“People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder report that the anxiety that they experience cause substantial interference with their lives and they need a significant dosage of medications to control their symptoms.” (Gerow and Chatmon 2013, p. 258). To try and help Mr. Hudson with his disorder I’m going to try two methods of treatment. The first method would be a psychoactive drug therapy. I will have him try an antianxiety drug called Equanil, a muscle relaxant for his extreme muscle tension. According to Gerow and Chatmon, “When muscular tension is reduced, a person usually reports feeling calm and at ease” (p. 281).
Addiction has severe negative consequences affecting the addict’s mental and physical well being. Addiction also has numerous allegations for the health of the public, because of substance abuse, addiction is now a major donor to many serious diseases and it can also result in violent behaviors. This article supports my stand point that addiction is a mental illness rather than a bad behavior and creates a solid argument on how addiction takes over the addict’s brain and is the main source of inappropriate behaviors. I can use these examples as reasons why I believe addiction is a chronic brain disease instead of a bad behavior in my research
Because of this, my interpretation of the FACS banding showed that he had substantial needs. Sam’s epilepsy is a threat to his independence as his seizures impinges on inclusion, health and safety, personal daily routines and his relationships, WCC (2011). I realised that I had the power to help make a decision through my personal thoughts, observation and the information that I provided on the FWi professional assessment case notes. I could empathise with Sam’s plight, as a learning professional, Banks (2006), I had the ability to perceive Sam’s situation as not just his ‘wants’ but what he ‘needed’ within a moral significance. However establishing Sam’s need may not be enough to support him, I realised that ‘power’ is also about knowing what resources he is entitled too, and what would, or could be available to him, Banks
The long time experience that he has, is brought out in this book as he seeks to explain the act in depth. The book explains the fears and confusion created by the people that are not fully aware what the act entails. The book is very helpful to anybody who has only been listening to the media about the Health Care Act. It gives a deep coverage of the issue and separates the facts from the myths. The book is important to the research as it gives the details about the act and its implementation process.
Unit 8 – M1, M2 & D1 – M1 – Analyse the contribution of these different psychological perspectives to the understanding and management of challenging behaviour – The Biological Approach – This approach aims to explain all behaviour and experience in terms of how the body processes. When you feel stressed this usually involves several sensations such as your heart pounding and your palms sweating, these are physical symptoms created by the nervous system reacting. Your experiences, such as stress are caused by a biological process. The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system which is further subdivided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. The central nervous system the brain and spinal cord contain about 12 billion nerve cells/neurons.
Because electrolytes play an important role in homeostasis, the danger of dehydration and an electrolyte balance is life threatening. If the potassium or sodium levels are too high or low, it can interfere with the electrical activity within the heart causing it to have abnormal rhythms or a myocardial infarction. Low blood pressure, confusion, disorientation and renal failure can all be dangerous when there are dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

COMPARTMENT SYNDROME 1 Compartment Syndrome Shannin Daniels ENGL 135 Professor Erikson August 18, 2010 COMPARTMENT 2 Compartment syndrome is a devastating side effect of orthopedic injuries, crush injuries and trauma. The injury at the cellular level is amazing. What the muscle goes through following one of these injuries is complex. Having a diagnosis quickly can mean the difference between surgery to relieve pressure to amputation. The trauma of surgery followed by probable skin grafting can be devastating also.
Describing and evaluating research into the relationship between stress and the immune system Hans Selye (1956) provided the first systematic attempt to describe the body's response to stress and his theory alerted the world of medicine to a link between stress and illness; this theory is the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S) which describes the body’s reaction to stress as an immediate alarm followed by resistance to the stress followed by exhaustion once the body's resources become depleted. Thus summed up, Selye states that the body handles stress through Alarm-Resistance-exhaustion. This means that stress can cause illness through immunosuppression. His inspiration for G.A.S came from an endocrinological experiment in which he injected mice with extracts of various organs. He at first believed he had discovered a new hormone, but was proved wrong when every irritating substance he injected produced the same symptoms (for example, swelling of the adrenal cortex).
Ishmael teaches through stories about Takers and Leavers. Takers are “civilized” and Leavers are “primitive.” The author also used history and religion to get across many of his thought-provoking ideas. I learned a great amount of material from this well-written novel. This novel taught some important things. One of these is how human civilization is destroying the world.
C2006). In research, postpartum depression has shown that there is a possibility of genetic links in the etiology of mood and anxiety disorders. So this means an area of information is needed to be gathered from the family history. Mostly when family history is gathered, it is because medical professions are looking for genetic links to heart disease, diabetes, and or cancer. Psychiatric disorders dare quickly brushed over.
