Mental health and mental illness
It explains various types of mental illness and ways to over come. It also explains how the mental health and illness affects the economy.
Defense mechanism 28 04-2018
1) Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological strategies used to cope with reality and maintain self-image. They arise in response to anxiety from conflicts between the id, superego, and reality.
2) Sigmund Freud first introduced the concept of defense mechanisms in the 1890s and identified several early mechanisms like denial, displacement, and repression. Anna Freud further studied defenses and classified them.
3) Defenses allow temporary respite from changes, reduce instinctual drives, mitigate unresolved conflicts, and keep anxiety within limits. They can be adaptive or pathological depending on overuse.
Recovery 1
The document discusses rehabilitation and recovery in mental health. It defines rehabilitation as services that facilitate adaptation for people with disabilities. Recovery is defined as the lived experience of overcoming challenges of disability, whether illness is present or not. Key aspects of recovery include hope, personal responsibility, self-advocacy, education, and support. Recovery-oriented services have characteristics like conveying hope, respecting choice, and supporting wellness and community participation.
Therapeutic technique
Therapeutic communication is a face-to-face interaction between healthcare providers and patients that aims to advance the physical and emotional well-being of patients. It has three main purposes: collecting information about a patient's illness, assessing and modifying their behavior, and providing health education. Effective therapeutic communication requires active listening skills, observing both verbal and nonverbal cues, and interpreting the information collected in a sensitive manner. Mastering listening and observation skills is important for understanding patients and identifying their needs.
Health psychology
The document discusses the field of health psychology. It defines health psychology as focusing on how biology, psychology, behavior, and social factors influence health and illness. Health psychology examines topics like what makes people sick, why people respond differently to illness, and how coping styles affect disease progression. The field of health psychology includes clinical, community, occupational, and public health psychology. It also examines the mind-body connection and the role of health psychologists in understanding illness, providing professional help and support, and implementing preventive measures and health behavior change.
Stress ,conflict and frustration
This document discusses stress, conflict, and frustration. It defines stress as a mental, physical, or emotional strain on the body that can be caused by internal or external stressors. Conflict is defined as friction between two desires or goals. The document outlines different types of conflicts including intrapersonal, approach-approach, avoidance-avoidance, and approach-avoidance conflicts. Frustration refers to the blocking of behavior directed towards a goal. Sources of frustration include environmental obstacles, unattainable personal goals, and motivational conflicts. The document also discusses stages of stress response, symptoms of stress, and ways for nurses to overcome frustration and conflict, including identifying sources and seeking reliable help.
Understanding Mental Health and Mental Illness
Mental health refers to maintaining successful mental functioning and relationships, while being able to cope with stress and change. Mental illness occurs when the brain is not working properly, disrupting thinking, emotion, behavior, or physical functioning. Symptoms include problems with sleep, mood, thinking, or attention. When symptoms significantly impair a person's life, they have a mental disorder. The causes of mental illness are complex and involve genetics and environment interacting to disrupt normal brain functioning. Mental illnesses can be treated, and most people with mental disorders live productive lives with treatment.
Mental health
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted mental health worldwide. Social isolation and stress about the virus, health, jobs and financial security have increased anxiety, depression, and exacerbated existing mental illness. Accessing mental health services has also become more difficult due to social distancing. Coping strategies include exercising, connecting with others virtually, getting enough sleep, and avoiding drugs/alcohol. However, the Philippines lacks sufficient mental healthcare resources as there is less than one provider per 100,000 people.

Mental Health
Mental health refers to a state of well-being where an individual can cope with normal stresses, work productively, and contribute to their community. Characteristics of good mental health include a positive self-concept, sense of responsibility, ability to adapt to change, and ability to accept criticism. Factors like heredity, physical health, and socio-cultural influences can affect mental health. The modern Philippine art era produced notable artists like Jose Joya, Vicente Manansala, and Napoleon Abueva whose works depicted themes of abstraction, poverty, and allegory respectively. Other artists included landscape painter Hernando Ocampo and intellectual painter Prodencio Lamarosa.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
