The ‘world’ of mental health briefly consists of people, services, policy, and legislation. For the individual involved in the ‘world’ of mental health their experiences of mental distress may vary in relation to the services they are part of, and what role they have within those services. The course model places the individual at the centre, with social, environmental, economic, and political influences surrounding them, and the wider factors of ethics and values surrounding these. These elements can influence each other, and all provide a framework to explore the meaning of mental distress for the individual. There have been many attempts at defining mental health or illness, each using different terminology depending on the perspectives.
Nations and cultural groups also differ in how particular types of education, work, or family roles are valued, and these perceptions tend to be internalized by group members and reflected in their choices. Career development can be thought of in both structural and developmental terms (Herr & Cramer, 1996). The structure of career development refers to the elements that comprise concepts like career maturity, career adaptability, career planfulness, and person-job congruence (Holland, 1997). Career maturity, for example, in adolescence and career adaptability in adulthood tend to include five factors: planfulness or time perspective, exploration, information, decision making, and reality orientation. These five factors are structural components of career maturity, and each factor has its own structural sub-elements (cited in Concise Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology & Behavioral Science,
D2- Evaluate the influence of two major theories of ageing on health and social care provision. I will talk about this particular topic using the 2 examples I have chosen in regards to theories of ageing influencing provisions, those are social disengagement theory and activity theory. Many of the elderly take very different approaches to ageing and some fit into categories of ageing theories such as the activity or disengagement theory. If they fit into these categories then they may deal with ageing in very different ways, they may wish to stay active or even disengaged due to depression or even due to the realisation of their own mortality as they get older. Depending on which theory the elderly may fit into, I can say for certain that they take very different approaches in terms of their thoughts and views on the ageing process.

This shows that women’s dietary intakes are much less than men’s. However, it is proven that women are more than likely to visit their doctors for health problems whereas men are proven to rarely visit te doctors. In relation to this, there are more women that won’t visit there local gp fi the person is male. One of the major problems we hold in our society today is that women’s health is advertised more than men’s health, For example, you are more than likely to an advert on the TV for ‘Check your Breasts’ rather than men’s adverts trying to convince men to go to the doctors to be checked for prostate cancer.

It is shown that the higher level of education the higher level of income. So with the basic stats of entry level education being less, the lack of opportunity based on income and the lack of support for minorities to receive the same educational realities as the white class it stands to reason that this a major component to the disparity in classes and race. In addition to the disparity in class and race there is a disparity to class and gender. Women are paid less than men. The majority of single parent families are supported by women.
Numerous theoretical models illustrate the importance of the treatment process for abnormal psychology. The psychosocial model relates to internal conflicts as between the conscious and unconscious mind as the individual responds to environmental stimuli. This aspect model focuses on relationships, social status, memories, and peer group environments (Hansell & Damour, 2008). Contributions of physical and biochemical functions relates to the biological or medical model and how the human body reacts and influences mental illness and dysfunctions. The focus of this model concerns the brain and functions and abnormal behaviors and unobservable deviant thought processes (Hansell & Damour, 2008).

In fact, before the establishment of the disability movement, disabled people were placed at the edge of community life rather than in the main flow.
This report gave a detailed look into official statistics revealing the clear line of inequalities that ran from the richest to the poorest in society. The fundamental finding of the report was that the death rate of those men in social class V was twice of the men in social class I. Additionally, individuals in lower classes were experiencing worse health than in the 1950s, giving proof that the improved living conditions of the working class had not made much of a difference to their health status. Furthermore, it was found that the manual classes made less use of the healthcare system available to them, despite needing it far more. There is research to suggest there is a link between socio-economic status and the use of health care systems. A study into the attendance at antenatal clinics of various social classes found a link between social inequality and attendance; the women from poorer classes were found to have fewer visits (Rowe & Garcia, 2003).
The medical model of dementia can create dependency, restricts choice, disempower, devaluates, reinforces stereo types and can be thought of as oppressive. This is because the medical model only focuses on the impairment that has to be cured. 2. The social model of dementia is person centred care. It focuses on the rights of the individual, and in turn empowering the individual by promoting independence and giving choice by understanding what that particular individual can achieve
