Mental health stigma can be divided into two distinct types: social stigma is characterized by prejudicial attitudes and discriminating behaviour directed towards individuals with mental health problems as a result of the psychiatric label they have been given. In contrast, perceived stigma or self-stigma is the internalizing by the mental health sufferer of their perceptions of discrimination (Link, Cullen, Struening & Shrout, 1989), and perceived stigma can significantly affect feelings of shame and lead to poorer treatment outcomes (Perlick, Rosenheck, Clarkin, Sirey et al., 2001).

Geriatric depression is a common and serious problem. It affects 17-37% of older adults in primary care settings and 11-30% of older adult inpatients and long-term care residents. Risk factors include advancing age, living in long-term care, female gender, physical illness or disability, lack of social support, and low socioeconomic status. Symptoms include apathy, loss of interest, withdrawal, appetite changes, sleep problems, feelings of worthlessness, and vague physical complaints. Treatment involves ensuring safety, meeting physical needs, supportive counseling, group therapies, education, and medication management. Suicide risk is elevated and prevention requires limiting access, family involvement, contracts, and treating underlying depression.

What is a dissociative disorder power point composition ll labTammy_Brewer
The document discusses dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder. It notes that unlike popular portrayals, most people with DID work hard to hide the disorder and function well in daily life and jobs. However, subjects are at risk for substance abuse and relationship problems if abusive behavior is present. People with DID also commonly have other mental health issues like depression, PTSD, and self-harming behaviors. While dissociation is an effective survival technique, habitual use of it can lead to dysfunction even after traumatic events end.

This document provides information about dementia and Alzheimer's disease, including common symptoms, treatments, and tips for distinguishing normal aging from disease. Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline, and symptoms may include memory loss, changes in mood and behavior, and difficulties with tasks. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. It involves progressive brain cell failure and symptoms like memory loss that affects daily life. While dementia cannot be cured, treatments can help manage symptoms. Getting an accurate diagnosis is important to provide optimal care. A support system is also key for coping after a diagnosis.
How can you tell if forgetfulness is the result of normal age-related memory changes or if it's the result of something more? This is a very important distinction to make, and the earlier the better.

Arthritis affects one out of every five Americans – an estimated 52.5 million people – and is the leading cause of disability in the nation. The condition itself can make it difficult and painful to conduct even the most mundane daily tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, using a computer, or brushing your teeth. The term “arthritis” encompasses over 100 rheumatic conditions that impact the body’s joints, causing pain and inflammation to those who suffer with it.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts, disrupting sleep. An estimated 12 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea where the airway collapses during sleep. Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. While weight loss and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms, treatment often involves devices like CPAP machines that keep the airway open during sleep.
Griswold’s Christopher Kelly MEd, Director of Learning & Development, Dianne Kelly, RN Cardiac Cath Lab Assistant Manager, and a person living with heart disease discuss the nature, causes, symptoms, treatment and impact of heart disease in older adults.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage vision slowly over time by damaging the optic nerve. There are two main types - primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma may cause gradual vision loss and tunnel vision, while angle-closure glaucoma causes sudden, severe blurred vision and eye pain. Risk factors include high eye pressure, family history, age over 60, and certain medical conditions. An accurate diagnosis requires an eye exam and assessment of quality of life impacts such as problems with mobility, self-care, and activities like driving or reading. Treatment options include eye drop medications, laser surgery, other surgeries, and low vision rehabilitation.
This document provides information from a webinar on glaucoma presented by the Glaucoma Research Foundation. The webinar discussed what glaucoma is, including the types and risk factors. It covered how glaucoma is diagnosed and treated. It also addressed living with glaucoma and maintaining quality of life through management plans, adaptive tools, support groups and advocacy. The webinar emphasized that regular eye exams are important since glaucoma often has no early symptoms, and that early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent vision loss.
The document discusses key factors related to aging and driving safety. It notes that giving up driving independence can lead to isolation for older adults due to inability to participate in volunteer or work roles or spend time with family and friends. However, many older adults remain safe and excellent drivers. The document then outlines various age-related changes that can impact driving abilities like vision, hearing, reaction time and physical strength. It provides tools and resources for older adults and their families to assess driving skills, learn how to improve abilities, consider alternative transportation options and have important conversations about safety.
This infographic provides information about depression in older adults, noting that it is a treatable medical illness rather than a normal part of aging. It discusses the symptoms of depression, including memory problems, social withdrawal, and inability to sleep. Untreated depression can negatively impact physical health and increase risks like suicide. The infographic recommends treatment for depression in older adults should combine medication with therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and support groups.
The document summarizes the top 10 barriers to addressing Alzheimer's disease as identified by the Alzheimer's Association, including lack of public awareness, lack of funding for research, delayed diagnosis, inadequate dementia care, ineffective treatments, challenges for diverse and younger-onset communities, unprepared family caregivers, unprepared communities, and mounting costs. It also outlines the top 5 goals of the 2013 National Alzheimer's Plan to prevent and treat the disease by 2025 through enhancing care, awareness, family support, and tracking progress.

[Infographic] Living with the Repetitive Symptoms of DementiaGriswold Home Care
To recognize World Alzheimer's Awareness Month in September, we have created a highly visual infographic that captures the nature of repetitive symptoms and their impact on the lives of people living with dementia. Repetitive symptoms are often misunderstood and create frustration and exhaustion for clients and their family/professional caregivers. It is important to remember that people with dementia cannot control their symptoms. The good news is that there are effective tools and approaches that can improve our understanding and response to repetitive symptoms. Read on to learn about the common triggers for repetitive symptoms and how they can be managed. We hope that this infographic provides innovative, practical approaches that improve quality of life for all involved in dementia care and support.
We are very fortunate to have access to great tools, checklists, and resources related to Home Safety for people with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). To celebrate National Home Safety Week, we thought it would be important to validate the emotional side of Alzheimer’s safety issues. We also have an opportunity to learn more about the cause of safety issues.
We’ve all heard that protecting skin from the sun will help prevent it from aging. But if you’re already older, is there any point to worrying about sun damage? Since the skin becomes more delicate and vulnerable as we age, that means that it’s more important than ever for older adults to protect their skin from damage caused by the sun. Older adults need to take special precautions to limit their sun exposure as much as possible.
[INFOGRAPHIC] Uncovering Hidden Symptoms of Parkinson’s DiseaseGriswold Home Care
In 2012, the National Parkinson’s Foundation presented findings from the largest study to date of clients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and their caregivers – The Parkinson’s Outcomes Project – A report to the community. One key finding from this landmark study is that depression and anxiety had the greatest impact on health status for clients with PD.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease — is a disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and affect muscle movement. The ongoing damage from ALS causes motor neurons to die. When this occurs, the brain can no longer start or control muscle movement. This eventually can lead to paralysis.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
