INTERNSHIP NEWS

Stay tuned for Cristian's work anxiety, ADHD, and the differences and misconceptions

Cristian Pannuto is a graduating senior at Darien High School. His research project is
about anxiety, ADHD, and the differences and misconceptions that people have about the two.
Cristian is very intrigued and eager to learn, as he used to struggle with intense psychological
Lyme disease. This experience has lead him to do his own research, and as a result has
become much more aware of mental health and awareness. He is very proficient in technology
and will be attending Fitchburg State University in Fall 2019 to major in Game Design. Stay tuned here for more info on what Cristian is working on!

Stop the Diet...Lose the Weight
By: Debra O'Donnell, L.C.S.W., L.M.F.T.

Ever started your own diet and given up?  Ever reached your goal weight and then regained it?  Ever gone on a binge and felt depressed afterward?  Ever been told by your doctor that you need to lose weight (as if you didn’t know)?  Ever said “I cheated” after going off your diet, even by 1 cookie?  Ever felt as if not only your eating, but your life is out of control?
