Discriminatory practices are very influential on the people that use health and social care services; I will explain these effects and give examples. (1) Marginalisation is when you feel like you are not liked within a group or in other words you don’t feel like you are a part of a group or society.In health and social care everyone should be treated equal and marginalisation is not allowed. An example of this is a youth worker excluding a homosexual teenager based on his sexuality. (1) Disempowerment is to make someone feel devalued this could happen to either an individual or groups. The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
And on the interactional level, medical professionals diagnose and provide treatments. During the 1970's, the term medicalization crept into the social scientific literature. It has come to have more subtle meanings. A number of case studies of the medicialization of deviance were published in the 70's on hyperactivity in children, mental illnesses, child abuse, and alcoholism as a disease. Medicalization of deviance takes the actions that are considered socially deviant and classifies them as a sickness.

Fixing our Nation’s Healthcare One of the main problems are country is facing right now is what we can do to help heighten are healthcare, especially in Georgia. Healthcare is the treatment and management of illness, and the defense of health through services offered by the medical, dental, and other health professions. Some people are finding it harder and harder to get treated whether it’s money or insurance. Insurance premiums increased 73 % between 2000 and 2005 and per capita costs are expected to keep rising.

Such therapies became widely used because doctors and nurses wanted to offer patients cutting-edge treatment. ECT and lobotomy, however, reinforced an old and persistent image of asylums as intimidating places of last resort. Many mental hospitals closed in the 1970s and 1980s. This was due to pressure from the antipsychiatry movement, feminist criticism, ex-patient activism and political suspicion of large, unaccountable institutions. Other mental hospitals were converted to ‘short-stay’ treatment centres - a policy enabled by new psychiatric drugs.
The male persistently ejaculates with minimal sexual stimulation and too rapidly to permit his partner or himself to enjoy sexual relations fully (University of phoenix, 2009). Health can play a role in sexual dysfunctions. Lack of desire, can be due to diabetes or deficient levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, the hormone that plays a key role in activating sexual drive in both men and women (University of phoenix, 2009). Depressants such as alcohol, narcotics, and tranquilizers can also impair sexual response and lack of sexual drive or interest is often connected with mental health problems, especially depression (University of phoenix, 2009). There are many more causes of sexual dysfunctions that consist of cultural differences, religious beliefs, and the most common, health problems or the medications taken from these problems.
Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology When distinguishing between normal and abnormal behavior, what appears to be abnormal behavior to some people may be normal by others. Psychopathology is also another term used to describe abnormal psychology. Feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are distinguishing factors to consider in assessing mental health behaviors.

Over time, these physical effects become both a mental and an emotional burden, leading men with penis size problems to live life that’s not happy and
The term is a vulgar insult and is usually associated with lack of masculinity. Loss of respect among this group of males is also associated with being “pussywhipped”. What I find troubling about this word is that no vulgar equivalent for a relationship where the man is dominant over the woman exists. According to my group of male friends, “It’s because that’s how it’s supposed to be. You don’t need a special word for it.” The existence of this word and the lack of a female counterpart reflect the perception of women in the culture of male college freshmen.
Examples of not being healthy includes lack of energy, not coping with life, having a serious illness and being in bed/hospital. Why do sociologists believe that health and illness are social constructions?
