This document discusses stress-related illnesses and their treatment. It describes how stress can cause real physical symptoms even when medical tests find nothing physically wrong. Stress-related illnesses fall into a third class of illnesses separate from psychiatric and organic illnesses. The document outlines how stress histories involving childhood trauma, depression, anxiety and other factors can contribute to unexplained physical symptoms. It recommends acknowledging a patient's resilience, relaxation techniques, writing, counseling and other treatments to help resolve stress-related illnesses.

Combat veterans with PTSD have a stronger "fight or flight" response than veterans without PTSD, as shown by higher adrenaline levels and less heart rate control in response to stress. This physiological difference may help explain their increased risk for high blood pressure and heart disease. Cryptosporidium infections from swimming in pools contaminated by infected swimmers have doubled in recent years, causing diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting for up to three weeks. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can help prevent osteoarthritis by altering cell metabolism and preventing inflammation in joints.Adverse outcomes following detention in a Psychiatric Hospital – a review of...

The document summarizes research on the relationship between childhood trauma and psychosis. It finds that childhood abuse and neglect are strongly associated with psychotic symptoms later in life, with a clear dose-response relationship. Experiencing multiple types of trauma as a child increases the likelihood of developing psychosis as an adult by a factor of 18 to 193. Theories on how childhood trauma may lead to psychosis include cognitive, psychodynamic, dissociation, and attachment-related mechanisms.
rashid depression
Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest, impacting both physical and mental health. It has often been ignored as a minor issue not requiring medical help, but depression is a real illness with symptoms and should be treated. There are several types of depression, including postnatal depression affecting many new mothers, seasonal affective disorder which is more common in winter months, and bipolar disorder with major mood swings. Causes of depression include stressful life events, other illnesses, and low self-esteem. Treatment options are exercise, antidepressant medication, and therapy which can help manage depression.

(2015, August). Symposium presented at the convention of the International Association for the Psychology of Religion, Istanbul, Turkey.
Abstract:
Recent research has demonstrated that religious and spiritual struggle (RSS) plays an important role in the relationship between religion and well-being. To what extent might RSS arise from personality and environmental stress? We hypothesized that neuroticism and stressful life events predict RSS independently and interact as well, such that neuroticism strengthens the link between stress and struggle. Regression analyses of factor scores from 2,719 undergraduates in USA revealed independent effects of neuroticism and stressful past experiences on six kinds of RSS, but no interactions emerged. Thus personality and experience may both affect RSS additively. Neuroticism better predicted most struggles, especially ultimate meaning struggles, but stress predicted demonic and interpersonal struggles slightly more. Mediation analyses also explored indirect effects. Some trait theorists claim that essential traits precede environmental factors causally, suggesting that neuroticism may lead to stress; conversely, stress could increase state neuroticism. Hence we considered both as possible mediators of each other’s effects. All indirect pathways achieved significance, but most had very weak effect sizes. Given weaker direct effects of stress in general, any indirect effects mediated by neuroticism would appear more substantial. Longitudinal work may help resolve this causal ambiguity.
Pubic mental health: time to translate evidence into policy and practice

Depression by Taufiq h. siddiquee
This document discusses depression as a disease of civilization. It argues that depression results from the brain's prolonged stress response to the modern environment, which differs drastically from the environments humans evolved in. While antidepressant use has increased, depression rates have also risen, suggesting the need for lifestyle changes. The document cites studies finding high rates of depression among resident physicians, suggesting modern life and work environments can induce stress and depression.
Characteristics of Adjustment Disorders & Characteristics of Post Traumatic S...
Adjustment disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are both mental health conditions that can develop after experiencing stressful or traumatic events. Adjustment disorders involve difficulty coping with stressors and result in emotional or behavioral symptoms that impair functioning. PTSD involves experiencing trauma symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance behaviors in response to a traumatic event. While adjustment disorders are usually short-lived and respond well to therapy, PTSD symptoms are more severe and long-lasting without treatment. The documents provide details on the diagnostic criteria, symptoms, prevalence, course, and treatment options for each disorder.
Diabetes and Depression Might Be Linked | MetroPlus
Diabetes and depression are often linked, as having diabetes may increase the risk of depression. Managing diabetes through diet, exercise, and monitoring blood sugar levels becomes more difficult when depressed. Signs of depression include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, trouble concentrating, loss of interest in activities, sleep issues, and suicidal thoughts. If experiencing any of these symptoms, people with diabetes should see their doctor right away to be screened for depression and referred to a mental health specialist, being sure to mention their diabetes diagnosis, as some depression medications can worsen diabetes control. Treating depression can improve both mental health and diabetes management.
W1 The Psychiatry of AIDS Treisman
The document discusses the relationship between psychiatric disorders and HIV/AIDS. It finds that psychiatric patients have an increased risk of HIV infection and are less likely to stay on antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Depression in particular decreases the time patients stay on HAART and reduces AIDS-free survival. Integrating psychiatric treatment into HIV care can help improve patient outcomes and decrease HIV transmission by effectively treating conditions like depression and substance abuse.
Diabetes & Mental Health in primary care
This presentation discusses the relationship between type 2 diabetes and depression. It finds that depression is more common in people with type 2 diabetes, with prevalence rates ranging from 10-30%. Depression is also identified as a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Chronic stress may also increase the risk of depression and diabetes. While depression in diabetes often goes underrecognized and untreated, the document outlines new effective treatments such as online cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and stepped care models in primary care settings.
Trauma & Stressor Related Disorders for NCMHCE Study
Quick review of the essential points— DSM5 diagnosis criteria, assessments, treatments—of these disorders to better prepare for the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam. This was informed by several exam prep programs, and can be used like flashcards or as a presentation.
Adjustment disorder
Adjustment disorder is a maladaptive reaction to an identifiable psychosocial stressor that occurs within 3 months of the stressor's onset and causes social or occupational impairment beyond what would be expected. It is a very common disorder, affecting about 10% of people in some studies. Adjustment disorder is diagnosed using the DSM-5 or ICD-10 and treated with psychotherapy, support groups, medication, or a combination. Developing strong social support networks and living a healthy lifestyle can help prevent adjustment disorder.
Marijuana
The document discusses the effects of cannabis sativa, also known as marijuana. It contains over 400 chemicals, including THC which can cause hallucinations. Recreational use is legal in 11 states and Washington D.C., and medical use is allowed in 33 states. While marijuana can help relieve pains, it can also negatively impact memory and increase the risk of heart disease. The document examines both the positive effects for pain relief and negative side effects on memory and cardiovascular health.
Adhd
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It often begins before age 4 and is more common in boys than girls. While the exact causes are unknown, ADHD is thought to involve genetic and biochemical factors. Symptoms include difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, acting without thinking, and learning problems. Treatment involves stimulant medications, behavioral therapy, and family support to help manage symptoms.
Depression and Diabetes
Depression is a common and dangerous complication of diabetes that affects about 15-20% of diabetic patients. Depression and diabetes can form a vicious cycle, as each condition increases the risk of the other developing or worsening. Having diabetes doubles the risk of depression compared to those without diabetes. Depression can also increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Depression may prevent diabetics from properly managing their condition, worsening blood sugar control and increasing complications. Effective treatment of depression, such as antidepressants and cognitive psychotherapy, can significantly improve diabetes management and health outcomes for diabetic patients suffering from depression.

Negative emotions and health: Why do we keep stalking bears.ehps
This document discusses the tendency of researchers to make spurious claims linking negative emotions to health outcomes. For over 50 years, researchers have claimed to find a modifiable connection between negative emotion and morbidity/mortality, but these claims often lead to embarrassment after being disconfirmed. The document argues that many studies actually find only uninformative risk markers rather than true modifiable risk factors. It warns against continuing to make premature or exaggerated claims without ruling out alternative explanations like residual confounding.
Hirsh grief
This document discusses stress and grief in the workplace. It provides statistics showing that workplace stress is common, with 83% of workers suffering from it. Common causes of job stress include low morale, management style, job responsibilities, and career concerns. Left unmanaged, stress can negatively impact health and productivity. The document also discusses grief, noting that many workers experience the death of someone close each year. Different types of grief may occur in the workplace due to deaths or losses impacting employees. Supporting grieving coworkers requires acknowledging their loss, offering specific help, and setting limits if uncomfortable. Self-care strategies to manage stress and grief include getting sufficient sleep, exercise, spending time with others, and taking time off.

This document discusses challenges and best practices for communicating with people at risk of suicide over the phone. It notes the lack of non-verbal cues and personal context in phone calls. Key recommendations include active listening without judgment, understanding risk factors and warning signs, responding to immediate needs, and motivating help-seeking behavior by providing information on support services. The document emphasizes that comprehensive risk assessment should be done by mental health professionals and calls should be discussed with supervisors to determine the appropriate level of response and referral.Befriending the nervous system for health and happiness by By Dr. Sanjyot Pe...
Befriending the nervous system for health and happiness by By Dr. Sanjyot Pe...Health Education Library for People
The document discusses befriending the nervous system for health and happiness. It provides an overview of the nervous system, including the autonomous nervous system and its sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. When stressed, these divisions can lead to issues like anger, depression, or lethargy. The document recommends paying attention to feelings and sensations in the body, as well as movements, breathing, thoughts, and connecting with others to achieve coherence and regulation of the nervous system. This can help address issues like digestive problems, pain, and mental health concerns. Getting the nervous system in balance involves being relaxed, present, and able to respond appropriately to circumstances.Depression
This document discusses depression, including its symptoms, criteria for diagnosis, prevalence, and treatment approaches. Depression exists on a continuum from normal mood fluctuations to more severe abnormal mood lowering with functional impairment. It is a persistent and pervasive condition with a wide range of psychological and physical symptoms. Treatment involves both antidepressant medication and talking therapies, with the goals of explaining depression, setting a treatment plan and review schedule, and preventing future episodes.

abnormal psychology: an overview
learning objectives 1
· 1.1 How do we define abnormality and classify mental disorders?
· 1.2 What are the advantages and disadvantages of classification?
· 1.3 How common are mental disorders? Which disorders are most prevalent?
· 1.4 Why do we need a research-based approach in abnormal psychology?
· 1.5 How do we gather information about mental disorders?
· 1.6 What kinds of research designs are used to conduct research in abnormal psychology?
Abnormal psychology is concerned with understanding the nature, causes, and treatment of mental disorders. The topics and problems within the field of abnormal psychology surround us every day. You have only to pick up a newspaper, flip through a magazine, surf the web, or sit through a movie to be exposed to some of the issues that clinicians and researchers deal with on a day-to-day basis. Almost weekly some celebrity is in the news because of a drug or alcohol problem, an eating disorder, or some other psychological difficulty. Countless books provide personal accounts of struggles with schizophrenia, depression, phobias, and panic attacks. Films and TV shows portray aspects of abnormal behavior with varying degrees of accuracy. And then there are the tragic news stories of mothers who kill their children, in which problems with depression, schizophrenia, or postpartum difficulties seem to be implicated.
Abnormal psychology can also be found much closer to home. Walk around any college campus, and you will see flyers about peer support groups for people with eating disorders, depression, and a variety of other disturbances. You may even know someone who has experienced a clinical problem. It may be a cousin with a cocaine habit, a roommate with bulimia, or a grandparent who is developing Alzheimer’s disease. It may be a coworker of your mother’s who is hospitalized for depression, a neighbor who is afraid to leave the house, or someone at your gym who works out intensely despite being worrisomely thin. It may even be the disheveled street person in the aluminum foil hat who shouts, “Leave me alone!” to voices only he can hear.

It consists of over 30 audio-visual presentations analyzing the experiences and behaviors labeled as depression from this perspective.
Men and depression
Depression can have wide-ranging impacts on those suffering from it and their families. It affects over 121 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability. Men often present with different symptoms than women, such as irritability rather than sadness, and are frequently undiagnosed. Having a parent with depression can negatively influence children's development and increase their risk of mental health issues. It also commonly damages relationships and increases conflict between family members. Seeking treatment through medication and counseling can help address depression, as can social support from loved ones.

Addiction is a complex disease influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Treatment works and is cost-effective in the long run. There are three components to addiction: loss of control over substance use, compulsion to seek and take the substance, and chronic relapsing nature. Addiction is a brain disease that changes the brain in fundamental and lasting ways. Most people with addiction also have co-occurring mental health disorders, and outcomes are generally worse for those with co-occurring disorders compared to those with only substance abuse or a mental illness. Recovery is a process that involves abstinence, developing a sense of responsibility, managing a range of emotions, and developing intimacy.

Primhe 2011
The document critiques the medical model's overreliance on categories and ideals which fail to appreciate individual experiences and diversity. It also discusses the psychological model which links many medically unexplained symptoms to anxiety and depression. However, both models are limited as they do not consider the whole context of a person's life including culture, personal history, and well-being. The document proposes a Whole Context Approach which takes an integrated and reflexive view of a person holistically within their social context to better understand and address medically unexplained symptoms.
Mus primhe
1) Medically unexplained symptoms are common in primary care, with around 19-21% of patients having persistent symptoms for over 3 months. However, doctors often do not adequately address the psychosocial factors underlying these symptoms.
2) A study found that while 61% of patients referred to emotional or social problems underlying their symptoms, doctors only indicated physical disease could be present in 67% of consultations and made empathic statements in just 16%.
3) Doctors tend to propose symptomatic management rather than addressing underlying causes. Focusing on validating patients' experiences, expanding explanations to include psychosocial factors, and focusing on functional impairment rather than just symptoms may help doctors better assist patients with medically unexplained symptoms

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Giloy in Ayurveda - Classical Categorization and Synonyms
