, health problems, illnesses and
conditions that are hard to know what is what. There are so many questions that
need answering like what disabilities, health problems, illnesses and
condition, how they start? Before, during or after birth and whether they last
for life or now.
As far as we are aware in today's world
there's at least 1 in 5 people just suffer from 1 learning disability, which
may not seem a lot to go by but believe me it is so there's still a lot an
awareness to raise.
The general population only have
to have a cold for a about a week or two which does seem like a lifetime but
then it goes, which is a huge difference to those of us who have lifetime
disabilities, health problems, illnesses and conditions. There's even a huge
difference between have them from birth to someone having them sometime or
halfway through life. We live in hope it will never happen to you but never say
never and a huge difference to your life if it ever does.
People with disabilities and health
problems have to live with these barriers.
- Poor health care.
- Having to depend on benefits for the cost of our health care.
- No access to health insurance.
- Less access to adequate health care.
There are many types of disabilities.
- Vision, sight, seeing and blind.
- Thinking, mind, remembering and memory.
- Hearing, hard of hearing and deaf.
- Movement Dyspraxia.
- Communicating, socialising and Autism.
ADHD
AND ADD.
There still needs to be more awareness
of ADHD and ADD because it is one of the most misunderstood disability and
health. This is because it can mainly cause the person to have behaviour
problems that can get them understood for been rude, bad mannered, nasty and
etc but as children they need to learn right from wrong as much as anyone, only
that they may take longer to learn right from wrong compared to other people,
which can become embarrassing for them and others around them because they not
always aware of what they are doing wrong and why it’s wrong when they do
understand it’s wrong. That doesn’t mean they should be treated any special to
others but it means that certain things don’t mean to appear as they do.
There are two types of Hyperactivity in
people ADHD stands for Attention Deflect/ Hyperactivity. ADD stands for
Attention Deflect Disorder. What is the difference between the two? ADHD is
twice likely more in boys than girls.
Most
common symptoms of ADHD.
·
Impulsiveness thinks of consequences.
· Jumping from one activity to another. ( Bad
concentration)
· Interrupting when people are talking.
· Finding hard it to keep still.
· Inattention
easy distasted, zooming out, unfinished work or no work at all, finding it hard
to do things a certain length of time and find it hard to listen to people they
really say.
· They could be on the same task or job all day.
· They may not be able to complete things to the
speed others want them to.
· They have either too much energy or no energy at
all.
·
If someone suffers from ADHD or ADD
teachers, tutors and employers need be aware to what is to be except in able to
give the right support.
Introduction to eating disorders.
One important awareness I must raise is eating disorders because
if you find yourself treating patients who have had their money cut or and
stopped as I have said they are in risk of either not eating or ending up going
into debt. The ones who are in risk of not eating or even not even eating
enough is a big worry. This is where health checks more often are necessary
because they could be in risks of such eating disorders like Anorexia Nervosa,
which is an underweight eating Disorder. Bulimia Nervosa is an
overweight Eating Disorder, which is just as serious. Some people may even be
in risk of going from one eating Disorder to the other, mainly if they have had
their benefits cut or stopped and they are not able to eat at all. Although
there are food banks that can't give enough health checks still need to be done
more often than normal. Please study this link to learn more about Eating
Disorders.
There could be all kinds of reasons why a lot of people with
disabilities and health problems could find it hard to access food and exercise
in a healthy way. A lot of it comes down to cost and support these days with
the cuts and not all benefits pay enough for people have their needs met even
though the government says the benefits are for that purpose but shocking how
fast money goes for most people by the time they have paid bills and that. Just
to make it clear that some people may be luckier than others in
different ways but in today's world in Britain as a whole the government is not
making easy for to access their lives and it's the most vulnerable and
poor people it's hitting most.
For some people there may not be any healthy foods they like. In
most shops they can make the healthy food more costly than the unhealthy food.
Most shops that sell healthy food at a less costly price could be too
further afield for most people with disabilities and health problems
to travel, some people may have transport problems in different ways, which
could make it hard for them in different ways but it's not necessary a problem
for everyone as some people can travel more independent than others.
Some may need more support than others. For a lot of people it could be
more a problems for those who have had their benefits cut or and stopped.
Although there certain disability aids to support people to do
things like cooking yet again most disability aids can be rather costly
for most people, which can be a problem for most people if they can't get
support as much as they used to or not at all.
Some people may suffer from Food Allergies which I don't know
anything about because lucky I don't face them but all the same here's a link you
could from http://www.disabled-world.com/health/intolerance-allergies/
Learn about Diabetes, which I need to be learning myself about
because I don’t have the condition but I do know that people have to wait their
diet. There’s two types of Diabetes type 1 and 2, I think 1 is sugar Diabetes
and the other is non sugar Diabetes and their weight I think needs to be kept
an eye 1 way or the other either under or over weight, which either one could
be type 1 or type 2.
Type 2 Diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes normally happens before the age of 40.
It can be treated by injections.
The person needs a healthy diet.
The person will need the toilet a lot.
The person will be tired a lot.
The person won’t see well.
Again for health and safety reasons always check with the person
to see how they would find information to read.
What is Diabetes?
Our bodies have different parts to keep us healthy.
Food and drink go to our stomach to give us energy.
There’s a part in our body called the Pancreas, this helps the
food be more useful to our bodies. The Pancreas also makes insulin that help
balance the sugar from our food in the body and blood.
Introduction
to Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects the brain and nervous
system.
It is caused by damage to the brain.
The damage to the brain generally happens during or soon after a
baby is born.
1 in 400 children are affected by cerebral palsy.
There are many different symptoms of
cerebral palsy.
The symptoms become clear in the first
3 years of a child’s life.
Some of the symptoms are:
·
slow development, like learning to
crawl, walk or speak
·
epilepsy
·
learning difficulties
·
incontinence
·
visual impairment
·
hearing impairment
·
curved spine
·
difficulties in speaking
Cerebral palsy is spotted when you are
a child.
If you have a child with the symptoms
of cerebral palsy the doctor will ask you about their development.
The doctor will also look at how your
child moves.
Other test might be needed to find out
if your child has cerebral palsy.
The tests are:
·
blood tests
·
brain tests called an MRI scan and CT
scan
Most cases of cerebral palsy cannot be
prevented.
If you are pregnant you can do things
to stop birth problems occurring.
These are:
·
going to all your medical checkups
during pregnancy
·
avoid drinking alcohol
·
avoid smoking
·
take regular exercise and eat a healthy
diet
·
make sure your vaccinations are up to
date
An individual care plan will be set up
for a child that has cerebral palsy.
The plan will be looked at when the
child gets older.
If the needs of the child changes.
The child will be given a key worker. A
key worker is a person that arranges the support services for the child.
There is a wide range of treatment for
cerebral palsy.
Some of the treatment includes:
·
speech and language therapy
·
help for muscle problems, this is called
physiotherapy.
·
help to move around and do daily tasks,
this is called
·
occupational therapy
·
tablets that relax the muscles
Introduction to Dyspraxia.
This the 2nd time I have updated Dyspraxia report that I wrote back In August 2012, yes I know this doesn't have anything
to do with benefit cuts and appeals guys but I thought this will help you
towards other areas of your students and work. Without bragging I started
writing this website back in 2007 and this report has had the highest amount of
viewers round 51 or more so hopefully what you learn here will help you a lot.
I have copped it on here so you won't have far to find.
Dyspraxia
is more of a learning difficulty than a learning disability and it's very hard for people with Dyspraxia to proof to others we have Dyspraxia because it's hidden pyscial disability in fact learning difficulty. Dyspraxia is a
learning difficulty with movement. Dyspraxia is much a hidden learning
difficulty where the person can walk and talk just like other people but they
could have a very mild speech problem.
It
can be cause from a very mild brain damage at the birth but there could be
other causes to Dyspraxia too. It depends which side of the brain is mildly
damage the left or right, it will make a person’s one side of the body weaker
than the other.
I
can only speak for myself but I have no idea whether or not would be possible
for Dyspraxia affect both side of the body but if both sides of the both are
affected I guess it is possible. For me my right arm and hand is stronger than
my left but I have found medications have made me weaker and shaky.
Dyspraxia
can be linked to other disabilities such as Autism Spectrum, Dyslexia, ADHD
and Dyscalculia.
There’s
not much difference between Dyspraxia and Dyslexia. Dyslexia is classed as a
mental learning disability whereas Dyspraxia is classed as physical and mental.
People with Dyspraxia can face reading, writing and maths difficulties and
disabilities but that doesn't necessary mean they can
do reading, writing and maths, they just see things the wrong way round
even miss things out. Dyscalculia is a maths disability.
On
the physical side with Dyspraxia people can have problems with.
Dyspraxia
isn't new a learning difficulty but it's it is new as far awareness is
curtained so please learn more online about Dyspraxia. Dyspraxia has always
been misunderstood because of it been a very hidden learning difficulty
therefore such people born before 21st century wouldn't have got the
support they should have had, in fact by a guess Dyspraxia awareness have been
only going on about ten years. People before about ten years ago
wouldn't have been diagnosed because no one knew about Dyslexia. For
example it may be possible that I
may have been born
with Dyspraxia nearly forty - six years ago because I have always had grip and
motor skills problems but I could have had mixed of plenty of people in my life
who faced the same problems but not known and the same for them with me. As
child, teenager and young adult I felt useless, helpless and clumsy and
never understood why I was like I was and others thought of me the same, which
didn't make me feel very confident about myself. Now I know awareness is
starting I am feeling less alone and more confident so let's learn more and
raise more awareness so others start to feel more confident
about them!
More about
Dyspraxia.
Dyspraxia is a
hard disability and mental problem to explain and understand.
Many people have already lived
with Dyspraxia our lives being misunderstood and being told that we are a danger to society. The world understands that the world can know everything right away. No one is blaming anyone but if Dyspraxia was understood many years, we may have had the right support and may not have been classed health hazards and useless people. This disability has caused us to be made to feel guilty for things we can't help and also caused us be hated by the world. We understand it's understandable in one way for the health and safety of others but not the fault on purpose of the people who have the disabilities. The awareness is good but all very well to raise when there's not the money in the world to support it. One thing is raising understanding of Dyspraxia so we can be at least understood for what our disability is about.

One thing is raising understanding of Dyspraxia so we can be at least understood for what our disability is about.
Dyspraxia is when
people are unaware of the world around them. It's too easy to not look where
you’re going, bang into things and people around you. People with Dyspraxia can
find physical and mental skills hard. Dyspraxia is mostly misunderstood as
been a danger to society, which you are but with the right support you can get
by in life.
The reason for Dyspraxia being misunderstood is because it's a hidden disability. Yet with Dyspraxia being a lot to do with the body and brain, even though it's hidden because people can walk and talk it's more major than those disabilities that need 24 hour care in everything. Advantage is that people with Dyspraxia have the ability though to ask for help if we need it. There's just a wide circle of skills we find hard. The cause of being misunderstood is the fact we can walk and talk so people think we can manage our lives the same as them. Dyspraxia is a Motor skills and co -orations disability but it is also can be a reading and writing disability not much different to dyslexic a.

For eg; a baby may
find it hard to roll over, take longer to stand up and balance, walking,
climbing, slower to talk and be understood.
Exercise may be
harder to access, some people may only manage swimming, exercise or and even
horse riding. Some people may not manage to ride a real bike. Some people may
find it hard to hop, jump, run fast and even skip. Some people may find it hard
to throw and catch a ball. Some people may find it hard to stand for a long
time.
Children may be slower to walk up and down stairs safety without support. There are some stairs even adults and teenagers may not be able to manage without support. Some stairs can be harder for some people to manage than others. Some people find it hard to dress, tie shoe laces and etc.
For most of us it can affect our lives with not being able to drive a car and not being able to have children because of carrying and lifting. As time goes on support get's better in some ways but not in others. On the other hands with the cuts the government is making it's hard to say what the future is.

DIAGNOSIS OF DYSPRAXIA
Assessments for
dyspraxia typically require a developmental history, detailing ages at which
significant developmental milestones, such as crawling and walking, occurred.
Motor skills screening includes activities designed to indicate dyspraxia,
including balancing, physical sequencing, touch sensitivity, and variations on
walking activities. There are six main areas of difficulty which can be
profiled within dyspraxia; the four main areas are listed below:
Speech and language
• Difficulties
controlling the speech organs.
• Difficulties making speech sounds
• Difficulty sequencing sounds
• Difficulty controlling breathing and phonation
• Slow language development
• Difficulty with feeding.
• Difficulties making speech sounds
• Difficulty sequencing sounds
• Difficulty controlling breathing and phonation
• Slow language development
• Difficulty with feeding.
Fine motor control
• Problems with
handwriting, which may be due to either ideational or video-motor difficulties
• Learning basic movement patterns in writing
• Establishing the correct pencil grip
• Hand aching while writing.
• Learning basic movement patterns in writing
• Establishing the correct pencil grip
• Hand aching while writing.
Whole body movement, coordination, and body
image
• Issues with
walking, running, climbing and jumping
• Poor timing
• Poor balance
• Difficulty combining movements into a controlled sequence.
• Difficulty remembering the next movement in a sequence.
• Poor timing
• Poor balance
• Difficulty combining movements into a controlled sequence.
• Difficulty remembering the next movement in a sequence.
·
Physical
play
• Physical play
• Mistiming when catching
• Difficulty in using scissors
• Problems with dressing and feeding.

·
Some skills we
just never manage but others we manage for life.
·
We may get
frustrated and angry easy.
·
We just might give
up if people give up on us too easy.
·
We may be stressed
and anxious easy.
·
We may feel low in
our self esteem.
·
We may get upset
easy.
Other
awareness’s of the disability.
Some
people with Dyspraxia have flat feet but I also have wide feet. I have really
bad problems getting shoes to fit me. Some people even find it hard to type and
grip the mouse on a computer. My problem can be I type so fast I don't notice
my spelling mistakes and the words I have missed out of sentences. Some
people find it hard to plan things. Some of us have poor relocating cannot
look quickly and effectively from one object to other, looking
from the television to magazine.
Although there seems be a lot of things that we find hard, there are some things that get better through our lives. I still remember as a child finding it hard for a lot years cutting meat up with a knife and fork. In some cases, if someone is on some medications the side effects can make life even harder for them. If you have a lot of problems with hands, some medications can make than worse, which make some people shake. Not everyone finds the same things hard and not everyone finds the same things easy. I even find with some things I just have good days and bad. Strangely in some things there are some weaknesses that can turn into confidences because with this being a life time disability you become used to what you can and can't cope. The fact that we are keen, willing people because we find so many things hard we don't give up until we achieve what we want to. Sometimes though society gives up on us. To start with it may seem hard to believe that there are positives in Dyspraxia but it's takes a long time to believe in that, your disability and most of all yourself. You can find so many things hard yet it's to believe the bad as well as the good because you don't appear to strangers to have disabilities.
Our lives aren't
all black and white there are positives about us yet some are from the things
we do find hard.
·
Some things that
we may see different to other people can be right.
·
We find it easy to
get along with people if they understand us and we understand them.
·
People need to
give themselves time and us time to get to know one another.
·
We can be carrying
people who need support as much or if not more than us.
·
We have powerful
and creative imagination in our day dreams.
·
We are very keen
learners despite of finding learning hard, nothing stops us.
·
We have good long
term memories.
·
We can create for
eg; creative writing art painting and drawing.
Dyslexia is hidden a physical disability.
The causes of
Dyspraxia.
As far as I know
Dyspraxia is cause by lack of orgxen to the brain at birth or when a baby is
born too early. I think this can be linked to epilepsy or and a stroke. I think
are many other causes of Dyspraxia.
Different forms of Dyspraxia.
It sounds as if the world has a lot to learn about Dyspraxia, which is hardly surprising as it's a hard disability to understand and explain. Just because I am Dyspraxia, doesn't mean I know everything about it. In my respects the world knows more than me. What I do know is how it has affected my life. I am glad to say now it has opened up now. There may have been thousands of children in my school, I would have been aware but I doubt it. I know what it's like to feel so alone even though you are more than likely not. Bullying never seems to stop because you look and or seem different to other children. Even by adults you’re so misunderstood because quite rightly even adult expects to see a normal child, whatever normal is at the end of the day. Putting yourself in the shoes of parents, life can be a jigsaw puzzle for them when their child is slow at learning or and they know what their disabilities and health problems are.
Movements are to do with Motor skills, Co-orations and balance. For eg; opening a tin with a can opener.
Language is speech how we sound, make ourselves understood and misunderstood mostly the cases are.
Perception is Understanding and or misunderstanding others, messages, world around us and etc.
It's more likely possible to have all of those forms of Dyspraxia as I have found all those things hard through my life. Having said that when you have a good many other disabilities it can be hard to say what causes what. For eg; I could either Asperger Syndrome or and ADHD, Dyslexia, Epilepsy as well as Dyspraxia. It could have been one form of Dyspraxia, two or all three. I know what I read about Dyspraxia sounds like me.
Sometimes when I am speaking I find it hard to sallow when I speak therefore no understands me. I have always had problems with my tongue, teeth and lips which goes very dry as skin becomes loose. Even though I feed myself, I'm still very messy eater. As a very small child I found very hard grip a knife and fork I think food used to go everywhere other than my mouth over the floor everywhere, although I don't see how I've always loved my food too much and ate too much.
Some words I may say may not come out correct but may not be far off, otherwise I'm well misunderstood. Sometimes I may talk too quiet in case I don't sound like how I want to sound like. Yet when I am sure of myself it works opposite I can be too loud.

Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry Potter, David Bailey who takes pictures, Florence Welch, Hannah McDonnell actor, Helen Burns character out of Jane Eyre, Samuel Taylor Coleridge poet, CK Chester, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, and George Orwell writer.

Introduction of
Autism.
What is Autism?
Autism is a long life disability that affects
different people in different ways mainly when it comes to communication. Most
people with Autism find the world an even bigger place than what it really is,
mainly when there’s a lot of people and a lot of busy places; this is when
Autism can link to Anxiety.
Socializing,
communicating and joining in with people.
A lot of people with Autism find it hard to
cope with facial expression, jokes, sarcasm like break a leg, common phases
cool which may mean good to you but cold to them.
It’s possible I may have lived with Autism
for nearly forty-six years since birth but not been diagnosed. Whatever my
disabilities and health problems are they have made me the person I am today. A
lot of these things I am going to write about I have faced and overcome,
others I have never faced and hopefully never will.
The disabilities and health problems I have I
face for life like it is for Autism.
I am going to write down the signs and
symptoms of Autism. Just because a person may not face all of them
that doesn't mean I don’t have Autism. It’s hard to know how
many of these signs and symptoms you have got to have to know whether you have
Autism or not, which is down to a Specialist to know.
This kind of behavior can be misunderstood
for someone not being a very nice person but then hard to tell whose behavior is on purpose and who's not. The behavior of people with Autism may appear odd
to other people. People with Autism very are unaware of how they appear to
others but then feel guilty and ashamed if and when others tell what’s
happened, this also
is rather embarrassing for them as well.

· As a baby most people may be slow at
talking or they don’t say enough compared to other children.
· They may not respond to their name.
· They may reject cuddles.
· They may be in their own world.
· They may find it hard to communicate
with others around.
· Having too many people around them may
be too much for them, which Anxiety could be linked as well, they may feel as
since of panic but you don't have Autism to have that kind of
Anxiety.
· They may not be safe
out alone until at least after leaving school age, they may have
no sense of direction and unaware of others around them, traffic and etc,
Anxiety could link into this as well.
· They may not like others entering
their space but they may enter the space of others, Autism is a sense self
meaning they are unaware of others and things around them.
· Not seeming to enjoy being with others
but not seeming to be alone either.
· They may find it hard to fit in what
others are talking about.
· Others may tend to leave them out of
their company.
· How people with Autism may say
something might be upsetting to others but not mean to be.
· There are certain behaviours that
others can laugh at but the person Autism may feel hurt or and bullied.
· Some people with Autism can be easily
led, for eg; if someone said to them go and take a run and jump, they may will
because they may feel bullied by the person who said it.
· The way you say something very
important to how you say it to people with Autism for eg; if they are in
hospital and you say wait outside, they may wait outside instead of the waiting
room.
· Facial expression, they may stare at
people when not needing to but not being aware they yet they may not like the
way some people may look at them, which could make them nervous, scared or even
shy. Due to the fact that the way they are appears odd to others but it doesn’t
mean everyone doesn’t accept the way they are but then it gives the person with
Autism that fear because they face it so much in their lives.
· They may avoid eyes contact
meaning if they have to look at you they find it hard to do but they may stare
at you when you don’t want them to without being aware of how people see their
behaviour. Very they are not aware of how they behave.
· They may rock, flop their hands and
ever flick fingers.
· They may stick to a certain route for
a long period of which they may or not change but if they do, it will in their
time they will change it then the same will go again with another route, which
will go on all their lives.
· They may be fussy about toys for
example, colours, texture, style, size and etc.
· The same with food, colour, taste,
texture and etc but it’s not in everyone, even people without Autism can be
like that.
· They may find it hard to share for eg;
they may go off the topic others are talking about and find it hard to share
things with others.
· They may find it hard communicate in
the way others do with each other.
· They may behave in an unimaginative
way but others have got a good imaginative. Most People who have Autism play on
their own which imaginative some even grow to be fiction writers.
· Many may be slow at having an interest
due to comprehensive problems and memory, if they face this
problem they also could have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or both.

Depression awareness.
·
Depression is a feeling of sadness.
·
A loss of energy the person doesn’t have any
get up and go.
·
With another person there’s no stop in them
but other people could be different day to day.
·
Some people can’t cope without anything
happening in their lives.
·
Some people could over eat.
·
Others may not eat enough but others could
vary from day to day.
·
Others lose interest in lives but others vary
day to day.
·
Most people with Depression guilty, shameful,
guilty, hopeless, and helpless and as if they are doing something wrong all the
while.
·
Most
people with disabilities and health problems feel they are made to feel like a
Burton because society tends to see us as hard work and costing too much money.
Anxiety is a feeling of worry and even anger whether we have a
reason to feel that way or not. We all worry about something or someone one
time or the other but it’s more of a worry for those of us who worry a lot. To
worry about an exam, driving lesson or test and or etc is normal for everyone.
There are at least five forms of
Anxiety.
· Panic disorder
· Phobias
· Post- traumatic stress disorder.
· Social Anxiety disorder (social
phobia)
· General Anxiety, which is all the
Anxieties all in one
Anxiety can be mostly linked to
Depression.
Is or can Anxiety and Depression be a
birth to life time health problem?
What is depression and Anxiety?
What is depression?
• Stress is the biggest killer of all,
which can give us Anxiety a sense of worrying, panicking and anger.
• The purpose of this powerpoint is to
raise awareness of Anxiety, stress and Depression.
• Mental health awareness needs to be
raised all year round not just once a year.
• The way the Tory government has
treated people for the last six years is enough to make the most poor and most vulnerable depressed.
• In February we had mental Health
and Depression week.
• We all know that Depression is a
mental health and it needs to be understood.
• We feel sad and angrily.
• There are other Mental Health problems
like Anxiety and stress.
Therefore without knowing we all could suffer from Anxiety,
Depression and stress at anytime, anyplace and anywhere.
- • Understanding Anxiety and depression.
• Depression and Anxiety is a feeling of
sadness and anger whether you have a reason to feel depressed or not.
• Depression and Anxiety makes you
feel alone whether you are or not.
• You are not alone if you mix
with others who suffer from Anxiety and Depression but raise more understanding
to those who don’t suffer from it.
• We shouldn’t make a person with
Depression feel bad if they feel sad for no reason.
• No one should be made to
feel bad about them.
We can be so easily be misunderstood by others for
someone we are not.
This is because depression is a hidden mental health
problem.
Signs and symptoms of depression.

sleep or you sleep too much

· Everyone in the world has faults we
are all to blame for something but not everything but then having disabilities
and health problems doesn’t help or excuse us for and with everything either.
· We may not always be aware
of the way we may say or and do things to how it may sound to others.
· This can make us misunderstood.
·
· Others may find it hard to
understand if you are feeling down for no reason.
· If we have depression it’s part
of us whether we like it or not. Naturally those without Depression don’t
understand us.
·
· Most of us may find it easy to
be alone so others don’t misunderstand them and don’t make them feel bad about
ourselves.
How can depression be understood?
Never Say health
problems are all negative, there are famous and talented people with health
problems even or and disabilities.
When I say depression is a feeling of sadness it doesn’t
mean we always showing sadness.
A lot of
comedy famous actors who make us laugh suffer from Depression as well.
· A lot of people find it hard to
understand how people who can make us laugh can feel so sad.
· Robin Williams took his own life in
2014 last year.
· People with Anxiety and Depression
have to hide so much of everything it’s the easiest way for us to cope without
being misunderstood.
· It doesn’t mean that everyone with
Anxiety and Depression despite of how hard it is there are most people who can
fight it.
· That doesn’t make people who have
taken their own life as losers.
· Society is a loser because of the way
it treats and misunderstands us.
People with Anxiety and Depression have a fight with our
minds because we don’t stop thinking.
It takes a long fight with the mind for us to be
truly happy.
For others life is too much to stay alive.
For most of us we don’t know our strength, we are strong
than we think.
Crises like broken down relationships or the death of
someone a person knows can play a big part on someone’s Anxiety and Depression.
· These things happen to everyone but
everyone deals with it in different ways.
· I even found for years after my last
relationship broke up I put the blame to all myself.
· I wondered whether or not I did or
said anything I was unaware of that seemed wrong unfair to him, even though he
was just as bad.
· In nearly eight years of our break
after 13 and half years I have had at least six lots of counselling.
· I am pleased to say now I had four
sessions left, which I have cancelled due to my work and my new partner I don’t
them.
· Now I am all for helping other who is
going through not much different to me.
It's turns out my last counsellor said I was suffering from
Mental abuse from my ex partner who made feel as if everything was my fault yet
he could never make up his mind what he wanted.
· How does your counselling work
out for you?
I must admit I have not had a bad experience with counselling but there are lots of people who have.
I must admit I have not had a bad experience with counselling but there are lots of people who have.
· There's a big certain that one day but
then may be not that the government may cut the funding on these counselling
services.
· Due to the fact GPs are not trained in
mental health, counsellors, Health centres and hospitals have their work cut
out.
· People with mental health problems once
something is on the mind it’s on the mind until it is sorted.
· This is one of the reasons why we
should be trying harder to save the NHS.
· Due to my work I hadn’t got time to
attend my next four counselling sessions so they sent me a feedback form.
I wrote to my counsellor to thank her.
· She made me aware that I
suffered Mental abuse with my ex partner for 13 and a half years and for a fair
few years after we split for good, which had played a lot on my
Anxiety and depression.
The last counselling service I used to go had they are
having changes in their funding for counselling.
I had told my counsellor that I am a learning disability
and mental health awareness trainer.
· I wrote to my counsellor to tell her
counselling is needed mainly for vulnerable people who have gone through rape or
and abuse.
· There are certain issues that
vulnerable people find hard to overcome compared to other people.
I used to
wish I wasn’t born.
· My ex made me feel as if everything
was my entire fault.
· I had to stop putting all the
blame on me.
· I use to blame myself a lot.
No one is perfect but no one can be blame for everything.
Just because you see someone smiles doesn’t mean we
are happy, this is our way of fighting our health problems.
We don’t show sadness all the while because learn to live
with our health problems.
Most of us have good days and bad days like other people.
It can be a long fight with the mind for someone with
Anxiety and Depression to make them truly happy.
If we all went along with long faces all the time none of
us would get through our health problems.
People who suffer from Anxiety and Depression aren’t all
negative all the time.
Every day and night is a fight with the mind for people with
mental health problems.
We do our best to be strong minded people.
· Society is weak by not having any
faith in us by trying to make us.
· We shouldn’t have to be negative all
the while to prove we have health problems.
· Society fails to understand us.
Inside our smiling faces we feel sad but not
necessary all the while.
Different people who have Anxiety and Depression and other
health problems are affected in different ways.
The same goes for confidence and self – esteem.
Some people can’t bear to not going to work or college where
at others like to say at home.
For a least the last six years, there has been a lot
of job losses due to the credit crunch.
Anxiety and Depression affects you on and off through your
life, it’s more stress because it’s there for you long term.
We mustn’t let the government beat us despite of how hard
they make life for us.
Different people cope with life in different ways.
GPs are not trained to do a lot of work but they are
doing more hours than what they are trained for.
People with disabilities and health problems have been
having health checkups since 2008.
· Not all surreys do health checkups.
· Not all surveys that do checkups do
full health checkups.
· They say there’s not enough funding
but it doesn’t make sense to why GPs are working a lot of hours.
It's a huge certain that Gaps are not trained to treat
Mental health problems this is why they referral patients to Counselling
services and clinics.
Patients who have lost their benefits can’t get
counselling because benefits pay for counselling.
· This is a huge worry because if they
lose their benefits there’s more of a need for counselling.
· Everyone who has Mental Health
problems have different ways of managing our Mental Health for example many
people with.

· Funding needs to keep coming for
Mental Health services.
· How long is going to be until the
government make cuts on the counselling services to a point even people on
benefits can access counselling?
· I find working helps me
manage my Anxiety and Depression better so do many others like me.
· You can only work a certain amount
hours on top of benefits but it’s better than doing nothing all.
· Other people may find working makes
their Anxiety and Depression worse.
· People with disabilities and health
problems can be talented.

I will be honest to say the Mental Health Awareness wasn't just February but it was all of the month. Even though it's now March, all awareness is necessary to rise when it comes to people needing to be understood when they have problems that others don't understand. For example Dementia which I don't know a lot about myself but I know it can happen to all kinds of people. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=103

· The stress of the benefit cuts are
making people with disabilities and health problems unwell.
· Many people have had suicidal thoughts
and many have taken their own lives.
· When people have had their benefits
cut there's no money for counselling for those who really need it.
· With the cuts the government has made
it's surprising there are some Counselling services open but for how long for,
even for those who haven't lost their benefits.

ADHD
and ADD.
When I was a child I was hyperactive
it’s possible it was cause by the side - effects of medication, which was
Phenobarbital that was for my Epilepsy. I could never sleep or pay attention in
school and I was always in a world of my own. My long term memory was alright
but short term wasn’t but I am not much different now. When I came off the
tablet there were quite a lot of changes but there are also quite a of things
about me that are still the same.

forget things, forget what others have said to them, find it hard to remember
what they have read, find it hard to take in information and misunderstand.

What
is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a lot more a serious health condition
than what a lot of people think, which is hardy surprise to how strangely
confusing it can be if comes and goes. Epilepsy is one of these health conditions
to those who suffer from it different people can face different experiences
from the health condition.
I myself was
born with the condition I had seizures from birth to the age of 12 them 31 to
43 and I haven’t had a seizure 2 years. Just because a person hasn’t had a seizure
for a period of time that doesn’t mean they don’t have Epilepsy because it’s
unknown whether or not if they will have a seizure again.
If they are
born with the condition like I was there’s a fair big chance the seizures could
come back at any time. When my seizures stopped the age of 12 I built my hopes
to think they would never come back again, I don’t built my hopes up this time
round. The link I have sent at the bottom of this report, there is a new report
I got off Face book about a 51 year old woman who hadn’t had a seizure for 20
years then suddenly died in the bath from having a seizure.
I have put another link about Epilepsy isn’t
unknown anymore but it is unknown when so many people have been having so many
scans and they have been coming back normal and people are still have seizures,
which has happened to myself long before now.

is Anxiety?
Anxiety is known as a Panic Disorder, which is a
sense of panic and fear. Panic Disorder Compulsive Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress. http://www.disabled-world.com/health/neurology/phobias/anxiety-panic.php
