Experts calls for drug education for parents Day two of the st International Conference on Drugs and Young People saw experts calling for parents to be educated in how to recognise the signs that their children are using drugs. Dr John Toumbourou, from the Centre for Adolescent Health, said professionals needed to give parents of drug users more support and listen to their concerns. He called for increased education to enable parents to recognise their children were taking drugs as this meant they were better equipped to help them. A new program called PACE Tony Trimingham, whose son died of a heroin overdose, said parents needed more support but warned experts should not undermine parent’s skills. "Parents need acknowledgement," he said. "The need to be accepted as people who are the experts on their own kids".

The week, which runs from 6th-13th April 2003, incorporates World Parkinson’s Day on the 11th of April and finishes with the Flora London Marathon on Sunday 13th of April, 2003 We seem to be constantly bombarded with warnings and information on the rise of one disease or another, which is obviously going to affect our attitudes towards certain conditions and play on our fears to a degree. Parkinson's disease for example affects one million people in the UK, and about 10,000 people are diagnosed in the UK each year - that's 27 every day. Parkinson's is a progressive, neurological disorder, which is mainly treated with drugs and it can affect all aspects of a person's life. It occurs when cells in the part of the brain which controls movement are lost, hence people with Parkinson's experience shaking, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness. In addition, people with the condition can also lose up to 93% of their ability to communicate. Usually symptoms appear after the age of 50 and the risk of developing Parkinson's increases with age. However, one in 20 people diagnosed are under the age of 40. (This is known as young-onset Parkinson's disease). Famous cases have helped to raise the profile of the condition and alter public attitudes. Muhammad Ali, Michael J Fox and Ray Kennedy have all fought to put Parkinson's disease on the agenda and moreover raise public awareness of the disease and the symptoms.

CONTENTS Recognizing Stress Most people are exposed to much higher levels of stress than they realize. Your Stress Scale A self-test you can use to determine how much stress your are really facing. Brain Chemical Messengers Brain cells "talk to each other" by means of chemical messengers. When a person is exposed to too much stress, chemical communication in the brain begins to fail. When these messengers fail, a person suffers from sleep disturbance, aches and pains, depression and anxiety. This condition is called OVERSTRESS. Three Happy Messengers Three brain messengers control your sleeping, your energy levels, and your feelings of pain and pleasure. Pick-Me-Up's Chemicals from the grocery store shelf, as well as drugs, can temporarily restore your brain messenger function but not completely, and not for long.These substances are called "Pick-Me-Up's." Pick-Me-Up's are the WRONG way to handle overstress.
