poor quality control and related factors can lead to scams. It is important that treating staff stress the importance of good communication about various products that are promoted as holistic, organic, herbal, etc as some have no foundation in science and are financial scams. Wellness oriented life-style changes that include nutrition, exercise, and stress management are very positive and important. INTERVIEWER: Do you feel additional supports such as AA, MA or other meeting groups are helpful in aiding recovery? DR. STENSON: These programs are incredibly important and sadly, too often, under-utilized. Frequently, patients on normalizing doses of methadone or buprenorphine report unpleasant experiences at AA/NA when their treatment was shared. This is gradually changing as more AAs and NAs gain awareness of the highly effective, non-conscious altering effects of proper dosing of methadone and buprenorphine. We encourage our patients to become familiar with brochures such as, “T

Sacramento Launches Mental Health Promotion Project to Reduce Stigma and Discrimination When the issues of discrimination and stigma are discussed, it is generally in the context of race, gender, sex or age. Rarely is there a correlation to mental health. The numbers tell a different story. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, roughly one in every four adults will experience a diagnosable mental health disorder, and nearly one out of every five children will experience some degree of an emotional or behavioral difficulty. Even though it’s a common occurrence, stigma and discrimination against persons living with mental illness and emotional disturbance are widespread and reach all facets of society. Mental illness affects every ethnic, racial, cultural, economic and religious group and impacts individuals of all ages and genders. In Sacramento County alone, it is estimated that nearly 355,000 residents are living with a mental illness, but rese

Take a walk along Stockton Boulevard. Head south from U Street, and on the right you ll pass 2250 Stockton Blvd: the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center (affectionately known as SCMHTC). Keep heading south, past the Coca Cola bottling plant, and you ll reach the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science. It s an attractive but low-key building, also on the west side, nestled between a telephone company switching station and a La Bou fast food restaurant. Now look east across Stockton and behold the monument to modern medicine that is the University of California, Davis Medical Center. The sprawling campus has it all: lush lawns, a rose garden, hospital towers, clinic buildings, parking structures, water fountains, the emergency room. Gurneys, elevators, operating rooms, MRIs. There s radiology, burn management, and surgery for everything from your eyes to your toenails. There s internal medicine and family practice. You can get care for you liver, k

Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by Gail Erlandson, M. A. Does your mood change with the seasons? Does the gloomy fog of Sacramento coincide with gloomy thoughts and low energy? There are two types of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S. A. D. ) to be aware of: fall/winter onset S. A. D. and spring/summer onset S. A. D. The fall/winter type, sometimes known as “winter depression,” is the most common. The reduced level of sunlight in the winter can disrupt our body’s internal clock. Reduced sunlight can cause a drop in serotonin that may cause depression. The loss of light can also disrupt the balance of the natural hormone melatonin, which aids with sleep and stability of mood. Winter-onset seasonal affective disorder symptoms may include: feelings of hopelessness, social withdrawal, weight gain, oversleeping, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, and sometimes the craving of foods high in carbohydrates. It is normal to have some days when we feel the winter blues, but if we

Beyond diabetes there are psychiatric aspects of stroke, pain, substance abuse (particularly nicotine), asthma, heart disease, reproductive health, gastrointestinal illness, infectious disease, cancer, migraine. . . the list is huge. What can be done? Asking patients to cross Stockton Boulevard whenever they have a symptom or disease that affects both the mind and body will surely result in more than the occasional traffic accident. We need to move mental health out of the ghetto, reestablish good communication between mental health providers and the rest of the medical community, abolish insurance systems that isolate and stigmatize mental health care, and integrate mind health into medical school and residency programs (and I don t mean the oh-god-I-have-to-do-a-psych-rotation system currently in place). We have to reject the Cartesian fallacy that says that mind and body are separate: good medical care means treating the whole person. It s time to abandon the boulevard. Dr. R
