They start when we are babies and actually change as we age. As we approach Halloween, we will be talking about why fears are a natural part of human nature but how natural fears can evolve into paralyzing phobias that can block us from living a normal life. We'll cover the difference between fears and phobias and why it's an important distinction and what we can do when a phobia is overtaking us.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: Today, we're talking about something that we all experience: worry. The fleeting unease before a job interview, the persistent thoughts about a big presentation—Meeting someone new or even whether or not a trip will go off as planned. These worries are just normal parts of life. But when does that feeling cross the line into something more, something chronic, excessive, and at times debilitating? When does worry become anxiety and then when does anxiety become an anxiety disorder? We'll explore that distinction today and discuss when it's time to seek help.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org. Hosted on Acast.

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: In desperation to protect our loved ones who have illnesses or disorders, it is easy to become emotional and overzealous. We may want to quickly react to reported causations and/or treatments that are touted. Of course, if we could prevent a devastating illness or a developmental disorder in our loved one, we would go for it, right. But sometimes jumping to a treatment or stopping a treatment may not be helpful and could even be dangerous. Today we'll be talking about why understanding “correlation without causation” is so important as we make medical decisions.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.
