*o-PixelPixie-o:icono-PixelPixie-o: reports, August 27
This is a link to a site devoted to getting out awareness of a disorder called Infantile Spasms. There is as of yet no cure for this disorder, and the treatment for it (anti-epileptic medicines) can have serious side-effects. Symptoms generally start to appear between 3-6 months and stop by age 5-6. Though I.S. resolves itself, many children who develop it will develop other types of seizures which may last their entire life.

This father, blogging about his child and his own attempts to cope with and raise awareness of this disorder really touched me, and I simply thought I'd share it. If you think you have a good forum for spreading this awareness even further, I encourage you to do so.

I'm not sure if it's still current, but I suffer from it and would like to see a national bipolar day if there already isn't.

That's what I'm unsure of. If not, we could always begin one. I know I'd be willing.

An excellent article - homework very well researched!

I cannot ever understand people rejecting articles like this... Makes me wonder if some of them think this is their mission in life, just to go around making rejections!

This is fantastic, it makes everyone aware of how much work there is going on to make these more well known.

I certainly didn't know any of these existed.

Power to the people!
