A Review Study on Spiritual Intelligence, Adolescence and Spiritual Intellige...Jonathan Dunnemann
This study reviewed the articles about adolescence, its relation to spiritual intelligence and the related theories. The adolescence period is the best time to develop positive emotions and training skills, because adolescents are seeking to find their identity and their future personality at this period. Approach: Spiritual intelligence had a significant influence on the quality of life and it goes without saying that adolescence is a sensitive period which requires specific
training to make a brighter future and be exposed to the difficulties. Spirituality can be viewed as a form of intelligence because it predicts functioning and adaptation and offers capabilities that enable people to solve problems and attain goals. Results: Conceiving spirituality as a sort of intelligence
extended the psychologist’s conception of spirituality and allowed its association with the rational cognitive processes like goal achievement and problem solving. Conclusion: Emotional intelligence allowed us to judge in which situation we were involved and then to behave appropriately within it.
Spiritual intelligence allowed us to ask if we want to be in this particular situation in the first place.

Today more than ever, nutrition appears to be a testing ground where differences and inequalities between North and South of the world measure against each other, in particular with regards to childhood. n developed countries, if on the one hand obesity and overweight are dramatically increasing among young people, on the other adults has been affecting more and more by cardiovascular diseases and diabetes (type 2), pathologies on which (bad) nutrition habits, usually acquired during childhood and adolescence, have a strong effect. In developing countries, the scenario confirms the existence of a discouraging and apparently never ending emergence: millions of children are underweight because of chronic nutrition’s deficiency and malnutrition is one of the first childish deseases.

Running head: ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION 1
ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION 2
Adolescence is a crucial and significant period of development for understanding the course, treatment and nature of depression. It is not unusual for teens or adolescents to feel down in the dumps or experience the blues occasionally (Gabbay, Ely, Li, Bangaru, Panzer, Alonso, & Milham, 2013). For most boys and girls, adolescence is usually a time with many emotional, physical, social and psychological changes accompanying this life stage. It is an unsettling duration and time of life development. Unrealistic social, family and social expectations crease such a strong sense of rejection and develop into disappointment (Gabbay, Ely, Li, Bangaru, Panzer, Alonso, & Milham, 2013).
When issues are going wrong at home or in school, adolescents often overreact. To worsen the situation, teens are often bombarded with different and conflicting messages from society, friends and parents. Research shows that adolescent depression has heightened in the recent past, and the rate of increase is extremely alarming. Recent studies indicate that one out of five teens develop clinical depression during their life development stages (Oldehinkel, Ormel, Verhulst, & Nederhof, 2014). Health practitioners explain that diagnosing depression in adults can be extremely difficult since most adults usually expect the teens to show moody signs. Despite this, several symptoms can be looked at, and they can be easily detected.
Changes in sleeping or eating patterns should not be overlooked, since they can be attached to lack of motivation or energy, and lack of enthusiasm (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). Extreme cases of rage, anger, and an overreaction to criticism are associated with depression. Thirdly, adults and parents should look out for hopelessness and sadness, with the teens showing signs of withdrawal from the family, friends and activities such as sports (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). In school, teens experiencing depression have problems with school leaders and authority, and often show poor academic performance. In addition, during class hours, the teen may show signs of forgetfulness, poor concentration and indecision (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). In extreme cases, depressed teens or adolescents can harbour suicidal thoughts, or take actions towards this direction.
Adolescence depression is a time of intense moodiness, stress, and self-preoccupation has permeated professional perspectives on this important developmental period (Gilbo, Knight, Lewis, Toumbourou, & Bertino, 2015). The approaches to the classification and assessment of adolescent psychopathology have been shown and reflected in the literature on adolescent depression: depressive syndromes, clinical depression and depressed mood. There are several key fam ...

A Case of Adolescent Depression and Attempted Suicide Emily is 15-year-old girl from a middle-class Caucasian background who had a history of depression during her childhood. She had periods of low mood, poor self-esteem, and social withdrawal. She also had symptoms of anxiety and was very reluctant to leave her home. During her year in the seventh grade, she became so fearful of going to school that she missed so many days she had to repeat the grade. She currently is in the eighth grade and has, to this point, missed a great deal of school. Her family became very concerned over Emily’s low mood and isolation, so they enrolled her in an out-patient treatment program for depression, anxiety episodes, and eating disorders. Her depression continued, and she became more isolated, lonely, and depressed and would not leave her room even for meals. One day her grandmother found her in their car in the garage with the engine running in an effort to end her life. Emily was admitted into an inpatient treatment program following her serious suicide attempt.
There is a history of psychiatric problems, particularly mood disorders, in her family. Her mother has been hospitalized on three occasions for depression. Her maternal grandfather, now deceased, was hospitalized at one time following a manic depressive episode.
In the early phases of her hospitalization, Emily underwent an extensive psychological and psychiatric evaluation. She was administered a battery of tests, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for Adolescents (MMPI-A). She was cooperative with the evaluation and provided the assessment staff with sufficient information regarding her mood and attitudes to assist in developing a treatment program.
Emily showed many symptoms of a mood disorder in which both depression and anxiety were prominent features. The psychological evaluation indicated that she was depressed, anxious, and felt unable to deal with the school stress that her condition prompted. Moreover, her physical appearance and eating behavior suggested the strong likelihood of anorexia nervosa. Emily showed an extreme degree of social introversion on several measures and acknowledged her reticence at engaging in social interactions. The assessment psychologist concluded that her personality characteristics of social withdrawal, isolation, and difficult interpersonal relationships would likely result in her having problems in establishing a therapeutic relationship. Her treatment program involv.

UNICEF has highlighted how children suffer violence throughout all stages of childhood and adolescence, in different contexts, and often at the hands of people they trust and interact with on a daily basis.
Violent corporal punishment, 300 million children between 2 and 4 years old in the world regularly suffer violence from their family/guardians (about 3 out of 4), 250 million of these are punished physically (about 6 out of 10).
Sexual violence, Sexual violence occurs against children of all ages: 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced incidents of sexual violence in their lives, and 2.5 million young women in 28 European countries report having suffered episodes of sexual violence before the age of 15.

Adolescence is a term that refers to teenage years between thirteen and nineteen years. Adolescence itself is a stage and hence, a stage of transition. This is called a stage of transition because it is in this stage that many changes takes place in a person’s body. Such changes includes; physical changes and psychological changes. On the other hand depression is a term that describes a situation where one feels very low in moods and esteem and also avoids activities that contributes to the well being of a person.
Depression is normally related to anxiety, stress and worst of all, suicide. Therefore, adolescence depression (Teenage depression) refers to a serious problem that affects teenagers and that makes them always sad, very low in mood and also makes them lack interests in activities that contributes to their well-being. Adolescence depression can affects a teen’s school life, personal life, family life, social life and also work life.
It can be very difficult to parents to spot this mental problem in their children but adolescence depression, like other diseases, has got signs and symptoms. The most major symptom that can be noted is change in behavior and attitude. Behavior and attitude are accompanied by; a teen becoming irritable most of the time, appearing sad with no genuine reason, changes in a teen’s appetite, loss of interest in activities that a teen used to love earlier, feeling of worthlessness, guilt and low self-esteem, withdrawal from friends or activities that are done after school, changing sleeping habits and finally difficulty in concentrating in school work (Robert, Lewinson & Seeley, 2011).
Researchers have confirmed that there is no exact cause of adolescence depression but there are contributing factors to adolescence depression. Some of the factors are; traumatic early life events, differences in the brain, inherited traits and also learned pattern of negative things. Brains of adolescents have a different structure from adult brain and hence how their reasoning capacity is very low. Therefore, they can be easily affected by depression. Traumatic early life experiences can also make children lack well developed coping techniques. This hence makes children easily affected by depression when they become teenagers. Lastly, researchers have proved that teen depression is related to biological components and therefore, it can be passed down from parents to their teenage children. Teens who have relatives or parents who have depression are more likely to get depression themselves.
Teenage depression can be prevented by methods that are divided into three major categories. The three categories are; primary, secondary and finally, tertiary. Primary prevention is one of the major categories and is normally practiced at home. This prevention is usually administered by the parents, guardians and relatives. This prevention is normally done by pare ...

Descartes is chiefly responsible for what is known as mind-body dualism. He put forth the notion that the mind and body are separate and distinct entities and, as such, they do not impact one another. The pendulum has swung in both directions over the centuries, that is, from dualism to holism. However, today the more widely accepted perspective is holism or the bidirectional influence of mind and body.
What are some of the disadvantages of a dualistic perspective in psychology?

A great deal of learning takes place through social learning. For example, much of the aggressive behavior that is occurring among children and adolescents today is believed to have been established through social learning; that is, by imitating the violent, aggressive models they see on television and in video games. In fact, the research shows that children who consume a great deal of media violence at age 8 are more likely than their counterparts to have a criminal record by age 30. Children who consume a great of media violence also tend to be more self-centered and less concerned about other people. Do you agree with the aforementioned assertions? Why or why not?

2. How do society’s views on, and responses to, mental illness resemble those of past centuries? How do they differ?
Before the scientific era, those with mental illness were seen by society as different or being punished for sins or violating a taboo. After a few centuries of isolating those who had a mental disorder and being forced to fend for themselves, they start to be housed in mental asylums, the first was founded in 1817. When Sigmund Freud started to do his research on developmental psychology was when people started to understand that mental disorders are not because of a religious punishment and did not need to be excluded from society was when those with a mental disorder started to get help.
In today's modern society there are a lot of resources available for those who have a mental illness. In the past decade, I believe there has been a lot more acceptance and tolerance of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. But I think there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Living in San Diego there is a homeless problem and it's unfortunate common knowledge that a lot of them live on the streets because of mental illness whether it be because of addiction or schizophrenia to name a few. There are charities and resources out there that work to help get these people off the street but I think there is a lot of work that still needs to be done with regards to acceptance and getting people the treatment that they need if they have a mental disorder.

Explain the link between stress and mental illness, and then use that explanation to explain class, gender, and race differences in mental illness.
When people go through very stressful period in their lives it is called chronic stress. Anger, irritability, frustration, and aggressive behavior are some of the symptoms of chronic stress. These behaviors can affect the mind, cause depression or lead to bipolar disorder, which are mental disorders. If chronic stress is not treated it can cause a person to become insane. Person in the middle and upper class are less likely to suffer from stressful situations. On the other hand, people in the lower socio-economic class have much stress. Last year a video circulated on Facebook with a woman beating her daughter who three years old. It turned out that she was depressed and was taking it out on the child. According to the woman, she was the sole provider for her child because the father was absent, and the pressures of life had gotten to her. Women are more likely to suffer from stress than men which leads to anxiety and depression. Men to suffer from stress but they deal with it other ways. For example, a man going stress may resort to chronic violence. “Women experience much more fluctuation in hormone levels that are associated with symptoms of depressi ...
Comment 1Suicide in recent years has increased by 300 in adoles.docxdivinapavey
Comment 1
Suicide in recent years has increased by 300% in adolescent males aged 15 to 19 years old. Male adolescents were 6 times more likely to commit suicide then a female (Adolescence, C. O.,2000). Suicide between the ages of 15 to 19 is the third leading cause of death for adolescents (Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Adolescent suicide is preventable as problematic adolescents tend to give clues that can be verbal and nonverbal. It is important for people around the adolescent to recognize important warning signs.
There are many factors that contribute to suicide such as family history of mental illness, substance abuse, history of child abuse, and any type of abuse the adolescent has faced are leading factors of suicide. Depression leading from social problems, family problems, or environmental issues can also lead to suicide. There are three levels of suicide prevention first being the primary prevention which is reducing the risk factors and promoting the factors to end suicide by educating and giving the awareness of suicide. The second prevention is secondary prevention where a person has tendency of suicide and has been assessed as suicidal. It is then that the person is offered crisis counseling to help address any underlying problems and gets screening for suicide. The third prevention is the tertiary prevention where long term services and program are used to help the suicidal person because of the consequences of attempted suicide (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018).
For a nurse it is hard to assess if an adolescent child is suicidal or not. There are warning signs & symptoms that a nurse can look for to make an assessment. Behavioral changes such as substance use and abuse, writing notes or letters, poems and essays with suicidal material written in them, the adolescent becomes more of a risk taker, and increased physical violence to themselves or others.(Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Other symptoms include mood change like increased anger, sleep problems, hearing voices or talking to people not there, taking interest in death related things, and an expression of hopelessness (Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Other symptoms that are physically noticeable are posture, body movements, unusual dressing, and grooming and hygiene (Jarvis, C., 2012).
New Jersey state has a peer support & suicide prevention hotline where people can call 1-855-NJ-HOPELINE 24 hours a day to talk to someone confidentially. They can help provide support to people who just needs someone to talk to when life becomes stressful. The NJ hopeline can provide further counseling, support and referrals to local resources in your difficult times. Another resource the state offers is nj211 which also can help not only for suicide, financial assistance, food, utilities, and housing. The local community resource that that helps suicidal people is the National Alliance on Mental Illness organization. The organization offe ...
Social anxiety is the most common anxiety disorder and it affects individuals’ life very
profoundly. Recent findings have suggested that both parental attitudes and hopelessness are potential
vulnerability and maintenance factors for the development of social anxiety symptoms. Therefore, the aims of
the current study were to examine whether social anxiety, perceived parental attitudes and hopelessness differ
in male and female adolescents in order to identify predictors of social anxiety in Turkish adolescents. Hence,
the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, the short form of EgnaMinnenBeträffandeUppfostran Scale (short-EMBU),
and Hopelessness Scale were administered to 756 adolescents. Consistent with other findings, we could show
that females experienced more social anxiety, perceived more emotional warmth and more overprotection from
mother and mother than males. The results of a regression analysis for the whole sample revealed that being
female, greater the number of sibling, older grades, low mother education, perceived rejection from mother and
hopelessness are significant predictors of social anxiety. Finally, social anxiety was predicted by different
variables for females, (class level, mother education, mother rejection, hopelessness) and males (number of
sibling, hopelessness). Therefore, clinicians should consider these differences in their interventions.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum

As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
