Professor Denson and fellow classmates,
I do not actually have any direct quotes in my research paper to pull from for this discuss, however for this sandwich I will create some. I have never used direct quotes due to the rules and regulations around them, to me, it is easier to write my story and paraphrase as needed. This is just my way of handing, and writing, and I as we all know have no issues talking so writing is just that on paper. With that said, here goes let’s make some sandwiches (:
I. Dr. Fredric Neuman (2013) in his article in Psychology Today, A Cure For Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, states that doctors do not want to talk about cures when it comes to mental illness, when he states: “Too many illness are remitting and relapsing-that
Doctors and psychiatrists are too willing to place someone on medications for a quick fix. We are an overmedicated society looking for an easy answer for a solution to our problems. Research suggests that one in five Americans are diagnosed with a mental health disorder. I firmly believe that there is a mental health crisis in the United States and many people go undiagnosed. Mental health, does in my opinion, has stigmas attached to it.
I always assumed that someone’s health could only be treated by a doctor. Nonetheless, as my education flourished I soon realized that programs that focus on preventing adverse health outcomes could reduce the incidence of disease. Furthermore, public health provided the opportunity to develop prevention programs to assist those who suffered from mental illness. To learn this was not only exciting, it provided a break in the current gap of mental health prevention programs currently being offered in my county’s school districts.
Although, the author believes that curing mental illness as a spiritual
The prejudices that the mental health professionals surrounding people with mental illness also adds to the self-stigma which, increasing the “why try” effect, may tend to lead towards a cycle of stigma and lack of effective
Mental illnesses have a high prevalence amongst the United States population. Each year, tens of millions of individuals suffer and are affected by mental illnesses (National Institute of Mental Health, 1). These illnesses range from anxiety disorder, eating disorders, major depression, personality disorder, and many more. Yet, with the existing knowledge, mental providers and professionals, and the DSM-5, mental illness remains a growing mystery to the public. Literature has played a significant role in how mental illnesses are defined, their characteristics, and the portrayal of those who are mentally ill to the public eye.
Throughout recent years, mental illness has become a belittled and “taboo” topic in a multitude of different societies. As a result, a majority of the world’s population isn’t exactly clear as to how one should approach those suffering from mental instability. Unlike physical illness, where an entire system of doctors and hospitals and medical research developed in order to cater to those who were physically ill, mental illnesses do not get nearly as much attention. Some would argue that a physical illness proves to be significantly more detrimental to one’s day to day life. However, observation of mentally ill individuals proves that mental illness can be as equally debilitating (you probably know someone in your life who has died from the
Recently the treatments used treat Mental Illnesses have become humane and personalised depending on the patient's current mental state (3) Some of the new treatments
In the book Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen, one of the biggest focal points is mental illness. Mental illness can be tough to talk about, simply because the phrase “mental illness” encompasses such a wide range of conditions and conjures up images of deranged people, but it is very important, especially in this book. There is a certain stigma that people who are put into mental hospitals because they have medical problems or are insane and a possible danger to society. While this is sometimes true, it is far more common for patients to need help for a disorder, but just don’t know where to go or what to do, and can end up putting themselves or someone else in danger.
Meaning she thinks drug therapy is good. Taslma states, “The increase in utilization of medications for psychological and behavioral disorders can be attributed to greater awareness among patients that mental health disorders are treatable and that available drug therapies are safe and effective, according to David Muzina, MD, a national practice leader of the Medco Neuroscience Therapeutic Resource Center. (1)” I plan to use this as my counterargument quote for my essay. Sure, mental health disorders can be treated with drugs but it’s not all and sure drug therapy can be safe but only for some mental disorders.
When people hear the words, “mental illness,” they think of insane asylums and psychiatric wards, but that’s not necessarily the case. Yes, back in the 1800’s they did have asylums for people with mental disorders. But that was when doctors didn’t fully understand mental illnesses and disorders. But currently, doctors are able to comprehend illnesses and disorders.
This message could give the wrong idea to people especially younger audiences that behavior like this will be awarded and in the end leave a “happy ending”. This is also an inaccurate representation of actual psychological treatment received, as phycologists these days are more invested and respecting towards those with illnesses and created a motive toward establishing a more helping environment. Not only can bad influences like these can be seen in the novel, but inaccuracy is
Looking over the information found in our text, the maximum percentage for direct quoting is around 15 percent. “Quotes can be used to demonstrate dialect speaking style, emphasize a point, or explain an official policy.” (Bethel University, 2013, pg. 8) While having quotes can be beneficial, too many quotes can overpower the argument you are trying to make.
Quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing another writer's work is crucial to demonstrating an understanding of any topic thought out college life. When writing it is important to understand when to use each in your writing. Referencing others written work will help demerated to reader a clear understanding of the topic at hand. A student should use direct quoting when what is being said needs to be taken work for word.
You are valuable. Say it with me. “I am valuable”. Do you believe it? Let’s try again, but this time let’s include Christ.
