Now sex addiction is a mental disorder
New Delhi, July 11,2018 :
In an announcement marked by WHO, sex addiction has been stated to be as a mental illness. The landmark move by the WHO could lead to treatment for compulsive sexual behaviour. Its inclusion on WHO’s International Classification of Diseases list comes a few weeks after gaming addiction was added.
WHO’s list mentions compulsive sexual behaviour disorder as a “persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges resulting in a repetitive sexual behaviour”.
Symptoms include sex becoming the “central focus” of the person’s life at the ignorance of health, personal care or interests and responsibilities. The behaviour should be clear for six months or more and later cause distress in individuals lives.

A resolution “mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes”.
Then the US delegation, sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breastfeeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.
When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions.
What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the US holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on the best way to protect infant and young child health.

Do not ignore gestational hypertension in the young
New research published in July 3 in Annals of Internal Medicine
shows that young women with gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia in their first pregnancy were twice as likely as other pregnant women to develop chronic hypertension decades later.
They also had a 70% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a 33% greater risk of developing hypercholesterolemia, even after extensive adjustment for prepregnancy confounders, such as body mass index, smoking, and family history.
Women who experience preeclampsia or gestational hypertension should tell their doctor and adopt a heart healthy diet and lifestyle–just like they would if they had a family history of cardiovascular disease–to reduce cardiovascular risk and delay disease onset.
