Avatar f tn Hi, cognitive impairment is related with learning disabilities. Mild cognitive impairment is a syndrome defined as cognitive decline greater than expected for an individual's age and education level but that does not interfere notably with activities of daily life. It is usually associated with organic diseases rather than drugs. For what patient is taking these 2 drugs?
Avatar f tn ve mentioned could be an indication of dyslexia but dyslexia is often found in any number of disabilities. Though dyslexia makes learning to read, write and spell more difficult, their IQ is usually no different to anyone elses. You can be gifted and still be dyslexic. If your mother was born with a low IQ or sustained an acquired brain injury in her childhood, that could account for her child like behavior, first is inheritable the latter, not.
Avatar f tn Yes with most psychiatric disabilities medication is needed but all psychiatric disabilities (as well as people who don't have them) respond to psychotherapy as well and medication and talk therapy work together as even if a person has episodes that require treatment, as not everything that occurs in life that stresses them out or worsens their primary disability is a symptom.
Avatar f tn I started school online and I want to drop out cus its too much on me and I have 2 learning disabilities. I just cant take it anymore not that I would kill my self but I just want to run away from all my problems but I know thats not the answer. Look at my cousins and friends who have their own place, married and have kids and its like when am I going to have that or what did I do to deserve this. I am stuck at home all day pretty much 7 days a week and its driving me crazy.
Avatar m tn I am having a hard time learning new material, processing what I read, have terrible working memory/memory issues, have a hard time learning concepts/big picture of what I am actually trying to learn about and connecting what I am reading to how it applies to the concept. I read things slowly over and over, then when I do understand it I forget it. maybe 1-2 days a week I have a day where I believe my brain is functioning like a normal persons, Even my diet has an effect on my brain functioning.
Avatar f tn The types of things to consider are family histories of developmental delay, depression and mental illness, learning disorder or disabilities including dyslexia, OCD, ADHD, self harm, eating disorders etc. Unfortunately, or fortunately, none of us can meet our future children and experience them before we decided whether to have them or not.
Avatar m tn Ah, sweetie, it's hard. But you some women actually are on a low dose pain killer during pregnancy prescribed by their doctor. It is always best to be up front with your doctor but am sure you are a little afraid of this. I'm going to guess that your baby will be okay but what are you going to do to fight addiction once baby arrives? Being mama means you have to be fully present and I know its stressful so thinking about these things now may help you. Do you have any support?
Avatar f tn He also has a disassociation with learning by reading, unless the papers are read to him he does not retain his learning. At the age of 12 he was hospitalized for Bi Polarism, it was a horrible time in our household, this is when they saw he suffered from Schizophrenia affecta. As the years go by, things increasingly get worse, he cannot live alone, lives in a fantasy world. I've contacted the makers of bendectin and was told "It's not related".
Avatar m tn Well, yes, any injury to the brain can result in learning disabilities. It depends on the extent of injury and the area of brain affected. If you suspect this, then even after all these years a MRI of the brain should be done to confirm there is old injury. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined by a neuropsychologist to assess the cause of your learning disability. Take care!
Avatar f tn However, given that some children with language delays may have specific language based learning disabilities, its best to watch her progress closely. Language based learning disabilities impact reading and writing, and may interfere with mathematics and science in later grades. There's a terrific website called ldonline.org that will provide you with detailed information about speech and learning disabilities as well as recommendations for best practices in instruction.
Avatar m tn iodine deficiency causes depression-depression is a symptom of underactive thyroid but you need to reach a certain threshold to be treated. honestly take kelp or lugols iodine.
Avatar f tn So let me fill you in, I am a 18 year old male student doing my 5th year in highschool. I never made enough credits my freshmen through senior year because of learning disabilities revolved around anxiety and depression. I often missed school due to being hospitalized and day treatment programs for my self harm and depression and anxiety. I am trying my best to work at getting my highschool certificate but my mental health has been getting in the way.
Avatar f tn You deal with disrespect and failing grades(perhaps due to family situations) one way. You deal with disrespect and failing grades due to learning disabilities in an entirely different way. It probably would be worth your time to read up on ADD/ADHD. A book I recommend a lot of the ADHD forum is "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. Besides giving you lots of info on it, symptoms of it, how to deal with it - it also shows ways that the schools can help.
630047 tn?1289248521 A good place to start is to find your local independent living center that are run by people with disabilities for people with disabilities (and although not medical model are pro-treatment and can work with providers as needed). Here's a link for a start: http://www.ilusa.com/links/ilcenters.
Avatar f tn One psychiatrist several years ago said he was depressed and wanted to put him on antidepressants. At the time I felt he was too young. He also seems slow at learning things but once he does he retains the information. He was tested by a child psychologist who said he had "executive function" issues. He is currently in junior high and not doing well socially. He is struggling and this is causing more issues.
Avatar f tn The school is not doing this as a punishment. They are doing it to help him. If he qualifies for the help, an early intervention is extremely important. Listen to what they have to say with an open mind. You will always have a choice of him being in the program or not. Being labeled as being in special eduction does not carry the stigma it once did. Furthermore, there are many laws now which protect the child. It costs a school district money for any child in a special ed.
Avatar f tn So lactation is not advised in patients continuing the drug during pregnancy.It causes immaturity,lactation disabilities.
Avatar f tn I was told I had learning disabilities since fourth grade. In college the testers had problems pinpointing the disabilities. I only realized it might not be learning disability after all when I found out about the chiari.

Avatar m tn Trouble with concentration (and sometime memory) in younger people can have other causes. One that comes to mind is low thyroid function, what is called hypothyroidism. Low thyroid function causes fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, and memory/concentration problems in addition to several other symptoms. Another possibility is anemia, which can cause severe fatigue and thinking trouble. In addition, other causes include certain vitamin deficiencies.
Avatar f tn What symptoms do you have and what causes your anxiety if you know? I personally take meds for Fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. I get panic attacks. And yes I take Xanax. It is addictive that may be the reason your PA is reluctant to prescribe it. Unfortunately is it abused by many, mostly people who actually don't need it. But if you do, it has worked wonders, I have been taking it for about 9 years. I probably had one panic attack since I started this med.
Avatar f tn That is one of many symptoms, but alone is not an indicator or disagnosis of major depression.
Avatar f tn I do not know if this is your problem, but I do know of several children who were diagnosed with learning disabilities when, in fact, they suffered from severe anxiety. The anxiety prevented the child from learning and only the lessening of the anxiety did the child begin to "learn" in school. This can take several months or even years. I write this so that even if diagnosed with a "learning disability", you may not have "found the correct answer".
539694 tn?1434565947 children, adults, learning disabilities, autism, mental health, addiction, paralysis, dementia etc. I've never really worked with under 5's but it's something that I've always wanted to do but partly never pursued it because I'm a young adult male and that amount of abuse and discrimination male nursery nurses have faced is a bit ridiculous.
Avatar f tn In Texas, children who have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD or any type of emotional or behavioral problems that may hinder their learning can fall under 504. This means they can not find any learning disabilities, but they still have to make accomodations. I would highly recommend that your psychologist attend this meeting. Here, we also have a small private school for students with learning disabilities. They welcome students like your daughter. I wonder if there is anything in your area.
