In his recent study, Harry Coumnas found that people with poor social skills tend to experience more stress and loneliness, which negatively affect their physical and mental health. As a result, people become prone to get affected by diseases and a number of health problems. Socializing not just helps in keeping up your physical and mental health, but it also boosts inner confidence and provide social support.

Gender And Mental Health
This document discusses how gender affects mental health issues. It notes that gender influences many life aspects like coping strategies and resource access that can positively or negatively impact mental health. Men often externalize issues through outward behaviors instead of internal emotions and are less likely to seek help due to stigma. Women are more likely to communicate problems, seek help from social support systems, and accept mental health issues rather than viewing them as a weakness. While data shows higher reported rates of disorders in women, this may be partially because men ignore or do not report their own issues as frequently.
Childhood Psychology
This document discusses the hazards of late childhood, which spans from age 6 to puberty. It identifies physical, psychological, speech, moral, and social hazards that can profoundly affect a child's personal and social adjustment during this period. Physical hazards include illness, obesity, accidents, and awkwardness. Psychological hazards include emotional issues, inappropriate play, and challenges with concepts, interests, gender roles, family relationships, and personality development. Speech hazards can include vocabulary deficiencies, errors, communication difficulties, and ego-centric speech. Moral and social hazards also exist.
Take Care of Your Health
This document discusses health issues affecting adolescents and young adults. It notes that good health in adolescence is important for lifelong well-being, but more investment is needed in prevention and early intervention. Some health risks for this age group include mental health problems, substance abuse, nutrition, and social media use. The document also discusses diabetes prevalence worldwide and risk factors for different ethnic groups. It provides information on type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Food and lifestyle choices that impact health are also addressed.
Psychosocial aspects of geriatic population
The document discusses the psychosocial aspects of aging and life satisfaction among older adults. It notes that older adults face physiological, psychological, and social adjustments as they age. However, research shows that most older adults report being satisfied with their lives. While happiness tends to decline with age, life satisfaction often increases as people grow older. Health status, social support, activity levels, and socioeconomic status are positively associated with greater life satisfaction in older populations. The document also describes Pakistan's social welfare programs that provide facilities and care for older adults, including six state-run old age homes that accommodate 300 individuals total.
Middle age
Middle age is generally considered to be between ages 40-60. This period is subdivided into early middle age (40-50) and advanced middle age (50-60). Middle age is a time of transition and stress as people adjust to physical, mental, and social changes. It can be a time of achievement or boredom depending on how individuals adapt to their new roles and stages of life. Developmental tasks include adjusting to changes in health, relationships as children leave home, and finding new interests and ways to contribute to their communities.
Late adulthood 1
This document summarizes Erikson's theory of ego integrity versus despair as the psychosocial conflict faced in late adulthood. It also discusses several theories related to personality, coping with stress, social interaction, relationships, and retirement in late adulthood. Key theories mentioned include continuity theory, socioemotional selectivity theory, and Lazarus and Folkman's cognitive-appraisal coping model.
Know & Go Friday, December 2016: New Year, New You
This document discusses the importance of self-care and maintaining a positive outlook. It notes that 97 million Americans are overweight or obese, costing $144.6 billion annually in healthcare costs. Positive thinking is associated with many health benefits, including longer life, lower depression rates, and better coping skills. Studies show that more positive psychological well-being reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. Chronic stress can impact hormone balance and brain chemicals, while positive people tend to live healthier lifestyles. The document advocates practicing gratitude, mindfulness, exercise, and recognizing coworkers to promote a happy workplace.
RuleofThirds
Rule of Thirds is a group that aims to help young mentally ill people improve their quality of life by facilitating a supportive environment for peers to discuss success without feeling burdened by their illness. The group follows the philosophy that many mentally ill people have the capacity to give back to society, just as society provides support for them. They help people engage with their community through volunteering, employment, and education. While they cannot provide medical advice, they officially support engaging in therapy, medication, and developing a support system, which is what their group offers.

PD/H/PE Is Important
The document defines health according to the World Health Organisation as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It then lists benefits of health education such as supporting students' holistic development, improving quality of life, and teaching skills for healthy lifestyles. Finally, it outlines topics covered in health education like personal choices, relationships, nutrition, and sexuality.
Determinants of health_bondi_4-5[1]
This document discusses several determinants of health:
1. Heredity - Genetic factors passed down from parents can influence health outcomes like cancer risk, diabetes risk, and smoking risks.
2. Environment - The social and cultural surroundings a person lives in can impact their habits and health behaviors. Factors like parental smoking, parenting styles, and peer pressure can influence health.
3. Culture - Cultural norms around acceptable foods, eating customs, and social hierarchies impact health behaviors and choices within that culture.
The document provides brief summaries of research on how each determinant influences health outcomes.
Middle adulthood
Middle adulthood spans from about ages 40 to 65. During this period, individuals experience physical decline but also reach their peak career satisfaction and responsibility. They make important choices about generativity as physical signs of aging emerge. Cognitively, crystallized intelligence increases while fluid intelligence decreases. Erikson's theory of generativity vs. stagnation applies as adults aim to leave a legacy. Personality remains stable through traits like the big five. Family relationships, including with partners, children, parents and siblings, are most important sources of support. The "sandwich generation" concept of caring for young and old is largely a myth for most.
Relationships & Health By Ms. Anu Mehta
Healthy relationships are vital for health and well-being. Strong social relationships are linked to longer, healthier lives, as people with strong relationships are 50% less likely to die prematurely. Having caring friends provides a buffer against stress, and those with strong relationships recover faster from stressful tasks. Relationships also promote better health - people with strong relationships are half as likely to catch colds when exposed to viruses. Conversely, loneliness is linked to higher risks of depression, decreased immune function, higher blood pressure, and other health problems.
Emerging and Early Adulthood
This document discusses emerging adulthood, which refers to the transition period from adolescence to adulthood between ages 18-25. It describes key features of emerging adulthood including identity explorations, instability, self-focus, feeling "in-between" adolescence and adulthood, and maintaining an optimistic view of future possibilities. Physical and health-related changes during this period are also outlined such as declining physical performance after age 30, increased health risks, issues around weight and eating habits, benefits of regular exercise, and risks of substance abuse. Sexual development including attitudes, behaviors, and sexually transmitted infections are also covered.
Health management
The document discusses various factors that influence people's health behaviors. It discusses personal, interpersonal, and community-level factors that affect whether people engage in healthy behaviors. Personal factors include habits, self-efficacy, and knowledge. Interpersonal factors involve social support networks. Community factors include societal influences like public health policies that can encourage healthy behaviors.
Adulthood
The document discusses several theories of development in adulthood:
1. Erikson's theory defines eight stages of development, with young adulthood focused on developing intimacy vs isolation and middle adulthood focused on achieving accomplishments vs experiencing failures.
2. Levinson's theory proposes transitional phases in adulthood including entering the adult world in early adulthood, settling down in mid-life, and culminating accomplishments in late adulthood.
3. Havighurst's theory outlines developmental tasks that should be achieved for success in each stage, such as developing intimate relationships and occupational goals in early adulthood and taking on civic responsibilities and adjusting to aging in middle adulthood.

personality mid adult
There are three major controversies regarding personality development in middle adulthood:
1) Whether a midlife crisis truly exists or is a myth
2) Whether development is better explained by normative-crisis models or life events models
3) The debate around stability versus change in personality over time.
Relationships and family dynamics also impact development, as adults navigate marriage, divorce, empty nests, and caring for aging parents and adult children. Personality is marked by both stability and change during this period.
Psychological wellbeing in elderly people
This document discusses psychological well-being in elderly people. It defines subjective well-being as having three aspects: life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, and a sense of purpose. Subjective well-being is determined by both internal psychological factors like cognitive function and external factors like income, environment, and health. Cross-cultural studies show that life satisfaction decreases with age in some regions but follows a U-shape pattern in others. Maintaining psychological well-being is important for health in older adults.
Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors like role models and social pressures. While anyone can develop it, girls aged 15-24 are most at risk. Bulimia damages the entire body and can lead to organ failure or death if left untreated. Treatment focuses on breaking the binge-purge cycle through therapy and support to address underlying emotional issues.

Concepts of health
The document is a health assignment essay on concepts of health by Susan Deakin. It discusses the World Health Organization's definition of health and different dimensions of health including physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, sexual, societal, and environmental health. It compares life expectancies and leading health issues in Tanzania, New Zealand, the United Kingdom. Tanzania has lower life expectancy and higher rates of communicable diseases due to poor sanitation and healthcare. New Zealand and UK have non-communicable diseases as top causes of death and higher life expectancies, though issues still exist like mental health and teenage pregnancy in the UK.
Adulthood
Adulthood refers to individuals who have completed their growth and development and are ready to assume roles in society. It is typically divided into three stages: early adulthood from ages 18-40 which involves adjustments to new lifestyles and roles; middle adulthood from ages 40-60 as a time of achievement and stress; and late adulthood from age 60 onward as a period of decline and preparation for the end of one's life span. Adulthood varies across cultures but generally involves taking on new social expectations and developing new attitudes and interests to match evolving roles and responsibilities.
G & D Ch. 11
1. The document discusses physical, cognitive, and social development that occurs during early adulthood, including reaching peak physical strength in the late 20s/early 30s and sensory acuity peaking in the early 20s.
2. It also covers common experiences during this period like attending college, adjusting to independence, and health/lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, alcohol/smoking, and sexual relationships.
3. Coping mechanisms, adult thinking patterns, creativity, and challenges like disabilities or stress are additionally examined.
14 Middle Adulthood
Middle adulthood constitutes a substantial portion of a person's lifespan. This period focuses on work and interpersonal relationships. Changes include children leaving home, potential midlife crises, and caring for aging parents. Physical and cognitive abilities begin to decline in middle age, though intellectual flexibility helps maintain functioning. Personality also experiences changes as adults navigate generativity, work, family roles, and divorce or remarriage for some.
Health and education
The document discusses the link between education and health. It states that people with more education are likely to live longer, experience better health outcomes, and practice healthy behaviors. Education can lead to making healthy choices around medical care, diet, exercise, and avoiding risky behaviors. Those with less education generally have lower-paying jobs with poorer working conditions and less access to health benefits. Education also contributes to greater feelings of control, social standing, social support, and skills that foster healthy attitudes. The impacts of education can span generations, as less educated parents may lack knowledge and resources to help their children succeed educationally. Improving education policies and programs can promote social mobility and break cycles of disadvantage to enhance lives overall. Integrating physical activity
CAFS Stages of the lifespan
Middle adulthood spans ages 35-65 years. This stage is focused on family and employment as childrearing responsibilities decrease. Physical and emotional changes occur, and divorce becomes more common. Key needs include maintaining health, finding balance between work and family, adjusting to empty nesting, and developing new interests and support systems. Support groups can aid with financial, health, social, and emotional needs during this transitional life phase.

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.

- FOMO (fear of missing out): Constantly seeing updates about what friends are doing can trigger anxiety that you're not participating or being left out of experiences.

Socializing with Friends and Family Boosts Physical and Mental Health – Harry Coumnas
- 1. Socializing with Friends and Family Boosts Physical and Mental Health - Harry Coumnas
- 2. Breakthrough for a Healthy Living • In his recent study, Harry Coumnas found that people with poor social skills tend to experience more stress and loneliness, which negatively affect their physical and mental health. • As a result, people become prone to get affected by diseases and a number of health problems. For some people, without socializing, behavioral changes can go to extreme levels. • He said, “For a long time, social skills have been associated with mental health problems like anxiety and depression. But poor social skills have never been associated with poorer physical health. Two variables - loneliness and stress - appear to be the glue that binds poor social skills to health.”
- 3. What does the Research Say? In his research, Harry Coumnas focused on several specific indicators of social skills such as – • The ability to provide emotional support to others or self-disclosure • The ability to share personal information with others or negative assertion skills. Socializing not just helps in keeping up your physical and mental health, but it also boosts inner confidence and provide social support. As a result, when a person desperately needs help, people come forward willingly to help in any way possible. They stand beside, uplifts the morale and care without being selfish.
- 4. Who Participated in the Research? The research is based on a survey that was conducted nation-wide, involved 775 people, aged between 18 to 90 years, who were asked to respond to questions designed to measure social skills, stress, loneliness, and mental and physical health.
- 5. Harry Coumnas Revealed the Result of the Research After the research, Harry Coumnas said, “We got to know about 10 years ago that being alone is actually a pretty serious risk for health problems. It is as serious of a risk as smoking, obesity or eating a high-fat diet with lack of exercise.”
