Reviewing the characters from the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious

Overall a lot of the characters could really benefit from therapy. And quite possibly a psychiatrist.

Both Jade and Cat have unresolved childhood trauma.

Cat has PTSD from being sexually abused, and to used hide in her closet, and under her bed in hopes of not being found. Also she was pushed to the side for said brother. Leading up to her passing out she felt helpless, overwhemled, and ignorged which triggered flashbacks, as well as a panic attack. And it is very likely that she could be on the lower functioning side of the autism spectrum. nd could have a mental disability that makes her brain function like someone who is younger. She could definitely benefit from psychological help, and I also think that it would be beneficial if she was put in some special ed classes such as social skills, or even life skills.

Jade's dad was emotionally neglectful, so it's pretty clear that she was never taught a healthy way to assert herself and to express her emotions. Which is a common side effect of having a emotionally neglectful parent. If you don't know emotional neglect is the most common forms of abuse. Also given the fact that her childhood seems to be a topic she doesn't like to talk about. A lot of the things she says and does to people could have very well been something that someone else did to her when she was younger. She seems to have some control issues. Which is common among survivors of childhood abuse because the feeling of helpless triggers them, and or makes them extremely uncomfortable. her only childhood friend was a hammer, which could have very well let her to be seen as possessive and have abandonment issues. She is worried that she will be replace by a girl who is prettier than she is. She needs help and Beck doesnt seem to be mature enough to help her in a healthy way that actually benefits her. Overall their relationship has a lot of red flag, for example off and on relationships usually aren't healthy .

Adre's grandmother shows signs of severe paranoia that keeps her from living a happy and fulfilling life. So I believe that she could really benefit from psychological help.

Tori and Trina's family definitely needs some family therapy. And their mom and dad needs to learn how to better parent their children. As well as be more understanding and realize that their kids could very well be psychologically or emotionally disturbed.

Trina, a girl who just wants to be a star. Has to step up and be her biggest fan because no one else will. No one wants her and is she is oftenly mocked , underestimated, and made fun. Even by her own sister. She isn't assertive when she needs to be. She needs to learn to let her guard down and accept help from people who really want to help her. ( people outside of her family and fun group who does not have a bias perspective of her based on her reputation.) Over all she could definitely benefit from having solo therapy as well.

A friendly reminder that a sugar addiction is STILL an addiction.

A sugar addiction is worse than people realize. In fact it is one of the most common addiction. yet for some reason it is widely brushed under the rug.

People may experience unpleasant symptoms when they initially cut sugar from their diets. These can include:

cravings for sweet or high calorie foods

headaches

lack of energy

muscle aches

nausea

bloating

stomach cramps

irritability or anxiety

feeling down or depressed

These symptoms are usually mild and temporary. They should subside without treatment after the body adjusts to lower sugar intake.

Withdrawal

Numerous scientific studies have found evidence to suggest that sugar produces physiological and behavioral effects, similar to those caused by addictive drugs.

In a 2016 animal study, researchers found that long term exposure to high quantities of sugar causes brain changes, similar to those associated with nicotine addiction.

Several animal studies have found that when deprived of sugar, rats showed opiate withdrawal symptoms, such as anxious behavior and a decrease in dopamine release. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that controls pleasure and reward-motivated behavior.

When people drastically reduce their sugar intake, they may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, cravings, and mood changes. These should go away within a few days or weeks.

Treatments

Many of the symptoms associated with sugar detoxes occur as a result of fluctuating blood sugar levels. When a person eats sugar, their body breaks it down into glucose, which the cells use for energy.

In most cases, consuming sugar causes and an initial boost of energy followed by a rapid decrease in energy, or a blood sugar “crash.” People can minimize the adverse effects of sugar detoxing by regulating their blood sugar. Eating regularly and including more fiber in the diet can help avoid spikes and drops in blood sugar and decrease cravings.

Tips for cutting out sugar safely

Glucose is the primary and preferred source of fuel for the brain and body.

However, many people can benefit from reducing their added sugar intake by instead choosing fruits and vegetables, which provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, and naturally occurring sugar for energy. Including fibrous, complex carbohydrates can help deter cravings and minimize a sugar withdrawal.

People can increase their chances of success, reduce cravings, and minimize sugar withdrawal symptoms by using the following tips:

Avoid the following foods and drinks:

Sugar-sweetened beverages: Sodas, fruit juices, and energy drinks are the leading sources of added sugars, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Drink water and unsweetened coffee or tea instead

Candies and sweets: These food items contain high quantities of added sugar. Try replacing them with fresh fruit.

Baked goods: Cakes, cookies, and even certain types of bread contain added sugars. Avoid these refined carbohydrates as much as possible.

Low fat foods: Food advertised as low fat or fat free often contain added sugars to offset the missing fat.

Combat cravings by:

Eating more protein: Animal and plant-based protein sources can help regulate the appetite, according to one 2014 study.

Snacking on fresh fruits: People who experience intense sugar carvings can satisfy their sweet tooth with a piece of fresh fruit. Unlike candy bars and cookies, fruits contain naturally occurring sugars and fiber. Learn about low sugar fruits here.

Getting enough sleep: A lack of sleep may cause cravings for unhealthful foods, according to one 2018 study.

Relaxing and avoiding stress: The findings from this 2015 study suggest that chronic stress may contribute to food cravings.

When you eat excess sugar, the extra insulin in your bloodstream can affect your arteries all over your body. It causes their walls to get inflamed, grow thicker than normal and more stiff, this stresses your heart and damages it over time. This can lead to heart disease, like heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.

Throughout the body, excess sugar is harmful. Even a single instance of elevated glucose in the bloodstream can be harmful to the brain, resulting in slowed cognitive function and deficits in memory and attention. The good news, however, is this inflammatory damage from sugar may not be permanent.

Keep sugary foods away. Don't tempt yourself by stocking candy, cookies, and other high-sugar foods in your cupboards and fridge. "As a substitute for these things, keep fruit around," suggests Dr. Hauser.

Sweeten foods yourself. Start with unsweetened iced tea, plain yogurt, and unflavored oatmeal. Then add your own sweetener. No matter how much sweetener you add, you probably won't put in as much as the manufacturer would have, according to Dr. Hauser.

Watch for hidden sugars in foods. Be wary of foods where sugar tends to hide, including reduced-fat products. "When companies take out the fat, they add back almost all the calories in sugar," Dr. Hauser says. Read labels. Avoid products that list sugar as the first ingredient or that contain several different types of sugar (brown sugar, cane nectar, etc.)—it's one way manufacturers avoid having sugar listed as the first ingredient.

Eat breakfast. Start out your day with a filling, nutritious meal, so you'll be less likely to give in to cravings. Steel-cut oatmeal, eggs, and fruit are all good breakfast choices.

"When you get used to eating fewer super-sweet things, you crave them less," Dr. Hauser says. "You become more satisfied with less sweet things." You also won't feel guilty on those less frequent occasions when you do splurge.
