· brain defects or injury: Defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain have also been linked to some mental illnesses. · prenatal damage: Some evidence suggests that a disruption of early fetal brain development or trauma that occurs at the time of birth -- for example, loss of oxygen to the brain -- may be a factor in the development of certain conditions, such as autism. · substance abuse: Long-term substance abuse, in particular, has been linked to anxiety, depression, and paranoia. · other factors: Poor nutrition[->1] and exposure to toxins, such as lead, may play a role in the development of mental illnesses.

Some kids with special needs do not feel pain so to spank them would be pointless. When the child does not respond to the pain from the spanking the adult may get frustrated and the spanking may turn into anger and it can turn bad fast. Some children do things but can’t help it. No matter how many times you spank them you can’t stop them from doing it as they do not know they are doing because it is part of the
Many people are suffering from Post –Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There are some symptoms that occur with PTSD. For example, someone diagnosed with PTSD could remember horrific scenes from the battle field. They also might act out violently from the scenes they see in their minds. There are many reasons why some people suffer from PTSD.
If your child wants to protect themselves whether it’s from getting pregnant or whatever it may be, why stop them. They are being responsible for their own actions and body. In conclusion, if a teen feels mature enough about making the decision to have sex they should be mature enough to be safe and responsible about it. Teens don’t feel comfortable asking their parents for these types of things so I think it’s good for birth control to be accessed without parent consent. It won’t only help to protect the teens, but it will help other heath issues to.
Mood disorders are thought to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Traumatic events can also cause a person to become depressed.

Next, one has to understand that the fear is going to be buried in the unconscious known as the “shadow”. This is known as the psyche’s emotional defense mechanism. For example, as a result of the abuse, the child unconsciously dispelled the negative emotions incorporated with the abuse into the depths of his unconscious. Furthermore, if the memory has not been dealt with properly, the shadow will “malfunction” and positive character traits will be placed in the shadow known as the “golden shadow”. For example, when the child was abused, he did not get a chance to deal with his emotions; this caused the child to subconsciously hide his ability to trust in the shadow.
I have learned that it’s not good to withdraw from activities and people and that it’s much better to be open about your feeling because there is always someone that is willing to listen to you and help. The second chapter is about coping with divorce and separation of parents. People also react differently to divorce and separation. Some feel that it’s not fair to them because they may be used as a tool to get back at the other parent or be used as a messenger because the parents don’t want to talk face to face. It may also leave someone feeling torn between parents because they don’t want to pick one over the other.
Mental Illness A Vulnerable Population Cynthia Francisco, RN NUR/440 April 28, 2011 Betty Jones, RN, MSN Mental Illness A Vulnerable Population Mental Illness Mental illness is a set of mental disorders that affect the cognitive and social function of a person. According to the Surgeon General (n.d.), “Mental disorders are characterized by abnormalities in cognition, emotion or mood, or the highest integrative aspects of behavior, such as social interactions or planning of future activities.” Mental illness involves disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, post- traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety, to name a few.

They are looked down on by society and viewed as unproductive members of society.
Final Product #2 By banning books, it creates a negative effect on kids and adults and possibly even eliminate the teachings of life lessons for students. Going through life without the knowledge of what else is out there besides “good” in people can be harsh for some people especially for kids. Kids would not be able to handle life too well in the real world, if the whole time when they were younger they were being protected from all the "bad things" and “bad people.” Many people decide to do what they think is best for the safety of children, but in reality when kids grow up to be adults sometimes it harms them in more ways than helping them. Books shouldn't be banned from society, but some books do have suggestive content or profanity. When the so-called “negative parts” of the books remain, kids gain knowledge of what is and what is not good to do, say, or act.
If a child is afraid to go home that could be a strong sign that the child will be abused there. Neglect can also be somewhat easier to identify, if a child's attire is dirty, or does not fit properly can be signs the parents are not paying attention to the way they dress. If the child is constantly displaying poor hygiene, or appears to be experiencing malnutrition, these could also be signs of neglect.

A child that has trouble sitting or walking may have just recently experience sexual abuse as
