It helped me to have a broader view in my field of competency and to find new ideas from people who shared their own.

The study of Social anxiety shows no clear causes for its variety of symptoms, but psychologists have been able to determined triggers and possible factors for its development. As psychologists continue to study social phobia, they have determined many possible causes. Since the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, psychologists have

Mental health services conducted on the Internet have been described as e-therapy, online counseling, e -mail therapy, Internet-based therapy, and similar terminology. Online therapy services may be provided as an adjunct to more traditional forms of mental health treatment, or may be initiated without any offline contact between the therapist and client. Currently, there are a variety of websites providing links and information regarding online therapy. As I was reading about benefits and risks in using internet as a source for

Social anxiety is a prevalent and common disorder amongst society. Social anxiety disorder is expressed as a fear in public and social situations for an individual (Kashdan, Farmer, Adams, Mcknight, Ferssizidis, Nezelf 2013). A person with social anxiety fears that a social appearance, outcome, or situation will lead a to negative response to their surrounding audience (Kashdan, Farmer, Adams, Mcknight, Ferssizidis, Nezelf 2013). However there are numerous treatments for social anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most efficacious treatments that a patient may receive (Hambrick, Weeks, Harb, & Heimberg, 2003. Cognitive behavioral therapy has numerous techniques that can be used on patients. The result of using cognitive

On December 26, 2017 an article made by Kaiser Health News was published on Newsela about how Social Media could have mental health benefits for people who use it. One day Anna, (Who asked to be Identified by a different name) broke up with her boyfriend at 1:30 a.m.. It was too late to call her therapist and too late to stop by her friend's house. She turned to Social Media to help her and asked  if there was anybody who she could call until she felt better. Almost immediately, she got support from her friends and they helped her feel better.

The two data sources that I’m going to be using is a Youtube video along with its comments. The issues that I will be looking at is what do correctional facilities do with inmates with mental health disorders and what do they do to prevent them from becoming a revolving door (Am J Psychiatry 2009.) Why this issue is so important to me is because of many reasons. I have personal experience in working with mental health from working with children with mental health diagnosis and working with adults with multiple mental health diagnosis. To me it was not hard to choose a topic because mental health services are not the top priority in the criminal justice system and around the entire country

For the Unit 9 Assignment I will be creating a fictitious case (client) within the concentration of Behavior Analysis. I will include client demographics, reasons for seeking out service, intervention or treatment goals for the client, a theory that can relate to the client’s case, methods of interventions, any cultural issues, and any use of contemporary technology that will be used. I decided to revolve my case study around social anxiety (or a social phobia). It will focus on how a person’s thoughts and beliefs can intensify an anxiety/phobia. If a person truly believes that he/she will not do well in a certain situation, those thoughts and feelings can turn that into a reality. It is up to the professionals to change these beliefs and negative emotions.

The video was very interesting from the standpoint that mental illness has such a strong stigma. Fear of mental illness is shared both with those seeking treatment and those in the community. Mental illness in America is estimated to cost one hundred thirteen billion dollars, due to lost productivity, illness, and social costs. Persons with schizophrenia on average have a twenty five year shorter lifespan than does who do not. One reason for a shorter lifespan is that medical insurance does not cover or is inadequate to treat those with mental illness. Some do not have any medical insurance at all. Mental illness in the United States cost an estimated one hundred and thirteen billion dollars due to lost productivity, illness, and social costs.

After watching the video this week, I learned that one of the signs of a child who may develop into a psychopath is their inability to make eye contact. As well as the inability to understand emotions, or to learn from their mistakes. The process to help them not become criminals, and reduce their psychopath tendencies would include a lot of time showing positive reinforcement to help them understand keeping eye contact and understanding emotions (Catalyst, 2012). I would try by making sure I spent time every day alone with the child who was showing signs. I would watch them to see what made them happy. This would most likely be the type of games or books they enjoyed reading. I would then reward them and make them feel happy in a safe

Among all anxiety problems, social anxiety disorder is most common anxiety issue and third most common problem in all mental complications (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Hofmann & Bogels, 2006). SAD is a mental disorder which has a tendency to become chronic and badly disturbs normal functions of life if not diagnosed and treated in time (Beesdo-Baum, et al., 2012; Garcia-Lopez, Piqueras, Diaz-Castela, & Ingles, 2008). It is also among the most prevailing mental disorders and is described in Criterion A of DSM-V as “Marked fear or anxiety about one or more social situations in which the individual is exposed to possible scrutiny by others. Examples include social interactions (e.g., having a conversation, meeting unfamiliar people), being observed (e.g., eating or drinking), and performing in front of others (e.g., giving a speech)” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). A specific amount of anxiety is always anticipated socially and helps an individual managing future threats (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). But having social anxiety means that anxiety is too much for normal functioning during social situations and often interferes with

Social Anxiety Disorder or social phobia, is the third largest mental health care problem in the world. (Stein, 2010) National statistical surveys carried out in 2002 in the United Kingdom suggest that the prevalence rates for social phobias among young people in the UK were around 4%. (National Statistics, 2002)

The Social anxiety Association classifies social anxiety as the fear of interacting with other and social situations. Social anxiety causes fear and anxiety in most if not all aspects of ones lives. Social anxiety is the fear of being negatively judge or evaluated by others. It is a chronic disease that it does not go away on its own, only direct cognitive-behavioral therapy can help people overcome their social anxiety. There are a few situations that can trigger social anxiety such as being introduced to

Social anxiety is “a feeling of discomfort, fear, or worry that is centered on our interactions with other people and involves a concern with being judged negatively, evaluated, or looked down upon by others” (Social Anxiety Support, 2014). Social anxiety can affect anyone. Individuals with social anxiety tend to prefer to keep to themselves because they are afraid others will judge them negatively and have a hard time interacting socially.
