Marquette, MI -Thursday, May 23 - One in five Americans took psychotropic drugs in 2010, according to a new report issued by research group Medco Health Solutions, and the number was even higher for women. These drugs are used to treat anything from depression and anxiety, to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. As part of the Peter White Public Library's continuing series about mental health, they invited MGH's Behavioral Scientist Michael Papin to discuss one of the most common and debilitating risks associated with taking these drugs, which is Metabolic Syndrome, or weight gain. He said that chronic mental illness is associated with a shortened life span of about 20-25 years on average, and the major reason has to do with cardiovascular disorders and diabetes from the effects of drugs prescribed to treat mental illness. Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) requires the patient meet three of the following risk criteria, according to ADA and ATP-III guidelines: abdominal obesity (measured in waist circumference), high triglyceride levels, low HDL cholesterol levels (the "good" cholesterol), high blood pressure, and high fasting plasma glucose levels. Not all psychotropic drugs have risks of weight gain, and medication affects every person differently, he said. But for the many who do suffer from this side effect, a number of things should be done to ensure the overall health of the patient. The most important thing, he said, is careful prescribing of medication. If someone can be treated effectively without psychotropic drugs, those avenues need to be explored.

Once prescribed, careful monitoring of side effects on the part of the patient's primary care doctor is very important. He said that something like less than 30% of patients get the recommended level of monitoring, often due to lack of insurance and limited resources. Papin said some of the most effective methods for controlling weight gain in patients is severely underused, which includes lifestyle counseling, intervention and education, to help people self-monitor accurately, set and achieve goals, and break destructive habits. Walking an extra 5-10 minutes a day can greatly improve your health, he said, so he recommends simple things like parking farther away from your destination or getting off the bus a stop early. Also, instead of grabbing those chips while you watch a movie, have some tea or control your portions. This advice applies to more than just patients on psychotropic drugs.]]> http://wkqsfm.com/featured/22270/your-mind-matters-medication-and-weight-gain/feed/ 0 Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter Features New Programs http://wkqsfm.com/featured/the-sunny-morning-show/22268/upper-peninsula-animal-welfare-shelter-features-new-programs/ http://wkqsfm.com/featured/the-sunny-morning-show/22268/upper-peninsula-animal-welfare-shelter-features-new-programs/#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 19:04:20 +0000 Walt http://wkqsfm.com/?p=22268

Marquette, MI - Wednesday, May 22 - A Rally for Respect, organized and sponsored by Marquette Senior High School's Gay-Straight Alliance, gathered in the MSHS parking lot and walked to the Marquette Commons to raise awareness about bullying. Their message was "Don't Stand By, Stand Up," to encourage those who would otherwise be bystanders to speak up against bullying and promote tolerance. Despite chilly, misty conditions, more than 50 people participated in the event, which had to be moved indoors due to the weather. It included musical entertainment, community speakers and refreshments. "The purpose is not just gay rights but everyone included within our schools and our businesses," said GSA President Aminda Johnson. "We want everyone to feel equal." Faculty adviser to the GSA Patti Karwoski introduced three speakers from the community who shared their experiences and thoughts: Chief of Chocolay Township Detective Greg Zyburt, Sue Kensington, a local business owner and former director of the Marquette Women's Center, and Ruth Almen, a social worker and Marquette resident. "When we tolerate or encourage abuse of others," said Detective Zyburt, "We teach that it is okay and allow it to go on." The date of May 22 was selected for the event because it is the birthday of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay US politician to become elected to office, assassinated in 1970. "I’m so proud of this alliance because that’s what creates change," said Sue Kensington. "That gay people and lesbians can trust the straight people to work with them, and that the straight people can recognize their own privilege and take responsibility to change things for others." The video, Stick Up for Love, was projected onto a white screen for the crowd to view as an inspiring close to the event. “[People] might tell us we should feel ashamed because we’re gay," said Ruth Almen. "Because we’re too tall, because we’re overweight, because we’re too smart; because we’re police officers or local business owners or social workers; for being female, or poor, for having no dad or two dads, for being any race other than white. But you need not be ashamed of who you are, any of you." WKQS fm Sunny Great Lakes Radio
