World health day
Depression is an ocean,
unpredictable and unwavering.
Its depths are deep.
Its Highs are shallow.
Depression is the sky,
amazing and determined.
Its depths reach our soul.
Its highs touch the heavens.
Depression is the sun,
Mysterious and huge.
Its depths are unimaginable.
Its Highs wish to swallow the earth.
Depression is...me...is it you?

The document discusses bullying and its negative effects. It defines bullying as psychological, physical, or verbal abuse that is habitually inflicted by those with greater power upon their victims. Three main types of bullying are identified: emotional, verbal, and physical. Bullying most often occurs in schools, among adolescents, and is aimed at intimidating and psychologically harming the victim. Left unaddressed, bullying can increase the risk of suicide or prevent victims from feeling safe and comfortable at school. Teachers and parents must work to curb bullying by establishing clear rules against aggression and ensuring children who are bullied feel supported.

The document discusses child abuse syndrome, including definitions, types of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, medical, neglect), symptoms, signs, risk factors, complications, prevention, treatment, and coping strategies. The main types of abuse are physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, medical abuse, and neglect. Symptoms vary but may include behavioral changes, emotional issues, and physical signs of injury. Prevention focuses on providing love and supervision to children, knowing caregivers, and getting support. Treatment involves therapy and improving family relationships and attachment.
case presentation
This case presentation summarizes the psycho-social assessment and management of a 35-year-old male patient with a 12-year history of alcohol abuse and psychotic symptoms. The summary includes details of the patient's socio-demographic background, family history, clinical diagnosis, and psychosocial factors contributing to his illness. The intervention plan involved individual-level rapport building, psychoeducation, and relapse prevention techniques, as well as family-level supportive therapy and counseling. The outcome was an improved knowledge of his illness and increased motivation to quit alcohol on the patient's part.
Classification of child psychiatry
Child psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on behavioral, emotional, and developmental disorders in children and adolescents under age 18. It involves treating conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment disorders, schizophrenia, and effects of abuse or trauma. Child psychiatrists conduct evaluations of a patient's history, mental status, family relationships, and functioning at home and school to diagnose conditions and formulate treatment plans. Common approaches include medication management and therapies that are modified for children compared to adult patients. Childhood disorders have multiple contributing factors including genetics, temperament, medical issues, family dynamics, and environment.

1) The school nurse and parent discussed their relationship and communication regarding a child with special needs.
2) While the nurse felt she sought input daily from parents, the mother felt she was the last to know things and not consistently informed.
3) Both agreed more consistent and positive communication was needed, with the common goal being the child's success and well-being through mutual respect between professionals and parents.
Pica disorder
Pica is an eating disorder characterized by persistent eating of non-nutritive substances for over a month. It is more common in children, women, and those with developmental disabilities or nutritional deficiencies. Types include eating clay, ice, laundry starch, or lead paint chips. While the cause is uncertain, factors like nutritional deficiencies, cultural practices, psychological trauma, and neglect may play a role. Pica can cause health issues like anemia, lead poisoning, and gastrointestinal complications. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, behavioral therapy, and preventing access to harmful substances.
A synopsis of bipolar disorder and the feelings
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by periods of extreme depression and mania. It affects about 3-5% of the population worldwide. While there is a genetic component, having bipolar parents does not guarantee a bipolar child. Treatment involves medication and therapy to manage the mood cycles, which can last from hours to years in duration. Living with bipolar disorder strains relationships and impacts work, school, finances and family life due to the unpredictable shifts in mood and behavior.
BPSS Clinical Case Presentation
K is a 26-year-old married woman with two young children who was referred for ongoing mental health treatment. She experiences auditory and visual hallucinations, insomnia, paranoia, and a difficult relationship with her husband. Her history includes type 1 diabetes, multiple hospitalizations, childhood trauma, and a lack of social support. Assessment revealed depressed mood and a need for continued treatment to improve functioning and quality of life.
Dear doctor jb
Mrs. Baker's family is concerned about her physical and mental health. They believe the medications she is prescribed may not be working or appropriate given her continuing reports of pain. Her behavior has also become bizarre, irrational, and hostile, which is out of character. She recently caused a scene at her son's workplace trying to commit fraud. Her family wants a full review of her medications and tests to check for other substances in her system, as they suspect she may be taking non-prescribed cannabis and amphetamines in addition to her prescribed drugs. They are worried she will seriously harm herself if she continues on this path and want the doctor's help addressing the situation.
Personal Statement
The document is a personal statement written by Debora Ferrier for a psychology program. It details her lifelong interest in helping people, which began in childhood. Though she initially planned to pursue psychology in college, life interfered. Now with grandchildren in her custody, she has the opportunity to return to school. Her goal is to earn a doctorate in family counseling with a focus on the psychosocial effects on siblings of chronically ill children, based on her own family's experiences. She has extensive work experience in caring for others and hopes to research these topics.
Special child
The document discusses several case studies of families coping with special needs children. It examines how factors like family beliefs, perceptions of the child, and dynamics between siblings can impact how families deal with issues like mental retardation, autism, or intellectual giftedness in some children. It also explores therapeutic interventions used in some cases including neuropsychological assessments, individual and family therapy, and enrollment in special education programs.
Sample Timeline
Jane Doe experienced significant trauma and substance abuse issues throughout her life. She was born in * to parents with drug and alcohol addictions, lived in an orphanage from age 6 to 13 after they died of overdoses, and was adopted and brought to the US in 2011. She was sexually abused multiple times, developed PTSD, and began using drugs at a young age. In 2014, she ran away from her adoptive home and residential treatment and ended up dancing at strip clubs, using hard drugs, and potentially being trafficked.
Child abuse
There are four main types of child abuse: physical, sexual, psychological, and neglect. Child abusers are often family members like uncles, aunts, or neighbors rather than strangers. Physical abuse includes injuries like bruises, fractures, and burns caused by deliberate harm or repeated harsh treatment. Sexual abuse involves exposing children to inappropriate sexual activities, behaviors, or materials. Psychological abuse can consist of mean remarks that make a child feel unwanted or teaching them illegal behaviors. Neglect refers to the failure to provide essentials like food, shelter, medical care, education, or a safe environment. Parents should teach children about protecting themselves, build trust, and seek help from organizations if needed.
Social anxiety
This document discusses the relationship between social anxiety disorder and eating disorders. It notes that social anxiety disorder and eating disorders are commonly comorbid. People with social anxiety disorder often fear negative evaluation regarding their shape and weight, which can contribute to the development of eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Treatments for eating disorders, like enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy, also target social anxiety by addressing concerns about external appearance and self-esteem. Overall, the document examines the links between social anxiety and eating disorders and how treatments need to consider both conditions.

How do people become addicts
There are four main reasons why people become addicts: genetic predisposition, dealing with mental illness, submitting to peer pressure, and experiencing childhood trauma. Those with a family history of addiction are more likely to struggle with addiction themselves. Many addicts also suffer from mental health disorders that motivate substance abuse for relief. Both teens and adults can fall prey to peer pressure that leads to addiction. Repeated childhood abuse can shape brain chemistry and increase vulnerability to lifelong addiction. Seeking help from addiction counselors or programs can help break the cycle of addiction within families.

Running head VIGNETTE ONEVIGNETTE ONE 2VIGNETTE ONE .docx
This summary analyzes the vignette using a narrative therapy approach. It discusses how John and Mary may have internalized different cultural narratives from their upbringings that influence their parenting styles. John's view of tough discipline could stem from experiencing racism growing up and wanting to prepare his sons, while Mary's desire to protect her sons may relate to traditional gender roles in African American families. The therapist would need to be culturally sensitive and understand each person's perspective without stereotyping, while also considering their ethical and legal obligations.
The AssignmentRespond to at least two of your colleagues .docx
The Assignment:
Respond to at least two of your colleagues by providing feedback on each colleague’s therapeutic approach based on a narrative family therapeutic perspective. Support your feedback with evidence-based literature and/or your own experiences with clients.
Support your responses with evidence-based literature with at least two references in each colleagues response.

The family client is made up of a father, mother, and their son, a ten-year-old boy. The family is biracial and is made up of four people; father, mother, a ten-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter. Initially, they had visited the clinic on a referral basis from the family’s psychiatrist. They had concerns with the behavioral issues their ten-year-old son exhibited while at home as well as at school. The son is currently in fifth grade and attends a public school, the mother runs a local coffee shop in their neighborhood, and the father is a construction worker. The mother was talkative and soon started talking about stressors in life, including their son’s behavioral issues. She states that besides receiving services and extra help her son gets while at school, he is still lagging behind. The exact services had not been explained. The father did not talk much. In fact, he sat away from the family and always displayed a sarcastic grin on his face every time the mother complained. The son was friendly but did not talk much.
After assessments and evaluations, diagnostic evaluations established that the kid had ADHD. In addition to this, the family displayed tendencies of dysfunctional interactions. Once the family unit was mentioned, the mother was quick to state that she believes that there was an issue with the way the whole family functioned. She further suggested that they needed help as a family to understand their situation better as we as know why their son was having behavioral issues. Family therapy was suggested. Everyone but the father readily consented to the suggestion. He later on consented.
Over the past two sessions, the father seemed uncomfortable and hardly participated. He would once in a while tell his wife to shut up when confronted and criticized. The mother always brought up her dissatisfaction with the way her husband lacked warmth and concern for their son’s issues. She felt that the whole burden of raising their kids was on her. She further stated that without him interfering, the son would soon influence their younger daughter, which was already happening. The son spent much of the time stooped over the table due to attention being always on him. He was always silent and uncomfortable.
Interactions between the clients were more complicated than anticipated, and too much time was spent on the interaction between the mother and the therapist. A therapeutic relationship was easily formed between the mother and the therapist. The other members of the family hesitated, with a continual alli.
answers to questions on anxiety disorders.docx
The document discusses two case studies, Jennifer and Tommy, and asks questions about diagnosing and treating them.
For Jennifer, a 6-year-old girl with anxiety about school separation, the diagnosis would likely be separation anxiety disorder given her fears of harm coming to her mother and difficulty separating from her. Her symptoms have impacted her peer relationships and could affect her academics if left untreated.
For Tommy, a 13-year-old boy who is increasingly worried and engages in rituals and compulsions, the diagnosis would be obsessive-compulsive disorder. His symptoms have begun interfering with his schoolwork and social life. Initial treatment would involve cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication could be considered if symptoms are not fully relieved

Working With Survivors of
Sexual Abuse and Trauma:
The Case of Angela
Angela is a 27-year-old, Caucasian female, who first came to
counseling to address her history of sexual abuse. She graduated
from college with a BS in chemistry and has since been employed
by pharmaceutical companies. After obtaining a new job, she relo-
cated to an apartment in an East Coast city where she knew no
one. Both of Angela’s parents live on the West Coast, and she has
one younger brother who also lives in a different state. Angela has
limited contact with both her mother and brother and does not
have any contact with her father. Angela is obese and disclosed
a history of struggling with her weight and eating issues. She has
few friends, and those she does have live far away.
Angela has a long history of trauma in her life. She was sexually
abused between the ages of 9 and 21 by her father, sexually assaulted
at the age of 14 by a classmate in school, and mugged as a young
adult. There was domestic violence in the home, also perpetrated by
her father. Angela’s father is considered an upstanding member of
the community, and he is well liked and respected by others. No one
in Angela’s family believes that she was sexually abused, and her
father joined a “false memory syndrome” group and is outspoken
about that issue. There has been little discussion in her family about
what took place in the home while she was growing up.
Angela struggled with daily functioning and exhibited symp-
toms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She had a history
of cutting herself and binge eating and displayed some charac-
teristics of borderline personality disorder. Angela also mildly
dissociated when under duress. Angela suffered from depression
and anxiety and had trouble establishing new relationships, both
socially and at work. Although Angela has a stable job and was
able to complete her work each day, at times she became over-
whelmed by her emotions and retreated to the bathroom where
she cried and sometimes cut herself before returning to her work-
station. Angela relied on writing, artwork, and her cat for solace

and comfort. She was also very active outdoors, often hiking,
biking, and going on camping trips by herself. Her goals in life
were to own her own home, lose weight, enjoy relationships with
others, and find peace with her traumas.
As a result of the abuse she experienced, it was necessary to
begin treatment focusing heavily on establishing trust and a rela-
tionship with the client. After 1 year of therapy, deeper process
work was being done around her traumas, and she was able to
open up much more. She disclosed more painful experiences to
the therapist and began expressing her feelings, including intense
anger at her family members.
Angela also joined a group for survivors of sexual violence in
the same program where she was receiving individual therapy. .
Taking the Last Stand
The document describes the case of Annabel, a 14-year-old girl who was adopted at age 3 but presented with complex needs including autism and attachment disorder. Her behaviors escalated with puberty and secondary school, resulting in violent outbursts towards her adoptive mother. She was ultimately placed in a residential home for safety reasons. The placement allowed Annabel to maintain contact with her adoptive family, which helped her develop resilience and confidence in the family unit despite not living with them. The case demonstrates how adoptive families can assert their parental rights to support a child in an out-of-home placement.
Elim Clinic Newsletter final - Feb15
This document summarizes an article from the Elim Clinic Newsletter from February 2015. It discusses how addiction affects families and children. Some key points:
- Children in addict families often take on adult roles and responsibilities to care for parents and siblings. They learn not to trust their own feelings and experiences.
- Living with addiction is confusing for children, as they are taught not to believe what they see. They internalize feelings of shame and learn not to trust themselves or others.
- Children may adopt roles like the "responsible child" or "family hero" to cope with the dysfunction in the addict home. These roles can persist into adulthood.
- Growing up in an addict home is lonely and scary for children
Reseach and planning draft 4 part 3
The document outlines ideas for an opening sequence about a girl struggling with bulimia who goes on a strict diet to get into university but ends up making herself sick after eating and losing a dangerous amount of weight before seeking help. It proposes showing the girl looking in the mirror critically, making herself vomit, and depicting her body disorder to convey the inner turmoil of bulimia.

Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small sub.pdf
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small suburban town with her younger
brother, Brody, and her parents, Minka and Bruce. In the past, Ella was always a straight-A
student. She loved school and had many close friends. She was actively involved in cheerleading
and drama club. Ella\'s parents report that over the last 6 months, Ella\'s grades have dropped
significantly. She decided that cheerleading is \"not cool\" and she does not want to be in the
drama club any more. She lost about 15 pounds and is often arguing with her brother and her
family. She does not like to socialize with her friends anymore and is always on the computer but
will not share what she is doing. Ella\'s parents recently reconciled after a 4-month separation.
Bruce was just discharged from a substance-use inpatient center where he was receiving
treatment for alcohol dependence. Her mother carries a diagnosis for anorexia nervosa but has
not displayed any symptoms for 5 years. Both of her parents have been actively engaged in
family counseling and individual therapy as well.
Based on this scenario, answer the following:
What additional information would be helpful for you to effectively form a diagnosis?
What theory of adolescent development would you use to gain an understanding of what is
happening with Ella? Remember, it is often necessary to consider and even apply more than one
theory when working with an adolescent.
How would you compare and contrast the development of Ella\'s issues from a cognitive, social,
and psychodynamic perspective?
Which theory best supports the behaviors that we are currently seeing with Ella?
Solution
The additional information that is required is whethere ella has gone for depression checkups or
has been detected with depression and if she has received therapies.
The theory is the ecological theory which tells about the interaction between indisvisual and the
environment.This is given by URIE BRONFENBRENNER.This theory tells about yow the
adolescents are influenced by family, peers, religion, schools, the media, community, and world
events.
Ella\'s case is the case of depression causes due to social anxiety as she doesnt want to meet
people and her family was seprated for 4 months. She is going through phases but it doesnt
include cognitive anxiety.
The theory of social cognitive learning is very important for her to understand the relations and
society..

Teen depression is a serious disorder that occurs during the teenage years marked by persistent sadness, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in activities. It can be caused by stress at school, unrealistic expectations from parents, family dysfunction, traumatic events, or bullying. Symptoms include changes in school performance, eating and sleeping habits, low self-esteem, social isolation, excessive guilt or anxiety, and in severe cases, suicidal thoughts. It is important for depressed teens to receive prompt treatment from a mental health professional, such as therapy or medication, to prevent worsening of symptoms and potential suicide. Depression can lead to distorted thinking that makes suicide seem like the only option, so treatment is crucial when suicidal thoughts are present.

Mrs. M, aged 40, came to the clinic complaining of insomnia, weight loss, sadness, and suicidal thoughts after discovering her husband's affair. She was diagnosed with depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy was proposed to help change her negative thought patterns and behaviors. The therapist would explain the treatment rationale and collaborative approach.

- 1. To The Bone Eating disorders/anorexia
- 3. Anorexia Anorexia is an eating disorder where it makes people be obsessed with how much they weigh and what they eat. It is characterized by having a fear of being overweight, liking your body image, exercising to much, and refusing to eat. It can be caused by many things like, social pressure, childhood experiences, sexual abuse, and not having self love. Therapy is used as a way to treat, help, heal to try and get the person better.
- 4. Media In the movie there is a 20 year old girl named Ellen who dropped out of college and she struggles with anorexia. She goes to multiple facilities to try and get help but she just gets worse and worse. She had a problem loving herself which lead to the anorexia. Her and her family didn’t get along to well, her parents got a divorce when she was young and her dad got remarried and after her not getting better he gave up on trying to help her, and her mom abandoned her and moved to Phoenix.
- 5. Media cont. Her step mom realizes that she isn’t getting any better so she tries one last thing. They decide to send her to a group home for young people. Ellen said no at first but then her younger sister convinces her to go. The home ran by a doctor that has unusual methods for treating their disorders. He instead makes her face her problem and makes her see life in a different light. After a few bumps, almost dying because of how small she was, and leaving the group home she finally decides to get better and tries to enjoy life with her new boyfriend that she met while she was in the home.
- 6. Connection
- 7. Here we have Ellen checking her weight to see if she has gained any weight, which corresponds the the psychological aspect of being obsessed over your weight and constantly checking it.
- 8. Ellen is looking very unhealthy here and is on the verge of dying.Her family gave up on her and she is starting to give up, and lose hope in getting better at all.
- 9. This is a scene from when she leaves the home and starts self reflecting and realizes that she wants a better life for herself. She then decides to go back to the group home and after some time she gets to a healthy weight.
- 10. Conclusion In conclusion anorexia is no joke and should not be taken lightly, the stress and anxiety she had from her parents ultimately lead to her anorexia.Ellen did the right thing in trying to seeking the help and therapy she needed to get better. In class we learned about Behaviorism and how it can affect people and Ellen's parents divorcing and her mom abandoning her, which made her feel alone and unloved which made her not love herself, which lead to the anorexia.
