Using The Biopsychosocial Model

Communities are sometimes largely unaware that social factors rather than medical ones, such as income, and employment status, shape our health. Our health is also determined by the health and social services we receive, and our ability to attain high education levels, food and safe housing, among other factors.

1.1 Describe the main types of mental ill health according to the psychiatric (DSM/ICD) classification system: mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance-related disorders, eating disorders, cognitive disorders? • Mood disorders: disturbance in the persons mood is hypothesized, this means a person’s mood can change instantly • Personality disorders: is when someone

The Alzheimer’s Disease A biopsychosocial model is a deep interrelation of all of this three-factor such as biological factors(genetic and physical history), psychological factors (cognition, will, and emotions), and social factors (socioeconomic status, culture, religion, and technology). When a combination of all of this three-factor working together, it will lead to an outcome of an illness, however, each of this factors on its own is very insufficient to lead to an

A persons health status is determined by the range of personal, social, economic and environmental factors (Healthy People , 2016). The determinants of health build upon each other, Dahlgren and Whitehead (1991) created the ‘rainbow’ model of health. This looks at the determinants of health in a bigger

Dahlgren and Whitehead’s (1991) model on the determinants of health is also often referred to as the ‘rainbow model.’ The model aims to identify the various factors that can influence a person’s health status (Hunter, Marks & Smith, 2010). Porta (as cited in Thurston, 2014), defined a determinant of health as

Hi, Marica the mind maps are vibrant and colorful. Based on your video description your essay selection are altogether different from one another. However, the subject matter varied in content and emphasis may allow for expansive data collection and research. However, many of the subjects often overlap when one asked the right questions and narrowed the focus to a particular problem. The positive is you have found links to thread the pieces together. Although they maybe small links as you move forward I believe it will naturally take shape for you. You did an excellent job on the mapping; it helped inspire my mapping process. Perhaps during your research, you may search with keywords to relate to all three essays to find more links to your

Hi Paul: The other day, I had a discussion with both Marjane and Jim concerning Dr. Lewis' email about working on the psychology mapping for the guided pathway efforts. Without going into speculations about her motives, I think it is important that we are prepared to develop a BHS map program for the guided pathway efforts.

In order for this assignment to be written, a visualisation was produced as part of the process. The idea behind this was to create a strong focus on one particular aspect of a mental health issue which would then allow a question

Artifact Description: Map of You—Use tools in Inspiration9 Software to create a mind map with myself as the main idea.

The core argument of this book points back to individual autonomy, a sense of control over the lifestyle one chooses to live. Marmot believes this to be as big of a factor as financial circumstances. He states that “The circumstances in which we live—that foster autonomy and control over life, love, happiness, social connectedness, riches that are not measured by money—affect illness” (Marmot, 14). Inequalities in health present themselves because such benefits of life are disbursed unequally throughout society. From a public health perspective, the term health is defined as the complete mental, physical, and social well- being of an individual and not merely the absence of disease. However, to the average individual, health is mostly associated with the physical well- being of a person rather than any other aspect mentioned. Marmot also notes that “The lower in hierarchy you are, the less likely it is that you will have full control over your life and opportunities for full social participation," (page 23). This implies that individual autonomy and one’s social participation, or lack thereof, may lead to deterioration in health. In no way does this divert attention from things such as genetics and medical care as essentials to health; rather, this places emphasis on circumstances in which people live and/or work as other major influences of health. For example, someone with a formal education and a wealthy upbringing will most likely experience a longer life with better health as opposed to someone without education and a high income. Even with this information, it is still difficult to conclude whether education would lead to great health for all. If you place education on the backburner and put income on center stage, you may notice that the findings are almost identical: low income

"Distortions of mind perception in psychopathology" is a study based on the research of Gray, Jenkins, Heberlein, and Wegner. The purpose of their research was to discover and investigate the existence of a correlation between perceptions of mind and three disorders that have been associated to abnormal social function: autism-spectrum

State which concept it has helped you with The mind map has helped me gain further understanding of the ‘Organ System’. Discuss how it has helped you gain a better understanding of the concept The way in which this mind map has assisted me to obtain a greater understanding of the concept is by the visual image of the tree branch form. It identifies organ structures that is included in one system but may also be included in another. For example, the testes and ovaries produce hormones and are therefore part of the endocrine system; however, these same

1. The BioPsychoSociol model is important because it integrates biological, psychological and sociology factors to help us understand human functions and explain why human beings do certain behaviors/illnesses.

When Social Issue Affects One’s Health “Healthy individuals cannot survive when society is sick.” On the other hand, aspects of social structure influence health and illness. Social factors not only affect life expectancy, but the possibilities the one will experience diseases and in turn, the health care that they will receive.

The mind is about mental processes, thought and consciousness. The body is about the physical aspects of the brain-neurons and how the brain is structured. Throughout time our ancestors have exemplified the aspect of mind over matter. An example being the Egyptians turning stone into large cut blocks which they used to build the pyramids. The mind is a powerhouse that lets one have the ability to discriminate and reason. In todays society there is an entire career field to go into that deals with mental stability. The reason being is that without mental stability our ability to reason is damaged and our lives are thrown off balance. This will lead to mistakes made in everyday life. Exercise and nutrition have now been scientifically proven to help combat against the three main mental imbalances of stress, depression, and anxiety disorders. Depression stress and anxiety are no joke, as they can kill you!
