		<title>As I See It: Vol.1 Issue #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all been hurt by someone or have found ourselves on the short end of some situation. And when treated unfairly, there&#8217;s a natural tendency to want to right the wrong or level the playing field, so to speak.

		<title>Initiating Antidepressant Selection: What’s Important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For clients being prescribed an antidepressant for the first time, here are some important considerations: How the depression presents.

		<title>Three Reasons Why I&#8217;m Not Looking Forward to a DSM 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The absence of clear biological markers to aid us in establishing an etiological basis for diagnosing mental health disorders will translate into a manual that is more of the same.

		<title>Mental Health Diagnosis: A Model for Success</title>

		<title>As I See It: Vol.1 Issue #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always liked the signature phrase that helped define the Nike Corporation, namely, &#8220;Just Do It.&#8221; I like this phrase because it simply and succinctly states the best way to learn something, particularly something new. For some time now, I&#8217;ve been taking improvisation classes and have become part of an improv group. I began taking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recently released updated ADD guidelines that recommend medication treatment for preschool children as young as age 4 – despite the fact that use at such a young age remains FDA unapproved.

It’s simply a part of the human condition to have occasional “fight-or-flight” moments that we find difficult to control or manage.
