Living with constant pain is debilitating and exhausting for patients. Studies show that persistent pain interferes with activities of daily living (ADL’s) and social interactions (Breivik 2009).

Studies have been conducted which corroborate this.
If the mother is less aware or less concerned over health issues such as obesity, she will take less care over the child’s diet. As expected, there is a significant correlation between the diets of mothers and children (Ogden 2007) Parents, especially the mother, provide key role models for the child. This relates to the psychodynamic approach (Freud), in which a child has stages of development, unsuccessful development of these stages can affect the child in their later, adult, life, often leading to conflicts and anxieties. For example, if at the oral stage, in which children learn how to eat and drink and the associations that come with this,
People who suffer from Mental Conditions Tonya Clemons HCA 430 Catherine Amitrano October 29, 2013 Individuals who suffer from a mental condition face discrimination and they have a higher stigma due to having misconceptions of their mental state. People treat individuals with mental conditions as if they are dumb or retarded who cannot perform their own responsibilities for their lives. So there needs to be a place where these individuals can have a piece of mind along with the health care that is needed. Although, most individuals who have a mental condition will die prematurely, because they do not receive proper treatment or even have the adequate care that is needed for their mental state. “Mental illness has the same effect on life-expectancy as smoking, and more than obesity and mental illness accounts for nearly a quarter of the total burden of disease.” (CEP, 2012).
Severe depression can have many negative consequences in one’s life. The worst of which may result in suicide. Major depression is not just the emotional state of sadness, but it is a severe state of being that greatly affects all aspects of an individuals life.

Common short term effects are the constriction of pupils, drowsiness, apathy, slow breathing and dilation of blood vessels. Confusion and a persistent itching sensation can be effects too. Such slow breathing may cause a user to slip into a coma as well as nerve damage from convulsions. After using this drug, users usually get addicted to the euphoric feeling and go from inhaling to injection. Users build up a tolerance and give way to a physical dependency upon the drug, making the addict need larger and larger doses.
Childhood Obesity Parents are very much in denial when it comes to childhood obesity and how it relates to parent child relationships. There are many theories and reason why there is an increase in childhood obesity. One of those reasons is poor diets. More children have more access to unhealthy food with the increase in fast food restaurants. Also the lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle are causes for this epidemic.
Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID, is a severe mental disorder that cause the patient to experience severe dissociation from the environment and others around them. Dissociation is kind of like daydreaming, which most of us have experienced. People with DID experience a “lack of connection in a person’s thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity”, according to WebMD, a reputable site that provides health information (Costello). Many doctors and psychiatrists believe that DID starts because of a traumatic experience and victims of this disorder dissociate themselves from certain situations to alleviate pain and anxiety that the situation may cause. Although many doctors believe this, there is no proven cause of Dissociative
Feeding a baby correctly is one of the most important things you do for your baby, especially in their first few years of life. When a mother chooses how to feed their child, she should look at all the options and know the benefits and downfalls of each, and be flexible in her decision based on what her baby ends up needing when they are born. When a mother decides to breast feed, she cannot take many medications for fear of transferring them to her Baby through the breast milk. The effects of most medications, to a baby, are unknown because no one would want to test them out on a baby, that is just unethical. Also, when you breast feed you are still basically ‘eating for two’.
