Charlie Blotner: Ah-Ha! moments in mental health and chronic disease management

diseases No Comments »

Featuring panelists Sarah E. Kucharski, Mark Freeman, Danielle Edges, and Allison Ferlito.

Mental health and chronic disease management are often interwoven topics in science. But what about the human side of the story? Whether or not individuals meet the diagnostic criteria for mental diagnoses, we all long for optimal mental and physical health to attain good quality of life.

How do we put a personal face to the feelings that hypoglycemia, or chronic pain, or other physical health struggles invoke in terms of our emotions? What moments have changed the way we think about mental health and chronic disease, and how can we encourage these same poignant healthcare interactions in the lives of others?

This panel explores just how vital this conversation is in chronic disease and mental health management by featuring multifaceted patient, caregiver, and mental health advocate perspectives. In order to facilitate this conversation for all patients, we must raise the topic from the very source: ePatients themselves. Therefore, this panel is ePatient-centric in its selection of presenters. We will identify crucial learning moments in understanding our own mental health, while promoting a transparent discussion that remains much-needed in humanizing healthcare.

Ah-Ha! moments relevant to the following topics will be discussed:
– Why the words we use matter so much
– Barriers to care
– Continuum of “before, during, and after” mental health becomes a focus of care management; early intervention in normalizing this conversation
– Caregiver resources and how to talk to children/teens about difficult health topics
– Managing multiple diagnoses
– Curtailing advocacy “burnout”
– The panel would also be open to answering audience questions, time-permitting.

Eye Diseases | 3 Common Eye Conditions

Eye doctors, examine patients for a wide variety of possible eye conditions, and diseases. These can range from the extremely rare, to those more commonly observed. In this video let’s examine some of the most common eye diseases, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

Cataracts
Cataracts, is an eye condition commonly found in adults 40 years of age or older, impacting approximately 20% of this demographic. This particular eye condition, is usually expressed by the clouding of the natural crystalline lens within the eye. The phenomenon is basically caused by the aging of the protein content in the lens. Some of the symptoms related to cataracts may include sensitivity to light, experiencing blurry or cloudy vision, and increased difficulty seeing at night.

Cataracts can develop due to:
a genetic predisposition.
physical eye injury or trauma.
or due to certain medical disorders such as diabetes.

Depending on the severity of individual cases a person can opt to traet the condition through.
The use if corrective lenses.
special eye drops, to help remove any protein build up on the eye’s natural lens.
or undergo a surgical procedure, to replace the cloudy natural lens, with a clear artificial lens.

Another common disease is, Macular Degeneration.
This eye condition, is defined as the deterioration of the retina, and is the leading cause of vision loss. An individual, with this eye condition, may experience, blurry vision, and loss of the central, or peripheral vision.

Little is understood, or known about the causes behind this disorder, however, the most important risk factors seem to be:
age related.
race.
genetics.
and smoking.

Although there are currently no treatments available, for macular degeneration, a person can decrease risk by:
following a healthy diet.
exercising.
and not smoking.

The last disease we will discuss is Glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a disease that directly damages the optic nerve. Eye pressure build up, within the eye, is the most common offender in causing the damage.

This eye condition, is very serious, and can cause the loss of:
peripheral vision.
tunnel vision.
deterioration of the central vision.
or even complete blindness.

However, if the condition is diagnosed in time, there are several common treatments that are available, including.
eye drops.
pills.
and surgery.

The existence of an association between EDS, dysautonomia (esp. POTS), and mast cell activation syndrome has been recently proposed. Its existence is controversial. Unfortunately, most of the relevant scientific literature is behind a paywell, but here are a few papers which are not:
