Epidemiology
Currently I am reading textbooks dealing with advanced practice nursing that may sister had to study for her doctorate. So far the textbooks that I have read are very interesting, and I have decided to create some poems for each of the books. I am also thinking of writing some more textbook reviews as well. Here is the first poem dealing with 'epidemiology'.

Eating Disorders
The next lesson is on Eating disorders or as I like to think of it 'What do you think of me? or What do I think of me?' Body image is what these disorders are all about. About 30% to 60% of these cases are adolescents, and many are college females. There are several factors that are a part of these issues and they are overweight, depression, suicidal ideations and other issues that result from many reasons. In this area of abnormal psychology one must learn how to deal with socio-cultural media that causes dissatisfaction in aspects of living. Friends can also have effects in working through these kinds of issues. These disorders affect people of all ages from teenage to adult. Teens and American Indians have rates that are high for Eating disorders.

More on DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) or what used to be known as 'multiple personalities'. There are usually two or more relative personalities dwelling in the patient/client one being the 'host' or the primary personality that is that retain a given timeframe and identity to the person. The host can/could be passive, guilty, depressed, or a combination of these, but the alters or others are or seem to be aggressive, out-going, attention seeking and some can or could be aggressive and angry and persecutory, and/or protective towards the host personality. There can be conflicts between the alters for some are more dominate and take charge in a sequential way. One can tell when a alter or even the host is coming back this is known as 'switching' that only takes a few seconds in the form of blinking or a change in demeanor or caused by the psychosocial problems or stressors.
