How you can prevent suicide

9/13/2018

 
This blog was written by Justin Trevino, MD, Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS).

Youth represent Ohio’s future. While school-age children and young adults are learning about and experiencing life, various factors, such as, mental health conditions, environmental stress, substance misuse, and a history of trauma, may lead them to lose hope and take actions to end their lives. 

By taking the time to review this important information, you can help save a young life and reverse the troubling trend we are seeing with youth suicide in Ohio. Awareness is key.
  • Nationally, suicide is the second leading cause of death for those ages 10–24.
  • In Ohio, rates of suicide have climbed 36 percent from 1999–2016.
  • In a year’s time, approximately one in 15 high school students reports attempting suicide; one in 53 reports making a suicide attempt serious enough to require medical treatment.
  • Suicide completion is more common among white males and those living in urban areas.
  • The most common method of completion for males is firearms and for females is hanging/suffocation.
  • The majority of those in this age group who complete suicide have identified mental health issues, though most are not in active treatment. 

Please take a moment to learn the warning signs of suicide:
  • A significant change in mood or behavior — appearing consistently unhappy/depressed, irritable, withdrawn from family/friends/activities
  • Poor performance in school or other important extracurricular activities
  • Involvement in high-risk behaviors, including use of alcohol or other substances
  • Problems with concentration and changes in energy level, appetite, or sleep schedule
  • Direct statements about feeling hopeless/not wanting to live anymore
  • Self-injurious actions (e.g., wrist-cutting, burning self)
  • History or family history of depression 

However, suicide is preventable! Your actions can save the lives of a young person showing the warning signs.
  • Ask directly about thoughts of suicide. (Asking about suicide does not increase the risk of suicide but does open up conversation.)
  • Listen to what they need.
  • Keep them safe. Reduce access to lethal means (e.g., firearms, pills). Call 911 if necessary.
  • Help them connect with ongoing support, such as a local crisis line (740.687.8255), the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1.800.273.8255), or the Crisis Text Line (Text “4hope” to 741741.).
  • Check back the next day to see how they’re doing.
  • Encourage them to engage with counselors to assist with the development of coping skills, problem solving, and conflict resolution.   

OhioMHAS, in partnership with agencies and organizations throughout the state, has developed a comprehensive plan to prevent suicide in Ohio.

You may also connect young people to Ohio’s youth-focused suicide prevention campaign —  Be Present.

Myths of Addiction

8/28/2018

 
This blog was written by Mid-Ohio Pscyhological Services, Inc., Clinician I Cassidy Keller, MA, NCC, LPC.

We live in a world where we have access to information 24/7 via our phones, television, radio, social media, and the Internet. While it is handy to have access to all this knowledge, it can sometimes be difficult to determine myths from facts. We don’t have time to talk about all the myths and facts in the world, so let’s just start with discussing some of the common myths about addiction.

  • Myth #1: Addiction is a choice. There is often a misconception that addiction is solely a choice. It is true that it may start out as a choice to drink alcohol or try a substance (whether it is prescribed or not); however, I think it is safe to say that no one truly wakes up and says, “I choose to be an addict today.” In fact, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction is defined as a chronic brain disease that is evident by the long-lasting impacts substance use can have on the brain that can be visibly seen through scans of the brain.
  • Myth #2: Addicts have a certain “look” and are bad people. Addiction does not discriminate against race, religion, socio-economic status, profession, age, or gender. Addiction can impact a person through all walks of life. Being an addict does not make the person “bad” any more than not being an addict makes a person “good.”
  • Myth #3: If a doctor prescribed the medication, there is no risk of addiction. Unfortunately, every medication comes with potential side effects and risks. This does not necessarily mean that addiction is a side effect; however, it is a risk when prescribed narcotics, such as Percocet, hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc. I encourage each person prescribed medication, whether it be a painkiller or not, to discuss potential risks of the medication with his/her doctor.
  • Myth #4: If a person has a job and/or family, he/she is not really addicted. ​Again, addiction does not discriminate. There are many “functioning addicts” that can maintain a job or family in the world. This often makes the person who has the addiction to live in a world of denial to the severity of his/her problem. Don’t get me wrong: just because a person is able to go to work does not mean that his/her addictions are not impacting other areas of life and addictions will not one day impact a person’s ability to function at work. But, just so we are on the same page, let’s say it together one more time for good measure: “addiction does not discriminate!”

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

7/26/2018

 
This blog was written by Fairfield County ADAMH Board Program Coordinator Patricia Waits, M.Ed., LPC, LICDC-CS.
Mental health conditions do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, or identity. Anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of background. However, background and identity can make access to quality mental health treatment much more difficult. National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 2008 to start creating more awareness around discrepancies and help advocate for more access to better services for minorities.
 
In some minority and marginalized communities, mental health is often considered a taboo or weakness — sometimes it is described as something that should be “taken to God.” Treatment for mental illness is spoken about in even more hushed tones.  Research indicates that minorities seem to face an even stronger and formidable type of stigma. When you combine the increased stigma with the decreased or fewer resources for quality treatment, you are bound to have a higher incidence of persons really becoming ill and struggling alone with their illnesses.
 
Some ways to help change the way things are:
 
  • Share information you’ve learned about accessing quality care to others.
  • Try to be more open and understanding toward what minority communities might be experiencing that you might not be.
  • When asked how minority communities could overcome cultural barriers in mental health, it has been said, “finding people around you that feel the same is very powerful, because depression is VERY isolating.” Sharing your story could help others feel they aren’t alone.
  • Be a spokesperson when there is an opportunity to speak out on behalf of minority mental health.
  • Help support efforts in your community by informing your ADAMH Board what you think works and does not work. Volunteer to help when it comes time for levy campaigns.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

5/2/2018

 
This blog was written by Patti Waits, LPC, LICDC-S.
​May is Mental Health Awareness Month. In light of the recent school shootings it is easy to get swept away with the mistaken belief that persons experiencing mental illness are a danger to society.  The fact is, most people with severe and persistent mental illness are in more danger from us then we are of them. The misunderstandings, stigma, and confusion around these brain disorders continues to amaze me, despite all that we know.

Did you know, for example, that Anxiety and Depression are the top two mental illnesses in American Adults? 19.1% for Anxiety and 6.8% for Depression. What are considered the “psychotic” conditions, those in which hallucinations and delusions can occur, are actually in a much smaller percentage. 2.8% for Bipolar Disorder, and 0.45% for Schizophrenia. And rest assured that just because one has Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia does not mean that he or she is more prone to violence then someone without these illnesses.

I am not saying that we don’t need to tend to the mental wellness of our youth, and for that matter, of our adults. I am, however, pointing out, that the actual likelihood that mental illness is the root “cause” of school shootings is like saying that the “root cause of poverty is unemployment.” It is a gross oversimplification of a complex problem. And it does a great disservice to those who struggle with mental illness every day of their lives, and never ever exhibit any inclination toward violence of any kind.
​
My suggestion is that we learn more about Mental Health and Wellness. Knowledge and facts can be powerful problem solvers. The Fairfield County ADAMH Board offers two courses open to anyone in the community, Mental Health First Aid for Adults, and Mental Health First Aid for adults who interact with Youth.  Check out our website for more information: www.fairfieldadam.org.

March is Gambling Addiction Awareness Month

3/1/2017

 
This blog was written by: Patti Waits, M.Ed., LPC, LICDC (ADAMH Program Coordinator)

Gambling addiction is sometimes referred to as a "hidden illness" because there are no obvious physical signs or symptoms like there are in drug or alcohol addiction.  Like other addictions, Gambling addiction can happen to anyone. One day you are having fun, playing, innocently participating in betting on sports, buying scratch offs, playing poker, hitting the casino to play the slots, or indulging yourself with online gaming.  The next thing you know, you have an unhealthy preoccupation with serious consequences. If your gambling becomes a problem, it can strain your relationships, interfere with work, and lead to financial disaster. You may even do things you never imagined that you would, like stealing money to gamble or pay debts.

Gambling addiction—also known as pathological gambling, compulsive gambling or gambling disorder—is an impulse-control disorder. You’ll gamble whether you’re up or down, broke or flush, happy or depressed, and you’ll keep gambling regardless of the consequences—even when you know that the odds are against you or you can’t afford to lose.

 Here are some Myths and some Facts about Gambling Problems:
  • Myth: I have to gamble every day to have a gambling problem
  • Fact: A problem gambler may gamble often or less frequently- if Gambling causes you problems- it is a problem
  • Myth: If I can afford to gamble, it can’t be a problem for me.
  • Fact: Problems caused by excessive gambling are not just financial. Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship and legal problems, job loss, mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, and even suicide.
  • Myth: My partner ,wife, husband, parent,  is the reason that I gamble- they cause me to.
  • Fact: You are rationalizing your behavior. Blaming others is one way to avoid taking responsibility for your actions. Including what you need to do to overcome the problem.
  • Myth: My partner, wife, husband, parent should help me get out of debt and then I can quit.
  • Fact: Quick solutions may appear to be the loving thing to do, but if your loved one bails you out it will only allow you to keep going.

Mental Health Month Blog -- Staying Mentally Fit

5/16/2016

 
This blog was written by: Rhonda Myers, MA, MSW, LISW-S (ADAMH Executive Director)

We all know the right way to stay healthy – going to the gym, eating our fruits and veggies, getting 8 hours of sleep each night. But what about mental health? How do we make sure we’re doing the right things to stay mentally fit?
 
Everyone has their own definition of what “mental health” means to them. For the sake of this article, I’d like to use the definition put forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act.” It’s an integral part of the way we respond to different situations, how we interact with other people, and how we decide what’s right and wrong.
 
Given how important it is, let’s talk about a few ways you can improve your mental health:

  • BFFs Are Important. Healthy friendships with people who care about you and support your health and happiness are key to your sense of well-being. They can be neighbors, family, church members, or someone who shares your passion for 80’s hair band karaoke. Research has shown that healthy friendships, and other types of positive social support, are a “protective factor”, something that helps to protect us from the stresses of life.

  • Cut Back On The Cookies. Eating healthy and well-balanced meals encourages good brain health: think foods like leafy green vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. Putting the right kind of fuel in your body isn’t just for physical health, it’s good for your mental health too. A number of studies have shown an important relationship between nutrition and well-being. 

  • Catch Plenty of Zzzz’s. Quality sleep is an important aspect of maintaining our mental health. A night of tossing and turning is stressful on our bodies and minds. Lack of adequate sleep has been linked to irritability, increased aggressive behaviors, faulty memories, an inability to think productively, and weight gain.

  • Get In Gear. Exercise has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as increase the ability to think productively. But integrating exercise into your routine is not always easy. Finding something you enjoy can make the “chore” of exercising fun! Walking, hiking, swimming, jogging, volleyball, house or yard work, dancing, weight lifting, yoga, even jazzercise – when you find something you enjoy, you are more likely to stay with the activity.

  • Secure Your Own Oxygen Mask. Most people know that the first rule of safety on an airplane is “put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others to put on theirs.”  To successfully fulfill your life roles and positively contribute to the lives of others, you need to make sure you have things in place for your own mental health and well-being. What healthy activities do you do just for yourself? Examples might include: yoga, painting, photography, reconnecting with nature by hiking, playing an instrument or singing, prayer, socializing, meditation, knitting, bicycling, and the list goes on!

  • Call A Professional. See a therapist! There is no shame is seeking professional help. There are lots of therapists with various specialties throughout the ADAMH Network of Care. A short series of therapy sessions may be just what is needed to re-establish your sense of well-being. Sometimes a combination of therapy and medication is required. Professional counseling, and medication if needed, can dramatically impact the well-being of a person struggling with a mental health disorder.

Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day

5/5/2016

 
This blog was written by: Rhonda Myers, MA, MSW, LISW-S (ADAMH Executive Director)

Picture

​For most children, navigating adolescence is mostly about whom to sit with at lunch, getting your homework turned in on time, and feeling constantly misunderstood. But for some, this time of immense maturity and growth can be side-tracked by the symptoms of a developing mental health problem. According to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) “Half (50%) of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14, and 75% by age 24.” The good news is that with early identification and treatment, the young person can get back to the traditional worries of adolescence. The bad news is, many people do not recognize the symptoms of a mental health disorder and/or do not seek help right away.
 
Reasons people might not seek help right away:
 
Is there even a problem?
Our brains don’t reach full maturity until we are roughly 25 years old. Before that it’s busy learning the basics: how to walk, talk, and do long division. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between normal growing pains (moms and dads might even refer to this as an “attitude problem”) and the beginning symptoms of a mental health disorder.
 
Warning signs of a mental illness can come in all shapes and sizes, but here are a few to keep in mind: episodes of crying, hearing or seeing things that no one else hears or sees, loss of motivation or interest in hobbies and activities once found pleasurable, extreme anxiety, guilt, anger, changes in weight, sleeping excessively or being unable to sleep, and use of alcohol/other drugs. In some cases, a young person might even express thoughts of death and suicide. (If someone indicates they are contemplating suicide, get immediate emergency help.)
 
Why not just get help?
There are a number of obstacles that might discourage someone from receiving the help they need:

            It’s not cool to have a mental health disorder. During a time in life when kids and teens are just trying to fit in with their peers, having a mental health disorder can feel embarrassing. Many teens fear being labeled as psycho, cray-cray, schizo, or mental if they admit they have a problem. Sometimes even a caring parent who suspects their child might have a mental health issue is reluctant to admit help is needed.
 
            It’s probably going to be expensive. The worry of being able to pay for mental health services can be overwhelming and a roadblock to getting the services needed. In Fairfield County, the ADAMH Board partners with Information & Referral (211) to help county residents locate affordable mental health services.
 
What else can I do?
Learn the potential signs and symptoms of a youth experiencing a mental health crisis and acquire an action plan of how you may intervene to get the youth the help they need. The ADAMH Board periodically offers Youth Mental Health First Aid; a program that teaches people how to appropriately get youth the help they may need. Training dates are announced on our website and social media.

Bipolar Poem

3/10/2016

 
This poem was written by: Sheri Perry, ADAMH Board Vice-chair and community advocate who struggles with Bipolar

Bipolar
I jump
Leap
Blazingly bound
From cloud to cloud
 
Person to person
Scheme to scheme
Thought to thought
Until as if tethered
I stop – turn
 
And walk
Wade
Crawl
Through the rubble
I’ve left behind
 
Sinking deeper
Slipping further
From the places
Things and people
That use to matter
 
The rubble becomes walls
Mortared by my tears
I lie naked
Huddled
With my knees to my chest
 
On the floor of my
Dark, damp, dismal dungeon
Until a sliver of
Dim warming light falls at my feet
 
It grows and widens
Warming my soul
I rise and rise
Through the ceiling
Of my tomb
 
I jump
Leap
Blazingly bound
From cloud to cloud ……
 

Stress Management (part 2)

6/21/2015

 
This blog was written by: Patti Waits, M.Ed., LPC, LICDC (ADAMH Consumer and Family Advocate)

In Part 1, I told you a little about different kinds of stress, but if you are experiencing any of them, you may want to know more about how to deal with stress.  Here are just some of my favorites:

Laughing is my all-time favorite stress reducer. Laughing with friends, laughing alone, laughing in the shower, laughing in my sleep. Laughter relaxes muscles, lowers blood pressure and eases mental tension. Researchers find that laughter may also reduce levels of hormones that both elicit stress responses and suppress immunity.

Keeping plans realistic with respect to available time and physical/mental resources is important in managing stress. Some of us write lists and we can get carried away. If my list is longer than there are hours in the day, I might want to work on how I plan my day. Going out to dinner on Friday night can be lots of fun, but for some people it is the wrong night of the week. If you are getting off work at 5 p.m. and have plans to go meet someone for dinner an hour away and you get caught up in rush hour traffic, you have to ask yourself, “what is wrong with this plan?”
Picture
Breathe. The reason meditation and yoga are so effective in reducing stress levels is that people learn how to breathe. The way you breathe can influence your mind, your body and your mood. The mere act of focusing on your breathing is relaxing, even if you do nothing else. Take time for yourself.  Sometimes we just need to sit quietly by ourselves and let the lungs fill up with air and release the stress we are carrying around.

Another good stress reducer is to talk to friends. Do things with your friends that you enjoy and that put you at ease. Talk to your friends when you are struggling and ask them for help. Women are more prone to take advantage of friendships as a stress breaker then men. However, men do release stress by getting together with friends and doing physical activities, such as playing basketball, or working out. Any type of physical activity, including sex, can be effective in helping to control stress.
It is important, too, to remember that when we are stressed we forget to eat right, get enough sleep, and to practice healthy habits.  Reduce your caffeine intake when you are going through a stressful period as this will always agitate stress and anxiety. Learn to accept yourself and others. We often get stressed out about things that are way beyond our control, such as someone else's feelings or beliefs. Make a gratitude list, spell out all the good things in your life that make it so worthwhile.  It is harder to be stressed out when we have a grateful heart.
