Case Study Of The Self-Regulatory Model

People who are not depressed or have never come to contact with clinical depression, are more often than not inclined to judge someone who is clinically depressed and call them dramatic, self-indulgent, or even worse tell them that they are just “under the weather.” Diagnosed clinical depression is not something that one can just shrug off, in fact it’s a disease that will cause the mental health state of an individual to decrease. Though depression isn’t something one can physically see like the flu, depression causes the patient to feel the effects as if it were a physical disorder. These symptoms include but are not limited to, fatigue, muscle aches headaches, etc. Though sadness can also cause an individual to feel these symptoms, sadness is temporary. Whereas depression, lingers and tends to become part of the patient’s everyday life, like a best friend. Though everyone at some point in their lives will experience sadness, the underlying question of why some people experience sadness that leads into full on depression remains. The article titled “Sadness, Depression, and Avoidance Behavior” by Allan M. Leventhal, primarily discusses an explanation to why some individuals are more prone to depression and subsequently will become clinically depressed, and why others are not. Furthermore, the article offers a clear separation between sadness and depression.

Depression is a common and serious mood disorder. It’s more than just feeling down or sad in response to life’s struggles and setbacks, depression causes people to lose pleasure from daily life, can increase the risk of many health problems, and can even be serious enough to lead to suicide.

One of these symptoms must be depressed mood or loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities. Depression causes disruption to typical daily life such as inability to maintain friendships and jobs. Other symptoms outlined by the DSM-5 include; insomnia, fatigue and recurrent thoughts of death. There is much debate over what exactly causes depression. Biological explanations question hereditary and neurotransmitter factors.

This essay will focus on the ways in which psychological and biological explanations contrast and how their theories can overlap to better understand depression.

According to the research depression is an outcome of family, cultural, personal and social circumstances. The main causes of depression are the stress factors such as bereavement, abuse, the stress of divorce and sexual infidelity. Other kinds of stressors like isolation and ageing, health problems, stigma, cultural distance are the major difficulties faced by the people. The finding demonstrates the nature of an individual of understanding depression and different management strategies used in the primary care of the patients. The encouragement of the self-help in the step care models is recommended in the NICE guidelines of UK which may require more than blanket application of self-management tools and more systematic extracting of strategies which enable an individual to develop on their existing strengths and moving towards the recovery more effectively. The finding also reveals the depth of traumatic and violent experiences suffered by the women due to depression. Many women link their depressions with the heavy loss such as ill health, bereavement or job-related events. The approach of chronic disease management is becoming a widespread practice of controlling depressive disorders of how the patients respond to the approach in the primary care. The understanding of the symptoms is important to understand the recurrent depression that may be problematic and

The CSM depicts the behavior of patients as a product of a naturalistic decision-making based on their interpretation of a disease and its symptoms (Brissette, Leventhal, & Leventhal, 2003). The framework has been used to describe self-regulation behavior for a number of chronic conditions including hypertension (Kronish, Leventhal, & Horowitz, 2012), diabetes (Breland, McAndrew, Burns, Leventhal, & Leventhal,

People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life have felt depressed and unhappy at some time in their lives. These periods of sadness usually pass after a short time, but for some people, this feeling can remain for weeks, months, and even years. (1) This prolonged state of unhappiness is called major (or clinical) depression and is characterized by a persistent sad or "empty" mood, loss of interest in favorite activities, difficulty concentrating, and many other symptoms.

Many people also doesn’t understand what depression is, or how it can related to suicidal ideation. In fact, studies have documented that the majority of young suicide victims had depression at the time of death and most suicide survivors were diagnosed with symptoms of clinical depression at the time of their attempt (Mojs, Biederman, Głowacka, Strzelecki, Ziemska, Samborski 2015).

People who experience depression must find way to cope with depression and know how to get help in order to prevent suicidal ideation. The people surroundings, friends and family, must also find ways to recognize the symptoms of depression, and show understandings in order to help those suffering. This research project will help people understand more about

Maturation is especially important for individuals as it provides several competitive evolutionary advantages (Locke & Bogin, 2006). Through this process, individuals develop and acquire control over their emotions and behaviours. This ability to monitor and adapt our emotions, cognition and behaviours in accordance to the social and intellectual demands of particular contexts is often referred to as self-regulation (Demetriou, 2000; Zimmerman, 2000). Various complex cognitive skills are required for self-regulation. These skills encompass the constant observation of our thoughts and behaviours, knowledge of the demands of any situation, the capability to alter conditions of our current behaviour as required to achieve a goal or suit a situation and attention to how favourably the demands of a context are met (Evans & Rosenbaum, 2008).
