"If you are Black and gay in South Africa, then it really is all the same closet…inside is darkness and oppression. Outside is freedom."
— Simon Tseko Nkoli
Content warning for suicide
In 1989, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term "intersectionality" as a way to describe her experiences as a black woman. It is meant to describe the complexity of experiencing multiple forms of marginalization and the ways in which multiple levels of oppression interact.
Born in 1957, decades before Crenshaw's Intersectionality Theory got its name, Simon Nkoli wouldn't have access to the term until much later in his life, if he learned it at all. That being said, Crenshaw, herself has said that the concept itself is not new. "So many of the antecedents to it are as old as Anna Julia Cooper, and Maria Stewart in the 19th century in the US, all the way through Angela Davis and Deborah King."
The term is fitting to describe Nkoli's work and experiences with oppression as a gay, black South African living through Apartheid.
From a young age, he was aware of what it meant to be a black man in South Africa. Raised by grandparents who worked for a white land-owner, he attended school in an attempt to find a way out. When his grandfather and the land-owner demanded he quit school to work full-time on the farm, he ran away to live with his mother and step-father in Sebokeng.
It was then that he became involved in politics; he became a member of the Congress of South African Students and joined the fight against Apartheid. As he discovered his own sexuality, he found there were limits to his work. When he came out, Congress took a vote to decide if he could continue to serve. Though he was allowed to continue, there were repercussions.
While his family claimed support, they could not handle it. When Nikoli began a relationship with a white bus driver named Andre, there were protests from both families. Where Nikoli's mother protested because he was gay, Andre's mother protested because he was black.
His family's attempt to "cure" him meant bringing him to religious leaders who would quote anti-gay scriptures. When that failed, they brought him to a psychiatrist—a gay psychiatrist who, rather than try and dissuade him from his relationship, offered counsel and support.
It was only when Nikoli and his partner made a suicide pact that his mother finally offered the men her approval.
During this time, Nkoli had also joined the Gay Association of South Africa (GASA). The group was primarily white and held the incredibly white stand of being apolitical. While Nkoli was heavily involved in the anti-Apartheid movement, the GASA refused to support him or discuss any of the race-related issues he brought up.
This came to a head when, during a rally for rent-boycott, Nkoli was arrested. He was among the twenty-one political leaders arrested in what was later called Delmas Treason Trial; all faced the death penalty if convicted. While in prison awaiting trial, his sexuality became public knowledge. His fellow prisoners demanded for him a separate trial, worrying that his sexuality would condemn the rest of them as it would him.
At the same time, the GASA was deciding whether or not to support Nkoli or allow him to stay in the group. While his fellow prisoners decided to stay on trial together, the GASA kicked him out and refused to support him.
Terror Lekota, another defendant in the Delmas trial later spoke of this experience:
"All of us acknowledge that Simon's coming out was an important learning experience…. How could we say that men and women like Simon, who had put their shoulders to the wheel to end apartheid, should now be discriminated against?"
In 1988, four years after his initial arrest, he was acquitted and moved on to found the Gay and Lesbian Organisation of the Witwatersrand (GLOW). GLOW learned from the mistakes of GASA, making sure to include black members especially in their leadership and support more than just white community members.
Nkoli also travelled extensively after his release, earning awards and visiting many other leaders, both queer and not. He was the first gay activist to meet with President Nelson Mandela. He was instrumental in making South Africa the first country to have gay rights enshrined in its constitution. It was in 1990 that he and Beverley Palesa Ditsie organized South Africa's first pride parade in Johannesburg. Nkoli said at this march:
"With this march, gays and lesbians are entering the struggle for a democratic South Africa where everybody has equal rights and everyone is protected by the law: black and white; men and women, gay and straight."
He later became one of the first gay men in the public eye to share that he was HIV positive. He founded Positive African Men based in Johannesburg and later died their due to complications from illness at the age of forty-one.
For most of Nkoli's life, he faced a clear divide, and the people around him tried to make him choose which part of himself to be most loyal to. He refused to make that choice, saying:
"I am black and I am gay. I cannot separate the two parts of me into secondary or primary struggles…. So when I fight for my freedom I must fight against both oppressions. All those who believe in a democratic South Africa must fight against all oppression, all intolerance, all injustice."
Any person who stands on the intersection of multiple marginalized identities can recognize this struggle. It's not an easy one to manage, but it is that balancing act that made Nkoli the leader he was. He was the first in many regards, and he made the room for the seconds, thirds, and fourths who came after him.

First Off…
Travel photography generally involves picking up a camera and taking shots while travelling. Who would have guessed? While this type of photography is mainly a hobby and doesn't usually involve any source of commercial income, it can vastly improve your skills with a camera in all different sectors of photography; this includes weddings, portraits, still life, everything. Now lets go on to why.
What's the deal?
The biggest step to getting better with a camera is actually using one. Every day people go out and travel to work, to their homes, to a holiday destination, maybe even to a spot to do a bit of landscape photography. The more you take your camera out with you and take shots along the way, the more in tune you will be with your equipment, and you'll end up seeing almost everything through the eye of a lens. Even when you don't have your camera with you, you'll curse yourself for seeing something you know would look amazing if you had captured it!
It's important to be able to use your camera in any situation if you're wanting to shoot weddings especially, and travel helps that. Constant light changes with the weather, situational and environmental changes all need you to be on top form to change your camera settings at a moments notice. When it comes to shooting portraits of people, you'll need to be able to see where the best available light is, where's best to place them as to not make them squint in the sun or be heavily shadowed. Taking a friend along your travels to get some quick snaps of can help you understand the way light works, and you can take this experience into almost any natural light setting.
So, here's some fundamental tips
Shoot Manually & in RAW
This is important. If you're shooting in auto, you're letting the camera do all the work and you're not giving it specific instructions on how you want a shot to look. The camera will be guessing on a shot, and while you can still get good shots in auto mode, it can still fail and not wield the results you're after. If you wanted a landscape image on a bright sunny day, you will get underexposed land and light skies in auto mode almost every time. In order to perfect your craft and not rely completely on your camera to take a well exposed shot with just the right amount of sharpness and depth of field you want, shoot in manual. You'll start to understand exactly what settings you'd need for a situation in no time.
Shooting in RAW is also imperative when you take your photos into editing software like Lightroom. If you've taken all your shots in JPEG, you're going to have a much harder time working with it when you want to do things like add exposure or bring up the black/shadows. This ultimately leads to a lot of grain, and a bad look. Shooting in RAW captures a lot more information, it's almost as if you've taken multiple shots and placed them into one image so it gives you the freedom to chose inbetween!
Edit Well
When it comes to the edit, this is where you can make a dull photo otherwise shine. We use Lightroom, which is what we'll mainly be referencing here when it comes to settings.
We recommend you look at your shot and think about what needs doing to it before you go crazy with the sliders and settings. When it comes to editing our shots, we like to bring out the colours with the vibrance and saturation sliders, add a peppering of clarity, then adjust the white balance, exposure, shadows, whites, blacks and highlights according to how we want the image to look. Too bright? Turn the exposure down. Highlights in the sky not epic and bright enough? Turn them up! Here's a little snippet of how much the edit can change the look of a shot.
Don't be afraid to play around with curves either, making an 'S' shape in the curves can wield good results. If you're looking for the haze-like instagram effect, this is the perfect place to try and achieve it. We'd also recommend playing with all of the different colours, sometimes there could be too much or too little of a colour in a shot, and with a simple slide on Lightroom you can change the entire look of a shot for the better.
You'll get nowhere without trial and error. Every professional photographer before you, during your time here on Earth, and ones that will come before you will fail with their shots repeatedly and forever. Photography is a constant learning curve, and through experimenting comes with your own style of photos.
What we're basically trying to get across is that you need to get out there. There's always a new photo to be taken in a way only you would and could. Constantly using your camera and becoming more in tune with it will help you in all forms of photography, you'll learn exactly what settings to use for almost any situation. We tried not to discuss specific settings or editing styles as we want people to experiment and develop their own style rather than do what we do. However, if you're interested in editing like us or want a few pointers, get in touch!
We hope this short blog has helped, so go forth and get some beautiful snaps while you travel!

The world's largest digital sky survey has released its second edition of data, a mammoth 1.6 petabytes of data that makes it the largest volume of astronomical information ever released.
Just for some context, that's equivalent to around 2 billion selfies or 15 times of the volume of the Library of Congress.
The Pan-STARRS observatory is a 1.8m telescope with a 1.4 billion pixel digital camera and is the first to observe the entire sky visible from the island of Maui multiple times, in many colours of light.
Among its many aims is to identify moving, transient and variable objects, such as asteroids that might threaten to crash land on Earth. But this data can also be used by astronomers to search for high-energy explosive events in the cosmos, discover moving objects in our own Solar System and even explore the time domain of the Universe.
"Pan-STARRS DR2 represents a vast quantity of astronomical data, with many great discoveries already unveiled. These discoveries just barely scratch the surface of what is possible, however, and the astronomy community will now be able to dig deep, mine the data, and find the astronomical treasures within that we have not even begun to imagine," said Dr. Heather Flewelling, a researcher at the Institute for Astronomy in Hawaiʻ, and a key designer of the PS1 database, in a statement.
The survey took four years to complete and the resulting data bank comprises 3 billion separate sources, including stars, galaxies and other celestial objects. The first data drop, PS1, featured all of the combined data, but this archive is the individual exposures at each epoch of time. The release, by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScl) in Baltimore and the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomy (IFA), goes out to any astronomers and even members of the public
"We put the universe in a box and everyone can take a peek," said database engineer Conrad Holmberg.
The survey data is being held in the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), which is NASA's repository for all of its optical and ultraviolet-light observations, some of which date to the early 1970s. It includes all of the observational data from missions like Hubble, Kepler, GALEX and a wide variety of other telescopes, as well as several all-sky surveys. Pan-STARRS marks the nineteenth mission to be archived in MAST.
"The Pan-STARRS1 Surveys allows anyone access to millions of images and catalogs containing precision measurements of billions of stars, galaxies and moving objects," said Dr Ken Chambers, Director of the Pan-STARRS Observatories.
"While searching for Near Earth Objects, Pan-STARRS has made many discoveries, from ʻOumuamua passing through our solar system, to lonely planets between the stars; it has mapped the dust in three dimensions in our galaxy and found new streams of stars; and it has found new kinds of exploding stars and distant quasars in the early universe. We hope people will discover all kinds of things we missed in this incredibly large and rich dataset."
The data can be accessed at http://panstarrs.stsci.edu.

Epoxy Floor Coatings Supply Arcata, CA
Industrial Floor Coatings
Eco-floor 1500 Coating and Repair Grout
An economical, fast-set hybrid epoxy floor coating with good UV stability, this 100% solids polymer offers great impact and wear resistance and excellent compressive strength, tensile, and elongation. Eco-Floor 1500 is ideal for concrete floor coatings for kitchens, food processing plants, showrooms, supermarkets, garages, airplane hangars, and more. The clear option is an excellent topcoat for stained concrete. FDA-approved for food-handling areas. Mfg., distributed and sold exclusively by Construction Systems Supply.
This pure solid low viscosity primer is a quick setting concrete sealer. Applying concrete sealers during winter and cold weather can reduce the effectiveness of the product; hence, we formulated SC-1100 to address exactly that product by increasing its cure rate. SC-1100 Fast Set is a 100% solids, low viscosity hybrid Novolac epoxy primers designed for deep penetration and sealing of concrete surfaces. This primer can reduce vapors that can cause bubbles on the concrete coating. SC-1100 Fast Set can be applied to green concrete as young as seven days based on ASTM F1869-10 with a moisture vapor emission of <10lbs.
Eco-floor SC3300
A durable, tough, ceramic coating, Eco-Floor 3300 is engineered for concrete and metal floors requiring superior long-term chemical resistance such as aircraft hangars, service garage floors, driveways, and automotive showrooms. Resistant to gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products, Eco-Floor 3300 is the ideal choice for harsh industrial floor environments, chemical environments, and secondary containment areas. In addition, this polymer coating serves as an excellent tank liner for solutions up to 98% sulphuric acid.
Crystal Loc
Crystal loc was made to help protect different types of concrete-based structures such as cement blocks, concrete slabs, underground vaults, basements, roofs, walls, pillars, sculptures, and more. Its deep penetration water-based formulation helps damage-proof any concrete surface without diminishing its natural look. Crystal Loc works best on structures where post-construction damage is not due to engineering and construction flaws.
Choosing The Correct Floor Coating
Both epoxy-based and polyurethane-based floor coating are both used to protect surfaces. Hence, as a business owner or manufacturer, you are probably wondering which one is best for your shop floor. While epoxy coatings and polyurethane coatings are sometimes talked about interchangeably in online discussion forums, they are two different types of floor coatings with distinctly different properties. Understanding these differences will help ensure you pick the best industrial floor coating for the job at hand.[/ImageWithContent]
Most industrial coatings can be bought as a two-part mixture, meaning you will be provided with the two of the main ingredients of the product separately. This type of coating is best whether you are using epoxy or polyurethane coating.
The Two Part Epoxy Advantage
One advantage of two-part floor coatings over ambient air-cured coating products is that they provide a stronger hold on surfaces. To understand how a two-part floor coating works, you first have to look at what is going on at the microscopic level of the floor surface.
Let us take a look at how this type of coating works by examining its effects on an existing old concrete floor that has been primed to be rebuffed with a new epoxy coating. When mixed and applied properly, the epoxy coating seeps into the porous concrete surface about 1/16th of an inch. The chemical reaction caused by mixing the epoxy resin (part 1) with the hardening agent (part 2) results in a curing process that hardens the coating and "welds" it to the concrete floor.
{If you were to saw out a 1'x1' section of a concrete floor coated with a two-part epoxy resin, you would see with the naked eye where the floor coating infused itself into the concrete about 1/16th of an inch. By cutting the concrete floor in half, one can observe how deep the two-part floor coating has penetrated the surface.} This deep penetration is the reason why most experts recommend it over other types of floor coatings.
However, you must be careful in buying epoxy or polyurethane-based floor coating as, although some manufacturers would claim that they can do just as well, you can only achieve the same results with two-part coatings. One-step epoxy coating and paint products contain the equivalent of pre-cured epoxy, and lack the activating agents needed to form a chemical bond with the substrate. It is undeniable that they will harden the surface, but you can assure that it cannot do it as well as two-part coatings can.
Polyurethane Coatings vs. Epoxy Floor Coatings
Epoxy-based coatings have been proven to provide better adhesion and chemical-proofing than polyurethane coatings. Nevertheless, both products can turn any surface scratch-proof in the same span of waiting time. While polyurethane coatings offer a higher resistance to UV lighting, their softer nature makes them more prone to gouging than epoxy floor coatings.
Hence, with its stronger binding, weather-proofing, and damage-proofing properties, epoxy-based floor coatings are a better alternative for industrial and commercial floors that receive heavy beatings on a daily basis.
Our heavy-duty industrial epoxy floor coating is not only 100% solid-based but possesses all the benefits of two-parts coating that we have mentioned in this article. They are formulated with rubber additives for added impact and wear resistance. These high-performance coatings are resistant to alkalis, gasoline, and other corrosive substances.
Let us help you decide on the perfect epoxy floor coating for your industrial needs by getting in touch with us through our website www.csscorp.net! Serving Arcata CA and surrounding areas!

Beating down the rise of the dating app with a big satirical stick, we absolutely love this hilarious series of Tinder clichés re-imagined in papercraft and watercolour.
If you've spent any time on a dating app, you'll recognise all the classics here: "Peace Sign at a Music Festival", "The Belfie" and, of course, "Man Holding Large Fish". Their image captions are hilarious too, like this one from "The Marilyn Monroe Quote": 'We get it, you're selfish, impatient, and a little insecure.. Now please, no more Marilyn Monroe quotes. #IActuallyDontWantYouAtYourBest'
Tink Tank is the collaborative brainchild of former housemates Bridget and Sofia. The project now spans both oceans and time zones, with one of the pair in Melbourne, and the other now in London – but wherever they are, we're hoping they're both still swiping because Tink Tank is one of our favourite accounts at the moment.
Check out some of the worst of Tink Tank's Tinder crimes in our photo gallery below, and be prepared to hang your head in shame when you realise how many you're guilty of too.

In Vienna, the public can talk to Wienbot, chatbot, which leads to the desired service when there are ambiguities regarding e-administration and e-government. Sindre Wimberger, the conceptual father of WienBoty, says that the latter provides short and clear answers to clear questions. This is mainly the case of older citizens who try to write online or using a smartphone. "They can ask him how to get to a particular hospital in the afternoon," explains Wimberger, who is convinced that using this technology locally can compete with foreign companies.
Andreas Rath from Ondewo notes that there is a lot of hope in the public sector in virtual assistants. In Finland, such a chatbot assistant helps in tax settlements. But they also have problems with them. "Many bots are useless" – he warns. "But our platform understands human language – what a person really is talking about and what they are trying to achieve in a conversation," says Rath, adding that it is important to understand people.
Vienna with technology
Do people know that they are talking with artificial intelligence (chatbotom)? Rath says it's not always. And even if they know, there are extraordinary things, as they learned during the collection of data for learning natural language. On a sample of 500 people, they were told that they were talking with artificial intelligence and half with a person. In fact, everyone was talking to a man, but they did not know. The chatbot's developers wanted to know if it was better for people to first show up to talk to a non-person or not. The first group was extremely difficult to understand what she wanted. Objects and thoughts were not constructed. "On the other hand, the man did not know what they want from him. And if this man does not know how artificial intelligence is, "Rath said. In the second case they were more human. Therefore, "it's better not to say that it's a chatbot". The Austrian company is very successful in chatbot coaching. Finnish tax assistant is a Finnish language, one of the most difficult languages in the world, taught in just eight weeks. They started with German, and "chatbot we also learned German dialects," says Rath. Currently, 18 different algorithms are tested in Russian, while Ukrainian and Slovenian are not tested yet.
In Vienna, the person is informed of the time when he can search for a new passport, when it expires, etc., Parents can apply for a kindergarten, report a migration to another address, order a parking card, etc.
They are also developing the Wien.at Live application, where you can find 400 free internet points, real-time information on public transport, potential crisis situations, urban and weather events. Thanks to the Mobility-Wiener Linien mobile application, the user can plan a route and buy a ticket. The route can be planned with all forms of mobility – on foot, public transport, taxis, bicycles – explains Ulrike Huemer. They did not even forget about older people. So in 140 apartments using the Internet of Things people measure pressure, control safety at home, sensors also detect whether a person is in need and the like.
Thanks to the application, citizens can also report urgent repairs to the city authorities. If there is a missing road sign or the hole is to be approached, the city is easy to take photos and provide information via the Sag & # 39; s Wien app. Since geolocation is also included in the latter, the competent authority immediately knows where to go. "Since we launched this service, we've received 300,000 reports, and we've terminated 97 percent of complaints last year," said Walter Palmetshofer of Urban Innovation Vienna.
Clicking on the cafe on the sidewalk
Vienna wants to have everything in common with geolocation in one place in 2022. If you want to organize a party on the street or set up a food kiosk, you can do it with just one click.
Photo of Fuerthner Christian, www.wien.gv.at
Matthias Griessenberger, creator of the Wien Gibt Raum application, says he wants to have Vienna in 2022 in one place, gathering everyone related to geolocation. "If you now see a car with a camera that goes around the city, do not worry, not Google. This is our car that records geolocation. We want to map space for different purposes. If you want to organize a party on the street, you can do it through the application. He will also be able to set up a kiosk with food or drink, a cafe on the sidewalk. And all with one click. We want to plan the city faster and better – he said. The whole system will be connected to all government offices and using artificial intelligence will be able to issue a permit within a few hours, because the system will know when the street is busy or when it is the least parked car and the like. Money is also needed for such a breakthrough.
Even if the startup company Alexandre Ebert Mostly AI, which solved the problem of large data, which is limited by the regulation on the protection of personal data, received one million euros of European money and a million euro of private capital, it is not comparable with American competition. It's almost nothing. In fact, European money is a big challenge. If Europe wants to accelerate its development in this area, it will have to change its strategy, Ebert said. Nevertheless, the company that has expanded to the other side of the Atlantic has a beautiful future in digitization. "Large data, which is largely unavailable after the adoption of the regulation on the protection of personal data, can be fully used. We have found a way to circumvent anonymisation, thanks to which we lose a lot of valuable data and invent synthetic data "- he explains. Any organization that wants to process the necessary data in a company can do it using synthetic data and software that is already available. They use it now not only in the medical and automotive sectors, but also in advertising because they can predict consumer behavior using synthetic data. Synthetic data is anonymous and suitable for large data and regulations. We can use this data, which is not directly related to any person, adds Ebert. Austrians did not start with digitization with a zero point. They did not detect hot water. Inspiration was taken from Barcelona, where the stigmas began.

Dry weather boosts Nottinghamshire asparagus crop
A Nottinghamshire asparagus grower says his crop has more than doubled thanks to the dry weather.
Richard Thomas, who farms in Blidworth, has picked the vegetable three weeks early, harvesting 50 tonnes to date, 30 tonnes more than normal.
It will only be profitable if the season finishes at the normal time in late June.
Mr Thomas hopes it will make up for his winter-affected sugar beet crop, which cost him £21,000.
"With the dry and sunny weather we've had [the asparagus] has just carried on growing," he said.
"I have a sneaky feeling it will run out of energy in early June rather than going right through to the third week in June."
The weather is providing mixed results for Nottinghamshire's farmers.
Earlier this year, John Hammond, from New Farm at Redhill, said the cold winter cost him £1m, after the snow and frost devastated his crop of leeks.
However, the warm spring has led to the biggest and best quality English strawberry crop in about two decades, growers say.

Mental illness and its fallout were recently the focus of the 15th Annual Academic Sessions organised by the Sri Lanka College of Psychiatry. Along with unravelling little known aspects of mental ill health the discussions also turned their lens on the media and its role in reporting on mental illness.
Going on the recent WHO revelations that 10-20% of children and adolescents experience mental disorders and half of all mental diseases begin at the age of 14, the Sunday Observer spoke to Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Lady Ridgeway Hospital, and Senior Lecturer Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Dr. Sudharshi Seneviratne .
Here she shares her insights drawn from her hands on experience of over three decades.
Q. The 15th Annual Academic Sessions held recently, organised by the Sri Lanka College of Psychiatry revealed little known aspects of mental ill health and mental disease . As a panelist speaker I understand, you too shared your views with a focus mainly on mental illness in children and adolescents. While mental illness and mental disease in adults has been clearly defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual published by the American Psychiatric Association, does this apply to children as well?
A. If I were to reply on a broad term I would say, yes. There is a special section on mental and behavioural disorders during childhood in the same DSM V. We also use the ICD -10 which is the UK equivalent for the diagnostic criteria. But, when it comes to disorders which are present both in children and adults such as depression, we do not have a specified criteria for children. We are governed mainly by the adult criteria. On the other hand, there is another classification which is called the 0-3 classification. This is a USA classification.
Q. What kind of mental illnesses do young children suffer from, usually?
A. There are a whole range of mental and behavioural disorders, which we can broadly divide into three groups:
1. Behavioural disorders- attention deficit disorder, conduct disorder
2. Emotional disorders- depression, phobias
3. Developmental disorders, autism, dyslexia
Q. What causes them in young children?
A. The aetiology is varied. Some are due to genetic causes e.g fragile x-syndrome is a genetic disorder with hyperactivity and learning difficulties. On the other hand, some have a clear relationship with social problems. The best example is Conduct Disorder. Most of them have multiple causes which are both genetic and environmental. For many, the direct cause is not identified.
Q. Are they treatable if detected early?
A. It depends on the condition. Some conditions like phobias and depression can be treated successfully. On the other hand conditions like autism need long term input for improvement, but they might continue to have symptoms even as an adult. Some conditions like learning difficulties will not need medical treatment but most would require behavioural and cognitive input.
Q. Do they require drugs like for adults or can they be treated with less rigorous treatment. Or behavioural therapy?
A. It depends on the diagnosis. If we diagnose a condition we try to manage with behavioural interventions as much as possible. This is according to guidelines. But, there are conditions like childhood schizophrenia or severe depressive disorder where the first treatment option will be with pharmacological treatment. The treatment is planned case based, and the best option or a combination of options will be used.
Q. If they do start using medications when will that happen? Are these medications additive?
A. The medications will commence once a diagnosis is made. Prior to starting medication the necessary investigations will be done and after starting we monitor for response and side effects. These medications are not additive. Many hold the belief that they will not be able to go out of the medication.
This is not correct. We need to use medication only if there is an indication and we will stop once they are better. Some medications might need to be used for a longer term.
Q. The WHO in its report says, worldwide 10-20% of children and adolescents experience mental disorders and half of all mental diseases begin at the age of 14 and three fourths by mid 20s. Your comments?
A. Yes, most mental illnesses begin during adolescence. The main disorders are depression, bi-polar illness and schizophrenia.
Substance use disorders also start at this age, but somewhat later in Sri Lanka. Some developmental disorders and attachment disorders start much earlier. The developmental disorders are from birth.
Q. At what age is a parent able to detect the first sign of a mental illness in a young child?
A. It differs according to the illness.
Q. Gender wise, are children of both sexes equally vulnerable or does one gender predominate the other? If so why?
A. There is a predominance of males affected by most of the childhood mental illnesses. The cause is not known.
Q. Can one inherit a mental illness?
A. Yes. However, the environment needs to be correct for some genes to express themselves. So, while some may develop a mental condition, others may not.
Q. What are the health impacts of mental illness in children?
A. There are many impacts on a child and his family. The behaviour of the child may be a challenge and would need input. Also, we need to consider areas such as speech, communication , mobility and even education. All of these areas have a direct effect. Other than these areas there can be problems with peer interactions, family interactions which can affect their day to day lives.
Q. Are they lasting? Can they be reversed?
A. It is variable. A child who has a mild impact, with good resilience and support can overcome some of these problems. Children who do not have support or who continue to experience further adverse effects will have long term consequences.
Q. Stigma. It has been said that effective treatment of a mental illness is often impeded due to stigma and the reluctance of parents to acknowledge that their child has a mental condition . This could result in them seeking therapies with non psychiatrists hoping for relief, which is dangerous. Do you agree with special reference to a school going child?
A. Yes. We see many parents who are reluctant to accept a diagnosis and wish to seek help from other agencies. There is also a delay in presentation because of the stigma.
Q. Can stigma undermine a child's self esteem? Can it also spill into the classroom, the school van, play ground?
A. Yes. We have seen many children who have been excluded from activities due to their illness. Teachers, school staff and peers bully them without understanding the reason for their behaviour. We have seen some children severely affected by stigma which has worsened their own illness.
Q. Can it affect the child's ability to concentrate?
A. Once a child is a victim of stigma he can react in different ways. He/she can either externalise the problem with aggression or they can internalise the problem as depression or anxiety.
Q. Does a hyperactive child fall into the category of a child with a mental illness?
A. Mere hyperactivity is not an illness. A definitive diagnosis of hyperactive disorder has to be made prior to labelling a child.
Q. As a specialist in adolescent health as well, do you agree adolescents are also vulnerable to mental ill heath?
A. Yes. Adolescence is a very vulnerable period as they are open to all sorts of influences and are impulsive.
Q. Who is best qualified to make an accurate diagnosis? A Psychiatrist? Psychologist? General Practitioner?
A. A medical doctor can make a diagnosis based on the criteria we discussed earlier. It is best to have an opinion by a Psychiatrist so the best treatment options can be explored.
Q. When a child/ young person is brought for examination to your clinic, what is the usual procedure?
A. We do a thorough study of the history of each case taking into account the parents, teachers and others closely connected with the child. We also observe the child in his or her setting. There are some assessments we carry out on paper with the child's involvement. If required further investigations will also be carried out.
Q. Sometimes, young people suffer from fears which superstitious parents believe are the work of the devil and they hold thovils etc to cast them out of the victims who become worse. Your comments?
A. We see this often in our practice. It is a superstition held by parents. There is no clear truth in it. At times parents' beliefs overflow to the children and they are also caught up in these thoughts. It is very difficult to address them at times.
Q. Your recent discussion was on the theme of "Psychiatry & The Media Towards better communication". Tell us what you think on the role of the media, especially, when reporting news on mental illness in children and adolescents?
A. I think it is very important that the public is aware of the concept of mental illness. It is a difficult area to report on, as many are unaware of the technical terms used in different presentations. Just because a child has an abnormal behaviour does not qualify him to be diagnosed as having a mental illness. Unfortunately, some media personnel come to their own conclusions and highlight only the mental illness aspect. It is very important to clarify facts prior to reporting. If there is a doubt it is best to get an opinion from a psychiatrist and then report on this.
Q. Do you see any gaps in the present delivery of services in the area of mental illness in children and adolescents?
A. We have many areas that need to be improved. The services are not well distributed around the country as we have only very few trained child psychiatrists.
To overcome this, all adult psychiatrists also see children and adolescents. Specialised behaviour therapies take much time to be delivered to patients. So, the consultation time to see a child will be longer. In addition, we have only a limited number of psychologists, speech therapists and occupation therapists. It is important that these children are seen by a multidisciplinary team.
Q. Have you a word of advice to share with parents ?
A. If there are concerns about your child it is best to seek the opinion of an expert without delay.
