Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014), captures in a publication in reference to a study that he conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health is done away with to enable as many people suffering from mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life. Mental health problems arise when there is a disruption in mental well-being.
The risk factors to mental health problems are not limited and therefore everyone is entitled to the problem irrespective of gender, economic status, and ethnic group. For example, data shows that in America one out of five individuals experience mental health problems annually; with mental disorders being recognized as the leading cause of disability not only in the United States but also globally (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). Mental health disorders are seen to be complex and of many forms such as anxiety, mood, and schizophren.

The meaning of learning to live with medically
unexplained symptoms as narrated by patients in primary
care: A phenomenological�hermeneutic study

Abstract
Background: Although research about medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) is extensive, problems still affect a
large group of primary care patients. Most research seems to address the topic from a problem-oriented, medical
perspective, and there is a lack of research addressing the topic from a perspective viewing the patient as a capable person
with potential and resources to manage daily life. The aim of the present study is to describe and interpret the experiences of
learning to live with MUS as narrated by patients in primary health-care settings.
Methods: A phenomenological�hermeneutic method was used. Narrative interviews were performed with ten patients
suffering from MUS aged 24�61 years. Data were analysed in three steps: naive reading, structural analysis, and
comprehensive understanding.
Findings: The findings revealed a learning process that is presented in two themes. The first, feeling that the symptoms
overwhelm life, involved becoming restricted and dependent in daily life and losing the sense of self. The second, gaining
insights and moving on, was based on subthemes describing the patients’ search for explanations, learning to take care of
oneself, as well as learning to accept and becoming mindful. The findings were reflected against Antonovsky’s theory of sense
of coherence and Kelly’s personal construct theory. Possibilities and obstacles, on an individual as well as a structural level,
for promoting patients’ capacity and learning were illuminated.
Conclusions: Patients suffering from MUS constantly engage in a reflective process involving reasoning about and
interpretation of their symptoms. Their efforts to describe their symptoms to healthcare professionals are part of this
reflection and search for meaning. The role of healthcare professionals in the interpretative process should be acknowledged
as a conventional and necessary care activity.

Colleague 1: Brooke
Somatic symptom disorders are mental disorders that manifest with physical symptoms that are not always clear to explain with medical diagnosis (APA, 2013). One specific example of such a disorder is the Illness Anxiety Disorder (F45.21). This disorder is diagnosed when there is a pervasive and impacting preoccupation with having a serious medical condition in circumstances when no predisposition or existing symptomatology indicate there should be medical concern (APA, 2013). The diagnosed individual will exhibit heightened anxiety regarding their perceived condition. Furthermore, the diagnosis is classified as either “care-seeking type,” whereby the individual frequently seeks out medical guidance from professionals or “care-avoidant type: whereby the individual avoids medical care despite their ongoing concerns (APA, 2013).
This can present a unique challenge for guiding professionals, as the client is potentially in need of both medical and mental health care. Therefore, a biopsychosocial assessment is recommended to gain the most thorough, comprehensive picture of the client and their current set of circumstances. This multi aspect evaluation serves to understand the biological, or physical, contributors to the individual’s somatic diagnosis, while also delving into their perceptions and beliefs (psychological) and their social environment and experiences. When this information is gathered from these varied perspectives, intervention can be designed to target specific areas of need, with the understanding that medical care may be required, concurrently, with mental health support (Dimsdale, Patel, Xin and Kleinman, 2007).
Because of the complexity of such diagnoses, a multidisciplinary approach is deemed most effective when working with such clients. Because of the psychological involvement in this disorder, psychotherapy aimed at modifying existing thought patterns would be considered sound practice (Kirmayer and Sartorius, 2007). To expand, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be applied, increasing the client's awareness of their current thought patterns, possible triggers and strategies to combat negative thinking. Additionally, the prescription of medication to address the co-occurring anxiety or other resulting physical symptoms would be provided by a medical professional, such as a psychiatrist. This approach, widely accepted, allows for the client’s case to be viewed through different lenses.
While there is certainly significant validity in approaching such cases through a multidisciplinary team, the professionals required to ensure this effective intervention all have to be “on board.” This may require advocacy on the part of a social worker to convey the importance of employing this approach. It can b ...

DiscussionThe contribution of friends and family in mental healtDustiBuckner14
Discussion
The contribution of friends and family in mental health is crucial. From the results, the researches show the importance of family and friends in enhancing the recovery of people living with mental challenges. How fast or slowly people recover from mental health issues is dependent majorly on the social support they get from friends and family. These are the closest people that the patient has with them. The findings from the five studies brought out a great insight into the role played by family and friends in helping people with different mental disorders like depression.
The results supported the primary hypothesis that family and friends have been the most important components in supporting the people suffering from mental health problems. From the sampled research articles, social support for those with mental disorders is majorly provided by family and friends. People who have mental issues and lack social support take long to recover even when therapies are being undertaken. They also find it hard to associate with other people. By looking at the university students presented by Alsubaie et al (2020), family and friends support can evade people from mental health challenges. From the sample, the university students who have mental health issues lack social support from their families and friends. These students end up in depression and stress which becomes a major setback to their mental health. Additionally, those who have mental health issues take long time to recover when they lack social support.
Lack of social support is majorly quantified as stigmatization. People with mental health problems feel stigmatized and left out of families and friends groups if these people are not close to them. These people may sometimes feel like they are not accepted. The feeling of being segregated makes them think more of their mental conditions resulting into more instances of depression. The preference for mental health issues among those who receive social support from their families and friends is very low. This shows that the families and friends have a great role to play in mental health of those either with mental disorders or those at risk of getting these diseases. This help should be rendered at all times to increase the rate of recovery for those already affected. One of the best ways of reducing the instances of new mental health issues in the community is by offering social support to those already suffering from these disorders in order to recover faster. Additionally, when those in the verge of getting these disorders, especially the adolescents and the young adults are given this support, their chances of getting the disorders will be low and in that case, the community will be safe from mental disorders. The results thus support the hypothesis that of the research that family and friends support is important for mental health.

Activity: Week 2 SWOT PowerPoint
Due Week 2 and worth 200 points
Dr. John Bradley is an Emergency Room physician. He worked a 24-hour shift due to a staff shortage. As a result, he had a patient that died because he failed to provide a duty of care, he breached his duty, and caused an injury. A prima facie case of negligence was established when Dr. Bradley failed to provide appropriate medical care. Liability was also based on ‘res ipsa loguitor’ (the thing speaks for itself). The incident is considered a Sentinel Event and must be reported to The Joint Commission (a non-profit hospital regulatory agency).
After a trend analysis of several Sentinel Events, “We Care Hospital” fired the Health Care Administrator. As a result, you were hired as the new Health Care Administrator. You have reviewed the Sentinel Event with Dr. John Bradley and discovered several factors that showed the hospital was negligent. The three basic forms for negligence are malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. Your first task is to rationalize your answers by using any applicable legal precedents.

The Stigma of Mental Illness
The Stigma of Mental Illness
The importance of stigma and the lack of mental support has suffered throughout history. Ask yourself, if people with mental issues and the lack of support should change and be accepted into all social norms? Or should they continue to not be supported over something they have no control over? Stigma has been well-defined as undesirable opinions, observations and relations which can cause discrimination according to the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, (2014). Mental illness is a syndrome that affects your mood, thought process, actions and present distress in social functions and occupational involvements.
As a result of mental distress, intimidation, brutality and alienation has been known to take place because people feel you may be unstable or dangerous, which is due to the distancing that is the place between each other, in addition to rejection and abandonment their reactions may become negative and sometimes violent in the nature of harming themselves or committing suicide all because of the lack of understanding of what mental illness is and how it affects the individual.
Mental illness stigmatization can also result in a poor understanding amongst family members and as an end result making them feel they are not able to seek treatment, or cure and cause the individual to seek other options when they feel they have no one that can help them understand what’s going on with themselves. These other options include marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs and cigarettes can be a great start for those people scared to seek help with mental health issues Aviram, R. B., Brodsky, B. S. (2006).
This is where peer support is needed, it is so important for mental health patients to realize they have a sense of belonging and that they are not alone when dealing with their mental health issues. According to the SAMHSA.gov, peer support is one of the strategies that can help you to improve the state of mental health in America. Access to peer support is an effective way of enhancing the quality of life when always understand peer support as any form of assistance that comes from people who share characteristics or experiences relating to things that are in common. For instance, for patients with mental health issues, peer support includes: knowledge, emotional and social assistance that one may get from a person who has the same experiences.
Additionally, mental illness stigmatization can result in insufficient health insurance coverage of mental ailments by organizations. This can include being turned down for job opportunities or recognitions due to their illness. People with emotional disabilities tend to have issues with .

Research topic
To assess the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking.
Research problem
Most studies have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. Stigmatization have resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Most studies have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth.
Research purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to assess in depth the role that mental-health stigma contribute in help seeking.
Research objectives
a) To review the background history of mental-health related stigma and mental problem or illness
b) To explore the impacts of stigma
c) To assess an association between the contributing factors of stigma to help seeking
d) To assess the extent in which these factors of stigma contribute to help seeking.
e) To assess the risk factors influencing help seeking with regard to stigma
Research questions
a) What is the association between stigma towards mental health patients and help-seeking?
b) To what degree does stigma constitute a barrier to the search for help among mental health patients?
c) Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking help due to stigma?
Research Hypothesis
Ho: stigma towards mental health patients have a significant role in influencing help seeking
Ha: the extent to which stigma influences help seeking is not significant
Theoretical framework
Stigma has been described as a negative effect of a label and the product of disgrace that makes a person to be apart from others (Henderson et al., 2013). It is built upon distinct constructs prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes (Henderson et al., 2013). For example, believing that those people diagnosed with mental illness is stereotype. Also, agreeing with the fact that those with mental problem are indeed dangerous with a resultant fear or anger is prejudice while discrimination is the total avoidance to those with mental conditi.

Abstract
In recent a post, oppositional disorder diseases has been on the rise, raising questions about the manner in which diseases is spreading especially among children. The high prevalence levels of the oppositional disorder have raised more concerns especially form the health, sectors thus developing the need to understand the disorder better. This research paper will, therefore, encompass a broad perspective of oppositional disorder disease to effectively understand how it is manifested, various ways in which it manifests itself to develop preventive strategy much earlier before the situation reaches full-blown.
Unlike the common conduct disorder where the patient is more aggressive towards people and animals, the oppositional disorder is more silent, and it takes time for it to be detected. The lifetime prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 10.2%. The disease is mostly observed in children and adolescents across the globe.
Some of the common symptoms of the disease involve a certain behavior where children’s behavior is much different compared to their peers. A patient suffering from oppositional disorder tends to have a turn in their behavior including regular loose of temper, being angry and resentful, argues with authorities without any significant reason. It is importance to note that the persistence and frequency of these behaviors should be used to differentiate between normal behavior and symptoms of the oppositional disorder. The disease causes a massive effect on patient’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The most common cause of the oppositional disorder is the genetic influence. Research has shown that parents tend to pass on expressing disorder to their children, and it may be displayed in multiple ways. The disease can be easily diagnosed basing on the extent at which the change of behavior causes distress to the family members or drastic changes in academic and social functioning. These behaviors must persist.
“A Study on Mental Health Problems of Adolescent” with Special Reference to C...ijtsrd
Mental health problems are very worldwide among adolescent. This may be due to the truth that attending family members to a difficult time for many traditional and non traditional among adolescent. Adolescent after effecting high school are typically younger, depend on parents for financial support, and do not work or work part time. Thus, in addition to stress related to academic load, these adolescent may have to face the task of taking on more adult like responsibilities lacking having yet mastered the skills and cognitive maturity of adulthood. Stress, life events, past experiences and genetics all play a part in determining our mental health. Student life exposes individuals to risk factors affecting mental health including financial worries, periods of transition, substance use, parental pressure, culture shock and disconnection from previous supports. Descriptive research design and simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A sample size of 60 people was collected using planned interviews. In this study conclude that 61 of the respondents had good mental health, 24 had moderate mental health, and the remaining 15 respondents had poor mental health. Dr. R. Revathi Priya | Ms. Vaishnavi.

Although mental illness is not a normal part of aging, at least 20% of older adults have one or more mental health conditions (Wheeler, 2014). The client in your post appears to be dealing with trauma or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This changing demographic will likely mean an increased need for mental health resources and services, especially as they relate to trauma exposure in this age group (Cook & Simiola, 2017). Many older adults may have experienced trauma but do not recognize the potential detrimental health effects or disclose these experiences to health care providers (Cook & Similoa, 2017). As future psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP) it is important to offer an environment of trust so that these individuals are able to disclose their true thoughts and experiences. Being aware of what the client has gone through will allow the provider to best create a treatment plan that benefits the client.

Thank you for your post regarding counseling older adults. As this population is expected to increase over the next decade, it is important to understand the implications of working with this age group. New research has shown that understanding potential in relation to aging will allow the older population to access latent skills and talents later in life (Wheeler, 2014).Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with older adults should be proficient at assessing the status of their client’s cognitive, affective, functional, physical, and behavioral function, as well as their family dynamics (Wheeler, 2014). Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can be used for the older adult. DBT was originally developed as a treatment for individuals meeting criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD) and those experiencing chronic suicidal ideation (Stein, Hearon, Beard, Hsu, & Bjoergvinsson, 2016). More recently, adapted forms of DBT have been used effectively as both primary and adjunctive treatments fora range of psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder, treatment-resistant depression, and eating disorders (Stein et al., 2016). In practice, this writer has seen that older adults seem to put their mental health on the back burner. They often ...
DiscussionThe contribution of friends and family in mental healtDustiBuckner14
Discussion
The contribution of friends and family in mental health is crucial. From the results, the researches show the importance of family and friends in enhancing the recovery of people living with mental challenges. How fast or slowly people recover from mental health issues is dependent majorly on the social support they get from friends and family. These are the closest people that the patient has with them. The findings from the five studies brought out a great insight into the role played by family and friends in helping people with different mental disorders like depression.
The results supported the primary hypothesis that family and friends have been the most important components in supporting the people suffering from mental health problems. From the sampled research articles, social support for those with mental disorders is majorly provided by family and friends. People who have mental issues and lack social support take long to recover even when therapies are being undertaken. They also find it hard to associate with other people. By looking at the university students presented by Alsubaie et al (2020), family and friends support can evade people from mental health challenges. From the sample, the university students who have mental health issues lack social support from their families and friends. These students end up in depression and stress which becomes a major setback to their mental health. Additionally, those who have mental health issues take long time to recover when they lack social support.
Lack of social support is majorly quantified as stigmatization. People with mental health problems feel stigmatized and left out of families and friends groups if these people are not close to them. These people may sometimes feel like they are not accepted. The feeling of being segregated makes them think more of their mental conditions resulting into more instances of depression. The preference for mental health issues among those who receive social support from their families and friends is very low. This shows that the families and friends have a great role to play in mental health of those either with mental disorders or those at risk of getting these diseases. This help should be rendered at all times to increase the rate of recovery for those already affected. One of the best ways of reducing the instances of new mental health issues in the community is by offering social support to those already suffering from these disorders in order to recover faster. Additionally, when those in the verge of getting these disorders, especially the adolescents and the young adults are given this support, their chances of getting the disorders will be low and in that case, the community will be safe from mental disorders. The results thus support the hypothesis that of the research that family and friends support is important for mental health.

Dr. John Bradley is an Emergency Room physician. He worked a 24-hour shift due to a staff shortage. As a result, he had a patient that died because he failed to provide a duty of care, he breached his duty, and caused an injury. A prima facie case of negligence was established when Dr. Bradley failed to provide appropriate medical care. Liability was also based on ‘res ipsa loguitor’ (the thing speaks for itself). The incident is considered a Sentinel Event and must be reported to The Joint Commission (a non-profit hospital regulatory agency).
After a trend analysis of several Sentinel Events, “We Care Hospital” fired the Health Care Administrator. As a result, you were hired as the new Health Care Administrator. You have reviewed the Sentinel Event with Dr. John Bradley and discovered several factors that showed the hospital was negligent. The three basic forms for negligence are malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. Your first task is to rationalize your answers by using any applicable legal precedents.

The Stigma of Mental Illness
The Stigma of Mental Illness
The importance of stigma and the lack of mental support has suffered throughout history. Ask yourself, if people with mental issues and the lack of support should change and be accepted into all social norms? Or should they continue to not be supported over something they have no control over? Stigma has been well-defined as undesirable opinions, observations and relations which can cause discrimination according to the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, (2014). Mental illness is a syndrome that affects your mood, thought process, actions and present distress in social functions and occupational involvements.
As a result of mental distress, intimidation, brutality and alienation has been known to take place because people feel you may be unstable or dangerous, which is due to the distancing that is the place between each other, in addition to rejection and abandonment their reactions may become negative and sometimes violent in the nature of harming themselves or committing suicide all because of the lack of understanding of what mental illness is and how it affects the individual.
Mental illness stigmatization can also result in a poor understanding amongst family members and as an end result making them feel they are not able to seek treatment, or cure and cause the individual to seek other options when they feel they have no one that can help them understand what’s going on with themselves. These other options include marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs and cigarettes can be a great start for those people scared to seek help with mental health issues Aviram, R. B., Brodsky, B. S. (2006).
This is where peer support is needed, it is so important for mental health patients to realize they have a sense of belonging and that they are not alone when dealing with their mental health issues. According to the SAMHSA.gov, peer support is one of the strategies that can help you to improve the state of mental health in America. Access to peer support is an effective way of enhancing the quality of life when always understand peer support as any form of assistance that comes from people who share characteristics or experiences relating to things that are in common. For instance, for patients with mental health issues, peer support includes: knowledge, emotional and social assistance that one may get from a person who has the same experiences.
Additionally, mental illness stigmatization can result in insufficient health insurance coverage of mental ailments by organizations. This can include being turned down for job opportunities or recognitions due to their illness. People with emotional disabilities tend to have issues with .

EBP Project Proposal Draft
Research topic
To assess the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking.
Research problem
Most studies have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. Stigmatization have resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Most studies have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth.
Research purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to assess in depth the role that mental-health stigma contribute in help seeking.
Research objectives
a) To review the background history of mental-health related stigma and mental problem or illness
b) To explore the impacts of stigma
c) To assess an association between the contributing factors of stigma to help seeking
d) To assess the extent in which these factors of stigma contribute to help seeking.
e) To assess the risk factors influencing help seeking with regard to stigma
Research questions
a) What is the association between stigma towards mental health patients and help-seeking?
b) To what degree does stigma constitute a barrier to the search for help among mental health patients?
c) Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking help due to stigma?
Research Hypothesis
Ho: stigma towards mental health patients have a significant role in influencing help seeking
Ha: the extent to which stigma influences help seeking is not significant
Theoretical framework
Stigma has been described as a negative effect of a label and the product of disgrace that makes a person to be apart from others (Henderson et al., 2013). It is built upon distinct constructs prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes (Henderson et al., 2013). For example, believing that those people diagnosed with mental illness is stereotype. Also, agreeing with the fact that those with mental problem are indeed dangerous with a resultant fear or anger is prejudice while discrimination is the total avoidance to those with mental conditi.

Abstract
In recent a post, oppositional disorder diseases has been on the rise, raising questions about the manner in which diseases is spreading especially among children. The high prevalence levels of the oppositional disorder have raised more concerns especially form the health, sectors thus developing the need to understand the disorder better. This research paper will, therefore, encompass a broad perspective of oppositional disorder disease to effectively understand how it is manifested, various ways in which it manifests itself to develop preventive strategy much earlier before the situation reaches full-blown.
Unlike the common conduct disorder where the patient is more aggressive towards people and animals, the oppositional disorder is more silent, and it takes time for it to be detected. The lifetime prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 10.2%. The disease is mostly observed in children and adolescents across the globe.
Some of the common symptoms of the disease involve a certain behavior where children’s behavior is much different compared to their peers. A patient suffering from oppositional disorder tends to have a turn in their behavior including regular loose of temper, being angry and resentful, argues with authorities without any significant reason. It is importance to note that the persistence and frequency of these behaviors should be used to differentiate between normal behavior and symptoms of the oppositional disorder. The disease causes a massive effect on patient’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The most common cause of the oppositional disorder is the genetic influence. Research has shown that parents tend to pass on expressing disorder to their children, and it may be displayed in multiple ways. The disease can be easily diagnosed basing on the extent at which the change of behavior causes distress to the family members or drastic changes in academic and social functioning. These behaviors must persist.

Mental health problems are very worldwide among adolescent. This may be due to the truth that attending family members to a difficult time for many traditional and non traditional among adolescent. Adolescent after effecting high school are typically younger, depend on parents for financial support, and do not work or work part time. Thus, in addition to stress related to academic load, these adolescent may have to face the task of taking on more adult like responsibilities lacking having yet mastered the skills and cognitive maturity of adulthood. Stress, life events, past experiences and genetics all play a part in determining our mental health. Student life exposes individuals to risk factors affecting mental health including financial worries, periods of transition, substance use, parental pressure, culture shock and disconnection from previous supports. Descriptive research design and simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A sample size of 60 people was collected using planned interviews. In this study conclude that 61 of the respondents had good mental health, 24 had moderate mental health, and the remaining 15 respondents had poor mental health. Dr. R. Revathi Priya | Ms. Vaishnavi.

PSYCHOLOGY AND DEPRESSION 2 Introduction Several psychological problems affect the
elderly, and one of them is depression. The elderly need great attention and quality care to
help them maintain good mental health in their old age. However, there has been a great
challenge in offsetting the prevalence of depression in this target group due to negative
perceptions concerning the disorder. The purpose of this study is identifying, “What are the
self-perceptions and stigma in society that prevent the elderly with depression from
receiving the care they need in terms of medication, social support, and therapy and how
does this impact the patients?” The paper will analyze researches by Scazufca et al., (2016);

Introduction Several psychological problems affect the elderly, and one of them is
depression. The elderly need great attention and quality care to help them maintain good
mental health in their old age. However, there has been a great challenge in offsetting the
prevalence of depression in this target group due to negative perceptions concerning the
disorder. The purpose of this study is identifying, “What are the self-perceptions and stigma
in society that prevent the elderly with depression from receiving the care they need in
terms of medication, social support, and therapy and how does this impact the patients?”
The paper will analyze researches by Scazufca et al., (2016); Stark et al., (2018); Wilby and
Barusch, (2012), Holm et al., (2014) and Overend et al., (2015). The selected peer-reviewed
empirical studies will help in understanding how the stigmatization of the elderly with
depression prevents them from getting adequate care. Annotated bibliography Holm, A. L.,

that stigmatizing attitudes towards the elderly with depression is a prevalent problem that
has contributed to diagnostic overshadowing. The authors who are wellversed in subject
areas of nursing and medicine performed at study to explore the life experiences of
depressed elderly persons who have other physical health issues. The research journal
shows that many patients struggle with emotional and physical pain since society, including
health practitioners, treat them as strangers. This is a barrier that prevents them from
talking about their mental situation; seek social support, or medical attention. With that in
mind, 2 HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY AND DEPRESSION the article is a useful source since it
illustrates significant challenges that the elderly face in their quest for receiving help for
their psychological health. Scazufca, M., P de Paula Couto, M. C., Huang, H., Kester, R., Braga,

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4924821/ In this article, the researchers
unveil that public stigma is a factor that prevents the elderly with depression from
accessing care services. They describe public stigma as the existence of negative reactions
and discrimination against the elderly with depression. The researchers conducted a cross-
sectional study to understand the mental health perceptions in the selected setting, São
Paulo and Manaus, in Brazil and how it prevented the elderly from receiving treatment. This
article is quite elaborate since the facts presented are supported by peer-reviewed studies
which enhance the credibility of the information provided. Hence, this article will give
impactful details for the research question since it shows that the perceptions of
dangerousness among the elderly with depression in communities prevent them from
accessing healthcare services. Stark, A., Kaduszkiewicz, H., Stein, J., Maier, W., Heser, K.,

3#authorinformation 3 HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY AND DEPRESSION The lead author in this
article who is well versed in geriatrics presents a study which demonstrates that 17.1% of
patients of 75 years and above have depression. The researchers aimed at establishing
patients’ perceptions concerning for their mental condition. Based on qualitative research
that involved semi-constructed interviews, findings revealed that these patients had
misconceptions about depression treatment. They also expressed the fear of discrimination
in their social networks if they discussed their mental illness. The findings presented in the
article are reliable since they establish factors that prevent the elderly with depression from
getting treatment. The emerging factors are adverse reactions in society concerning the
disorder and general practitioners showing little concern in considering depression as a
critical health issue. Overend, K., Bosanquet, K., Bailey, D., Foster, D., Gascoyne, S., Lewis, H.,

within a randomized controlled trial. BMC family practice, 16, 142. Retrieved from

lead author, Overend is affiliated to Research Institute, Primary Care and Health Sciences in
the University of New York. Together with other researchers, they demonstrate that
depression is a hidden health condition among older adults. From the randomized-
controlled trial qualitative survey, the investigators discovered that depression is a
condition that is normalized with other physical ailments. With the results that are
uncovered from the research, general practitioners provide a poor prognosis of depression
among the elderly due to the negative perceptions they have concerning the disorder.
Hence, such information will be impactful in answering the stated research question, and it
will also guide in establishing the gaps in health care whereby health psychology is not
taken seriously. 4 HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY AND DEPRESSION Wilby, M. S. W. F, Barusch A
