Depression And Asthm Annotated Bibliography

692 Words3 Pages

This Article “Depression, Asthma, and Bronchodilator Response in a Nationwide Study of US Adults” objective is to find if there is a connection between depressive symptoms and BDR or asthma in US adults. The United States alone has 16 million adults that suffer once a year from one major depressive disorder. Also, asthma affects nearly 28 million adults in the US and is also a major public health issue around the world. Even though asthma and depression have been linked with each other, it is still not clear if anxiety symptoms explain this association. But, to get some more statistics they did The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to get the nutritional and health status of adults and children in the United States. They interviewed and did physical exams on study participants who had different experiences with asthma. There were no major differences in household income, sex, smoking status, health insurance coverage, race/ethnicity, and depression …show more content…

It was also mind-blowing to find out all the statistics that are based off it. It has opened my mind to the bigger picture, that you never really know someone’s stories. I try to keep an open mind and open heart all the time but this just goes to show no matter what I’m going through someone else’s could be completely worse than mine.

  • Julie Scelfo Male Depression Summary

    555 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this article, the journalist Julie Scelfo discusses the causes, symptoms and consequences of under-diagnosed male depression. The author starts by assessing that from the millions of Americans who suffer from depression, very few men seek help. Indeed, men tend to not take care of themselves and therefore often fail to recognize depression symptoms. Another important factor is that many men won’t admit their struggle, seeing the illness and its acceptation as weakness. Influenced by social norms or ideals by which successful men should be positive and in control, some even prefer to kill themselves than to admit they need help.

    It also taught me about the steps a health educator could take in order to “close the health disparity gap regarding Alzheimer’s disease and African Americans” (Fortune, Lang, Cook, & Byrd 2013). This stood out to me, because it went hand-in-hand with the Dream Job research that we had to do for the class. The article provided the same job responsibilities that I researched for the Dream Job assignment. It confirmed that the job responsibilities that I found were key in preventing disease and helping control the spreading of disease. I learned that Alzheimer’s affects African American’s disproportionately compared to other races.
