Ameka, thank you for your discussion. I enjoyed how you addressed the three level of stress. It was very informative to be reminded of the three stages. The three stages correlate with how as clinicians we look for suicide assessment. Is the client appear to be in immediate danger, is the client demonstrating potential harm in the future, and lastly, does the client have a support system. Clients can find ways to mask their coping mechanisms by giggling as you mentioned. For example, I had a professor explain that she had a client that giggled during the entire therapy session. It was very annoying after awhile for the therapist to concentrate but once the therapist regrouped and addressed the nervous behavior they were able to address
Kelly McGonigal discusses the importance of viewing stress as positive, as opposed to negative, by detailing three specific studies and findings about stress. In the first study, it was discovered that people with a significant amount of stress had a higher mortality rate; however, this was only statistically significant if the subject viewed stress as harmful. If the overly-stressed subject didn’t view stress as harmful, they were actually at the lowest risk of dying, even compared to those with a minimal amount. Therefore, it is important to change a person’s perspective of stress. In particular, McGonigal emphasizes that stress is important for a person’s body: it energizes and prepares them to meet whatever challenge they are facing. Furthermore, it helps the blood vessels remain relaxed, thereby allowing the heart to remain healthy.
When it comes to understanding the third political system that was introduced by James Madison (republican government), a mix between federal and national, we first have to look at what the foundation establishment is, where the sources get their powers, the operations of those powers, the extent of those powers; and who has the authority to make future changes. In Federalist 39, James Madison discussed the answers to those questions. He states, “in its foundation it is federal not national; in the sources in which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal and partly national; in the operations of these power, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and, finally in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly
You must try to change the situation or change your reaction to the situation. At times stress can be avoided. You must know your limits and stick to them. You must try to avoid people who stress you out. You must look at your daily work and decide between the “should” and the “must”. If you can’t avoid a stressful situation you would change things to avoid the problem in the future. You must focus on the positive things in life more than negative because by keep thinking about the negative things u will be more stressed. You must share your feelings with others and learn to forgive. You must also make time for fun activates and relaxation.
Vulnerable adults may subconsciously signal that all is not well by use of attention-seeking behaviour. Talking about suicide and having suicidal thoughts can also reveal feelings of helplessness and being trapped with no way out. It important to look for patterns of behavioural change rather than focus on one indecent. For example, does a resident’s behaviour become more withdrawn when a particular member of staff is on duty?
Within Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, he addresses eight white clergymen who fill his desk with disagreements and criticism of his acts of attempting to abolish segregation. To give a better understanding to his audience he correlates his speech with religion, signifying himself to be similar to the Apostle Paul, while speaking up about the injustice being done in Birmingham. Martin Luther King Jr. speaks strongly about being unable to stand back and watch the disputes in Birmingham unravel. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly,” famously said by Martin Luther King Jr. bonds his idea during this speech that we are all affected by any type of injustice, small or large. Martin Luther King Jr. uses metaphors as a light of logic, first person point of view to add ethics with trustworthiness, and a tone of passion for the emotional aspect while addressing the clergymen.
There are a number of literary elements that successful authors creatively and effectively combine so as to demonstrate their style, technique, and knowledge of writing fundamentals. In the short stories, "The Lottery" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" written by Jackson and Poe respectively, the authors depend heavily upon the settings within each story to enhance or explore elements such as mood, atmosphere, conflict, and theme. Jackson's "The Lottery" takes place in small town middle America, while Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" presumably takes place in the countryside or suburbs of the eastern seaboard of America. The authors absolutely embody the physical location of each story with the sentiments and desires of the characters within the settings, from the overall geographical location, such as a town, to specific edifices such as the actual House of Usher as well as the path into the town square where the crowd gathers for the lottery. The paper demonstrates awareness of the authors' deliberate use of setting to contribute to other important aspects of the story and the writing. The paper references textual evidence for support. The successful emotional affect of "The Lottery" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" are contingent on the effective and detailed use of the settings to make prominent aspects of the works such as character and atmosphere.
When thinking about Evicted and the different chapters we have learned about in class, the first chapter that came to my mind as relating most to Evicted was the chapter Stress and Health. Many topics in that chapter appeared in the book and related to many of the problems that the characters were facing in Evicted. The characters in the book had stressors that affected them in their daily lives, which also caused many health problems in the long run.
During my nursing career, I have worked in many high stress areas (ex; labor and delivery, where not every outcome is great, medical surgical unit, where a lot of people would get diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and neurosurgical unit, where I took care of many young individuals affected by glioblasoma multiforme) where my patients were depressed (acute depression) due to their diagnosis and were not sure how to cope with their situation. I did have several suicidal patients, as well. Reflecting on this week’s readings, especially on Meghan’s pp presentations, I must admit that I have to learn more about different depression and suicide tools that are available. That is going to help me not only in my current practice but also in the future.
The status of our country in light of the President’s pending and future executive orders, ICIS, the overall economy; gas prices, housing, education, and taxes, and the civil state of our nation. I find these issues disconcerting.
There are many different broad definitions of stress and how to cope with it, known as stress management.
Throughout life stress is a common problem whether it’s at work, school or home. The many negative effects of stress in fact affect individuals differently varying from health issues to work performance. Therefore, all individuals have different views of stress and various ways of handling it or otherwise managing their stress. Stress is when any living thing feels endangered and its homeostasis is at risk (Varvogli & Darviri, 2011, p. 74). Ways of dealing with stress are efforts of cognitive, behavioral, and psychological nature that allows a person to manage stress. Although there are different causes of stress, there are also many techniques for relieving it. The following articles are intended for the reader to
I enjoyed reading your article it was enlightening. I concur that keeping in mind the end goal to completely comprehend our clients we should first speak with them while evaluating on the off chance that they have suicidal tendencies. While assessing individuals with suicidal ideation social workers must take a look at the individual biological and environmental components. Social workers must decide whether the client depression is mild to moderate or severe. Apparently, the more extreme the depression manifestations, the more probable the individual is in danger of suicide (Jacobson, 2014). Mild to moderate or servere—endless anguish that is less genuine than real melancholy—isn't viewed as a hazard factor for suicide. At the
Stress affects individuals differently with approximately one-third of adults decreasing their food intake and losing weight when faced with difficult circumstances, whereas the other two-thirds increase their food intake (reference). Indeed, almost 50% of US adults who were concerned with the amount of stress in their lives reported coping with food for relief, according to the American Psychological Association (reference). The type of foods that are overindulged-in typically have a high fat and sugar content. As such, these foods may be characterized as “comfort food” as they function to cheer people up and may make them “feel better” during periods of stress (reference).
Psychological and physical well-being and the overall quality of life are under a constant threat of stress and thus, psychological and medical sciences have long been concerned with studying stress response. Cox (1979) claimed that because of the poor understanding and defining it, the concept of stress tends to be rather elusive. The term, “stress”, commonly describes any physchological or physical alteration that deranges the organism’s homeostasis (or balance). This essay reviews some of the biological factors involved in stress and it has been organized in the following way. The paper begins by briefly introducing the concept of stress. It will then go on to discus and describe the automatic response (fight or flight reaction),
Stress is something everyone goes through no matter what age, gender or race you are. Stress is the experience of a perceived threat to one’s mental, physical or spiritual well-being, resulting from a series of physiological responses and adaptations. When people think of stress they think it’s a bad thing which isn’t true, some stress is just your body’s reaction to certain situations. At times it may seem like stress is taking over your body leaving you physically, emotionally and mentally hurt but what you can do is learn how to manage your stress to have a healthier and happy lifestyle. Stress management is learning to deal with your stress and take charge. There are three types of stresses which are eustress, distress and neustress.
