...young children and teenagers has already started to reveal as observed in the majority of the youths who are constantly monitoring their eating habits and often take little food so as to watch their weights to fit a size 0. Eating disorders have been present for quite some time, and in each instance, they have been documented. The tendency to starve oneself and purge in weird behaviors varies across particular periods of history which proves that specific economic and social factors facilitated and inhibited such behaviors. Anorexia nervosa was given its name by name by William Gull, who was a British Physician in 1868. The disease became documented five years later by Charles Lasgue when he was writing his book. From his book, one could see the disease having being staged in young French ladies. He continued to say that this disorder was frequent for girls between the age of 15 years and 20 years and varied in three different stages. During the late 19th century, a conflict was provoked between science and religion due to the public attention was given to the so-called fasting girls. There were a lot of controversies as experts tried to understand why these girls were completely abstaining from food. Many believers referenced the dichotomy of body and mind while on the side skeptics put emphasize on materials of life and laws of science. Critics accused these fasting girls of being superstitious and hysteria. The disorder was also viewed as a form of hysteria during the Victorian...

... The Carvakas were condemned and critized as this philosophical entity did not believe in contemporary view of ethics. The Cārvākas denied metaphysical concepts like reincarnation, soul, religious rites, other world (heaven and hell), fate and accumulation of merit or demerit through the performance of certain actions. The rejected the use of supernatural causes to describe natural phenomena. To them all natural phenomena was produced spontaneously from the inherent nature of things.[21] Carvakas thought that body was formed out of four elements (and that consciousness was an outcome of the mixture of these elements. Therefore, Carvakas did not believe in an afterlife. To them, all attributes that represented a person, such a thinness, fatness etc, resided in the body. To support the proposition of non-existence of any soul or consciousness Cārvāka believed there was nothing wrong with sensual pleasures and that it was the only objective worth pursuing. Since it is impossible to have pleasure without pain, Cārvāka believed, wisdom lay in...

...Cultural Diversity 1 Running head: Cultural Diversity Cultural Diversity In the autumn of 2006 the population of the United States exceeded 300 million people. Of those 300 million, approximately 98 million, or 33%, of them are a part of a minority group (Jarvis, 2008). This growing number can be attributed to the increase number of immigrants coming to the United States for the opportunity to have a better life for themselves and their families. It is predicted that by the year 2050 the statistic of 33% of people that belong to a minority group will rise to 50%. Of the current 33%, 14.4% of people are of Hispanic or Latin origin. This makes Hispanics and Latinos the largest minority group in the country. African Americans account for 12.8%, Asians for 4.3%, and other groups for 2.7% of the ethnic minority population (Potter & Perry, 2009). The data on the United States population verifies an important fact that must be implemented within the health care system: the statistics reflect the cultural diversity of potential clients. From previous experience, I can concur that approximately one-third of the patients I saw belonged to a minority group. Health care professionals are expected to provide individualized care to their clients. In doing so, we must be aware of what makes them an individual. A person’s culture is a huge part of that. In order to fulfill our duty, we need to familiarize ourselves with the practices and beliefs of different cultures...

...The date was November 14, 2011. The patient was OG, a twenty-four year old male Hispanic. He immigrated to the United States when he was 5 years old from Guatemala, with his mother and he is a legal American citizen. He was brought to Aurora Behavioral healthcare on a 5150 by ex-wife and her parents due to suicidal ideation with a plan to overdose on his medications. He complained of worsening depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. He felt hopeless and had suicidal ideation prior to admission. The ex-wife reported she had received a text from the patient saying, “I need to do something before I hurt myself. You’d be better off if I were dead.” He and his wife separated in December of 2010 and the divorce was finalized in August 2011. The couple separated because of violence; they had gotten into an argument and he pushed her. His ex-wife stated OG’s depression had gotten worse over the past week. The patient said he suffered from blackouts and he couldn’t remember things that had happened. On September 21, 2011 he was arrested while working in Las Vegas for using technology to lure a minor and was in jail for 11 days. The patient said he blacks out and did not remember the incident and woke up in jail. In October of 2011 his physician NP Brantman, prescribed him trazodone, Abilify and Seroquel. He was admitted for suicidal ideation and major depression. Hispanics for the most part believe that health is...
