themighty.comthemighty.com:

I live with functional neurological disorder (FND), which means that I can have flares of extreme tremors that can prevent me from doing much of anything.

When my tremors are at their worst, my legs, arms, and head shake uncontrollably. The tremors are uncomfortable for me, and, admittedly, they’re uncomfortable for other people to see.

FND is an invisible illness that sometimes becomes extremely visible with my tremors. It can be largely absent for long periods of time, and can flare up for no reason.

The Powerful Connection Between Disability and Music
A few days ago, I had the absolute privilege of attending the final stop of the National Art Centre’s Orchestra‘s Truth in Our Time tour. This concert was beyond exciting for what feels like a billion reasons: it was the final stop of their tour, the truth in our time theme was, well, timely, and this was the first time in two years that I’ve heard live music! And above all? I’ve been dreaming of going to one of these concerts since I first fell in love with Ottawa at age 14 on a choir trip to MusicFest Canada.

Researchers Prove That Taking Breaks Can Actually Activate the Brain
Current Biologyshows that we retain knowledge longer when we expand time intervals between learning. Allowing the brain to “reset” and absorb the knowledge strengthens connections between neurons. In turn, this leads to better performance on tasks.Called the spacing effect, taking breaks between learning can apply to many facets of life.

When I Realized Life With Chronic Illness Can Be Hard and Good at the Same Time
Recently, one of my friends was complaining about our job. And I responded, yes, it’s hard, but I love it. And she was shocked. We often discuss challenges and frustrations about our job, and I feel like I’m usually overwhelmed by the amount of work that I still need to do. I realized that even though I also love it, I don’t always express that to her. Possibly because I know that she hates it and is considering quitting. Or because I assumed she saw the good parts too.

The History of the Facial Action Coding System (FACS)
In my cross-cultural studies researching display rules, I developed and published a tool for measuring facial movements, the Facial Affect Scoring Technique (FAST). A year after it was published, an anthropologist, Wade Seaford, showed me a facial movement on his own face that was not included in FAST. I was devastated by Wade’s demonstration, not knowing how much else, how many other facial movements we had missed in creating FAST.

When Chronic Illness Turns You Into a Spectator of Your Own Life
I sit in the parking lot of my local pharmacy, fingers lightly clasped around the steering wheel like a loose forkful of pasta. My breathing is quick but not panicked. My heart follows suit — ba-dum, ba-dum-dum, ba-dum. There’s music coming from the radio but you couldn’t pay me to tell you what was playing… I have no idea. I guess numbness is the best way to describe what I’m feeling. My mind won’t stop racing or asking questions: Wasn’t I here two days ago? Didn’t I talk with a pharmacist this morning? Did I remember to call my surgeon? What else do I need to pick up so I can conserve energy and not make two trips? How long of a nap should I take to get this energy back?

If You Overexplain, These 7 Reasons Might Be Why
If you’ve been reading my articles for a while, it might seem that I’m pretty articulate in getting my thoughts across. That’s the benefit of writing and revision: I feel much more confident when communicating in this way and I don’t have the immediacy of conversation to cause me anxiety. That’s because I’m a chronic “overexplainer” — talk to me in person or on a call, and I’ll keep talking… and talking. The more anxious I am, the longer it goes on.

The Tattered Promise of ADHD Telehealth
May 24, 2022It took just 30 minutes for Allison, 31, to receive a dual diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety from a psychotherapist on Cerebral. She joined the mental health subscription platform during the pandemic because the wait time to see an in-person clinician for an ADHD evaluation was long — too long for the mother of three children, two preschoolers and one 10-year-old with ADHD. Within one week of her diagnosis, a prescription for the antidepressant Wellbutrin was mailed directly to her home in Illinois.

How to Calm Your Child Down After Mom or Dad Gets Angry
Parenting is not an easy feat, there is so much pressure on our backs, that even the slightest bit of extra pressure can push us over the edge. The thing is, because there’s a common misconception that parents aren’t supposed to get angry, we are under even more pressure.Don’t get me wrong, when we do get angry and act out on our children, it isn’t the best course of action. However, if you are a parent and never experience an outburst, I would likely doubt that you are even human.

Why Is Disability Self-Advocacy So Hard?
Self-advocacy is essential, vital, crucial, and life-or-death to the disability experience. We have no choice but to advocate for ourselves in all spheres of our lives – be it healthcare, school, work, or the community. And while self-advocacy is so crucial, and every organization has put out resources on it at least once – it is still. so. hard. to. do. And the concept still feels so out of reach to so many people. So – why is self-advocacy so hard? Why does it feel like we’re always talking about self-advocacy but not actually doing it? Let’s figure it out together.

Study: COVID Disruptions Contribute to Misdiagnosis of Learning Disorders in Children
April 25, 2022Educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to inaccurate or missed diagnoses of learning disorders in children, according to a new report in Nature Reviews Psychology that argues such errors may delay or deny necessary interventions and educational support. 1Since COVID-19 lockdowns began in March 2020, millions of children have experienced school closures, virtual learning, reduced or eliminated access to support services and interventions, and psychosocial adversity (such as the death of a loved one or decreased social support).
