This document contains revision materials for a unit on mental health. It begins with a definition of mental health and then lists several key concepts covered in the unit, including normality, classifying mental disorders, labelling and stigma, and the biopsychosocial approach. It also lists physiological and psychological responses to stress, allostasis, coping with stress, and anxiety. The remainder of the document consists of sample questions and answers related to these concepts.
Consciousness refers to awareness of one's own existence, thoughts, sensations, and feelings, as well as external objects and events. It is personal and selective in what one focuses on, and is continuous yet changing as thoughts pop into and out of one's head over time. To test your own consciousness, you are asked to write down every thought you have over a 5 minute period.
The document discusses the biopsychosocial model, an approach to health that considers biological, psychological, and social factors. It addresses how these three factors interact and integrate when assessing and treating health problems. Students are asked to complete review and investigation activities in their textbook to learn about the biopsychosocial model and a case study example.
This document discusses approaches to classifying mental disorders. There are two main approaches: categorical and dimensional. Categorical approaches classify disorders into distinct categories based on the presence or absence of symptoms. Dimensional approaches view symptoms on a continuum and classify based on severity. Common categorical systems are the DSM and ICD which organize disorders into categories and subcategories. Both approaches have strengths and limitations in classifying the complex nature of mental disorders.
Lesson 7 alternatives factors to the stress responseCrystal Delosa
The document discusses how social, cultural, and environmental factors can exacerbate or alleviate the stress response, noting examples from the textbook where cultural background influences stress levels from common stressors. It then defines allostasis as the body's ability to adapt to challenges by remaining flexible, in contrast to homeostasis which aims for stability. Allostatic load refers to the number of stressors experienced, as frequent activation of the stress response can cause long-term damage, while allostatic overload results when too many new stressors prevent coping abilities.
This document discusses different strategies for coping with stress, including biofeedback, meditation/relaxation, physical exercise, and social support. It provides details on what each strategy involves and how it can help reduce stress. Students are asked to reflect on which coping strategies they use most and least personally and to discuss which seems to be most commonly used among their classmates.
The document discusses shopping for clothes and introduces the concepts of this/that and these/those. It provides examples of conversations between a shop assistant and customer where they discuss various clothing items and use this/that and these/those to refer to items that are near or far from them. It also includes exercises for learners to practice using this/that and these/those correctly based on distance. The overall purpose is to teach English language learners to distinguish between and appropriately use this/that and these/those when talking about items in relation to their proximity.
This document discusses the differences between legal laws and non-legal rules. Laws apply to all members of society, are created by law-making bodies, and are always written down. Rules only apply to members of certain groups, can be created by individuals or groups, and do not always need to be written. Examples are given of family rules, cultural norms, morality rules, sports rules, and school rules as types of non-legal rules. The document concludes with an activity asking readers to sort examples into rules or laws and compare family rule lists with a partner.

Lesson 6 psycholcogical derterminants of the stress responseCrystal Delosa
The document summarizes Richard Lazarus and Susan Folkman's transactional model of stress and coping. The model identifies that an individual's interpretation of an event, through primary and secondary appraisals, determines whether the event is perceived as stressful. Primary appraisal assesses potential harm or threat, while secondary appraisal considers available coping responses and their potential emotional impacts. Together, appraisals influence whether an individual experiences positive, negative, or minimal stress when facing a stressor. The model's strengths include its cognitive approach and inclusion of mental processes and emotions, while its limitations are a lack of emphasis on physiological elements and ignoring of social and environmental factors.
Lesson 11 and 12 applying a biopsychosocial framework to anxiety disorderCrystal Delosa
This document discusses applying a biopsychosocial framework to understanding anxiety disorders. It addresses biological factors like the amygdala's role in fear and low GABA levels linking to higher anxiety. Psychological factors include conditioning and cognitive theories. Social influences comprise observational and cultural learning. Treatments target these domains, such as GABA-focused medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, and addressing social perceptions and conditioning. Students are assigned activities to map the biopsychosocial model, compare psychotherapies, and outline one's desensitization treatment plan.
O documento discute as características e diferenças entre as ciências sociais e naturais. As ciências sociais, como antropologia, ciência política e sociologia, estudam fenômenos complexos como relações humanas e cultura, enquanto as ciências naturais estudam fatos isoláveis. As ciências sociais lidam com interpretações e significados sociais, tornando mais difícil a objetividade. Seus métodos diferem por tratarem de objetos dinâmicos em vez de estáticos.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
