Stigma and Mental Illness – A Barrier to Health Seeking
This document discusses self-care for patients with long-term conditions. It notes that over 15 million people in England live with at least one long-term condition, accounting for most NHS spending. Self-care is defined as individuals taking responsibility for their own health and well-being with support from healthcare professionals. This includes maintaining health, meeting needs, preventing illness, and managing conditions. Supported self-care can improve health outcomes, patient satisfaction, and empower patients to take more control.
This document discusses stigma surrounding mental illness. It begins by defining stigma and noting that while physical illnesses are generally accepted, mental illnesses often face stigma due to lack of understanding. People are misinformed about mental illness due to insufficient education and myths. This stigma leads to discrimination and prevents stigma from being removed. The document then poses trivia questions to test knowledge about conditions like depression and suicide rates. It reveals answers like 15-20% of people having depression and suicide being more common in summer. Additional facts provided emphasize depression is highly treatable but often untreated, and more action is needed to educate about mental illness and reduce stigma.

The document discusses mental health advocacy and the role of the IWK's Mental Health Advocate, Andy Cox. It provides examples of issues patients, youth, and families face in accessing mental healthcare. These include long wait times, lack of support upon returning from hospitalization, and not feeling heard by clinicians. It then outlines different types of advocacy, such as legal, social, and crisis advocacy. Finally, it lists some IWK mental health programs and notes the Mental Health Commission of Canada as a partner in advocacy efforts.
This ppt presentation discusses about the various models of mental illness. I found it useful to download as it gives a fair idea about various models which are generally not found in books.
Mental illness has been recognized for over 4,000 years. Early attempts to treat it were often cruel, such as chaining or torturing patients due to beliefs that mental illness was caused by demonic possession. In the late 1800s, some doctors experimented with methods to influence blood flow to the brain like tranquilizer chairs and spinning chairs, but these provided no lasting benefits. Through the 1900s, many mentally ill individuals were institutionalized in asylum conditions that were often deplorable. Lobotomies and electroshock therapy were introduced in the mid-20th century as treatments but often had negative effects and did not cure illness. Understanding and treatment of mental illness has significantly improved since these early attempts.
The biopsychosocial model considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their interactions in understanding health and illness. It has three components: 1) the biological component includes genes, nature, and physical health, 2) the psychological component refers to individual perceptions like coping skills and self-esteem, and 3) the socio-cultural component comprises environmental influences such as family, peers, and social relationships that shape health.
Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are NOT a normal part of aging and are hard to discuss, diagnose and treat. The good news is that there are innovative programs, tools and resources that can help.
The document discusses the different types of health insurance in the United States. The majority (49%) have private insurance through their employer, while 13% have Medicare, 18% have Medicaid, and 11% are uninsured. Medicare covers those over 65 and is run by the federal government, while Medicaid provides coverage for low-income families and is administered by each state. Private insurance through an employer is most common but may not cover all conditions, and individual plans are increasingly expensive, contributing to the number of uninsured.
The history of healthcare in the US shows rising costs over time and various attempts at reform. Early 1900s saw the rise of paid hospital care and surgery becoming common. The 1910s saw the beginnings of the health insurance movement despite opposition. In the 1930s, the Depression halted healthcare reforms despite Roosevelt's calls for reform. The 1940s saw the rise of employer provided health benefits and antibiotics. The 1960s saw Medicare and Medicaid passed under Johnson. Attempts at national healthcare failed under Nixon in the 1970s. By the 1990s, over 44 million Americans lacked health insurance, leading to the passage of Obamacare in 2010 in an effort to address rising costs and the uninsured.
Ricardo O. Henry presents on the importance of mental health and self-care for experienced healthcare workers. He defines mental health as a person's psychological and emotional well-being, including how they think, feel, and behave. Mental health is important because caregivers are susceptible to conditions like depression, stress, and burnout due to the demands of their jobs. Henry provides strategies for self-care like getting professional help, connecting with others, and controlling outlets for frustration to help prevent mental health issues. The presentation emphasizes that self-care is not selfish and is necessary to effectively serve others from a place of wellness.
1. Marital therapy aims to help couples address issues in their relationship through counseling.
2. Marriage is a legally recognized union that forms the basis of family and procreation according to Indian society, though views and laws have evolved over time.
3. Factors like compatibility, communication, mutual understanding and respect are important for a healthy marriage, while distressed couples often engage in destructive patterns like coercion and blaming that damage the relationship.
This document outlines the WHO's Mental Health Gap Action Programme framework. It aims to close the gap between needed and available mental health resources globally. The framework provides strategies for scaling up evidence-based interventions for priority conditions like depression and psychosis in low-income countries. Key elements include developing policies and legislation, integrating services into primary healthcare, strengthening the workforce, mobilizing funding, and monitoring progress. The goal is to significantly improve treatment coverage for the huge burden of mental disorders worldwide.
This document provides an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. It discusses key players like providers, insurers, and patients. It notes that healthcare is a trillion dollar industry, comprising hospitals, medical practices, and insurance companies. The document also outlines government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, different types of health insurance plans, and managed care organizations. Finally, it summarizes some electronic transactions used in healthcare like claims submission and response.

It provides context on the evolution of perspectives and approaches to mental illness over time.
This document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI). It discusses key concepts in MI including developing motivation for change, the stages of change model, and strategies used in MI. The strategies focus on expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, avoiding argumentation, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. MI is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to strengthen personal motivation for change.
Mental illness refers to medical conditions that disrupt thinking, mood, and behavior. Some common mental illnesses include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and others. Mental illnesses are treatable medical conditions that can affect people of any age, race, or background. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the illness but may include changes in mood, sleep, appetite, concentration, and social withdrawal. Treatment involves medication, therapy, support groups, and lifestyle changes tailored to the individual. Recovery is promoted through awareness, seeking help, and maintaining treatment.
Introduction and history of mental illnesscandyvdv
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.
The document provides an overview of the complex U.S. healthcare system, including its decentralized market-based structure compared to other countries' centralized systems. It discusses key players like doctors, hospitals, insurers, and governments. It also covers major public programs like Medicare and Medicaid, as well as private insurance concepts like health plans, coding, and reimbursement structures including capitation and fee-for-service.

This document discusses mental health across the lifespan in 4 sections:
1) Pregnancy and early parenthood - Postpartum depression affects 10-20% of mothers and risk factors include a family history of mental illness.
2) Childhood to adolescence - Significant mental health problems can emerge early and experiences like trauma can damage brain development. Risks include physical illness, family problems, and bullying.
3) Young adulthood to adulthood - Mental health issues affect 1 in 6 employed people and can impair work. Relationships are important for well-being but social networks tend to decrease with age.
4) Older adults - Up to 60% of older adults with medical conditions like strokes may
Mental Health and Mental Illness should be known to everyone. Unfortunately, it is still a stigma and not many people would talk about it, let alone learn about it.
I hope that this could spread information and awareness especially to the younger generations who are not taught about this.
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.

It involves a qualitative research method that that uses three peer-reviewed journal article containing information about the scope of psychiatry, emerging issues in accommodating patients and highlight on medication of mental illness
The document discusses the deinstitutionalization of mental patients in the 1960s and its effects. It led to many mentally ill individuals being released from institutions and treated as outpatients through community mental health centers. However, many lacked adequate support and some became homeless or incarcerated as a result. The author has been personally affected as someone with mental illnesses who has utilized community treatment and been in institutions voluntarily. The deinstitutionalization influenced the author's studies and career focus on improving medication practices.
The document discusses perceptions of mental illness across different cultures. It notes that mental illness is viewed more negatively in some Asian cultures where it is seen as a sign of weakness. Expressing mental health symptoms is also viewed differently, with more acceptance of physical symptoms over mental ones. The document outlines some of the challenges faced by those with mental illness, such as social stigma, lack of access to care, and financial impacts. It concludes by suggesting ways to combat negative perceptions through education, advocacy, and promoting understanding of mental health issues.
The document discusses the problem of homelessness and mental illness in Los Angeles. It proposes creating a mental health community to help get mentally ill homeless people off the streets. The community would provide housing, therapy, psychiatric care, job counseling, and other services. It aims to break the cycle that traps many mentally ill homeless people and give them opportunities to improve their mental health and lives.
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.
The document discusses mental health and illness, including definitions, causes, symptoms, stigma and discrimination, and the Indian Mental Health Act of 1987. Some key points covered include:
- Mental health is defined as a state of well-being and ability to cope with stress and function productively. Mental illness refers to conditions that affect cognition, emotion, or behavior.
- Mental illnesses have biological, psychological, and social causes, and are not due to personal weakness. They can cause suffering, disability, and increased mortality.
- The Indian Mental Health Act of 1987 aimed to safeguard rights of the mentally ill and regulate institutions, but was criticized for not fully reflecting medical considerations or removing criminal stigma.
This document provides an overview of mental illness, including definitions, prevalence rates, common types of mental illnesses, and how mental illness has been viewed from a symbolic interactionist perspective. Some key points include: mental illness affects 20% of adults annually, with mood disorders and anxiety being most common; stigma has been a major barrier to treatment as mental illness was long seen as disgraceful; and the symbolic interactionist perspective outlines how mental illness progressed from being an unrecognized social problem to one that is increasingly recognized and addressed through awareness campaigns.

The document provides an overview of the history and definitions of mental health disorders. It discusses how mental disorders were viewed in ancient times and treated throughout history, including the first asylums. Key figures who helped reform treatment are mentioned, such as Pinel who believed in humane treatment. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is discussed as the standard reference used by clinicians. Three common neurodevelopmental disorders - intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - are defined.
Similar to Mental Health Care Policy Ppt 1[1] (13)
- About half to three quarters of children in foster care in the US exhibit mental health symptoms warranting treatment. Psychotropic medications are often prescribed when psychosocial interventions like counseling are unavailable.
- The use of psychotropic medications for foster youth has risen over the past two decades, with rates 13-37% compared to 4% for non-foster youth. Off-label use is common due to a lack of clinical trials testing these drugs on children.
- Efforts are being made to improve oversight of psychotropic medication use for foster youth, including developing state policies and programs coordinating mental health services.
The document discusses suicidal patients and suicide risk assessment. It outlines several factors that contribute to the development of suicidal crises, including perceiving problems as unsolvable and believing death will bring relief. Suicidal individuals often feel hopeless about enduring or solving their difficulties. Those at higher risk include those with psychiatric disorders, life stressors, physical illness, personality disorders or social problems. A comprehensive assessment evaluates demographics, life stressors, diagnoses, and family history of suicide. Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness are also assessed. Treatment includes crisis intervention, focusing on preventing suicide through assessment and identifying high-risk individuals, as well as continuing therapy viewing suicidality as a problem behavior to address.
Suicidal patients develop a crisis when they view problems as unsolvable and suicide as the only solution. They feel hopelessness about enduring or solving difficulties and see suicide as relief. Those at higher risk have schemas involving vulnerability and a belief that others are rejecting or have high expectations. It is important to comprehensively assess recent stressors, diagnoses, and feelings of hopelessness. Treatment includes crisis intervention with a focus on identifying high-risk individuals and hospitalization when needed, as well as continuing therapy viewing suicidal behavior as a problem-solving style. Ongoing assessment of suicide risk is crucial.
This document discusses schizoaffective disorder, including its diagnostic criteria which involves a major mood episode concurrent with or occurring during schizophrenia symptoms. It notes the lack of definitive evidence on how to treat patients with schizoaffective disorder. Physicians must treat based on symptoms present. Medications found effective include olanzapine or other antipsychotics combined with mood stabilizers for manic symptoms or antidepressants for depressive symptoms, though antidepressants require caution to avoid switching to mania. Therapy is also an essential part of treatment.
The document discusses the documentary Bowling for Columbine and its examination of the causes of gun violence in America. It explores how the media drives fear and discrimination in American culture. The film questions who is responsible for gun violence and concludes it is not due to gun ownership but the exploitation of violence through the media and government. Fear is intensified by the media and controlled by the government to manipulate society. While gun ownership is a constitutional right, gun control policy remains controversial as it debates this right versus preventing crime.
This document outlines the components of a SOAP note, which is used by healthcare professionals to document patient encounters. A SOAP note includes sections for Statements, Observations, Assessment, and Plan. The Statements section describes what was discussed during the visit or session. Observations provide details about the patient's appearance, mood, and affect. The Assessment gives the healthcare worker's analysis and impressions. Finally, the Plan outlines the goals and next steps for treatment between visits.
