What is the purpose of military behavioral health?

We Answered:

He might not be deployable for now, but the point of behavioral health is to treat mental illnesses. Mental health problems are becoming more accepted as the illnesses they are, rather than something that can't be cured.

Careers working with children...health care field?

We Answered:

The MSW in the health care field is probably one of the better degrees. There is a great deal of information available on the NASW website that would be worth checking out. A MS degree in Nursing or becoming a Nurse practitioner is also a good bet but will take some time (you probably would need more pre-requisits - same or Physician assistant and MD). Public health is another option, though is usually less hands on work. Counseling and health care do not often work together (more in behavioral health care). Psychology does, but you will need a PhD. DA

Does poor sperm quality affect a baby's future health?

We Answered:

Recent studies have shown that poor sperm quality such as in the case of a man who drinks, smokes or uses drugs (even Rx) excessively increase the chances of a child having future issues such as ADD, ADHD as well as Heart and Thyroid issues, so yes sperm quality does effect the health of the unborn. Studies also show paternal age, the older a father is also affects the health of a child.

Jorge Said:

to all my mental health friends......need groups or activities to do with teenage behavioral health females!!!

We Answered:

I was a therapist for very troubled adolescent young women for 15 yrs. Group work did WONDERS!! The key is always down in the early years--abuse, usually!! Later, in working with Behavior Disorder adolescent guys, I realized that young women acted out against themselves!! Guys acted out against everybody else!!! ") I did extensive social histories from the y. women themselves and from any family member available! Group work--esp using psycho-drama (Moreno) is extremely effective!! They can present the trauma through others acting as she directs--or the y. woman herself can direct the trauma!! AND the RE-DOING of the trauma in the way that that young child KNEW was RIGHT!!!! Sexual abuse is almost always the core trauma!!!

How do I deal with an 11yr old daughter who has extreme behavioral issues?

We Answered:

puleeze to the above answers. positive feedback yes.... give her that but BUST THAT *** with a belt a couple more times and she will straighten out .. i have an 11 year old who did the same exact things .. i busted her *** and she is my super sweet, super helpful loving child that helps around the house and i praise her for doing that. i tell her everyday when she is good that i love her for helping and i appreciate her and i go things for her that she asks nicely about and when she even thinks (and yes she does think it from time to time) about getting out of line ... i bring the belt back out and say remember him? yeah i didn't think so .. its time the parents got back their dignity and lives from uncontrollable kids!!!
