...College can be stressful. You can easily get anxious trying to juggle school, work, friends, and family while trying to figure out the rest of your life. Most of us bounce back. But frequent, intense, and uncontrollable anxiety that interferes with your daily routines may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Causes? Schoolwork, they all replied. Money. Relationships. The more they thought about what they had to do, the students said, the more paralyzed they became.Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health diagnosis among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association.The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to compulsive engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the developmental drama of a student’s life, but now more students experience anxiety so intense and overwhelming that they are seeking professional counseling. As students finish a college year during which these cases continued to spike, the consensus among therapists is that treating anxiety...

...COPING MECHANISM Task-oriented / problem-focused coping Problem focused coping also referred to active coping involves controlling managing stress by directly altering situations Edward, 1999. It alters either the environment itself the environment interacts. This type reaction of coping is more stressor and it tends to be used by the people with high score on the big fire personality super factor conscientiousness Watson & Hubbar, 1996. Emotion-oriented / emotion-focused coping In contrast, emotion coping strategies involves the individual’s attempts to regulate emotional responses to, and decrease the effects of a stressful situation Edwards, 1999. This coping strategy can change a person’s emotional response to the stressor. This type of coping usually decreases arousal. People are likely to adopt emotion-focused coping itself and so they must alter their perception of, or responses to, the stressors. Studies with male participants have indicated that those perceiving less control over events are less likely to use problem-focused strategies involving direct actions and more likely to use emotion-focused strategies such as distraction and emotion support David&Sals, 1999. If he doesn’t think anything he does at work ultimately affects whether he gets did off, he is less likely to use active coping strategies. Another type of emotion-focused is venting.

...always simple. Chronic and debilitating medical disorders, loss of friends and loved ones, the inability to take part in activities that once had incredible meaning can all take a toll on an older person’s mental and emotional state. The loss of control over one’s life often causes negative emotions such as anxiety, loneliness, and sadness and lowered self-esteem, which can lead to depression (Better health channel 2015). The process of aging begins at birth and continues throughout life. Change is an inevitable part of the aging process. Sensation is the physical and mental process that allows us to receive information from our surrounding environment through the ears, skin, tongue, nostrils, eyes and other specialized sense organs. Sensory loss is defined as a decreased ability to respond to stimuli that affect our senses (hearing, touch, etc.). Imagine not being able to see a beautiful sunset, hear your grandchildren playing or smell your favourite flowers. These losses affect people in different ways. The impact of these losses can lead to social isolation, loneliness and feelings of depression (NDSU 2015)...

...As Obama Gets Older… As Obama Gets Older… Disengagement theory– This involves when an older person withdraws themselves from involvement in social interaction.The disengagement theory states that as you get older you naturally withdraw from others. Sometimes it can happen because as you get older you have less opportuinities to do things such as go out and socialise. Also another reason people disengage is because they cannot physically go out and do things due to their health. People tend to not only engage less with friends and distant relatives and more with closer relatives. Older people start to become more individualised and less bothered by the expectations of others and how they think or feel about them. In 1961 Cumming and Henry, two theorists that brought forward this theory both argued that it was and important process for older people to go through and that it was a natural part of ageing. They believed that as people grow older they start to withdraw due to the less opportuinities that they can take part in. In 1974 Bromley accepted this theory and believed that even if someone tries to fight the process of disengagement it is bound to happen at some point whether it is earlier or later on in their lives. He also said that people disengage because they do not have the physical and mental resources they had when they were younger. He believed that disengagement could happen...

...It can be very taxing on those with relationships with people with OCD; constantly affected by its demands. Children tend to involve their family members in their compulsions which can cause great strain (Anxiety and Depression Association of America). Family members often accommodate behaviors enabling OCD symptoms such as participating in the behavior, assisting in the avoidance of certain objects/situations, helping with the behaviors, making changes in the normal routines, leisure activities, or jobs and taking on extra responsibilities.

...TAGBAR Literature Problems Encountered by Irregular College Students Background of the Study Academic performance really means three things: this means the ability to study and remember facts, it also means being able to think in relation to facts and thirdly, it further means being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or practically (www.google.com). A marching band is a company of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment and sometimes in competition. Instrumentations typically include brass, woodwinds and percussion instruments (en.wikipedia.com). The marching band at Partido State University was one of the competing units among the marching bands. They joined military parades, concerts, street parades and many more. It means that joining in marching bands had a lot of trainings and practices to be done. In this regards the academic performance of the band members maybe sacrifice because of double priorities. In addition, the society may have different expectations of the performance of the band members according to their own perspectives. It was observed that there are band members who had incomplete or failing grades. It all depends on how they personally addressed problems as a student and as a band members who got failing grades and incomplete grades faced a consequence of termination as a band scholar. http://www.termpaperwarehouse.com/essay-on/Problems-Encountered-By-Irregular-College-Students/134394 Factors...
