One type of hero offered a helping hand to another brand of hero Sunday at Fort Carson, when four former NFL players visited with troops to help spread the word about a support program for soldiers. The program, called the Real Warriors Campaign, provides free support services to troops who are suffering from depression, post- traumatic stress disorder, adjustment to civilian life and any other issues they face from serving in the military. The program's message: Pain shouldn't be suffered silently.
Depressive disorders, which include major depressive disorder (unipolar depression), dysthymic disorder (chronic, mild depression), and bipolar disorder (manic-depression), can have far reaching effects on the functioning and adjustment of young people. Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved; in adolescents there is also an increased risk for substance abuse and suicidal behavior. Unfortunately, these disorders often go unrecognized by families and physicians alike. Signs of depressive disorders in young people often are viewed as normal mood swings typical of a particular developmental stage. In addition, health care professi...

A sample of 292 college students recalled a partner who had engaged in unwanted pursuit (46%) or recalled their most recent "normal" dating relationship. Subjects rated their own level of stalking victimization and rated the partner on a series of personality characteristics and social competence. Unwanted pursuers were perceived as less socially competent, more histrionic, more borderline, and less obsessive-compulsive, with discrimination of "normals" from unwanted pursuers of approximately 75% to 80% accuracy. These attributions also significantly predicted a continuous measure of unwanted pursuit victimization (R = .406). Implications for developing more precise and practical risk profiles of unwanted pursuers are discussed. A sample of 292 college students recalled a partner who h...

Call me crazy, but, after reading a recent decision of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, I have decided to ask that the American Psychiatric Association formally recognize the disorder that is the title and subject of today's article and include it in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The DSM-IV, as it is more commonly known, is a manual which lists every mental health disorder identified by the association that mental health professionals have used for years in diagnosing and treating the myriad mental illnesses that afflict adults and children. The list of disorders is so long that just to read it can cause a panic attack, which could be symptomatic of one of four panic disorders - or 32 bipolar disorders, 14 major depressive disorders, six adjustment dis...
This study investigates the relationships between the experience of mobbing at work and personality traits and symptom patterns as assessed by means of the revised version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Participants were 107 workers who had contacted mental health services because they perceived themselves as victims of mobbing. In line with previous research, the results showed that the MMPI-2 mean profile was characterized by a neurotic component as evidenced by elevations of Scales 1, 2, and 3 and a paranoid component as indicated by elevation of Scale 6. Contrary to previous research, a pattern of positive and significant correlations was found between the frequency of exposure to mobbing behaviors and the MMPI-2 clinical, supplementary, and content sca...
