1.
Paraphrasing activity:
Quote from source (at least 5 sentences):
“Common mental disorders among older adults included anxiety, depression, and dementia. This group
of older adults faced ambivalence: They wished to have their psychological problems diagnosed and
treated. But once their diagnosis was confirmed, due to the stereotype that "people with mental
illnesses are freaks" (H1, H6), they had to face the challenge of not only gaining self-acceptance but also
gaining acceptance from their family, friends, and society.It became evident during interviews that older
adults were reluctant to hear words like "mental health" or "psychological treatment," and they equated
counseling with a mental health disorder. When asked if they have any mental health needs or used any
psychological services, they either were quite resistant to answer or would deny it, avoiding this matter
and exhibiting fear of being despised or labeled.” (Chen et al., 2023, p. 1074).
Paraphrase of the quote above (2-3 sentences):
The stereotypes associated with mental health disorders can prevent older adults from seeking the help
they require. Some of the older adults might choose not to reveal their need for mental health services
due to the fear of labeled freaks. (Chen et al., 2023).
2.
Integrating a short quote activity:
As Chen et al. (2023) state, “Counseling and psychological treatments have been tied to "freaks" and are
considered negative, which makes people reluctant to utilize these services” (p. 1082). Addressing the
mental health of older adults requires addressing the stigmatization that is associated with seeking help
for mental health disorders.
