    This article discusses whether or not depression should be treated as a legitimate disability. Because of the complexity of depression, even people that are undergoing treatment struggle to be a good employee, and in certain cases, are even fired from their jobs because of poor performance that they had no control of.

    Children do suffer from different levels of depression. Depression is a disability, which will interfere with a child's education if it's not recognized. The constant mismanagement of time, organization and lack of interest in anything sometimes is what can be seen. Many educators are now being trained to identify children who suffer depression.

    Many doctors do not take mental illness as serious as they do a physical illness. They do not follow up with their mentally ill patients as much as they do with their physically ill patients. This is not a good trend because most patients seek help for their mental health with their primary doctor. Although experts are trying to curb this by suggesting that depression screenings are done with a persons physical exam.

    New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    Mental health is at a total decline, many high school and college students meet the standard for depression and an anxiety disorder. Studies were done and they showed a dramatic increase in mental illness over the last five decades. The increase in mental illness surprisingly had nothing to do with realistic dangers such as war. Anxiety and depression often correlate with a sense or lack of control

    Many homeless people who live out on the streets are victims of mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. People who are mentally ill and homeless are among the hardest to treat, and government spending on homeless programs is expected to rise.

    This post actually hits close to home for me, seeing as i am a psych major and i feel the same way about our homeless population. Many of them are made fun of or accused of being on drugs but what they do not realize is that many of them are acting that way because they are not on the medication that they require to function at a normal level.

    This article really opens my eyes a bit about homeless people. I mainly believe that homeless people at times are just helpless and put themselves in a position that they cant return from, but this article says otherwise. It goes to show that not all of these homeless people are completely doomed, just some of them need to proper medical assistance to get them back on the right track and back into reality.

    Human trafficking has a great impact on its victims. IF victims are able to get away from traffickers, they will still struggle for the rest of their lives. Even though they got away, they will forever be scarred. They will always remember their experience.

  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    I agree with Ash. As a race, humans tend to emulate and learn from each other, and has been proven by examining cultures and societies. With social media, anybody can "learn" behaviors, thoughts, or even actions from anybody. With this in mind, what do you think will happen to future generations on social media if they were, for example, consistently exposed (and as a result desensitized) to something like violence?

  • ayeager7152 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Sadly this world has truly become run by social media and the input of people we have never, and will never, meet. The importance a "like" or "comment" has now definitely leads to declining mental health statuses. Some people are so based on the likes that their entire world would crumble. Companies pay people purely based on their likes and follower count and the power they hold over their viewers.

    Mental health is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Our predecessors commonly pushed down or ignored their mental health issues, but it's even worse for people today due to social media and other platforms. People today are becoming more mindful of social issues such as mental health and I think that's a really big deal.

    Social media has really impacted adolescents and young adults in many ways. Mental health problems have sprung because of social media. Social media has its positives but it has made a lot of people see themselves in a bad light and view themselves as imperfect when in real life they are perfect.

    I would definitely agree with the article as it claims the correlation between time spent on social media and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I likes how they referenced how abstaining from it can result in higher levels of happiness.

    Childhood obesity can cause a kids mental health to go bad. It is very common for a child to get made fun of by other children because of their weight. The negativity the child is receiving will soon result in a low self esteem, depression, and more.

    Many veterans have been left without any benefits after leaving the service, some have even become homeless. The veterans bill would help those who have been struggling with suicide, depression, education, and medical benefits. There are 9 laws that are being passed to help those who have served in the military.

    Lots of treatment options are available for the ones who are suffering from these disorders. One is psychotherapy by talking to a psychologist, about 50% of these patients are suffering from depression. Another kind of treatment is a cognitive behavioral therapy where you set goals and helps change unhealthy thought patterns. Nutritional counseling is also a treatment by eating healthier to maintain your body healthy. However, some patients need a medically supervised diet to get back to a healthy weight.
  • ste2253805 on 04 Sep 16
     
    Eating disorders are very common in today's society, but there are patients who have faced eating disorders and overcome them. With the treatment of therapy, counseling, and a supervised diet, many people who suffer from eating disorders can learn how to defeat them and avoid the possibility of facing the disorder again.
  • casbautista on 04 Sep 16
     
    The scary part of eating disorders is how deadly they can be. The more a person starves themselves, the more muscles are eaten up; including the heart. I think it would interesting to see how eating disorders manifest in different cultures or minority groups. I know that eating disorders for women can be different from that of men and the method of treating that is also interesting.

    I agree, mental health care is very important and sadly is not always easy to get. Mental health needs more funding and more awareness. Being stable mentally is just as important as getting your yearly doctor's exam. I view mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and so on to be just as important to treat as any physical sickness or injury that requires medical attention.
  • sldaly on 27 Jan 17
     
    I also agree that mental healthcare is very poor and not getting the attention it deserves. I have someone really close to me that has mental illness and they don't get all the proper things that they need to deal with it because of money.

    As someone who has struggled with mental illness most of my entire life I know all too well the challenges that mental health faces in our country. It might help you to look at the Reagan administration and their decisions to close several mental health hospitals and programs in the late 80's. This had a huge impact on how mental health was dealt with in this country.
  • luminitaparavat on 28 Jan 17
     
    Being someone that has worked for a number of years with mentally disabled patients, I have to say that there is a lot of indifference toward this medical condition. Patients are not always receiving the best treatment option, they rather receive what is convenient for the health care provider or sometimes the cheapest alternative because family does not want to pay for treatment, whether it is a therapy or medication. It is very unfortunate that these people are ignored just because they have an ilness.
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    I work with a variety of patients and some do have mental disabilities. Most don't seek help because they have the lack of knowledge and don't know where to start. Also like the article states they don't have the support or don't want to spend the money. A lot of people who don't get the correct help they need then tend to become suicidal. Very sad.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.
  • che2146091 on 29 Jan 17
     
    The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.
