child mental health problems that can help them get erased... or seal..... Or find me to be in perfect health

child mental health problems that can help them get erased... or seal..... Or find me to be in perfect health?
I just feel it's unfair that things that happen to one as a child affect them as adult... There are no laws for adult with child mental health problems that can help them get erased... or seal..... Or find me to be in perfect health as an adult? I had tried to kill myself two times.... both were big mistakes. What can I do... about it?

Do you mean help them "heal." Well it's a law of nature that childhood experiences affect someone as an adult. It has to do with brain development. You can't do anything about that, at least right now. What do you mean by "child mental health problems"? There are several laws in the US, that help adults get mental health help. For example, health insurance companies usually have to pay for mental health coverage and there are community mental health centers where you can get treatment. many therapists will also do sliding scale or reduced rates. If you have health insurance, you should find a therapist and get treatment there. Also perhaps go to a doctor for medication. If you are talking about ADHD or other "childhood" problems, then you can still get help for those as an adult. In fact in many cases it isn't diagnosed until adulthood. It sucks that you didn't get help earlier, but that's the way it is sometimes.

Mental health records are confidential. even if you are in the health care field, such as a RN, the records are confidential. The only way one can look at them is if they are treating them, such as the primary doctor or the RNs caring for you. There is something called the HIPAA act (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that protects individuals such as you, actually it protects ALL people. This particular act prevents anyone discussing your records unless it is for medical purposes. For instance, 2 nurses talking about a patient in the elevator. That is a HIPAA violation because others can hear. This act protects and secures health care data of individuals. Not a single person should know this information unless you divulged this information to them, or if they are "caring" for you in an medical environment and it is in your records, or the police could know if they were involved when you tried to commit suicide and they had to involuntarily commit you for a period. But, they are supposed to treat this info just as any health care worker. You can also have your records "flagged" when you go into the hospital for any reason or in a medical environment. You tell them at the admissions desk you want to do this, that you only want minimal ppl viewing your records (a lot of people who work in the health care industry does this, especially they are in a hospital where they work. This prevents "friends" from checking you out to see what's going on). What will happen is your record will be flagged, and they will trace it to make sure ONLY the people caring for you views your records. Anyone else can get in BIG trouble. Electronic records leaves a trace of everyone who views. If you find out anyone knows any info without you telling them, or if they are not caring for you, you can file a complaint and possibly sue. Hope this helps.

Medical records are confidential. By law no one can see them without your specific permission. It's not like a police record that is open to the public.
4 :
Many states have different retention laws for any type of medical/mental health record when dealing with issues that occurred under the age of 18. Some destroy the records two years after the person reaches age 18, some don't have a requirement to retain records of minors after 18, etc. It depends on the state you live in where and when the records will no longer be retained. Below is a state-specific chart you may want to check to see what in particular pertains to you. In situation where it is required you sign a release to search your background, such as in law enforcement or the military these entities would look for your past records. The other people who have given you a lot of information regarding HIPAA laws are totally correct. If no one asks about the information, they will not be able to access anything about you without your consent. You don't give your consent, they won't know. Good luck.

Is child support figured based on family policy health insurance or an individual premium

Is child support figured based on family policy health insurance or an individual premium?
My divorce decree states that I am the custodial parent and I am the one to supply health insurance. I have a family policy. My ex has now decided that he wants to be the 1 supplying her insurance which will make the child support go way down. He seesm to think that child support is based on an individual premium rather than family. Which is it?

1 :
I do not know where you live, but in Texas the monetary amount for child support is based on the income of the non-custodial parent. It is not affected by health insurance. Health insurance or responsibility for care is assigned by the court, but is often the responsibility of the non-custodial parent. If the custodial parent maintains a health insurance policy on the children, the non-custodial parent can be required to re-imburse the co-payments.
2 :
i think child support is based on how much the other parent makes so don't let him pay health insurance and double the child support and get really good insurance and send your child/children to a private school
3 :
Hi child support is based on the income of both parties involved and each state has their own formula on setting child support payments. If he thinks that his child support will go down because he is paying the health insurance, he is mistaken. Then only way it could go down is if you go back to court and revisit the child support issue. Some state have a limit, for instance you can only come back to court on child support issues every two years. You need to check with family court in your area regarding your question. I hope this information helps.
4 :
Well, your first issue is whether your ex can assume the cost of the insurance to lower his support obligation. If the decree says you will pay, he can't just unilaterally decide to do this. He needs to go back to court to the support order revised. IF the court for some reason permits him to assume the cost of insurance, then it will look at your state child support guidelines and determine how much support the child or children are entitled to. It's typical for the state of offset support obligation by the cost of insurance. The court will look at the ADDED cost of insurance. For example, if he already has to pay $100 per month to insure himself, and $200 per month to cover him and your daughter, he will only be permitted to offset the additional $100. Another issue in all this is whether the insurance he proposes to provide has as good coverage, and whether the company is as reliable in paying claims. Another issue is who pays medical costs that aren't covered (e.g., copays and deductibles). Bottom line is that he can't just decide to do this without going back to court.
5 :
He can get an individual policy on a child without it being part of a family policy. I know Blue Cross/Blue Shield provides this (especially handy for divorced parents living in different states). Yes, it is based on an individual premium or a family premium, whichever is less. My cousin pays about $90/month for the policy for his son (now 8). He did not have to have a family policy. If you are the one to supply insurance, via the decree, I don't see how taking over the insurance will change his support any. Health insurance frequently is a completely seperate issue for base child support (based on income).

Child Health Insurance

Child Health Insurance...?
OK... I still believe US is more advanced than Japan in most of the fields. But speaking of child health care, Japan has better system. In Japan, the health insurance covers 70% of medical expenses at any hospital. Even for a dentist too. Not covered for pregnancy and deliverance though. Anyway, it depends on where you live but some locoal governments pay for the rest (30%) for kids up to age of 12, which means you don't have to pay anything for kids' medical expenses. In Tokyo, you pay 0. Health insurance societies pay 70% and local governments pay 30%. If your kid is hospitalized, you only have to pay for food. In a small town in Nagasaki, you have to pay 7 dollars at most a month for kids' medical expenses, and the local government cover the rest. My question is... can't the US, the biggest and strongest country in the world, cannot do the same or similar things for kids??? I screwed up... I posted same questions... True. Those are paid from local tax. But don't you think they're helping each other? The Japanese government doesn't have to spend as much money as the States for Iraq War... Probably that made the difference. Japan has a bit more money (tax) to devide to local areas...

No, it's not up to the government to pay for all of those bastard children most of which were made just to get more welfare or because the parents didn't use caution. Besides, that's why Japan has well over 900 million people living on one small island.

We have the best Medical care in the World bar none. Nobody comes close. Now if you prefer we get 2nd rate care for more additional taxes, I'm here to tell you to go pound sand.
5 :
How about they do the same as I did which is to assume responsibility for the health and welfare of their own child? Since people weren't tripping over themselves to voluntarily remove the burden from me, why should I be forced to accept the financial burden of caring for theirs? If you can't afford to take care of children, don't have them. Go get sterilized.
6 :
move to Tokyo.
7 :
No, the US should not do the same because our government wasn't formed to support moochers, eventhough many people think they are entitled to get anything free that they can. If you can't provide for your children, you should not have children, or you should educate yourself to become marketable to a corporation that provides health insurance. You could also join the military. They have great benefits.

thank you amy for this information. as you can see from the sad and hateful answers that many people in america do not even like themselves. blame everything on a minuscule portion of the users of a system, rather than fixing it. deny everyone because of the misdeeds of a very few.

I am not a George W. Bush supporter. I believe the election of 2000 was stolen by the Supreme Court. The Iraq War was approved by Congress based on evidence that was tainted by none other than President George W. Bush. I think he should be impeached and removed from office. That said, I hate to say that he was probably right on this one. The federal government is operating at a deficit. Balanced budgets are not on the horizon anymore. This is not the time to pass a massive spending bill to cover children that don't need to be covered because they are already covered by their parents' existing policy. Cover only the children that need to be covered. Keep the others in mind for when the economy is stronger.

When the government pays for health care it comes from taxes. Taxes are paid by the citizens of the land (ie. you). When you say, "I want the government to pay for health care for me.", what you're really saying is, "I'm too stupid to spend my own money."

haha i saw that movie too, with dencil washington right? good movie

I see you watch TV in your spare time. I am sure you don't have much seeing it takes two jobs to afford health care insurance for your family. By the way, at the end of that episode the kid died because the dad was holding the gun on a janitor impersonating a doctor to steal drugs. Hah Hah. Excellent alternate ending huh?
6 :
From a moral perspective, I'd say yes, it would be okay to threaten the doctor with a gun, but not to actually shoot him. If you shot him, you'd just have to deal with a dead doctor as well as a dead son. From a legal perspective, you'd be in big trouble for drawing a gun in that situation. From a common sense perspective, it would be stupid to trust a doctor performing surgery at gunpoint. At best his hands will be shaky as hell.
7 :
Interesting scenario. You apparently have been stealing material from that Denzil Washington movie. It may come to that but there will be consequences of such an action. Menancing a medical doctor and forcing to work for free is basically a robbery-forced theft of service. The problem with the Second Amendment is that it connect well "regulated" militia to the ownership of arms. Everybody ignores the "regulated" and "militia" part.
8 :
You remember when McDonalds gave away those free chicken sandwiches? What happened then? And to answer your question, when the doctor then pulls his own gun and shoots you and your family is that self defense?
9 :
As it stands now, if you don't have health care or the money to pay for what you need done, then you don't have the right to it. Your gun idea will just get you three free meals a day.

what is a good way to feed a picky child a health(packed) school lunch

just tell them its no good for them and they will love it

well, you can always sneak a little of something in his sandwich, he won't even notice. say if he doesn't like celery, well if he likes tuna, make him a tuna salad sandwich, chop up the celery reall good, put the celery with tuna together and mayo, he won't know there's celery in it.
3 :
I'M A DAY CARE PROVIDER AND I WOULD SUGGEST THINGS LIKE RAISINS,APPLES,FRUIT ANY KIND,PEANUT BUTTER SAND,WITH MARSH MELLOW OR HONEY ON IT,APPLE BUTTER SAND,,THEIR ARE LOTS OF HEALTHY THINGS OUT THERE YOU MAY HAVE TO READ THE LABEL BUT I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE OH FAMOUS SCABBY SNACK THE MY KIDS LIKE ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUM
4 :
put carrot sticks and ranch in there. maybe put a granola bar or sumthing like that. put apples or grapes either one is good.
5 :
Ferero Roche might help... at least it could boost up he's morale for having any lunch...
6 :
try something healthy like cut up apples...with carmeal dip. try all kinds of fruit...even if its weird looking.
7 :
I WAS this picky child many years ago! I was a horrible eater - if it looked or smelled funny, I wouldn't give it a second look. My mother tried some creative ways to get me to eat more foods, and some of the actually worked well: ~If you make your child a sandwich, cut it into a fun shape. For example, a heart or a star. It's quick, easy, and your child will be more excited to eat their lunch if he/she knows what a special sandwich they get to have. ~There are fun child's snacks that can still be healthy. You can also use substitutions for certain foods that a pciky eater may cling to. For example, instead of Oreo cookies, try Animal Crackers or even the reduced fat version of Oreos...99% of the time, the child will not know the difference and you will still be able to provide them a healthy alternative. ~ In order to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies, try offering sliced pieces with a dip/dipping sauce. This makes it seem more appealing to a picky eater - combine something they may be hesitant of with something you know they like. For example, serve sliced apples with peanut butter for dipping; serve watermelon or cantelope with a flavored/kids yogurt; you can even do healthy snackfoods with an appealing dip - i.e. pretzel rods with melted chocolate chips (to make a dip). These are some ideas that helped me as a kid. Don't worry, kids grow out of this phase - I try lots of things and I am not fussy with food anymore (to a point! lol). I hope this helped you. Best of luck! :)
8 :
I also have a picky eater. What I do is take him to the store with me and we pick things out together. If kids have a part of deciding it is more likely not to be thrown away or given to another kid (trust me they do that). They might try and encourage their child to pick up so healthy things by letting them get somethings that maybe aren't there first pick. Like two healthy choices and one small snack that is not totally healthy. I think this helps to promote good choices later on. Good luck.
9 :
My son was VERY picky when he was little, to the point that I took him to the pediatrician. The doctor told me that little kids crave what their bodies need, and that over a period of time (say, a couple of weeks) they'll actually eat a fairly balanced diet. So, as long as she's not packing his lunch solely with junk food, she shouldn't be too worried. My son liked apple slices with peanut butter or caramel, and carrot sticks. Sometimes. He did go through a very long period of time where he had to have exactly the same lunch, no variations. It was pb&j, 3 Oreos, and a vanilla pudding cup. Now he doesn't eat sweets. Go figure. :)
10 :
Sit him down and have him help make a list of what he likes. Then make a list of what she likes. Then tell him, okay, now for every two we pick from your list, we pick one from my list. Give him an incentive!
11 :
You should have started your child out eating healthy then it would not be a problem.
12 :
Well I guess it depends on the childs, likes and dislikes. My son was also very picky (but is outgrowing it slowly). I would pack things that he liked at the time, and though some of them may not seem very nutritious, it had to be better than some of these lousy school lunches they are calling food and serving our kids. Anyway, I would give him mini carrot sticks and peanut butter (with honey), sometimes Vienna sausages or a Hot dog, pickles, and a sliced Apple, a small bottle of water or Whole Milk. Like I said, it may not sound very healthy, but it is better than them NOT eating all day and come home starving. Good Luck!
