Hi Elaine. Can you please
 * click here and read the instructions
 * put each of your proposed edits here, along with the name of the article it is going into, and
 * let me know on my talk page if you'd like me to look at something.

Making citations is quite easy, once you've read the instructions. Be sure your contribution is not already covered in the article, and consider whether it might be more appropriate in another (more general or more specific) article. Contact me on my talk page when you want me to approve an edit or if you have any questions. Anthony (talk) 15:42, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

If there are any problems at all please let me know so I can improve. Below are the edits that I would like to make. Thanks! Elaine

Article: Eye Contact

People with a chronic mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar and depression may also find engaging eye contact with another individual difficult due to the severity of their illness. Eye contact forms a huge part of communication, a person with schizophrenia may be so over whelmed by their delusions or hallucinations that they will find it very difficult to communicate.

Article: Risperidone


 * 1) "is sold under the trade name Risperdal in the Netherlands, United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and several other countries, " this sentence is already in the text. Would it be correct for me to edit and insert "Ireland" as another country. It that edit enough??
 * 2) "Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic..." can i edit this to say that;Risperidone is a second generation atypical antipsychotic drug...

Article: Dyskinesia


 * 1) "Dyskinesia is a movement disorder which consists of effects including diminished voluntary movements[1] and the presence of involuntary movements, similar to tics or chorea." I would like to add: Dsykinesia can be anything from a slight tremor of the hands to uncontrollable movement of most commonly the upper body but can also be seen in the lower extremities. Discoordiation can also occur internally especially with the respiratory muscles and it often goes unrecognised.
 * 2) "When a dyskinesia occurs after treatment with an antipsychotic drug such as haloperidol (Haldol) or amoxapine (Asendin), it is known as tardive dyskinesia (TD), and is sometimes seen in the face and mouth in the form of 'tongue rolling'." I would like to edit this to... Late onset dyskinesia, which is also known as tardive dyskinesia occurs after treatment with an antipsychotic drug such as haloperidol (Haldol) or amoxapine (Asendin). The symptoms include tremors and writhing movements of the body and limbs but is also seen in the face and mouth in the form of 'tongue rolling'. It may also involve unvoluntary lip smacking, repeditive poting of the lips and tongue protrusions.

Article: Seclusion

I would like to add the below as an extra paragraph at the end: Seclusion must only be used in the best interest of the patient, it must only be used as a last resort method and must not be prolonged as a form of punishment on the patient. In Ireland, The Mental Health Commission governs seclusion in psychiatric institutions. The Act states that a person can only be placed in seclusion if, 1. It prevents them from hurting themselves and/or others and 2. That it compies with the rules set out by the Commission.

Article:Addiction

Addiction can also be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it. Pleasure and enjoyment would have originally been sourced, however over a period of time involvement with the substance or activity is needed to feel normal.

Article:Anxiety

Anxiety is something that is experienced by everyone at some stage and is a normal experience. The level and reasoning for it to be prevelent determines whether or not it is a normal or abnormal reaction
