I just wanted to share a heartwarming story from my own family that shows how kids look up to their parents and see things that sometimes we can miss in ourselves. I am a Physician Assistant now, specialized in Psychiatry, though my prior healthcare experience was all in the mental health field primarily providing psychological evaluations and testing/recommendations for treatment and therapy to a lesser extent including group therapy. When I went through PA school, my son was very young and he was always my best patient willing to let me listen to his heart or lungs, look in his ears or eyes, etc so I could practice all aspects of the physical exam as a medical provider. He made me a card yesterday for "doctor's day" and wrote the sweetest inscription that warmed my heart and made my day. I told him I'm not a doctor, I'm a physician assistant, just like I would correct patients who erroneously assume I'm a physician. My son didn't care and still wanted me to have the card and show me how proud of me he was. It was so sweet and thoughtful! Never forget how little ones watch what you do and make assumptions and look up to you as a parent. Your children are often your biggest fans, and we as parents need to also show them how proud of them we are by reinforcing their hard work and effort rather than focusing on their achievements. This is well known through research to create successful and intrinsically motivated kids who set realistic goals and feel proud of working hard to achieve them!

Interesting new brain research on depression - using novel techniques they were able to isolate a tiny area that contributes to depressive symptoms in mice when inactivated and improved symptoms when activated.

New Insights into Depression | Seattle Children's Hospital In 2014, Dr. Eric Turner’s team found that a tiny part of the brain – the dorsal medial habenula (dMHb) – helps regulate moods and controls the motivation to exercise and engage in pleasurable activities in mice, and thus potentially in people.

Who can identify with this? Sometimes you have to laugh at yourself!
