...Torrie Jauregui Com/172 August 20th, 2014 Brendan Praniewicz Anxiety Anxiety is a disorder where people live in fear. The people who suffer with this disorder worry all the time about if something will go wrong. This disorder destroys how people suffering with it live on a daily basis. People suffering with this disorder fear from being judged by others. They fear going out and being a part of society, they fear that they will have a massive panic attack out of know where. This disorder creates social anxiety, affects personal life, and creates panic attacks in the person suffering. Social anxiety is the extreme fear of being scrutinized and judged by others in social or performance situations “Anxiety and depression association of America, 2014.” People dealing with social anxiety have a hard time being in situations that make them have to deal with or be around other people. Here is an example about social anxiety effecting a man named Greg. One day Greg got talked into going to a party with his roommate. However, Greg’s roommate suddenly had to work that day and could no longer attend. Greg now was going alone and had not been able to come up with a good reason to no longer go. When he arrived his anxiety was starting to hit him; he was sweating vigorously. Once he entered the party, he no longer wanted to be there. His new objective for the night was to hide in plain sight and get out as soon as he could (Jantz, 2014). The fear of letting down his roommate made it to...

...researching the Internet on how the use of Internet has led to increase in obesity in children, addiction to pornography, and other crimes that have made many scholars to investigate how they can reduce the negative impact Internet has on life of children. To this end, in this essay it is argued that children should not use the Internet because there is no awareness about the influence of the technology directed to children, the Internet-based interventions do not reduce depression symptoms among children, and it will save them from sexual exploitation. The overuse of Internet has created depression among different people. There are interventions that have been structured to help people in dealing with the depression without the need of using face-to-face interventions. Although there are studies on this interventions, there are no studies that synthesis the effectiveness of this interventions in dealing with depression. A study examined the use of Internet-based interventions in helping children with depression (Ye, et al., 2014, 1). This study indicated that the available Internet-based strategies are able to reduce anxiety symptoms and able to increase remission rate.

...Causes of Depression: Cognitive Behavioral vs Biological Jeanell McIver Developing a Psychology Perspective Dr. Horton Capella University October, 2014 Abstract Based on studies and research, we all have been exposed and affected by depression, whether personally or by family and friends, no matter your age, gender, economical or religious status. There are several studies that debate whether the main cause of those dealing with depression stems from a Biological or Cognitive-behavioral aspect. I will endeavor to show with supporting evidence that many develop depression based on their cognitive disposition. Many people are facing depression based on the lack of or inability to deal with life’s issues and the negative events that have or are presently taking place in their lives, and faulty thinking which include components like, pessimism and low self- esteem. Causes of Depression: Cognitive versus Biological With there being so much research evidencing the causal factors of the ongoing, the onset and the reappearance of depression which affects all nationalities, economic statuses, both male and female and religious orders, this paper will show the correlation or link and differences between the Cognitive Behavioral and Biological aspects. Even though those who are predisposed to depression based on family history are likely to deal with depression, there are many who do not develop depression because of a strong and stabilized belief system and how...

...Severe Depression Latashia Bennett ABS 200 Audrey Hall November 4, 2013 Severe depression is a mood disorder when you have delusions or hallucinations. Severe depression is a mental disorder usually when people have low mood, loss interest in normally gratifying activities. The depressed person can be diagnosed with psychosis, which makes them paranoid and out of touch with reality. There is no test for diagnosing severe depression. The person’s self-reported experiences, behavior reported, and a mental status examination determine the diagnosis. Severe depression has impacted a lot of the world in today’s society. The general public believe that depression is caused by both nature and nurture factors. A majority of the public believed that nurture has a greater influence on whether the person gets depression or not. Biological psychologists believe that a person usually develop depression because of genetic factors. Family history is very important evidence for doctors to see when trying to diagnosis depression since the family history will show whether depression illness runs through the families that could have been inherited. Children of depressed parents have a twofold- to- threefold greater risk of developing depression than children of nondepressive parents (Ainsworth, 2000). When someone has depression, it can seem like things will never get better. Overall severe depression can cloud a person’s thinking. This thinking can sometimes make it harder to reach out...

...Mentally/emotionally: People with dm type 1 are 2 times more likely to experience depression [ (Depression symptoms, n.d.) ] Notes: According to Depression symptoms, there can be many reasons why people with DM type 1 are more susceptible to depression: May feel alone because you don’t know anyone else with DM, worry of possible side effects, may feel like you’ve lost control, DM is relentless with it’s constant changing as you grow older. (Depression symptoms, n.d.)

Sexually: In men, impotence may come and go at times. It may begin with erections that are less firm than before, and then progress to those which are shorter duration and less firm. In women, it was reported less sexual desire, less satisfaction, more avoidance of sex, difficulty with lubrication, and fewer orgasms [ (Sander Polin, 2012) ]. Notes: Sanders-Polin suggests that in addition to the symptoms of diabetes, some of the sexual dysfunctions can be due to the stress of dealing with a chronic disease and the medications taken.

...at the preventive maintenance in pre-adolescent girls, before they reach puberty. This is a longitudinal study designed to research how preventive maintenance can help lower anxiety and depression in adolescence. This is an ongoing investigation with other research that has implemented other types of intervention models for depression. However, the focus of this study is to help young girls in discovering their true identity when reaching a period in their life where stress from school, social pressure and media have an effect on their way of thinking. Introduction There is a significant difference in depression in adolescent girls compared to that in boys. A lot of research has been developed to find reasons which may explain the increased rate of depression, but very little research has been done on the preventive side to help adolescents in dealing with stress and anxiety. The reason for this research is to help facilitate a better way of coping and managing a young person’s stress and anxiety; by helping minister better alternatives to solutions that they may not be fully aware of. The groups which will be examined are pre-adolescents girls, ages 8 to 11, more specifically the 4th and 6th grade level. Proposal Earlier studies concluded that young girls experience more anxiety/depression then boys around the ages of 13 to 15 years old. (Stephanie J. Cox, 2010).

...involvement, while being more likely to be involved in volunteer work (Varon & Riley, 1999). Research has also shown that those living through traumatic experiences have discovered that coping though a religious framework has been beneficial (Plante, Saucedo, & Rice, 2001). Miller and Thoresen (1999) has discovered “increasing spiritual and/or religious integration in psychotherapy has improved treatment outcome for religious clients.” Depression Research proposes that religiosity and spirituality are linked with reducing levels of depression on a general scale (Captipovic, Ilakovac, Durjancek, & Amidzc, 1995; Cosar, Kocal, Arikan, & Isik; Plante & Boccaccini, 1997). On the other hand, based on other studies, there is not a clear correlation between religious involvement and depression (Koenig et al., 1997). Research that studies the association between depression and religion has been placed into three classifications: religiosity as susceptibility to depression, religion as a coping mechanism for dealing with depression, and the...

...Psych 100 7/26/15 Sheia Dwyer Grief Essay In this paper I will discuss the five stages of grief which have been identified as: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance (Kubler – Ross, 2014). The stages don’t always come in order and there is no specific time frame, which a person goes thru them (Kubler-Ross, 2014). Kubler Ross explains the five stages as follows: Denial which is usually the first stage, where the person can’t believe that it is happening to them. Anger person may become angry with themselves, family members, network or even God. Holding everyone responsible for their plight (Kubler-Ross, 2014). They begin to bargain/negotiate with God to allow me to make it thru this situation or allow me to stay around long enough to make sure my family will be safe (Kubler-Ross, 2014). They become depressed and despondent giving up hope as well as all sense of positivity (Kubler-Ross, 2014). The last and final stage is acceptance of their fate. They have made peace with God and their inner circle, most importantly with themselves (Kubler-Ross, 2014). Although the Kubler-Ross model is a process for dealing with death, she original wrote it as stages dealing with any form of major personal loss (Larry Menkes). All cultures handle death differently, In Switzerland they accept death as a part of life. They compare it with birth, as a process and people are allowed to die at home surrounded...

The Great Depression would alert a “reorganization of capitalism which will take a variety of political forms from the New Deal to Fascism" (Klee).
