Lack of Mental Health Awareness In The Workplace
This presentation was presented at the Pittsburgh Carnegie Library, Business and Technology Series event in December of 2013. This presentation discusses the problems associated with corporations, organizations, and other businesses in failing to bring awareness to the existence of mental health. This presentation also touches upon the inability of employees to seek mental health care without fearing loss of employment, loss of confidentiality, or stigma.
Most employees have legal or federal rights to protect their mental health information from employers, but there are exceptions to this rule. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), which supposedly protects all mental and medical health information from being exposed, is briefly discussed.
Mental Health in a Failed American System
Recent tragic events like Sandy Hook, Seattle Pacific University, and the DC Navy Yard shooting have propelled issues in the mental health system to the forefront of our minds. Many of us continue to struggle with the reality that crimes, violent acts, and even murders are occurring almost weekly, perhaps even daily. We struggle with understanding why and how such evil can continue to elude us. Aren't our schools protected and prepared for tragedies like that of Sandy Hook Elementary School? Aren't our police trained and ready for catastrophes involving mental illness? Can't our mental health professionals cure the sick? All of these questions swarm through the minds and hearts of people everywhere, including those, such as myself, who work in the field of psychology.
The answers are hidden beneath a facade of control in our hospitals, clinics, and schools. The truth is that we live in a failed system that lacks the necessary tools to protect society from evil, from illness that controls the mind and consciousness of some of our fellow citizens. Because of this, it is important that families understand severe and untreated mental illness, while maintaining a balanced perspective. While the majority of individuals with mental illness do not intend to harm anyone, there is a great number of cases in which homicide or violence and aggression is likely.
For those who have questions about our failed system, this presentation is for you.

Mental health ppt.
Mental health is essential to overall health and well-being. It involves how one thinks, feels, and acts when facing life's situations. Key aspects of mental health include cognitive thoughts, emotional feelings, and behavioral actions. Maintaining positive mental health requires recognizing thoughts and feelings, understanding where they come from, and responding to them in healthy ways. It also means taking care of one's physical, emotional, and social needs through a balanced lifestyle and stress management. Seeking help is important when warning signs of mental health issues emerge.
Understanding Mental Health and Mental Illness
The document discusses mental health and mental illness. It defines mental health as maintaining successful mental activity and fulfilling relationships while adapting to change. Mental illness occurs when the brain is not functioning properly, disrupting thinking, emotions, behavior, or physical functioning. Common symptoms include sleep problems, mood swings, and difficulty focusing. Mental illness is caused by a complex interplay between genetics and environment and results in abnormal brain functioning. While some illnesses begin in childhood, others often emerge during adolescence. Most people with mental illness can live productive lives with treatment. The document encourages seeking help from others if experiencing prolonged sadness, anger, or risky behaviors.

Discrimination of Mental Illness
This document discusses discrimination faced by those with mental illness. It begins by defining mental illness and noting that approximately 1 in 5 adults experience a mental health condition. Historically, mental illness was viewed as religious punishment or demonic possession. Today, those with mental illness often face stigma, lack of employment and healthcare opportunities, homelessness, incarceration rather than treatment, and higher suicide risks. The document argues for increasing education and awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting access to psychiatric care and crisis intervention services to improve outcomes for those with mental health conditions.
Mentally ill
This document discusses the negative perception of mental illness and its consequences. It notes that over 50 million Americans have a diagnosed mental illness. However, media often depicts the mentally ill as dangerous or scary. This stigma discourages people from seeking help and leads to social isolation. As a result, homelessness and substance abuse are more common among the mentally ill. The document argues that mental illness should be treated like any other medical condition. It suggests educating the public, speaking positively about mental health, and increasing support for treatment services.
Global Impact Mi
Mental illness is highly prevalent around the world, affecting over 1 billion people. It occurs in people of all backgrounds and often first arises during teenage years. However, many cases remain undiagnosed and untreated for nearly a decade on average. Mental illness is associated with high suicide rates and loss of productivity, contributing to over 15% of disability worldwide. It also has a significant economic impact, accounting for around 2.5% of GDP in some countries due to healthcare costs and lost work. While funding for mental healthcare is inadequate in many places, evidence shows that with proper treatment including medication, therapy and social support, those with mental illness can often regain their health and participate fully in society.

Journal Club Final
This document discusses structural racism in child and adolescent psychiatry. It notes that mental health issues have risen to crisis levels among youth, especially for communities of color. However, there is a shortage of mental health professionals, disproportionately impacting low-income minority communities. Studies find that African American youth are more likely to be misdiagnosed with disorders like ODD or receive more severe diagnoses like schizophrenia. This is due to a lack of cultural competence and implicit biases among providers that view behaviors of color as more disruptive or dangerous. The document calls for providers to recognize the impact of adversity and racism on youth mental health and presentation to provide more equitable care.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
and Modern Psychiatry
T
he human brain has evolved to cope with intermittent ordinary
stressors, such as hunger, pain, and isolation, but the brain is
not well adapted to handle stressors that are outside the realm
of normal human experience. Certainly such extreme stressors
occurred occasionally in the human evolutionary past; however, the
modern world presents humans with abundant opportunities to expe-
rience extreme stress, the sort of stress associated with post-trau-
matic stress disorder. These experiences include war; rape or sexual
abuse; being hit or harmed by someone in your family; violent crime;
airplane or car crashes; hurricane, tornado, or fire; any event in
which you thought you might be killed; or witnessing any of these
events. Today we know that post-traumatic stress disorder is a real
disorder with severe consequences; to appreciate the significance of
this, remember that until recently this disorder and many mental ill-
nesses were misunderstood. Prior to the twentieth century, mental
illnesses were primarily attributed to human fault and hostility,
magic, or divine forces. The mentally ill were treated by confinement
in prisons and asylums. Reforms in the treatment of the mentally ill
started after the French Revolution with Franz Mesmer, an Austrian
physician, who established rapport with patients. Emil Kraepelin
began the modern classification of psychiatry in the nineteenth cen-
tury. Modern psychiatry, founded in the twentieth century by Sig-
mund Freud, is credited with a comprehensive approach to under-
standing development, emotion, beha ...
