  • May is National Mental Health Month

    We recognize that people affected by mental illness face additional challenges dealing with COVID-19. Now, more than ever, it’s important to remember that there is no health without mental health. During these difficult times, we encourage you to take care of yourselves and check in on loved ones. You are not alone, and we will get through this together. —Daniel H.

These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others. If you have — or think you might have — a mental illness, the first thing you must know is that you are not alone. Mental health conditions are far more common than you think, mainly because people don’t like to, or are scared to, talk about them. However: 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year 1 in 25 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year 1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24 A mental health condition isn’t the result of one event. Research suggests multiple, linking causes. Genetics, environment and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life makes some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events. Biochemical processes and circuits and basic brain structure may play a role, too. None of this means that you’re broken or that you, or your family, did something “wrong.” Mental illness is no one’s fault. And for many people, recovery — including meaningful roles in social life, school and work — is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process. Millions of people in the U.S. are affected by mental illness each year. It’s important to measure how common mental illness is, so we can understand its physical, social and financial impact — and so we canshowthat no one is alone. Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn't always easy. There's no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness. Receiving A Diagnosis Knowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan. Unlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A mental health professional will use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition. After diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes. Each illness has its own symptoms, but common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents can include the following: Excessive worrying or fear Feeling excessively sad or low Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger Avoiding friends and social activities Difficulties understanding or relating to other people Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy Changes in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite Changes in sex drive Difficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don't exist in objective reality) Inability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality (”lack of insight” or anosognosia) Abuse of substances like alcohol or drugs Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”) Thinking about suicide Inability to carry out daily activities or handle daily problems and stress An intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance Mental health conditions can also begin to develop in young children. Because they’re still learning how to identify and talk about thoughts and emotions, their most obvious symptoms are behavioral. Symptoms in children may include the following: Changes in school performance Excessive worry or anxiety, for instance fighting to avoid bed or school Hyperactive behavior Frequent nightmares Frequent disobedience or aggression Frequent temper tantrums Receiving A Diagnosis Knowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan. Unlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A mental health professional will use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition. After diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes. Finding Treatment Getting a diagnosis is just the first step; knowing your own preferences and goals is also important. Treatments for mental illness vary by diagnosis and by person. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment. Treatment options can include medication, counseling (therapy), social support and education. If you have a mental health condition, you're not alone. One in 5 American adults experiences some form of mental illness in any given year. And across the population, 1 in every 25 adults is living with a serious mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or long-term recurring major depression. As with other serious illnesses, mental illness is not your fault or that of the people around you, but widespread misunderstandings about mental illness remain. Many people don't seek treatment or remain unaware that their symptoms could be connected to a mental health condition. People may expect a person with serious mental illness to look visibly different from others, and they may tell someone who doesn't "look ill" to "get over it" through willpower. These misperceptions add to the challenges of living with a mental health condition. Every year people overcome the challenges of mental illness to do the things they enjoy. Through developing and following a treatment plan, you can dramatically reduce many of your symptoms. People with mental health conditions can and do pursue higher education, succeed in their careers, make friends and have relationships. Mental illness can slow us down, but we don't need to let it stop us. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. https://www.nami.org/home

  • Cmte. on COVID-19 makes recommendations to improve passenger quarantine enforcement procedures

    Hawai‘i State Senate Special Committee on COVID-19 makes recommendations to improve passenger quarantine enforcement procedures The Hawai‘i State Senate Special Committee on COVID-19 issued a report today with recommendations to improve passenger quarantine enforcement procedures, following an oversight visit to the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and discussions with the Attorney General, Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), and the State Department of Transportation (DOT) officials. DOT Director Jade Butay, and Deputy Director Ross Higashi and Administrative Services Officer Ford Fuchigami (both Airports Division) updated the committee on its current process for disembarking passengers, including the necessary Department of Agriculture, HTA, and interisland declaration forms. The committee indicated its intentions to work with the impacted departments to ensure that these forms could be updated to collect further information that it believes will help to close gaps in the current screening and enforcement. This would include, among other updates, additional information to allow the DOT and HTA to verify the dates of departures for visitors. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA) confirmed that they would be working with DOT and HTA to make adjustments to its forms. HTA CEO Chris Tatum indicated that the agency is working with stakeholders to contract a database application to more efficiently gather, sort, and store the information currently collected through its forms and the state’s Safe Travelers app. The database would be searchable, and access would be provided to all law enforcement agencies. Current cost projections for this application are $26,000 and will be paid by the HTA, then reimbursed by HIEMA with CARES Act funding. Attorney General Clare Connors also provided an update on state and county procedures for the enforcement of the state’s 14-day quarantine, including specific cases of violations. Citing her presentation, the Special Committee requested that her office consider moving towards immediate fines, in an effort to strengthen the deterrence for violations. The committee also requested that the AG consider levying fines on hotels and homeowners tied to violations of the quarantine order. The committee also conveyed enforcement suggestions, some of which have come through proposals from the public. One such example is to have hotels withhold room keys, so visitors are unable to come-and-go without alerting hotel staff. Both the AG and HTA indicated that they believed such an approach would be legally sound under the current requirements of the 14-day quarantine and would aid in the enforcement of the order. Additionally, the committee suggested that visitors be barred from renting cars during the quarantine period. The AG stated that she believes that suggestion would also be legally sound under the Governor’s proclamation. The committee added that similar exemptions related to essential workers could be built into that order.

  • Hawai'i State parks re-opening for hiking and beach access but not gatherings

    The DLNR Division of State Parks is reopening select parks and monuments across the state with an emphasis on social distancing and exercise and continued restrictions on gatherings of any sort. The announcement is in line with Governor Ige’s emergency rules, as well as advice from the Hawai‘i Dept. of Health. State Epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park said, “In general, it’s a good idea to help with people’s mental well-being. The fact that these are outdoor/open air spaces with good ventilation means any risk of transmission will be greatly decreased. That said, a few of these do have lookout points or are trails that may not be wide enough at some points to accommodate 6 ft distance, so it will be important to remind people to keep moving and not congregate—i.e., as long as people are moving past each other, even if they’re within 6 ft of each other and not wearing a mask, we wouldn’t categorize those persons as anything but low risk at most and likely no risk”. DLNR Chair Suzanne Case commented, “The department is excited to cautiously reintroduce State Park access to Hawai‘i’s residents in this unprecedented time of virtually no out-of-state visitors. However, conventional park activities such as parties, gatherings, picnics, setting up on the beach, and camping are still not allowed. This public use is strictly for mobile activities such as hiking and ocean use to support our residents physical and emotional health during the stay at home mandate. For this reason, certain frequently visited parks and access to them remain closed.” “It is critical that people honor this intent and follow all social distancing practices and park area closures to eliminate gathering. State Parks strongly encourages residents stay within their own ahupua’a and neighborhoods rather than traveling across an island to another community’s remote State Park. Revenue losses require that certain gates remain closed. Inappropriate behavior and changing public health circumstances may require that certain parks be closed again, such as what has recently occurred at some parks on the mainland, “ added Curt Cottrell, DLNR Division of State Parks Administrator.

  • Med school students send ‘aloha’ to alumni on the frontlines

    At the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), the circumstances of COVID-19 have brought out the best in its MD 2020 and MD 2021 classes. Members of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) are paying it forward and launched the Aloha-19 Project, providing cards and care packages to 62 MD 2019 graduates, now interns working on the frontlines of the pandemic in Hawaiʻi and in other states. The Aloha-19 Project was brought to fruition with the intent of helping MD 2019 graduates “boost morale and let them know we are thinking of them, thankful for their service, and so, so proud and in awe of them,” said Shelly Wong, MD 2021 student and GHHS member. “I was so saddened by the COVID-19 situation and specifically thinking of the Class of 2019 and how this must make their intern year—an already difficult year—exponentially more stressful.” Sending aloha The JABSOM honor society will be sending ‘aloha’ to 62 interns—almost the entire MD 2019 class.Outgoing GHHS President Kayla Murata and incoming President Lucia Amore found ways to support the initiative. “We’ve all been working to make this project happen,” Amore said. “We’re lucky in that we have a solid JABSOM ʻohana behind us. Our GHHS chapter advisor, Dr. Damon Lee, has been supportive in helping us figure out the logistics of assembling these care packages in socially distant compliant ways.” The feedback from some of the MD 2019 class was that of gratitude: Laura (Kurata) Ling: “Thank you guys so much for doing this! My husband [MD 2019] Carlthan is on the special COVID team at his hospital and I’ve been working in the ICU, which is almost exclusively ventilated COVID patients. Any encouragement would be much appreciated. Super proud to be part of the JABSOM ʻohana!” Casey Young: “Aloha, from New York. Our city has been devastated by COVID. All the warmth and thoughts from afar really do help us stay strong.” Support such as Aloha-19 is a component of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, “…to nurture and preserve the tradition of the caring physician.” Established in 2002, the Gold Humanism Honor Society members model the humanistic qualities of integrity, excellence, compassion, altruism, respect, empathy and service. GHHS recognizes the practice of patient-centered medical care. This nurturing begins in medical schools across the country, with 160 chapters, including JABSOM. This act of kindness helped the JABSOM honor society recently earn an “exemplary” ranking, which was based on a questionnaire sent to the 160 GHHS chapter advisors who were asked to identify events, activities and programs designed or conducted by GHHS medical students. Murata added, “Together we are making our community a healthier and happier place, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.” Read the full story on the JABSOM website source: https://www.hawaii.edu/news/2020/05/05/jabsom-students-sends-aloha/ #covid19 #coronavirus #UHManoa #JABSOM #MedicalSchool

  • Update: Mandatory 10 percent water cutbacks for Wailuku-Kahului-Paia domestic water system

    The County of Maui Department of Water Supply has begun requiring customers on its Wailuku-Kahului-Paia system to reduce water usage by at least 10 percent as part of a Stage 1 water shortage declared last week. The Stage 1 declaration came after a Wailuku water pump failure over the April 25-26 weekend. The 10 percent cutback in water usage is mandatory until further notice. Under Stage 1 restrictions, consumers should postpone the washing of vehicles, irrigation of landscape or unnecessary water use at this time. “We were working to get our three well pumps on line when Wailuku Well No. 2 failed the end of April,” Department of Water Supply Director Jeffrey Pearson said. “This recent failure reduced our water production by an additional 2 million gallons per day, which is significant when combined with three other wells being out of service.” With four pumps out of service in the Central Maui-Paia region, the department’s capacity from those sources is down by as much as 6 million gallons per day. Water demand in the system area averages about 24 mgd. However, the department has increased production at other wells and at the Iao Water Treatment Plant to offset the loss of water from the four wells. “We hope to have a couple of wells back on line in the first half of this month,” Pearson said. “The department appreciates our customers’ support during these emergency conditions.” Consumers with water problems may call the 24-hour service line at 270-7633.
