Being mentally healthy during childhood means reaching developmental and emotional milestones and learning healthy social skills and how to cope when there are problems. Mentally healthy children have a positive quality of life and can function well at home, in school, and in their communities.

Mental disorders among children are described as serious changes in the way children typically learn, behave, or handle their emotions, which cause distress and problems getting through the day. Many children occasionally experience fears and worries or display disruptive behaviors. If symptoms are serious and persistent and interfere with school, home, or play activities, the child may be diagnosed with a mental disorder.

Mental health is not simply the absence of a mental disorder. Children who don’t have a mental disorder might differ in how well they are doing, and children who have the same diagnosed mental disorder might differ in their strengths and weaknesses in how they are developing and coping, and in their quality of life. Mental health as a continuum and the identification of specific mental disorders are both ways to understand how well children are doing.

This week is Children's Mental Health Week.

As parents and carers, there are ways we can support our children to give them the best chance to stay mentally healthy.

Encouraging and guiding a child to think about their own mental health and wellbeing are vital skills you can teach them from a young age.

Every day this week we will sharing ways to show how you can help a child to have good mental health, including knowing how to talk to a child about their mental health, and when to spot signs they might be struggling.

This month it is Raynaud's Awareness Month!

Up to 10 million people in the UK have a form of Raynaud's and yet our research shows that nearly half of UK adults don’t know any of the signs of Raynaud’s disease. That's why it's so important that we continue to raise awareness.

Throughout February we will be giving you information, advice and support to help those who may be in contact with people suffering from this disease.

The treatment of kidney cancer depends on the size and spread of the cancer. Surgery is the most common first course of action, with the aim of removing the cancer cells.

Unlike most other cancers, chemotherapy isn’t very effective in treating kidney cancer. However, there are non-surgical treatments available, such as radiotherapy or targeted drug therapies.

The main treatments for kidney cancer include:

- nephrectomy
- embolisation
- radiotherapy
- targeted therapies
- immunotherapy

You can expect to be cared for by a multidisciplinary team, often comprising a specialist cancer surgeon, an oncologist (who specialises in radiotherapy and chemotherapy), a radiologist, a nephrologist (a kidney specialist) and a specialist nurse.

You’ll be given a key worker, usually the specialist nurse, who will be responsible for coordinating your care. Your team will recommend what they think is the best treatment option, but the final decision will be yours.

When deciding what treatment is best for you, your doctors will consider:

- the stage and grade of your cancer (how big it is and how far it’s spread)
- your age and general health
- If the cancer hasn’t spread out of your kidney (T1 or T2 kidney cancer), it can usually be cured by removing some or all of the kidney.

If the cancer has spread out of your kidney (T3 or T4 kidney cancer), a complete cure may not be possible. However, it should be possible to slow the cancer’s progression and treat any symptoms.

Radiotherapy can’t usually cure kidney cancer, but it can slow down its progress and help reduce pain. You should only need a few minutes of radiotherapy every day, for a number of days. When radiotherapy is used to control the symptoms of cancer rather than cure it, the side effects tend to be mild. Possible side effects may include fatigue (tiredness), nausea and vomiting.

Cryotherapy involves killing cancer cells by freezing them. It may be used if a person isn’t fit enough for surgery, or if their tumour is small.

Asbestosis is a chronic (long-term) lung condition caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a general term for a group of minerals made of microscopic fibres. In the past, it was widely used in construction.

Asbestos can be very dangerous. It does not present a health risk if it is undisturbed, but if material containing asbestos is chipped, drilled, broken or allowed to deteriorate, it can release a fine dust that contains asbestos fibres.

When the dust is breathed in, the asbestos fibres enter the lungs and can gradually damage them over time. For asbestosis to develop, prolonged exposure to relatively high numbers of the fibres is necessary. However, it is not the only factor, as many people avoid getting asbestosis, despite heavy exposure.

Breathing in asbestos fibres may eventually scar the lungs of some people, which can lead to a number of symptoms, including:

- shortness of breath – this may only occur after physical activity at first, but it can eventually become a more constant problem
- a persistent cough
- wheezing
- fatigue (extreme tiredness)
- chest pain
- in more advanced cases, clubbed (swollen) fingertips

Nowadays, most people who are diagnosed with asbestosis were exposed many years ago, before there were effective controls on exposure to asbestos fibres in the workplace.

See your GP if you have the above symptoms and you think you may have been exposed to asbestos in the past.

Asbestos is a general term for a group of minerals made of microscopic fibres. Materials containing asbestos used to be widely used in construction, because they are strong, durable and fire-resistant.

There were three main types of asbestos in commercial use:

- crocidolite (‘blue asbestos’)
- amosite (‘brown asbestos’)
- chrysotile (‘white asbestos’)

All these types of asbestos are hazardous if a material containing them becomes damaged and the fibres are released into the air.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a long-term (chronic) condition in which the spine and other areas of the body become inflamed.

The symptoms of AS can vary but usually involve:

- back pain and stiffness that improves with exercise and isn’t relieved by rest
- pain and swelling in other parts of the body, such as the hips, knees and ribs
- fatigue (extreme tiredness)

These symptoms tend to develop gradually, usually over several months or years, and may come and go over time. In some people, the condition gets better with time, but for others it can get slowly worse.

In AS, various areas of the spine and other joints become inflamed.

As well as causing pain, stiffness and swelling, this inflammation can damage affected areas of the body over time, and in some cases can lead to some of the individual bones of the spine fusing (joining together). This fusing of the spine is known as ankylosis.

It is not known what causes the condition, but there is thought to be a link with a particular gene known as HLA-B27.

AS tends to first develop in teenagers and young adults. Most cases first start in people aged 20-30, with only a minority of cases first affecting adults over 45. AS is around three times more common in men than in women. There are around 200,000 people in the UK who have been diagnosed with the condition.

Research has shown that more than 9 out of 10 people with AS carry a particular gene known as human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27).

Having this gene does not necessarily mean you will develop AS. It is estimated that 8 in every 100 people in the general population have the HLA-B27 gene, but most do not have AS.

It is thought that having this gene may make you more vulnerable to developing AS, and the condition is triggered by one or more environmental factors – although it is not known what these are.

Testing for this gene may be carried out if AS is suspected. However, this test is not a very reliable method of diagnosing the condition because some people can have the HLA-B27 gene but not have ankylosing spondylitis.
