In a brief break from the traditional look into medical myths, this episode of the Merck Manuals Medical Myths podcast will delve into the difficult and sometimes taboo topic of children's mental health. Especially during 2020 and into 2021, children were forced to confront challenges and disruptions that no one could've imagined. And while adults have their own way of dealing with trauma, stress and mental health in general, children can be much different. To help us unpack some of the challenges children face, we welcome Dr. Josephine Elia, psychiatrist with a specialty in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Nemours, A.I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. This is Part 1 of a two-part series on children's mental health, with Part 1 focusing on identifying some of these issues. Part 2 will delve into how parents and guardians can manage and address some of the mental health difficulties that children face. Click here to learn more about mental health disorders in children.

April is National Minority Health Month, and this year, the national Office of Minority Health is focusing on the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on racial and ethnic minorities, including heart disease. We are delighted to have Dr. Stella Lisk, Structural Heart Program coordinator at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth with helpful tips for everyone to take better care of our hearts. We are completing 14 months of living with Covid-19, and too often we think this is an adult pandemic. But our kids have been equally affected. Missed graduations, proms, school events and get-togethers; the social components that are so crucial for healthy childhood in today's society - all gone for the last year. We are honored to have Dr. Kia Carter, co-medical director of Psychiatry at Cook Children's in Ft. Worth for the second half of our show. She is a wealth of information on not only how our kids are affected by the pandemic, but also when things turn to the dark side and kids start thinking of suicide, what we as parents, grandparents, or family support should know.

I learned from Dr. Donna Lane that : “According to a 2016 study published by Whitney and Peterson, one in six kids between 6 and 17 have a mental health diagnosis. This was, of course, pre-COVID. A recent study in Psychiatric Times indicated that isolation and loneliness increase the risk of depression up to 9 years after the event, and the duration vs. the intensity of loneliness was more likely to cause long-term mental health issues.” No wonder our children’s mental health is one of the main concerns of many moms I talk with. But there are so many stigmas around mental health and fear of diagnosis that it can be difficult to navigate the world of mental health for ourselves, let alone our children. We’ve talked about adult mental health topics here on the podcast before, but today we’re turning our focus to children’s mental health. It’s a timely topic for all families right now as we navigate the events of the world. Dr. Donna Lane is here with us to share the basics plus deeper insights. We talk about why/when/how people seek mental health help for their children…and then goes on to explain in clear terms what mental health resources are available to children (what a psychiatrist is, psychologist, counselor, family therapist, and social workers) and then what therapy/counseling sessions look like both online and in-person. Dr. Donna’s messages are for moms of younger kids as well as moms of teens who are concerned about the isolation from peer relationships and how that’s affecting their kids, signs to look for, and how to reach out. There are some thorough and helpful links to resources in the show notes. Donna’s Bio: Drs. David and Donna Lane are a husband-wife counseling duo who specialize in trauma, grief, and loss as well as family relationships. While qualified by education, their life experience shapes much of their current-day work, as they have experienced first-hand the horrific death of their own son, who had a neurological disorder throughout his 17 years on earth. The Lanes are professors, counselors, consultants and award-winning authors; their research and writing on trauma and grief has been used extensively throughout the world in the aftermath of tragedies including the Sandy Hook shootings, Haiti earthquakes, Rwandan genocide and others. The Lanes live in the Atlanta area and have been married to each other for more than 40 years.

How the pandemic has affected young people's wellbeing - and what we can do to help.

New research finds the pandemic has disproportionately impacted people of sexual or gender minorities, and an IU expert says limited access to technology has exacerbated health disparities for some children.

The start of the 2021 school year was unlike any other our children have ever experienced. Challenging events throughout 2020, including COVID, meant children were carrying much more than the contents of their school bags on their shoulders as they approached the classroom at the start of Term 1. Today we take the time to discuss the impacts of COVID on childrens mental health in the short, middle and long term with our special guest, Chanel Nesci. Chanel is a Registered Psychologist and Psychological Health and Safety Leader at BUPA with almost ten years of experience working in Mental Health. We ask Chanel questions including: What are your thoughts on the impact of COVID on children's mental health? What are some of the positives children can take away from the last 12 months? Starting with preschoolers? Primary Schoolers? Teens? Do you think that this time has enabled the ability to form even stronger bonds with parents? Do you think this opportunity has developed a greater appreciation for their friends? Teachers? Do you think the additional rules and regulations COVID has brought to our lives has helped children become better behaved? Addressing the cons, do you think children find it much more difficult to express how they are feeling? How do parents and caregivers identify signs of stress? How do the signs of stress differ child to child? What can parents do to help this? What affects does Social isolation have on kids? What's your thoughts on children's abilities to initiate and form robust conversations these days? And the potential lack thereof to form deep connections to others through this? How can parents keep an eye out on any signs that your children might need more support?

1 Law Enforcement and the Problem of White Supremacy 2 Doctors fear new child mental health crisis in UK, made worse by Covid

Debate hosted by the Academy of Ideas Education Forum on 4 March 2021. INTRODUCTION A large survey undertaken by the NHS in July 2020 found that a staggering one in six children now have a ‘probable mental health disorder’. Since that report we have had another school lockdown. Anne Longfield, the outgoing Children’s Commissioner for England, argued that ‘damage to children’s mental health caused by the Covid crisis could last for years without a large-scale increase for children’s mental health services’. It is widely accepted that lockdown and school closures have had a detrimental effect on young people, but what does that really mean? Some argue that a year of severe disruption to schooling has limited children’s educational, social and intellectual development, with the likelihood of knock-on effects on the future university and career prospects of GCSE and A Level students. But are the NHS, Children’s Commissioner and others unnecessarily catastrophising the state of children’s mental health? Have the kids really been messed up by lockdown? Or might they be more resilient than may adults give them credit for? At what point does missing your school friends transform from disappointment, sadness and frustration to mental illness? Is there now a danger that we stretch the definition of mental health so far that it encompasses many of the normal travails and anxieties of normal teenage life and growing up? On the other hand, kids missing out on seeing their peers and grown-up role models such as grandparents and teachers is no trivial matter. Is it not bound to limit their emotional and social cognition and lead to serious problems? As schools get set to reopen, this latest online Education Forum debate will explore the impact of lockdown on the mental health of young people. SPEAKERS Molly Kingsley co-founder, UsForThem Dr Ken McLaughlin senior lecturer in Social Care and Social Work, Manchester Metropolitan University Sarah Standish school counsellor at a Harrow school

We have Stephanie on to talk about the mental health of our children. Mental health is generational, and also involves epigenetics. Many of the issues in our personal childhood homes get carried over into our adult families, leading to our kids getting a lot of the same inputs we had. This can happen during our using or even after finding recovery, before we learn healthier ways to parent. Even if we get everything right, there is still the danger of our children struggling with their mental health. What do we do about it? We explore how to recognize, how to help the best we can, some resources, and mostly how to take care of ourselves while trying to help our children, since we will be of little use to them if we can't find our center. Join the conversation by leaving a message, emailing us at RecoverySortOf@gmail.com, or find us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, or find us on our website at www.recoverysortof.com.

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving. Happy Tuesday, Welcome December. Holiday Happiness Starts Here. What makes Christmas season so wonderful? Hey guys just wanted to tap on children and mental health. So many of our children are being effected from the ages of 2-17 years.
