Suicidal adolescents
Much has been said and written about suicide and its prevalence among the youth, especially in today’s world, when the average tolerance level of not only the youngsters but also the adults has gone down considerably. There are cases in the paper reporting suicide by eleven year olds; suicide by young men or women because their relationship didn’t work out or because they got less marks than expected. The question we have to ask is that can we do anything about it? And the answer is a big YES. Of course, we can.

Depression
Depression is described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down. Some signs of depression include feeling hopeless, loss of interest in activities, difficulties sleeping, excessive thinking about mistakes, and thoughts of suicide. Physical symptoms can include changes in appetite, fatigue, aches and pains, and feelings of emptiness. There are several types of depression including anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression related to physical illness, and seasonal affective disorder. Rates of depression are increasing, with 15% of developed countries experiencing severe depression and 30% of women experiencing depression.
We all have a place in this world
Bullying, abuse, mental illness, and pressure can lead people, especially youth, to experience suicidal thoughts. Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, with over 4 million people committing suicide each year in Canada alone. Those considering suicide should seek help by talking to a therapist, calling helplines, or opening up to trusted friends and family. To prevent further suicides, we must make others feel welcomed and supported through kindness rather than judgment, and encourage open communication about mental health issues and feelings of depression or being unwanted.
Self-Injurious Behavior
This document discusses self-injurious behaviors (SIB), providing examples like cutting, substance abuse, and head-banging. SIB is defined as intentionally injuring one's body tissue without suicidal intent. It is described as a coping mechanism for difficult feelings like sadness or emptiness, though only a temporary solution. Those who engage in SIB often experience abuse, low self-esteem, and were discouraged from emotional expression. The document outlines signs of SIB and recommends treating students with respect, alternative outlets, and seeking medical help for severe cases.
Color psychology
Colors have psychological effects on human behavior and mood. Red stimulates faster heart rate and is associated with passion, while blue is calming and the most popular color. Green symbolizes nature, peace, and growth. Marketers effectively use color to attract consumers and influence their perceptions and choices. Understanding color psychology can help achieve success in business, career, and personal life.
Unit 11-lesson-3
The document discusses colour therapy and the emotional effects of different colors. It describes how a mother is worried about her 15-year-old daughter Jane, who seems sad and unhappy. The mother talks to Mrs. Jenkins, who is described as being able to help with colour therapy. Mrs. Jenkins advises that Jane wears more blue and green colors instead of red, as red can make people more emotional. She also recommends giving Jane orange and yellow foods to improve her appetite and skin problems.
Teen depression project
Teen depression has different symptoms than adult depression. Teens may feel irritable and angry rather than sad, and experience physical pains like headaches. Left untreated, teen depression can lead to problems like failing grades at school, reckless behavior, drug addiction, and even suicide. It is important for parents to seek help from a medical professional if their teen exhibits signs of depression like withdrawal, changes in eating or sleeping, and feelings of worthlessness. Talking to a depressed teen and encouraging them to express their emotions can also provide relief while they undergo counseling and therapy treatment.

Recent research shows the strong connection between emotional and physical health, though Western medicine often ignores the impact of negative emotions.

The document discusses that being overwhelmed by emotions, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and an inability to cope with life's challenges can indicate mental unhealthiness.

Introduction and history of mental illness
Early explanations of mental illness involved possession by demons or evil spirits. People with mental illnesses were often tortured to drive out demons. By the 18th century, madness began to be seen as an illness rather than demonic possession, leading thousands to be released from torture to asylums with medical treatment. Today, the medical model and influence of psychology both contribute to understanding and treating mental disorders, which are classified according to standardized diagnostic criteria.
