Pandemics That Changed History

 Pandemics That Changed History

As human civilizations rose, these diseases struck them down.

1350 The Black Death

Communicable diseases existed during humankind’s hunter-gatherer days, but the shift to agrarian life 10,000 years ago created communities that made epidemics more possible. Malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, influenza, smallpox and others first appeared during this period.

The more civilized humans became, building cities and forging trade routes to connect with other cities, and waging wars with them, the more likely pandemics became. See a timeline below of pandemics that, in ravaging human populations, changed history.

Here's the Pandemic Timeline:

Spanish Flu - Symptoms, How It Began & Ended - HISTORY

Spanish Flu - Symptoms, How It Began & Ended - HISTORY: The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.

"By the summer of 1919, the flu pandemic came to an end, as those that were infected either died or developed immunity.

Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced they’d discovered what made the 1918 flu so deadly: A group of three genes enabled the virus to weaken a victim’s bronchial tubes and lungs and clear the way for bacterial pneumonia.

Since 1918, there have been several other influenza pandemics, although none as deadly. A flu pandemic from 1957 to 1958 killed around 2 million people worldwide, including some 70,000 people in the United States, and a pandemic from 1968 to 1969 killed approximately 1 million people, including some 34,000 Americans.

More than 12,000 Americans perished during the H1N1 (or “swine flu”) pandemic that occurred from 2009 to 2010. The novel coronavirus pandemic of 2020 is spreading around the world as countries race to find a cure for COVID-19 and citizens shelter in place in an attempt to avoid spreading the disease. .

Each of these modern day pandemics brings renewed interest in and attention to the Spanish Flu, or “forgotten pandemic,” so-named because its spread was overshadowed by the deadliness of WWI and covered up by news blackouts and poor record-keeping."

Should You Be Assessed For ADHD? with Dr Stephen Humphries - Harley Therapy

According to research, about 4% of the population has ADHD in adulthood, and less than 1% of this is diagnosed.

The symptoms of ADHD in adults and children can be quite different. In adulthood if you have ADHD, you may feel that you have always been a little different, you might be described as a 'daydreamer' or you might rely on stress to get things done.

He has practised general adult psychiatry at consultant level within the NHS for 23 years, including seven years as a Medical Director.

How ADHD Treatment Is Not ADHD Friendly

I wasn't sure if I was going to share this because it's very raw and personal, but I decided it's important to. If you resonate, comment. Share. Let's let others with ADHD know they're not alone in this struggle and help mental health professionals understand what we go through. Let's make some change.

What Happened When I Stopped Taking My Medication

As much as my meds help me, it’s a battle to remember to do all the things I need to do to be able to take them: sign up for health insurance, pay my bill, make a doctor appointment, GO to that appointment, get my prescription, find a pharmacy that can fill it, remember to pick it up before it closes, remember to bring my ID so they’ll let me...

So when I miss a step and find myself without my meds, it’s easy to wonder...are they really necessary?

This is what happened when I forgot to pay my health insurance, stopped taking my medication for two weeks and tried to learn how to live without it.

Please share -- because the stigma is real, and no one should have to feel ashamed for getting the treatment they need just because their disorder is mental rather than physical, invisible rather than obvious.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s time we acknowledge that.

*NOTE* -- I do not recommend going off medication without a doctor's supervision. A medical professional should be accessible to troubleshoot problems. If you can't reach your doctor, talk to a pharmacist.

Why Stimulant Medication Helps ADHD -- and How Stigma Can Hurt

I decided to ask Dr. Carolyn Lentzch-Parcells (www.gtw-health.com) to come talk about stimulant medication -- and help bust some of the stigma that keeps people from treating their ADHD.

ADHD in Women

ADHD is the same condition across genders. So why does it affect different genders differently?

What Does It Mean to Have "Burnout"?

People talk about Burnout a lot. But what does it actually mean to have Burnout? In this video we answer that question!

ADHD Burnout is the same with just simply trying to cope with life.

ADHD: Why Do We Hold Ourselves to Neurotypical Standards?

Being more neurotypical does not equal being more valuable. We need to stop telling ourselves (and others) that it does.

Quotes from the Comments:

"Having ADHD feels like working twice as hard just to do half as much as everyone else." - Alan the Dinosaur

"...my husband says, "You're playing on hard mode." He says, "don't compare yourself to others because you have to play on hard mode and they might be on standard settings... Makes me feel better about myself. That I'm not flawed, my life is just on hard mode, and I'm doing doing the best I can." - Caitlyn O'Sullivan

"I’m often reminded of this one comic about the educational system. There’s a variety of animals standing in a line, a songbird, a monkey, a penguin, an elephant, a fish in a bowl, a seal, and a dog. Across from them is a man who tells them: - “For a fair selection everyone has to take the same exam: please climb that tree” - Gulf Giggle Animations

‘I blamed my mother’: How residential school trauma passed down generation to generation

‘I blamed my mother’: How residential school trauma passed down generation to generation

Video: How residential school trauma passed down generation to generation (Global News)

In his case, North Peigan said his parents' suffering had been passed down generation to generation. To him and now his children.

North Peigan, 57, president of the Sixties Scoop Indigenous Society of Alberta, and the newly named national president of the Legacy of Hope Foundation, is from the Piikani First Nation in Treaty 7 territory in southern Alberta. Both of his parents were forced to attend an Indian Residential School (IRS).

The discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children found in an unmarked burial site at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., brought back a flood of emotion.

"It's been really, really traumatic," said North Peigan, from his home in Edmonton, Alta. His parents survived the residential school system but the years following the return to their community were marred by the scars unseen.

North Peigan and his siblings were taken from their home during the Sixties Scoop, a government policy that forcibly removed Indigenous children from their birth parents and sent to foster homes and other families for adoption.

North Peigan said he lived in a number of different foster homes and it wasn't until he aged out of the child welfare system in 1978 that he was able to return back to his first nation.

"I came home with a lot of anger and a lot of rage," said North Peigan, "because I blamed my mother -- that she wasn't able to keep our family together.

How a shocking environmental disaster was uncovered off the California coast after 70 years - CBS News

How a shocking environmental disaster was uncovered off the California coast after 70 years - CBS News: The lasting effects of DDT contamination are killing an alarming number of California sea lions.

Just 10 miles off the coast of Los Angeles lurks an environmental disaster over 70 years in the making, which few have ever heard about. That is, until now, thanks to the research of a University of California marine scientist named David Valentine. 

Working with little more than rumors and a hunch, curiosity guided him 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface. A few hours of research time and an autonomous robotic submersible unearthed what had been hidden since the 1940s: countless barrels of toxic waste, laced with DDT, littering the ocean floor in between Long Beach and Catalina Island. 

The fact that his underwater camera spotted dozens of decaying barrels immediately in what is otherwise a barren, desert-like sea floor, Valentine says, is evidence that the number of barrels is likely immense. Although the exact number is still unknown, a historical account estimates it may be as many as a half a million.
