One in five students has a diagnosable mental illness such as depression or anxiety, though only about 40% seek help. Mental illnesses can be inherited genetically from parents or developed due to abuse, trauma, or life stressors. Common symptoms include feelings of sadness, lack of energy, changes in appetite or sleep, and lack of interest in activities. If left untreated, mental illness can lead students to harm themselves or consider suicide, which is a leading cause of death among students. Maintaining physical and mental health through exercise, spending time in nature, and engaging in enjoyable activities can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
This document summarizes key issues related to youth mental health in the United States. It finds that 1 in 5 youth have or will have a serious mental illness. The most common disorders among youth are substance use disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. Many factors can influence mental illness risk in youth, including socioeconomic status, minority status, trauma, bullying and lack of sleep. However, less than half of youth with mental disorders receive treatment due to various barriers like stigma, lack of perceived need for help, and poor access to care. The document recommends developing technology-based interventions to address specific disorders and barriers faced by different youth groups.

Adolescent Mental Health: Common Mental Health Issues in Youth Irasangappa Mudakavi
Common mental health issues among youth include anxiety disorders, depression, behavioral disorders, and substance abuse. Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent, affecting approximately 4% of adolescents globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted youth mental health, increasing feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness according to UNICEF surveys. Adolescence is a vulnerable time for developing mental health issues as youth experience physical, emotional, and social changes while coping with stress and transitions in life. Early detection and treatment of mental health issues is important for supporting healthy development into adulthood.
Christina Carew presented on digital media and mental health. She discussed research on digital media and teen mental health. She outlined a curriculum website, virtual classroom, and e-learning center for teaching about mental health.

This document discusses adolescent mental health and development. It defines adolescence as the transitional period between childhood and adulthood, characterized by rapid brain growth. The adolescent brain develops in all areas as grey matter increases and pruning occurs to strengthen connectivity. While memory, language, reasoning and social skills improve during adolescence, difficulties with emotion regulation, reward-seeking, planning and an obsession with self can also occur due to neural and hormonal changes. Many social and organizational factors impact adolescent mental health and present barriers to receiving needed support.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress and relate to others. The WHO defines mental health as a state of well-being in which people can realize their potential, cope with life's stresses, work productively, and contribute to their community. Characteristics of good mental health include normal eating and sleep patterns, ability to perform daily activities, deal with problems, lack of strange ideas or excessive emotions, and ability to socialize without unusual fear.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens aged 15-24. According to a 2008 survey, 24.1% of students had seriously considered suicide, 17.7% had a specific plan, and 8.7% had attempted it. Female students were more likely than male students to consider or attempt suicide. Some common causes of stress for teens include school, work, parents, money, and relationships. The average stress level reported by students was 6.5 out of 10. Most students felt alone or knew someone who had considered suicide.
Men and women feel differently about the trials and tribulations in their life. These feelings manifest themselves into pyschosocial disorders such as drinking and suicides for men while women tend to cope better through social interaction. So how can men find ways to avoid the stigma and seek the help and support they need to work and live productive lives?
Mental health involves a balanced development of personal and emotional attitudes for harmonious living. Good mental health includes feelings of confidence, adaptability, acceptance of criticism, moral and social values, and good relationships.
Mental illness can be caused by nervous system damage, heredity, social/environmental factors, and prolonged emotional reactions like anxiety or fear. Some types of mental disorders are neurosis, personality disorders, amnesia, anxiety, depression, somnambulism, schizophrenia, manic depression, mood disorders, and attention deficit disorders.
Treatment for mental disorders includes shock therapy, psychotherapy, chemotherapy, and social therapy through attention and care from others.
This document summarizes a project to promote positive mental health in schools. The project was a partnership between health services, education services, and schools in Walsall, UK. It involved training school staff on mental health issues, developing action plans in two pilot schools, and evaluating the outcomes. The goals were to raise mental health awareness, build resilience, and engage parents. Evaluation found it secured commitment and helped structure planning. The project informed future work on a larger targeted mental health program using an ecological approach.
The document discusses the failure of philosophy and economics and the corruption of other fields. It argues that reality precedes knowledge, and truth reveals reality. It claims that adopting an ideology prevents listening to reality to inform knowledge. It discusses how to live with virtue rather than commandments, and asks why we are experiencing an ethical crisis. The document suggests our cultural defaults regarding ethics are obsolete, and examines how empathy and caring are natural human capacities that can be overridden by ideas.
This document discusses the critical role of the expat, transient, and cross-cultural community in addressing global challenges. As the world becomes more interconnected and people face issues like marginalization and a lack of identity, those with experience navigating different cultures have strategies to overcome such challenges. Now more than ever, this community is uniquely placed to bring hope to the world by sharing knowledge, inspiring passion, and connecting empathetically. Their experience living abroad has given them skills like curiosity, challenging preconceptions, and understanding other perspectives - skills that are needed to address today's global problems.

Mental Health introduction and a brief indepth.pptxMwambaChikonde1
Mental health refers to an individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and how they think, feel, and behave. It is important at every stage of life from childhood through adulthood. Many factors can influence mental health, including genetics, life experiences, family history, and physical health. Maintaining good mental health involves connecting socially, managing stress, getting treatment if needed, and leading an overall healthy lifestyle. Children's mental health is especially important as their brains are still developing skills for interacting with others and managing emotions.
Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress and relate to others. It involves our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and is important throughout life. Poor mental health is not the same as mental illness, as someone can experience poor mental health without a diagnosis. Mental health allows people to enjoy life and deal with challenges while respecting culture, equity, social justice, and personal dignity.
Development Milestones of Children.pptxsarahfauzna
Physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and personality changes occur during adolescence. Physically, teens reach sexual and physical maturity. Emotionally, emotions become unstable due to hormonal and brain changes. Cognitively, teens develop formal operational thinking and can think abstractly. Socially, peers become more important and teens develop same and opposite-sex relationships. In terms of personality, teens develop their identity and moral reasoning. Adolescence involves transitioning to adulthood and preparing for independent roles.
The document discusses several cognitive biases and heuristics that influence social judgments and perceptions. It describes how priming effects can subtly influence thoughts and behaviors without awareness. Belief perseverance is discussed, where people cling to initial beliefs even after evidence disproving them. Overconfidence is common in social judgments and predictions. Confirmation bias leads people to seek information confirming existing beliefs. Mental shortcuts like representativeness and availability heuristics enable efficient thinking. Illusions of correlation and control can also influence social perceptions.

William O. Donnelly - Conversations with adolescentsPlain Talk 2015
This document discusses effective strategies for communicating health information to adolescents. It notes that while parents and adults still need information, directly engaging teens in conversations is developmentally appropriate. Motivational interviewing techniques that explore risks and benefits in a non-confrontational way can help teens reflect on issues. Interactive tools using stories, data, and peer perspectives are suggested. Examples provided include online simulations to train educators and classroom programs using role plays and stories.
The document discusses the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional development of adolescents. During adolescence, teens experience rapid physical development including growth spurts and development of secondary sex characteristics. Cognitively, teens develop advanced reasoning, abstract thinking, and meta-cognition skills. Psychosocially, teens establish their identity, autonomy, intimacy, sexuality, and achievement. Emotional development involves learning to perceive, assess, and manage emotions. Support from family and understanding adolescent development are important for healthy development.
1. The document discusses generational cohorts and defines Millennials and Filinnials. It explores the traits, ethics, and outlook of Millennials including their increased individualism, secular views, and tensions with older generations over issues like marriage and career paths.
2. Millennials are seen as more progressive on social issues and less religious than older cohorts. They also face conflicts with Baby Boomers over differences in priorities, lifestyle choices, and views of success.
3. The document analyzes Millennials' ethical views and tendencies towards secular humanism, which grounds morality in human experience rather than religious doctrine. However, it notes the limitations of non-theistic views in explaining objective morality.
Adolescence involves significant physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Physically, puberty begins, marked by a growth spurt and development of secondary sex characteristics. Cognitively, while logical thought emerges, most adolescents cannot think formally in all situations and can be egocentric, believing they are unique and the center of attention. Emotionally, adolescents experience more frequent and intense mood swings than older individuals.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

• 1 out of 3 millennials self-
identify as ”Nones”
• 3 out of 5 young Christians
disconnect from church life after
age 15
• People are rejecting formal
religion in favor of creating their
own spirituality
• 60% of millennials claimed
moral rights and wrongs are a
matter of individual opinion
(2011)
o Yet even though fewer in
number, millennial Christians
are serious about their faith Our ability to pass down moral tradition and our faith in
orthodox Christianity has been horribly crippled by our
inability to communicate with generations radically
changed by globalization
and technology.

I discovered that while it is good to know a person, to understand
them is better. And while it is good to know ourselves, to understand
ourselves is better. And the bridge to understanding ourselves, our
children, and each other in this rapidly changing world that has so
distanced the generations is communication. The interchange of
ideas gives us context for discovery. Thus, intergenerational
dialogue promises to go a long way in helping us repair the societal
and spiritual disconnects and learn to live healthier, richer lives.

To connect across generations
To build lasting intergenerational relationships that empower
And to play a leading role in preventing anxiety and depression and supporting recovery.
Twenge
Psychologist at San Diego State.
Renowned for her research in generational theory
She's analyzed data collected from millions of people over the last half century.
Uses empirical research to strengthen the case for generational theory. Twenge conducted fourteen studies of generational differences in personalities involving 1.2 million people (2006). Based on those studies, she predicts in Generation Me that two cohorts, Generation Y and Z in aggregate, will have a difficult time growing up.
Uses personality scores that date back to the 1960s to measure such personality traits as narcissism and self-esteem
Earliest extant anxiety-related writings are from the fourth century Greek physician Hippocrates
Robert Burton English scholar at Oxford (1621)
documents Hippocrates’s description of a patient’s symptoms
Medical science silent until Kierkegaard and Freud wrote papers in 1844 and 1920, respectively.
As late as 1947, there were only 3 academic papers published on anxiety
Added Anxiety to the third edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (1980) DSM
And by 1999, Paxil was FDA approved and on the market
In 20 years, the number of diagnoses escalated from minuscule to approximately twenty million.

I CONTEND that the rise in anxiety and depression is rooted in historical and social change.
LENS Generational Theory is a field of study that can illuminate our understanding of anxiety and depression in light of historical and cultural change.
The people we spend the most time with during our formative years share common values. Core values remain largely unchanged: influence decisions, lifestyle preferences, and even career choices throughout our lives
Value lies in its ability to categorize birth cohorts by identifying events, trends, and other cultural phenomena that shaped them and then to describe the characteristics and behaviors of each group.

There is much to be anxious about. We can’t ignore social and spiritual disconnects—the stakes are high.
TWENGE: We found that if you look at baby boomers in the '60s compared to millennials in more recent times, millennials are much more likely to say that they think they're above average.
% graduated with A has doubled
performance is the same but more people feel good about themselves
2x expect graduate degree, compared to boomers in the 70s. but reality the same. Collide with reality can lead to anxiety and depression
people who score high in self-esteem are not necessarily any more successful than anybody else, especially when you take into account family background and things like that. You do find some effect that, for example, kids who do well in school develop high self-esteem. But the way our culture thinks about it is you should build up self-esteem for no particular reason. You're special just for being you, and that will lead to good things. It doesn't work that way. That puts the cart before the horse.
As the seeds of postmodernism began to sprout and grow, however, Evangelicalism faltered, and as the doctrinal boundaries faded, the theology weakened, and the church began to look more like a business or a psychologist’s office than a place of worship, with all its strategies for attracting consumers and therapeutic tools for finding inner peace and self-satisfaction. “In a period of but a few years, it was decided that there was no longer any genuine truth, only truths; no principles, only preferences; no grand meaning which is outside of ourselves . . .”
Wells, “Rejection,” 1.
