MATTER OF HEALTH 

Cyberbullying ... 

A Menace of All Time 

by Syed O. Quadri, Psychiatrist • Psych Pointe of Florida 

5979 Vineland Road, Suite 109, Orlando • 407-270-7702 • www.psychpointe.com

Bullying is a behavioral problem 

that has been studied in both humans 

and animals. It is classified 

into several categories, including 

physical, emotional, verbal and 

cyber. Although tools and methods 

have changed throughout the 

years, the impact of bullying is still 

the same — leading to lifelong 

trauma-related problems in the victim’s 

life. These days, cellphones, 

iPads, tablets and computers are 

the weapons used on social media 

platforms, where “online bullying 

wars” occur. This is also known as 

“cyberbullying.” 

Every parent’s primary responsibility 

is to take bullying seriously, 

report it right away, and act immediately 

to protect the victim and 

the bully involved in the act. Parents 

should watch and monitor every 

activity of their minors on social 

media, as well as their interactions 

with strangers online. Unfortunately, 

sometimes harmless banter turns 

into unintentional bullying with 

the same drastic outcomes. Data 

shows that one-half of all children 

get bullied in their lifetime, and 10 

percent continue to get bullied on 

a regular basis. Bullying has serious 

effects on children, resulting 

in short- and long-term cognitive, 

emotional, academic and social 

deficits. 

Parents should always look for 

certain signs in children, such as 

being withdrawn, depressed or reluctant 

to go to school; declining in 

school performance; truancy; loss 

of appetite; or weight loss. Some 

children may present symptoms like 

disturbed sleep, low self-esteem, 

anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm behaviors 

or substance-abuse issues. 

Other kids might present psychosomatic 

physical symptoms, including 

headaches, tummy aches and 

cold/cough related issues. Literature 

shows that bullying also affects the 

immune system, resulting in serious 

physical illnesses. Bullying can also 

occur offline, at school playgrounds, 

in bathrooms, on buses and in unsupervised 

halls. These days, children 

do not have to leave their homes 

and can still get bullied because social 

media has taken over the lives 

of many people in the iGeneration 

and post-millennials. 

In the past few years, there has 

been a remarkable increase in suicide 

rates due to cyberbullying. 

Some of the most noted reasons 

for youths who become bullies can 

be because of their personal insecurity; 

differences in their physical, 

emotional, financial or cultural affiliation; 

jealousy; peer pressure; fear 

of rejection; or a desire for power. 

Bullied victims are at a five-time 

greater risk to have mental health 

issues in their lives. If untreated, 

victims of bullying can end up having 

trauma-related symptoms like 

nightmares, insomnia, fearfulness, 

flashbacks and numbness. This results 

in lifelong problems leading 

to frequent hospitalizations and 

an increased risk of self-harm and 

suicide. 

We all should be proactive in 

identifying this problem and take 

immediate action by informing 

parents, teachers, counselors and 

even the police if it involves either 

weapons or danger to someone’s 

life. Other interventions include 

peer mediation, conflict resolution, 

anger management and increased 

adult supervision. The Department 

of Health and Human Services 

has many resources and tools listed 

on stopbullying.gov. Last, but 

not least, Florida has become the 

first state to offer private-school 

vouchers to bullied students. ª

There are few things more relaxing 

than a trip to the spa. Breathing in the relaxing 

aroma, lounging in a plush robe, 

and being pampered for an hour — or 

a couple of days — is not only a luxurious 

experience, it is also good for your 

health. With many options to choose 

from, for both men and women, there is 

a spa treatment that can benefit anyone. 

Spas and Their 

Health Benefits 

by Anna Woodward 

Spas have come a long way throughout 

the ages. They now offer a wide 

variety of services that all increase a 

person’s health, appearance and mood. 

Even though spas have always offered 

water treatments, they have evolved over 

the ages to offer more services to help 

increase the beauty and mental state of 

their patrons. 

Today, many of these facilities are 

designed to provide their guests with a 

complete experience that can improve 

the health and fitness of the mind, body 

and spirit. There are many benefits 

ON THE 

of going to a place that specializes in 

providing relaxing and therapeutic treatments. 

Depending on where you go, you 

can experience everything in one day or 

over the course of several days. 

Many relaxation retreats cater to their 

patrons by providing services that will 

make them look and feel more attractive. 

Some of their most popular services are 

massages, facials, wraps, manicures and 

pedicures. Wraps can help to provide 

patrons with a slimmer and more toned 

appearance. They can even brighten your 

skin, giving you a glowing complexion. 

Massages are another important aspect 

of these facilities. When given in 

conjunction with water treatments, it 

is much easier for guests to relax. The 

scents that are provided through aromatherapy 

also contribute to creating 

a calming, soothing and stress-free environment. 

A masseuse will be able to 

rub and massage your body in different

Spas 

ways to remove all of the tension from 

your tired muscles and revitalize your 

spirit. The main benefit of going to these 

facilities is that you will feel rejuvenated 

and refreshed. 

Some spas have hydrotherapy services 

that provide additional health benefits. 

They can soothe and relax joints and 

muscles that are stiff and overworked. 

The patron sits in a hot tub that has special 

salts and oils in it to provide moisturizing 

and aromatherapy properties. By 

soaking in a hot tub, arthritis sufferers 

can get relief from their condition and increase 

their mood. The heat helps to increase 

blood flow by enabling the blood 

vessels to dilate. By increasing the blood 

circulation to the organs and affected areas 

of the body, the body is more able to 

heal. Pain is reduced as endorphins are 

released from the brain. 

Those who suffer from insomnia or 

have trouble getting a good night’s sleep 

can find relief in spas. By utilizing the 

services in the facility, they can relax 

their body and ease their mind to the 

point where it is much easier for them to 

fall asleep at night. This is a more natural 

approach than having to rely on sleeping 

medications and aids for relief. 

Although spas provide a great variety 

of services and products, some of these 

facilities can be categorized by their 

business focus. For example, there are 

medical, beauty, day and health spas. 

You can generally guess their areas of 

specialty from their name. Relaxation facilities 

are great places to go when you 

need a vacation or escape from stress or 

the world. You can spend a few hours 

or few days in the facilities and leave 

feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and with 

a new outlook on life.

hours to escape from the real world? 

Would you like to be pampered, instead 

of you doing the pampering for 

someone else? If so, you may want to 

schedule an appointment at one of your 

local day spas. 

As nice as it is to hear that you should 

schedule an appointment at one of your 

local day spas, you may be curious as 

to what they can do for you. Day spas 

are designed to provide customers with 

a good sense of health and relaxation. 

One of the many ways that this is done 

is through a large selection of body 

treatments. 

One of the most popular body treatments 

offered at a day spa is that of a 

massage. When it comes to massages, 

you should know that it could be more 

than just having your body rubbed 

down for an hour or so. Many day spas 

provide you with options, as well as 

many accessories. For example, some 

spas have what is commonly known as 

breathe easy massages. These often 

involve the use of scented lavender oil 

towels. Hot stones can also be applied 

to your face, back, stomach or all three 

areas. 

In addition to full body massages, 

there are also those available that target 

specific areas. The scalp is one of 

those areas, as well as the hands, feet, 

back and shoulders. 

Salt scrubs are another common procedure 

offered by day spas. Salt scrubs 

involve the use of sea salts. They will 

exfoliate and cleanse the skin. This often 

removes the dead, top layer of skin 

from the body. The result should be 

clean, young and fresh looking skin. 

Due to the use of exfoliating scrubs, this 

procedure often focuses more on health 

than relaxation. 

Mud wraps are another body treatment 

that many day spas offer. With 

mud wraps, you often have the option 

of targeting your whole body or just the 

face. A mud wrap, like the Provencal 

European Mud Mask, is applied to the 

body. This will then work to purify, polish, 

hydrate and smooth the skin. Before 

the procedure begins, the skin is often 

exfoliated. Afterwards, the skin may 

be moisturized with a carefully chosen 

cream, like body butter.

In addition to mud wraps, herbal 

wraps are also available. Herbal body 

wraps involve the use of steamed towels 

that are wrapped around the body 

or the targeted area. These towels are 

first blended with the perfect combination 

of scented, aromatherapy oils. 

Herbal wraps cause the body to detoxify, 

which results in excess fluid being 

eliminated. Relaxation is another 

added benefit. 

Herbal moisturizing treatments are 

also available for those who suffer from 

constant or extreme dry skin. If you do, 

this treatment may be perfect for you. 

An herbal moisturizing treatment first involves 

the application of cream, which 

is massaged onto the body in thick 

layers. An herbal wrap, which was described 

above, often follows. 

In addition to main procedures, such 

as the ones highlighted above, there 

are additional steps that can be taken. 

For example, a tan bronze glow can be 

applied at the end of each procedure. 

Having a slight, yet safe, tan is ideal 

if you are preparing for an upcoming 

special event, like a wedding or a vacation. 

Also, many men and women feel 

better about themselves and feel more 

attractive when they are tan. 

There are specific areas of the body 

that can be targeted, like the hands or 

the feet. Spa foot treatments and hand 

treatments are popular options. As for 

the foot treatment, you will likely soak 

your feet in warm soapy water. Next, 

your feet will be scrubbed and exfoliated. 

A special foot mask may also 

be applied. Both hand and foot treatments 

are often finished with a nail 

trimming. 

So, are you ready to create some 

“you time?” After a spa treatment, you 

will feel refreshed and relaxed and 

ready to handle whatever comes your 

way.

Medical Spa: 

Treatments for Men 

by Ace Abbey 

Men may like medical spas more 

than they thought they would, since

these spas offer all kinds of massages 

as well as basic cosmetic procedures 

Medical spas tend to attract more 

women than men, but there are actually 

some appealing procedures that 

can be done for males. This is why 

some men do choose to occasionally 

make an appointment. Consider some 

of the procedures available that may 

appeal to males of all ages. 

Men often like to be pampered just 

as much as women, but often in some 

different ways. While manicures 

and pedicures may be available for 

males, these are not as popular as 

massages. They can choose massages 

of varying durations, and even 

different types, as some are specialized 

for athletes while others are just 

best for relaxation. Similarly, they can 

usually benefit from hairstyling, as it is 

sometimes nice to wear it a different 

way. Of course, they can also get hair 

removed if desired, as waxing and laser 

hair removal may be performed at 

many locations. 

Another possibility is a procedure 

that changes the look of the face. 

Men who are worried about wrinkles 

can get their skin smoothed out with 

Botox or other injections. These are 

usually not permanent, but they also 

do not require incisions or a long 

recovery period. Those who want a 

more dramatic change may opt for 

a face-lift, which a local medical spa 

may offer, provided they have experienced 

surgeons on-site. Males who 

wish to change the look of their face 

without having to undergo surgery 

may choose dermal fillers. While 

many of these are used to get rid of 

wrinkles, they can also enhance the 

face in general, as they can add volume 

to the cheeks and lips. Women 

are not the only ones who may desire 

such changes, which is why some facilities 

may offer them to anyone who 

qualifies as a candidate. 

A medical spa can also usually improve 

the body. Some feature body 

wraps that can easily get rid of toxins 

and water weight. The typical man 

worried about a gut or some extra 

flab may benefit from a body wrap, 

especially since it is usually quick 

and clearly requires no recovery period 

afterward. But sometimes, more 


dramatic changes are desired, such 

as liposuction. This may be available 

if plastic surgeons are on-site, 

but this does usually require incisions 

and a recovery period. A more specific 

treatment for males is liposuction 

for gynecomastia, which describes 

a condition in which a man’s breast 

tissue is larger than usual. Since the 

average man does not like having this 

look, he can go to a medical spa to 

try to get rid of it. It does have a recovery 

period involved with it, but the 

result is usually worth it. 

A man looking for a change in 

the body or face may benefit from 

checking out local spas. They do 

not all provide all of these features, 

but most of the popular ones do. In 

fact, couples may enjoy taking a 

trip there together, since they can 

both improve their looks through any 

of these procedures. This way, they 

both feel great afterward, and neither 

is bored during the visit, since 

each gets a few benefits for their 

appearance.

Are you asking 

enough questions 

about the way 

your wealth 

is managed? 

In life, you question everything. The 

same should be true when it comes 

to managing your wealth. Do you 

know what your broker is basing 

their recommendations on? Do they 

stand by their word? Do you know 

how much you’re paying in fees? And 

how those fees affect your returns? 

Ask your broker, and if you don’t like 

their answers, ask again at Schwab. 

We think you’ll like what our Financial
