1. The objective of this question is to help you understand
how the critical ecosystem services are impacted by economic
activity and to think about some things we can do to solve
those problems. It is very important that you understand these
relationships if you want to achieve success in your careers.
This question is part of the topic called Intro to some key
concepts of Economics.
To a great extent, Economics is about connecting the dots
(finding relationships between seemingly unrelated things).
For now, Earth is the only place we can live. Our ability
to live on this planet is supported by the many

Ecosystems active on the planet. Some of our
behaviors disrupt those Ecosystems and the Ecosystem
Services. Those disrupted Ecosystem Services in turn
have impacts on the people and economies of the
global north and global south. It is very important that
you develop a good understanding of our behavior
and the environmental and economic consequences
of that behavior.
• First, pick 2 Ecosystem Services from the list in slide 13
of the topic called Intro to some key concepts of
Economics.
• Second, for each of your 2 ecosystem services, please
explain how each is supposed to work. This is key to
answering the entire question, so please focus on this.
Google can help with this! Please note that this is a skill
that you will have to master to be successful in your
careers.

• Third, for each of your 2 ecosystem services, please
thoroughly explain at least one human behavior that
has disrupted the operation of the Ecosystem Service
and explain the economic and environmental impacts
of that disruptive behavior. Please be thorough.
• Fourth, for each of your 2 Ecosystem Services, explain
how the disruptions to the Ecosystem Service impact
the two different parts of the world (the global north
nations and global south nations). More specifically,
explain how the lives of the people and the national
economies are impacted.
• Fifth, for each of your 2 ecosystem services, thoroughly
explain 3 things that we should start doing right now to

repair or at least stop the damage to the Ecosystem
Services you selected. Be sure you explain how each
of your recommendations would actually lead to
solution of the problem. Remember, you need 3
recommendations for each of your ecosystem
services.

Mood Disorder
Mood disorder is mental health problem which predominantly
affects a person’s emotional
state. Mood disorder is an abnormal psychology disorder
whose symptoms is characterized by
extreme sadness, long periods of extreme happiness or both.
Mood change is normal for anyone,
however, in the case of a mood disorder, the symptoms have to
be present longer. These disorders
can result to serious changes in a person’s behavior which can
affect their ability to execute their

routine activities such as school and work (Conklin., 2018).
Though there are many disorders, the
major mood disorders are depression, bipolar and manic. The
depressive disorder comprises of a
depressed mood, while an elevated mood is characterized by
hypomania or mania. The bipolar
mood disorder consists of both the depressed and manic moods.
The disorders also vary in severity
and intensity, an example is the cyclothymic disorder which is
a less severe form of bipolar disorder
as compared to the dysthymic disorder (Rakofsky and
Rapaport., 2018).
Depression
Depression is the most common mental disorder and the main
cause of disability. The world
health organization estimates the number of individuals with
this disorder to be 264 million people
in the world with more women affected than men. Sadness
occurs during a traumatic event in life
or crisis. It is characterized by prolonged loss of interest,
sadness, and guilt feelings, lack of sleep,
low self-esteem, tiredness, appetite and poor concentration.
Depressed individuals may also have
physical complaints with no cause. However when depression

continues after the event is over or
recurrent, the physicians classify the depression as major or
clinical depression. This symptoms
must have lasted for more than two weeks and substantially
impairing an individual’s daily
function (Conklin., 2018).
There are different types of depression but most are
characterized by weight effects, change
in behavior, cognitive effects and lack of sleep. Severe
depression may result to feelings of
excessive irate, social isolation, restlessness and suicidal
thoughts. There are several prevention
measures that have resulted to reduced depression such as
protection psychological support
following physical abuse and psychosocial assistance after
conflicts and disasters. There are also
treatments, an example is the talking therapy such as
psychotherapy of the cognitive behavior
therapy which are used for mild to moderate depression (Kring
and Johnson., 2018). For moderate
to severe depression, the individual is administered with the
antidepressants though they are not
the first line of treatment. Depression management includes
psychosocial aspects such as getting

to identify the stress factors and realizing the sources of
support. Maintaining a social network and
social activities is also essential to reduce depression.
Mania
Mania is a health disorder in which an individual experiences
a period of unusual high
mood or energy. This is a high energy and feeling of euphoria
is a change from a person’s usual
self. This form of disorder is characterized by increased
talking, less sleep than normal,
impulsivity, making reckless decisions and poor judgement.
There are also incidents of abnormal
manic mood or behavior, which includes extreme levels of
happiness or irate than other people
(Conklin., 2018).
Bipolar

compri

phase of bipolar treatment and relapse prevention. These
medicines are used to stabilize the mood
together with psychosocial support. Mental health practitioners
often use Diagnostic and Statistical
Manuals while diagnosing on bipolar individuals.
Cause of Mood Disorders and Treatment
The exact cause of mood disorders in yet to be determined,
however, imbalances of brain
chemicals resulted by life events can result to depression.
Everyone experiences mood imbalances,
however when they are intense and disrupts a person’s daily
routine, it may be a sign of underlying
condition which may require attention. Internal changes in our
bodies my influence our moods, it’s
not only what is happening inside but also our environment or
what is happening around us which
may lead to depression. Therapists believe that mood
imbalances occur as a result of biological,
psychological, environmental and genetic conditions. These
leads to improper functioning of the
neurotransmitters which are believed to be the major causes of
depression. Structuring of the brain

and functioning may also result to mood imbalances. Brain
scans have indicated that individuals
with healthy mood regulation have brains differing from the
mood disorder individual’s brain.
Some individuals with bipolar disorder also inherit from their
family (Conklin., 2018).
Treatment of the mood disorders is usually dependent on the
symptoms. The therapy
involves combination of several medications and talk therapy
or psychotherapy. The therapy is
conducted by psychiatrists, psychologists or other health
professions who perform physical
examinations to ascertain the physiological causes of the
symptoms. After conducting the tests and
survey, they will administer medication based the assessment.
Medications may include the
antidepressants with treat the various episodes, mood stabilizers
and brain simulation therapies.
Societal Implications of Mood Disorder
Mood disorders have social implications which include
inability to work reducing
productivity at work, functional impairment and increased use
of health services which increase

the number of individuals who visit the hospitals thus
overwhelming the medical professionals.

Business or organizations owners require employees who are
able to execute their jobs effectively.
This is because employee performance is essential in the
overall success of the company goals and
profits (Da Costa et al., 2016). To achieve this employees are
required to be objective and
consistent which may be difficult for individuals with mood
disorders. As a result poor
performance at work may result to loss of jobs. Loss of jobs
can result to increased uptake of
substance abuse in the society. This does not only affect the
individual but also leads to increased

dsm-5-depression-criteria/…
A bipolar disorder consists of both the depression and manic
disorder. The world health
organization estimates the number of individuals suffering from
this disorder to be 45 million
people in the world. It is experienced when someone has low
moods, resembling the clinical
depression, the depressive episodes then alternate with the
manic episodes where a person feels
irate or has increased level of activity (Conklin., 2018). This
disorder is characterized by inflated
self-esteem and reduced need for sleep. There are treatments
for the disorder which include acute
pressure on the societies charities to deal with the situation.
For individuals with children,
depression can also affect the children resulting to poor
school performance. Mood disorders also
may affect the closest family members who tend to experience
shame and guilt about the affected

individual. Family members always take a caretaker role on
each family member affected hence
are usually affected first. As a result they also experience
feelings of anxiety and fear about the
loved ones (Conklin., 2018).
Mood Disorder in Relation to Models of Abnormality
The behavioral model states that an individual’s behavior is as
a result of their environment.
This approach believes that our actions are fully dependent on
our experiences in life. This in
relation to the mood disorder, the depressors are largely
dependent on actions and events happening
around a person. Thus, according to this approach abnormal
behavior is a learned response which
is conditioned to an individual. The cognitive model is an
element of the behaviorist approach
which refers to brain-related processes. This approach
assumes that the mental actions or events
are a result of the individual behavior since people interpret
the environment before their reaction
to it. According to this model, abnormal behavior occur due to
our own cognitive interpretations.
In relation to mood disorders, emotional problems may be the

source of stressors which relate to
distorted cognitive processes. These could be irate beliefs,
negative thoughts or over
generalization. Psychodynamic model states that the root cause
of mental illness is psychological
or emotional (Hemsley., 2019). Mood disorders such as manic
and depression is related to
6
unconscious mind and further, failed defense mechanisms.
Thus, this disorder relates to the
approach which suggests that most mental illnesses especially
in adults are due to suppressed
desires unresolved conflicts.
