Description Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma  This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course pivots around Multiple Sclerosis, often called MS in short, an enfeebling condition characterised by possible symptoms ranging from movement anomalies, especially in the limbs, to an absence of balance and sensation. MS primarily impacts the spinal cord or brain and both in certain circumstances. MS is a chronic condition with no ultimate cure. Patients with MS may have moderate to severe disabilities, and their life expectancy may be lowered. However, it may be relieving to know that MS is not fatal. Many treatment options aim toward managing symptoms, enabling patients to lead a healthy and everyday life. The UK has recorded over 100,000 individuals diagnosed with the condition. Although there is no definite age for a person to be diagnosed with MS, the trends point toward individuals between the 20s to 30s. Moreover, there is a threefold increase in the likelihood of women getting diagnosed than men. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course aims to acquaint you with a deep understanding of MS and teach ways to extend your support to an individual or loved one who has fallen prey to the condition. People who are suspected of having MS should first consult their GP to rule out the possibility of other states. After running the required tests, the GP may redirect the candidate to a professional who specialises in the nervous system, called a neurologist. The neurologist may next do an MRI scan, and other procedures to rule out MS. 8 out of 10 people have relapse-remitting MS, which is characterised by new and worsening symptoms, often referred to as relapses. These symptoms usually worsen over a while, lasting weeks or, in severe cases, even months. In the unfortunate case of an individual undergoing relapse-remitting MS over several years or decades, they may experience secondary progressive MS (SPMS). SPMS is characterised by deteriorating symptoms but without evident attacks. Nevertheless, specific individuals may be bombarded with irregularly occurring relapses. 5 in 10 people ill with relapse-remitting MS develop SPMS. Moreover, the longer an individual has this condition, the higher the risk. At the outset, this Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course sheds light on the definition of Multiple Sclerosis, enumerates its types, states its prevalence and elucidates its diagnoses. The course goes on to delve deep into the process of diagnosing MS, the accessible treatments, resources and support. It provides an insight into the responsibilities of specialists who treat patients with MS. In the concluding chapters, you will be acquainted with the typical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, their effects on people, and ways to manage them. Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 100,000 individuals in the United Kingdom alone. This course is apt for individuals serving in the health care industry, especially those who have just started to care for patients with MS. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course will decipher the intricacies of MS, elucidating its causes and consequences, plus ways to identify symptoms and tips for management of those symptoms. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course is outlined to instil confidence in those wanting to extend emotional and physical support to an individual or loved one who has fallen victim to this enfeebling condition.

Description Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma   SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a kind of depression with a seasonal occurrence. It is occasionally referred to as the 'Winter Depression' because the patient's symptoms are typically more noticeable during winter. Thousands, maybe even some of your colleagues, suffer from it. Elearncollege's Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma programme will equip participants with the information necessary to identify various psychological disorders with an emphasis on SAD. Participants will understand and get basic training in the assistance/therapy offered by professional psychology practitioners. This program will help the participants initiate a helpful dialogue with a needy person, and they will know the right time to refer them to necessary professional treatment. Our Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma program is intended to assist you in gaining a better understanding of SAD and other common mental illnesses and their treatment. The program will also discuss SAD's symptoms and causes in addition to standard treatment techniques accepted worldwide. Globally, depression is among the most prevalent mental health diseases, although few people understand it. The Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma programme is designed to increase participants' awareness and understanding of recognising SAD symptoms and preparing them to assist a victim of SAD. When the days are shorter and the weather is cooler, many people experience depression. For many, symptoms are transient but will be permanent. Parents trapped indoors with angry or sick kids may experience an increased sensation of weariness, or a short temper is not unusual on a dismal winter day. However, for some, these symptoms might be highly incapacitating. SAD is much more than what is known as winter blues in the winter. It is a kind of depression that occurs during a particular season, generally during the winter, and then subsides. SAD shares many symptoms with common depression. These symptoms vary in characteristics and severity and can easily wreak havoc on an individual's personal and public life, dragging the patient into the deep dark circle of depression. Fatigue, a persistently depressed mood, lack of enthusiasm, excessive or inadequate sleeping tendencies, desire and consumption of more carbohydrates and sweets, excess weight gain, deep feelings of despair or helplessness, and suicidal thoughts are all symptoms of SAD. The Seasonal Affective Disorder awareness diploma programme educates participants about this prevalent psychological condition. The program contains pertinent information for those who have suffered from SAD and wish to understand it better. In addition, the Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma is necessary for those who have close ones suffering from SAD and are looking for the essential information and training to take care of them. Additionally, the Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Diploma programme is a fantastic course for anybody interested in pursuing a career in counselling or psychotherapy.

The Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Diploma course also discusses the typical treatments for BPD, the limitations of the healthcare system in treating BPD, and alternative treatments that are available that can help people alleviate the symptoms of the disorder. The mental health condition, just like many other mental health conditions, is shrouded in misconceptions and myths, which are all too common. The course tries to clear this mystery by looking at these common misconceptions and showing what the condition is, including the treatment of such disorders in the media and the negative impacts this brings on people's perception of the illness.

Description Endometriosis Awareness Diploma  The medical condition known as Endometriosis affects about 2%-10% of women of a particular age range- those who can conceive. It is a medical gynaecological condition that is quite common. The etymological root of the term is 'endometrium', a name for the lining tissue of the uterus. The tissue known as the endometrium builds up and gets thicker during a menstrual cycle. These tissues shed and come out as part of period blood if the woman does not get pregnant. When women have Endometriosis, tissues that look like endometrium develop not inside but outside the uterus. These can be on other organs of the reproductive system in the pelvic area or the woman's abdominal cavity. As the menstrual cycle goes on and hormonal changes occur, these tissues respond to the hormones every month. As endometrial tissues build up, they do too. This results in bleeding in the pelvis, although in small amounts. This can cause inflammation and swelling, and subsequent scarring in the normal tissues around them. If the ovary is affected, a fibrous cyst known as a blood blister may be formed, a condition known as endometrioma. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course has been developed to equip learners with a clear understanding of this medical condition that affects a significant percentage of women. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course includes the causes, symptoms, and how these symptoms show up. The course also consists of the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course starts by discussing what exactly Endometriosis is. This also provides general information about menstrual cycles. There are different kinds of Endometriosis, which will be looked at along with their causes, the signs and symptoms, their different stages, and the various risk factors that come with the medical condition. Other topics, like the diagnosis process, including the available methods and benefits, are also covered in the Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course deepens into laparoscopy- the most common practice in diagnosing Endometriosis. Other treatments such as hormonal treatment and surgical processes for treating inflammation or removing tumours caused by Endometriosis will also be discussed. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course also provides basic knowledge regarding analgesic treatment and treatments that use artificial hormones for follicle stimulation, surgical procedures that help treat infertility, IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization), intrauterine insemination, and Assisted Reproduction Technology. These processes will be learnt in-depth along with their statistics regarding success. Changes in diet that can be made to alleviate endometriosis symptoms and yoga routines that can relieve the symptoms will also be looked at. The course includes case studies to learn from real-life cases and better know symptoms and treatments. This course can teach you many things about this medical condition, including some of which are listed below:  1 Develop an understanding of Endometriosis, the different kinds, their causes and symptoms, various stage of the condition, and the risk factors involved. 2 Learn about the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
