Mental health disorders on the rise among youngsters says report

By Ananya Mandal, MDNov 23 2018

A new report has shown that one fifth of all girls aged between 17 and 19 years and a tenth of boys in the same age group in England are suicidal or have tried to harm themselves.

This report comes after a 13 year long study that is one of the largest. Several issues including social media abuse, sexual violence and pressure to appear good and happy have come up in the survey that experts have said are worrying.

The report was generated by the NatCen Social Research, the Office for National Statistics and Youth in Mind. A total of 9,711 participants were scanned during this study.

This latest study is government sponsored and has also found that mental health disorders are on the rise. Even among toddlers aged 2 to 4 years there is a 5.5 percent prevalence of mental health disorders. This is the first study to have gathered data on children of such a young age group. The report released by the NHS Digital has revealed that one in eight of 11 to 19 year old children had some form of mental ailment in 2017.

Mental health survey was last carried out in 2004 among children aged 5 to 15 years of age. It was seen that among these children the prevalence rose from 10.1 percent in 2004 to 11.2 percent in 2017. This small rise was surprising considering that there are a large number of young girls who have tried to self harm or commit suicide. It was seen that 21.5 percent of the girls aged between 17 and 19 years have attempted suicide or tried to self-harm.

Girls of this age had a high prevalence (23.9 percent) of mental health disorders, the report found. Most of the cases were anxiety and depression, the study noted. Similarly boys of this age group had a prevalence of 9.7 percent who tried to commit suicide or attempted self-harm.

According to Emma Thomas, the chief executive of the charity Young Minds there are several factors that could be contributing to such “worrying” numbers. “Pressure to do well at school, college or university, difficulty finding work or starting a new job, and moving to a new area all help explain the widespread anguish among them.” Social media, she said was used to compare themselves with others and the number of “likes” or “comments” often determined the popularity.

Jemima Olchawski, the Chief Executive of Agenda that campaigns for girls and women at risk of mental health problems, said that not all blame can be placed at the doors of body image and social media. She blamed sexual influences, pressures and sexual violence among teenage girls and young women.

Sue Rogers, the services manager at Action for Children said that sleep problems, behavioural problems, excessive crying and eating difficulties may be the clues that toddlers and children give out if there is a problem. Prof Tamsin Ford, one of the study’s co-authors who focuses on child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Exeter did not agree that excessive use of gadgets and phones were responsible for these numbers.

WHAT IS MARTIAL LAW? UKRAINE TO MAKE DECLARATION AS THREAT OF RUSSIA WAR LOOMS

BY CRISTINA MAZA ON 11/26/18 AT 10:11 AM

Ukraine’s government is expected to impose martial law for several months after the Russian military opened fire on Ukrainian ships on Sunday, elevating the possibility of a full-fledged war between the two countries.

Martial law allows the country’s military to take over the normal responsibilities of a civilian government. It is generally invoked in a moment of national emergencies, such as war or invasion.

Russia and Ukraine have been in conflict ever since a pro-Western social movement ousted the pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Since then, Russia has annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and supported armed pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country known as Donbass.

Kiev had so far resisted imposing martial law. But experts say that Moscow seized on a moment when many in the West were distracted with Thanksgiving celebrations and Brexit negotiations to provoke Ukraine and escalate the conflict significantly. Now it is likely that martial law will be imposed for at least 90 days.

Some experts are concerned that the emergency move could result in the postponement of elections scheduled for March 2019, and could be used to bolster the dwindling support for Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine’s current president.

“For a country under attack for nearly five years by a much stronger neighbor with a deep reach into the country, martial law is not unthinkable. Some politicians have criticized Poroshenko for years for not declaring martial law,” John Herbst, U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2003 to 2006, toldNewsweek.

“A declaration of martial law now, after an open Russian attack on Ukrainian forces, can rightly be explained without reference to political motives. It is hard to say whether or not political motives are also in play...A measure that enables the government to move quickly to escalating Russian aggression is entirely reasonable. A measure that was to cancel or postpone elections, much less so,” Herbst continued.

Many pro-democracy activists in the West are calling on their government to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression. Intelligence and military analysts said that Moscow had long supported covert operations against Ukraine but that Sunday’s action was one of the first overt military attacks by Russia against Ukrainian forces. At least six Ukrainian soldiers were wounded on Sunday when Russia attacked their navy vessels and seized several of the ships.

Moscow claimed that the Ukrainian ships had illegally entered Russian territorial waters. The three ships had been attempting to pass from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov through the Kerch Strait when the Russian forces attacked. Video of the incident released by Ukraine shows a Russian ship deliberately ramming into a Ukrainian tugboat.

Moscow has increased its naval presence in the area around Crimea over the last year to assert its dominance in the waters. Analysts said Moscow was now trying to spark a conflict in order to show Ukraine’s leadership that it could act with impunity.

“The episode in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, and the feeble Western reaction, suggests that the aggressor will feel empowered. Russia is hungry for a ‘small victorious war,’ like taking all of southern Ukraine to the Moldovan border,” Ariel Cohen, a senior fellow at the Washington D.C.-based think tank Atlantic Council, told Newsweek.

It is unclear how the West will respond to the incident, but an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council will be held on Monday. Meanwhile, protesters gathered around the Russian embassy in Ukraine on Sunday evening.

US media obfuscation of the truth about the Yemen war has effectively shielded the American public from learning that their country is in league with Al Qaeda forces there, Rania Khalek reports.

Al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) is supposed to be the branch most dangerous to Americans because it is actively plotting attacks on the US. Yet, the US-backed coalition of Arab nations, led by Saudi Arabia, has cozied up with the group amid the stalled military intervention against the Houthis. AQAP not only fights coalition members, but even serves as a source of recruits for it.

The US has a long history of using radical religious extremists to do their dirty work, from propping the Muslim Brotherhood against socialist movements, and arming and training the mujahideen against the USSR in Afghanistan, to turning a blind eye to the predominance of various jihadist groups among anti-government 'rebels' in Syria.

But the American public is mostly oblivious to the fact that the terrorists, which their country has been supposedly fighting to eradicate since the 9/11 attacks, are de facto US allies in Yemen.

The US mainstream media does not give such details their deserved coverage. The entire Yemeni debacle has been flying under the radar for years, as the Saudi-led coalition bombs weddings and marketplaces and blocks food supplies to the starving nation, Khalek says.

The alleged attack left Emma Martin (pictured) with a fractured skull, broken ribs, a busted eye socket and a burst eardrum

The appalling footage shows the man allegedly kick the 36-year-old in the ribs while she is lying on the ground. WARNING: Confronting images.

A 36-year-old Gold Coast woman has allegedly been severely bashed by a man for smoking a cigarette in an underground car park.

Emma Martin, a disability pensioner, was in the carpark of her Southport apartment building with a female friend when the two women were approached by a fellow resident, Nine News reported.

The neighbour, identified by Nine News as Rewi Borell, argued that Ms Martin was not allowed to smoke within the area.

"What is your deal mate? F*ck off"

Ms Martin's friend Kylie Klievens filmed the alleged incident on her mobile phone.

In the shocking video, Ms Klievens can be heard saying, "come on, stop it" as her friend is pushed to the ground beside a parked car.

"What is your deal mate? F*ck off," Ms Martin says.

A man's voice responds, "You're not allowed to smoke down here mate. My baby's sick, she's got asthma."

Comment: If he was so concerned then an enclosed space with car exhaust fumes would be the last place he would want his child.

The footage also shows the man allegedly kick Ms Martin in the ribs while she is lying on the ground.

A newborn was metres away from the attack

A newborn baby was reportedly metres away during the alleged incident.

Ms Martin suffered a fractured skull, broken ribs and a burst eardrum in the alleged attack.

She spent several days in hospital.

Mr Borell is now being charged with assault occasioning bodily harm. He is due to face Southport Magistrate's Court next week.
