One and Other-Mental Health

Mental health on the Fourth Plinth (One and Other) performance art in Trafalgar Square, London.

I am standing on the plinth to represent people whose voices so often go unheard, either because they don’t have the necessary support, or they are socially isolated, or they are quite simply desperately marginalized: people with mental health issues.

According to the World Health Organisation, depression will be the second most costly health problem worldwide, coming second only to heart disease and ahead of cancer.

Despite this, however, and despite the fact that around one in four adults will experience them at some point in their lives, mental health problems are still surrounded by ignorance, fear and prejudice.

Research has shown that prejudice against people with mental health issues is actually increasing, despite social attitudes regarding sexuality, ethnicity and other similar issues improving.

Symptoms of Depression

Approaches the psychopathology of this disorder focusing on the symptoms that comprise the global syndrome. Each chapter, contributed by prominent clinicians and researchers in the field, follows the common format covering definition, measurement, frequency of occurrence, a review of clinical and experimental investigations which lead to current theories regarding the causes of the symptom, its functional relationship to other manifestations of depression and the implications for clinical practice. Contains several chapters, each on one particular symptom common to depressive disorders such as shame and guilt, loss of self-esteem, sleeping problems and much more.

Not long ago, a New York State College Professor of economics had made an extremely astute comment about the generational divide on fiscal and financial responsibility in noting that those who lived during the depression and for a few decades after thought of money much different than the current younger generation now.

Indeed, most would concur and even I tend to agree very much that after the depression people were more frugal, saved more money and handled their financial affairs with greater responsibility. We are now watching the shifting demographics and those who grew up in the depression are the middle to older baby boomers, and it appears the underling generations did not learn that lesson very well. That’s too bad.

Very concerned with the credit card issues, as folks are paying interest the wrong way, instead of allowing it to work for them they are paying often in excess of 18% the wrong way. That is unsustainable over time, as compounded interest and growth can be your best friend, but in reverse; it’s economic enslavement indeed.

Fact is, I wonder if our college professor has noticed at his college that credit card applications show up around campus? I can remember giving speeches on business topics and seeing credit card applications lying around with promises of free-gifts for kids that sign up.

As I understand it the average graduate has in excess of $ 10K in credit card debt – I bet he could verify that figure, and if so, that’s just disgusting really? Of course, as a Friedman economist type myself, they were free to choose, too bad they made such horrible choices? Please use credit wisely, value money, save, and consider all this.

People tend to think that the recovery from post psychotic depression that usually comes as a result of some kind of psychosis should be long and tiring. This case shouldn’t be the usual case. If people strict to go through the next 5 stages of recovery, they can assure themselves an easier and shorter way recovery from a post psychotic depression:

1) Getting out of bed

One of the most common characteristic of people who suffer from post psychotic depression is the unwillingness to get out of bed. If you really want to recover from that depression, you should force yourself to do so even though it seems like an impossible task.

2) Doing the opposite

When you suffer from depression, your body and mind tend to channel your actions into minimum waste of energy as if you don’t want to do deeds that are not necessary for your survival. In order to fight back you should not tempt to accept these thoughts and force yourself to take actions and not to give-up.

3) Being occupied

In order to not thinking about your depression all day long, you should find a steady occupation that will help you with it. This kind of occupation will also give you the reason to get up in the morning and to begin your daily routine. Any occupation is fine; it can be a job, a class, a club meeting, and a course etc.

4) Making company

It has been said that being alone is not good for the human being. In order to fight back your depression, you should search for company. It can be a boy or a girl friend, a mate, people who suffer like you, colleagues, and family relatives etc. If you won’t be alone most of the time, then you will have many other matters to focus on instead of only in your disorder.

5) Getting treatment

In order to get well, it is a good advice to get a proper treatment in order to defeat your post psychotic depression. That treatment should be a combination between getting medicine and a natural treatment such as therapy, exercise, diet, tending a support group etc.

Mental health experts in Michigan are excited about recent research from Northwestern University, which has developed the first blood test to diagnose depression in teens. According to Lori Edelson, Birmingham Maple Clinic therapist and spokesperson, the latest developments in diagnosing teen depression are an important step in treating the mental illness in young people. Having the ability to diagnose teens who are suffering from major depression early on gives young people a better outlook for their future mental health, as those who dont receive treatment often run into significant mental health issues down the road.

Northwestern’s findings are a positive step in the search for more effective treatment for depression in teens, a group that is typically harder to diagnose due to normal mood changes and what is viewed as typical teen behavior. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and lead investigator of the study Eva Redei, PhD said, Right now depression is treated with a blunt instrument. Its like treating Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes exactly the same way. We need to do better for these kids.

Speaking to the social view of depression in todays society, Redei said, Everybody, including parents, are wary of treatment, and there remains a social stigma around depression, which in the peer-pressured world of teenagers, is even more devastating. Redei and her research team hope that by removing the stigma that is associated with depression, teens can be properly diagnosed and treated instead of allowing the illness to continue on into adulthood.

Birmingham Maple Clinic has been specializing in mental health services in Michigan for over 30 years, providing services for individuals, couples, families, groups and the community. The clinic provides treatment for a variety of psychological conditions, including child and adult ADHD, anxiety and panic disorders, chronic illness, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and marriage, family and relationship counseling.

Anxiety is the result of our brains working overtime and magnifying small issues into major problems. This article will help you learn to relieve anxiety naturally with meditation.

Nervousness, tension and the fear you experience, results in anxiety. Anxiety causes unhappiness and is brought about in many ways, some of which are:

1) Being mortally afraid of failing in an exam even though you have prepared for it. 2) Waiting for the results to appear. 3) Making conversation with unknown people endlessly. 4) Conjuring up the worst scenario when you are undergoing a slight fever.

Anxiety is created when you experience one or more of the above causes. You cannot ignore this “feeling,” even though it is not “real.” Many depressed patients put their problems down to anxiety, which can be cured with meditation.

How can one get rid of Anxiety? Start by investigating every activity that you are involved in. You should be able to pinpoint where you are going wrong. Is it necessary for you to be undergoing such stress? This mode of self-searching will help you learn a lot of things. You may be surprised with the numerous activities that take up your time. Is what you are doing absolutely necessary? You will probably be stunned at the amount of stuff you are trying to cope with. By giving this a lot of thought, you have begun the process of self-introspection, which itself, is a form of meditation. Slowly, over a period, you will be able to identify why you are anxious, due to meditation.

Make light of problems to succeed. Fill your body with positive vibrations and meditation. This will ease your tension and help you relax. Learn to take things in your stride and do not lose courage. Instruct your brain to work for you positively, so that your anxiety levels diminish.

If you are determined to cure problems related to anxiety, cultivate awareness. Shift headquarters if you are getting overly restless. Move in with your mom or dear friends if you can, or travel to a religious site. Change of atmosphere can make you ease your anxiety.

On no account, should you use pills or other types of medication to try and find solace. Your brain is unable to perform normally, due to temporary feelings of anxiety, which cloud the thinking. If you hone in on your breathing exercises you will be able to make your brain come alive again with meditation. This in turn, will dispel anxiety and let you function as an energetic, normal human being again.

Women and Depression: Discovering Hope

Everyone occasionally feels blue or sad, but these feelings are usually fleeting and pass within a couple of days. When a woman has a depressive disorder, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning, and causes pain for both the woman with the disorder and those who care about her. Depression is a common but serious illness, and most who have it need treatment to get better.
Depression affects both men and women, but more women than men are likely to be diagnosed with depression in any given year.1 Efforts to explain this difference are ongoing, as researchers explore certain factors (biological, social, etc.) that are unique to women.

Many women with a depressive illness never seek treatment. But the vast majority, even those with the most severe depression, can get better with treatment.

This is a booklet that describes the symptoms, treatment and factors contributing to depression that are unique to women.Everyone occasionally feels blue or sad, but these feelings are usually fleeting and pass within a couple of days.
