Yearly checkups are important

May 1, 2007

A doctor explains why yearly checkups are important, from Harvard Women’s Health Watch

BOSTON — Even women who are healthy need regular preventive services like breast exams, Pap tests, immunizations, and (starting at age 50) fecal occult blood testing, along with periodic measurements of weight, height, and blood pressure. “Well woman visits” are the perfect time to accomplish these things — as well as to create good relationships between doctors and patients, reports the May 2007 issue of Harvard Women’s Health Watch.

A yearly checkup is also an opportunity to reassess a woman’s risk for various conditions. Family history, lifestyle, and other factors may change from year to year and affect a woman’s risk profile.

“Seeing a patient for a periodic health exam gives me a chance to check in with her about new health concerns, and to learn about what worries her. I help validate or assuage her concerns, and we can address them together,” says Dr. Celeste Robb-Nicholson, Harvard Women’s Health Watch editor in chief. A periodic review of what’s going on in a woman’s life—her family, work, activities, stresses, and joys — helps doctor and patient collaborate on health care decisions. This may mean finding the best times to take medications or figuring out how to fit in exercise. The visits also help build a strong patient-doctor relationship, which is invaluable when serious health problems arise.

The Harvard Women’s Health Watch notes some ways to get the most out of your checkup:

  • Bring written lists of your health concerns and your current medications.
  • Mention any changes in the health of your family.
  • Bring up concerns early in the visit, so there is time to address them.
  • Tell your doctor if a medication is not working for you.

Bipolar disorder in children

May 1, 2007

Bipolar disorder in children difficult to diagnose, reports the Harvard Mental Health Letter

BOSTON — At least one-third of the time, the symptoms of bipolar disorder first appear in childhood or adolescence. However, in children, it can be difficult to distinguish bipolar symptoms from those of other disorders, notes the May 2007 issue of the Harvard Mental Health Letter.

Children, especially young children, usually do not show the adult cycle of distinct mood episodes of mania and depression. Also, many symptoms that may stem from bipolar disorder also occur in other childhood disorders: moods fluctuating in very rapid cycles, sometimes from hour to hour; irritability and agitation; or bursts of rage. Bipolar disorder in children is especially difficult to distinguish from ADHD, since they share a number of symptoms — impulsiveness, distractibility, and hyperactivity. Up to 30% of children originally diagnosed with ADHD eventually receive a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Research suggests that some children diagnosed with bipolar disorder have a different condition, recently labeled “severe mood dysregulation.” Although both conditions involve periodic irritability and hyperactivity, electrical signals in the brains of children thought to have severe mood dysregulation are different from brain signals in children with bipolar disorder.

It is important to treat diagnosed bipolar disorder. In adults, that means the use of mood stabilizers — frequently several drugs in combination. The same drugs are increasingly prescribed for children. Psychotherapy can also help. “In coming years we are likely to develop better ways to define the mood problems of children. Nonetheless, childhood bipolar disorder is a real and serious illness that should be recognized and treated as early as possible,” says Dr. Michael Miller, editor in chief of the Harvard Mental Health Letter.
