Attention-Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Prevention Program
Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) have problems with concentration, hyperactivity,
and acting impulsively. Caring for children with ADHD
can be tiring and stressful for the family.
In a series of three newsletter on
ADHD offered by Corphealth, you will find suggestions
for working with children who have ADHD. You will also
find information about how families of ADHD children
can better deal with stress.
Early
Recognition of Post Partum Depression Prevention Program
Between 50-80% of women become depressed
after giving birth. For most women, these "baby
blues," or feelings of sadness, disappear after
a few days. For 10-15%, these gloomy feelings linger
and turn into post partum depression.
Post partum depression is much more
serious than the "baby blues" and can affect
a mother's ability to take care of her child. Luckily,
it is a very treatable problem.
Corphealth offers helpful information
for pregnant women and women who have recently given
birth. In this material, you will find the symptoms
of the "baby blues" and post partum depression,
as well as the risk factors for developing one of these
problems.
If you are a provider/practitioner
that is treating a Corphealth member that has been diagnosed
with ADHD or a member that is pregnant or recently delivered
a baby and would like to receive paper copies of our
preventive health materials, please contact Corphealth
at (866) 279-7214.
