Regrettably,… Continue Reading...
that stigma associated with mental disorders was the key barrier to citizens enjoying the superior-quality psychological health services they were deserving of. The above finding is in line with the surgeon general's mental health report issued in 1999 (American Public Health Association, 2014). The report stated that the fear of being stigmatized prevented people from accept they were ailing, getting treated, and complying with their treatment regimen, thereby giving rise to unneeded suffering. Both the report and the NFCMH emphasize the significance of acquiring an improved grasp of the part played by stigma in pursuing medical treatment in order to implement efforts for decreasing stigma.… Continue Reading...
on psychiatric disorder treatment. Xie and colleagues (2014) claim that the general psychological health improvements depicted by individuals undergoing MBCT may stem from various training-related advantages. Thus, anxiety and depression diagnosed individuals may profit from MBCT during rehab, for facilitating long-run maintenance of improved QOL (quality of life). Being deployed to the battlefield is linked to an appreciable growth in fresh onset substance use disorder, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), chronic pain and MDD (major depressive disorder). Vythilingam and Khusid (2016) note that a growing number of ex-servicemen have been increasingly recognizing mindfulness as being easily understandable, safe, inexpensive, and substantiated by an… Continue Reading...
in poorer patient prognosis. Possible mechanisms whereby psychological health impacts physiological health include autonomic nervous system and immune system activity, hemodynamics, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: providing insight into the physiological links between mental states and cardiovascular health. In a systematic review of literature published in the American Journal of Hypertension, Cohen, Edmondson & Kornish (2015) showcase recent research on the connection between mental health in general and cardiovascular disease. Both epidemiological studies and smaller-scale empirical research have “firmly established a connection” between cardiovascular health and specific mental health states linked to stress including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic… Continue Reading...
integrates assimilation theories as well as social constructionism. The reasons for the emerging literature include improving psychological health and well-being, improving social and cultural health, and also reducing or eliminating racism and negative stereotyping. Elashi, Mills & Grant (2009) point out "83% of Muslim individuals reported an increase in implicit racism and discrimination following September 11th," making the Muslim-American cultural, ethnic, and religious cohort one of the most important populations in America to understand through sociological data (Elashi, Mills & Grant, 2009, p. 379). Discrimination may be related to the dominant or white culture's fear of non-integration of existing or new immigrants and perceived threats to… Continue Reading...
how they are perceived, interpreted, developed and maintained is of critical importance to the psychological health of the individual. The techniques used in implementing IPT include structured therapy sessions, assessment guides, and contemplative exercises. As Markowitz et al. (2014) point out, IPT "has demonstrated efficacy in treating mood and eating disorders" as well as a number of all psychological maladies, such as depression (p. 316). One of the weaknesses associated with IPT, however, is that there is insufficient evidence to indicate that it is an effective treatment of anxiety disorders, as Markowitz et al. (2014) indicate. Likewise, Souza et al. (2016) find that while… Continue Reading...
might otherwise be diagnosed with personality disorders can use positive psychology to enhance their psychological health and perhaps even eliminate the symptoms of their disorders. Another strength of positive psychology is its usefulness to the wide range of individuals who do not have any strong negative behaviors or symptoms but who might require methods of finding more meaning in life, more sense of inner peace, sense of purpose, or generally to cultivate happiness and well-being regardless of external circumstances. Blending empirical evidence with a variety of theories and practices from Eastern philosophy, practices like mindfulness meditation have become central to positive psychology. Positive psychology… Continue Reading...
exhibiting toxic leadership traits. Toxic leadership a also has a strong bearing on individual physical and psychological health, which also impacts overall unit performance. One of the key features of toxic leadership is the fundamental attribution error: the toxic leader takes personal credit for the good work performed by the team, while blaming subordinates when something goes wrong. As a result, members of the unit can become persistently angry and frustrated, with adverse health outcomes (Jowers, 2015). Increased stress levels are common among units with toxic leaders because subordinates are afraid to make mistakes for… Continue Reading...
by posing questions with regard to people's self-identity, psychological experiences, and psychological health. By contrast, the element of religion is measured using questions that relate to religious participation, events and undertakings, observance of community or religious code. (Bender 1). The ideal approach to spirituality would be considering it as a means to know the divine. Individual means to do so are, to a certain extent, based on and manifested through religious customs, principles, and groups. It is asserted by some that spirituality constitutes a personal and practical component of religion; given this idea, these individuals propose four means by which religious… Continue Reading...
to Hawaii, I would tell him that while vacations can be important for peace of mind and psychological health, that he needs to do some calculations first to see if this trip is financially feasible. If possible, I would advise Kyle to put off the vacation until he sets aside a small amount of money each month from his new earnings as a teacher. This way, he can take a vacation off of money that he… Continue Reading...
also a distinct type of power that enhances one's psychological health and encourages wellbeing through control over one's irrational thoughts and emotions. Social media has an ironic and complex influence on the creation and dissemination of knowledge via the spreading of fake news. Interestingly, the proliferation of fake news can inspire citizens to become more media literate. The results of the 2016 presidential election in the United States are partly blamed on a lack of knowledge generated by social media and the spreading of propaganda through digital channels (Alcott and Gentzkow). To combat fake news, those who possess knowledge… Continue Reading...

variables, possibly effects the degree to which Perceived racial discrimination has an impact on the psychological health of black women. What makes constructionist and structural approaches different is that constructionist believes that there is a 'parallel between this beginning and the racial doctrines advocated in Europe, bestowing the black person as an integrally lesser being to the white man.
