Mental disorders ppt
Mental disorders are real illnesses that can affect a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors, preventing them from living a happy, healthy life. Throughout history, mental illness has been stigmatized as being caused by demons or personal weakness. Today, though our understanding of mental disorders has increased, some stigma still remains. This stigma can negatively impact people's access to insurance, housing, jobs and treatment. It is important to understand that mental disorders are treatable medical conditions, and that understanding builds compassion for those suffering from them. Common mental disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Lesson 5 Overview
The objective of this lesson
is to give you an overview
of psychological disorders
and approaches to their
treatment. It isn’t meant to
make you a clinical
psychologist. Two
points should be stressed
from the very beginning. First, the labels that have been applied to
mental disorders have changed over the years. For example, at one
time, excessive masturbation was considered pathological in males,
and it was sufficient to have a woman confined to an asylum.
Homosexuality was finally eliminated from the official manual
of mental disorders in only the past couple of decades.
Second, mental disorders and approaches to their treatment are, to
some extent, social products. As societies change over time, so do
ideas about mental disorders. For that matter, as society changes,

different kinds of mental disorders are likely to become more common.
For example, eating disorders, which certainly have psychological
components, were all but unknown in the sixteenth century. Getting
enough to eat was a sufficient problem for most people. Conclusion:
One should apply labels to people with extreme caution. Just as
personalities vary, every disorder has commonalities and differences.

Normal versus Abnormal
Let’s say that you’re among an isolated tribe of people in the
Venezuelan rain forest. In your society, it’s normal for males to prize
shrunken heads as trophies with great power. Headhunting is normal
for these people. Let’s say you’re a sociologist studying American
divorce statistics. You find that for every two marriages, one will end in
divorce. Does that make divorce normal or abnormal? For a
psychologist, statistical normality simply refers to the distribution of
some variable in a population. For example, 100 is the mean score on
an IQ test, and normal or average ranges from about 80 to 120. On
the other hand, when someone says that Justin’s compulsion to wash
his hands 40 or 50 times a day “isn’t normal,” you may agree with that
observation. Yet, you should keep in mind that in social worlds, when

people refer to normal behavior they’re often simply making a
judgment about behavior that they prefer.
Psychologists must use some approach other than “normal” versus
“abnormal” to identify abnormal behavior. For psychologists, behavior
is considered abnormal if people experience distress and if that
distress prevents them from functioning in their daily life. Given that
general definition, it’s also best to think of normal and abnormal as two
ends of a continuum. Thu ...

Week 1 lec
This document provides an overview of mental health and mental disorders. It discusses that mental illness is a medical disease that prevents happiness and health.

The document also covers signs that someone may need mental health help and common providers like psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers.
Introduction and history of mental illness
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.
Mental disorders ppt
The document discusses mental disorders and the stigma associated with them. Approximately 57.7 million Americans are affected by mental disorders each year, though many do not seek treatment due to feelings of embarrassment or shame. Stigma has long been associated with mental illness and prevents those suffering from accessing insurance, housing, jobs, and optimal treatment. However, the document emphasizes that mental disorders are real and treatable medical conditions. Understanding builds compassion for those suffering from mental disorders.

June 14, 2024Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.SENSORY NEEDS B.SC. NURSING SEMESTER II.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.
