Staff, APPS2010-06-15T02:01:08+00:00

As a psychologist, of course I’ve always been witness to the extreme cases. However, over the past few years, screen time concerns rank up there for why kids and teens are coming to therapy. This Summer I worked with several teenager boys who were spending the majority of their free time gaming in isolation [...]

Understanding Eating Disorders

Staff, APPS2010-06-07T12:51:46+00:00

Living with an eating disorder is often a very private struggle, which might stem from the fact that eating disorders are generally misunderstood in our society and therefore seem easier to hide rather than to confront. Sadly, in this case, ignorance is not bliss, and it can be detrimental to the recovery of those suffering from eating disorders and other mental illnesses. NEDA works to expand our awareness of the propensity of eating disorders affecting people of all ages and backgrounds in our society and throughout the world. When people think of eating disorders, they often think solely of anorexia nervosa [...]

Your Mental Health vs. Your Job?

Staff, APPS2018-11-20T00:11:53+00:00

Published in the Loudoun Times-Mirror in April, 2010 Several sources show an increase in mental health services since the recession – increases in crisis line calls, employee assistance program counseling sessions and inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations. This is not surprising given that the unemployment rate remains around 10 percent nationally – as a nation, these are indeed stressful times. But the national numbers for mental health treatment don’t reflect an important subset of individuals (both in the private and public sectors) that put the concern for their job ahead of their mental health needs. Some of these individuals are [...]
