WHAT IS CEREBRAL PALSY?
Cerebral palsy is a cogenital disorder which affects movement,posture, muscle tone and speech.

Is cerebral palsy genetics or not?
From its causes, one can say cerebral palsy is not genetic as you might think.

It is cause as a result of brain injury due to insufficient intake of oxygen into the brain during difficult birth, stroke, low blood sugar level, head injury, brain infection etc.

Most CP is majorly caused by insufficient intake of oxygen during difficult birth.

The foetus can also be affected when viruses like German measles cytomegalovirus, herpes infect the placenta and entered into the foetus during pregnancy.

How do you identify a CP person?
They have imbalance posture muscle tone and movement

Can CP be cure?
Their is no cure for CP but it can be treated with medications, therapy and sometimes performing surgery if the cause is related to head injury. All this treatment helps to improve their motor cognitive skill ability.

Types of CP
There are five major types of CP depending on the mobility limitations and affected body parts. The severity determine the symptom and treatment plan.

1.spastic
2. Ataxic
3.Athetoid
4. Hypotonic
5. Mixed CP.

It is traumatizing to lose a family member who just slump and die, only to find out that they can actually be safe by simple basic knowledge of A. B. C
A means Airways
B means Breathing
C means. Circulation.

These are basic steps of carrying out CPR inorder to ressuciate a dying or collapse person.
I shall discuss the basic ways of performing CPR in my next outline.
Thanks all.

Good morning folks hope you all slept well, eight hours of good sound uninterrupted sleep with some glass of warm water in the morning,little exercise to tone up the muscle and atleast a fruit with an adequate balance diet is all your body need to function effectively and to also boost your immune system to fight antibodies.
Remember stress kills fast, nobody is indispensable.Take time to relax with your family and friends,life is worth living for the moment. Worries,challenges and pains are gift of nature,you can't let it defeat you by draining in it, rather shake it up because what ever goes up must come down,change is the only constant thing in life.
Do have a great day.

The past few months have been quite challenging due to increase in numbers of stroke patients in my care.
However, from my research analysis I discovered that depression and diabetes are some of the underlying causes.
Please I urge everyone to take very importantly their mental health condition and blood sugar levels seriously in order to avert the sudden surge of blood pressure failure.
Thanks.

The past few months have been so pathetic due to increase in number of stroke patients in my care.
From my research analysis I discovered that most of the underlying causes are due to depression and diabetes.
Please let's endeavour to pay attention to our mental health and also our blood sugar level.
Thanks.

I sometimes find myself getting so irritated to dirt and unclean environment,and afterwards making sure my environment is clean and orderly. I got so obsessed with orderliness and cleaningness that it now becomes a compulsive behavior. It later done on me that even as a therapist am suffering from OCB/OCD. i.e Obsessive Compulsive Behavior or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

What is OCD?
These are repeated, persistent and unwanted thoughts,urges or images that are intrusive and causes distress or anxiety which have become a ritual or an obsession.

Causes
1.genetics and hereditary
2.learned behavior which have become repetitive and habitual
3.chemical, structural and functional abnormalities in the brain.

Symptoms
1.trauma
2.severe grief
3.fears
4.obsession
5.compulsion.

Examples of OCB/OCD
1.repeatedly checking on loved ones to make sure they are safe
2.counting, tapping, repeating certain words,or doing other senseless things to reduce anxiety
3.spending a lot of time washing or cleaning
4.ordering or arranging things.

Having OCD is very normal but when it becomes severe it can lead to depression or mental illness due to its root cause. Mine is partial because the root cause was as a result of learned behavior which became repetitive and habitual, which brings relief.

Cure
The major cure to this disorder is either seeking the service of a psychotherapist or the use of medication. Also food rich in protein,nuts and grains will help alot.

Neurological disorder people will do well in regular schools than the special ones because this will help their cognitive behavior,boost their memory span and increase their chance of kinematics concentration and competitive tendency. Please let's create an avenue for them in regular schools by seeking the services of specialist/therapist who will see to their development.
