In Star Trek: Voyager‘s episode “Extreme Risk” (Season 5), B’Elanna Torres engages in self-harm behaviors and becomes a representation of individuals experiencing clinical depression. If we accept television as an educational tool, then this episode operates as a manual for recognizing the signs of depression in a loved one, and appears to offer suggestions on how one should offer support in such circumstances. The TV Doctor will discuss how to separate the messages in the episode that should hit home from the messages that should be left behind in the Delta quadrant.
Content Warning: Discussion of depression, anxiety.
About the Show: The TV Doctor is a journey through the ways in which television (yes, television) can help you through the trying times in your life. Join M. Foss (who is not a doctor on TV but plays one in real life) as she “prescribes” what you should be watching to alleviate your emotional ailments. Segments include Over-the-Counter (a televisual multivitamin, if you will), Second Opinion (where M. Foss welcomes a consult with a guest who is an expert on the episode’s topic), and Urgent Care (letters from the audience).

Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, now what?
Once your child has a formal diagnosis, the doctor will give you information about the condition and recommend a course of treatment. You will probably have some questions and concerns about your child's diagnosis and how ADHD will affect your child's health and life.
In this webinar, Dr. Arnold provides parents with information that they should know before their visit. He provides parents with information about different treatment options and ways parents can prepare to discuss the different options with their child's doctor.
