Eng 190: Research & Persuasion March 18, 2024 Project Part One: Collecting Sources
The purpose for researching mental health and Covid-19. The reason I chose this is because I have a remarkably close relationship with my grandfather who is a World War I veteran and of course my five children. I watched the six people I love the most start to change mentally, physically, and emotionally and must learn how to cope, while finding doctors to get answers and help, if needed then medicine, results from the covid-19 pandemic. The dire consequences of the global pandemic are problems\issues\illnesses that we have learned that will
never be something one can escape from, let alone forget about. The devastating effects of Covid-19, starting from physical symptoms all the way to economic drawbacks, have made worldwide headlines, day after day, week after week, and for countless months that feel like a century. All over the world, even under the ruthless and sinister news, everyone was warned that the coronavirus presents yet another threat that health care professionals could not overlook or just turn a shoulder to. The Covid-19 pandemic held huge beginnings to the mental health crisis that called out for substantial investments in supporting\supportive services for mental health. The reason that I am interested in this topic is because of the personal encounters and the things that my papaw, a veteran, and my children, us of which in elementary school and the other in his sophomore year of junior high school, that all were impacted in so many ways, mostly mental health consequences, that we will deal with till then end of their lives. This is why I am interested and doing this research and why i want the answer to the questions in which I have in mind on this specific topic. My revised research question is: Due to the repercussions and over all aftermath of the Covid-19 how were people, focusing on this about students and veterans specifically, impacted, pained, and distressed? Alongside, what resources or things to spread awareness were created, revised, or given easier accessible for the ones who needed them? My optimistic answer to my research question(s), based on my research, Covid did not only affect our physical health; it also increased psychological suffering: grief at the loss of loved ones, restrictions and on movement, shock due to the loss of jobs, fear and uncertainty for the coming days and future, and more intense family dynamics. At a time when our students need and require more support than ever, states governments must create and start programs that will help and support students, families, and schools. Cross-agency collaboration, state-wide task
force, expanding medical services to implicate school-based services, rising investments in school-based providers of mental health, and advancing resources and even program's that improve school's culture. States can start to acknowledge and create positive changes that resolve
this worldwide crisis. Investment like this will start long lasting effect that will\can not only convey mantal health of students, but will also lessen violence in the school, while also making student achievements escalate, and will make improved work environments for the staff that work in and for the schools of our children and youth.
Interagency Task Force on Military and Veteran Mental Health is a joint\combined collaboration across the DOD (Dept. of Defense), the VA (Veterans Affairs), and HHS (health and human services). This joint effort works to make sure that veterans, other service members, and each of their families and loved one have easily accessible mental health services and other kinds of support that is needed individually or as a family to help lessen their mental issues or as a family learn how to deal and grow with the changes to their loved ones mental or psychical state and health. The ones who continue to go on experiencing persistent\long term consequences, impacts that typically will last a lifetime, are the people who will forever wear\
bear the scars of the Covid-19 pandemic. In comparison to those that
DID NOT contact Covid-
19, the ones that DID contract COVID bunch\bracket all had a 60% higher likelihood of possessing any mental health issues\illnesses or prescriptions that are mental health correlated. Results by the diverse types of issues that are mental health related prescriptions. Results, by the diverse types of issue that are mental health related were:
Non-opioid substance using disorders: 20% higher risk
Opioid using disorders: 34% higher risk
Opioid use: 76% higher risk
Sleep disorder: 41% higher risk
Anxiety: 35% higher risk (people that did contract covid)
Depression: 39% higher risk
Researchers say\said that the reasons for the higher risks that were\are mental health related after
COVID is still not clear and factually answered. Biologic reformed differences can\might happen
or take place in one's body that impact their brain, and the nonbiologic differences or things changed, like trauma and social distancing\isolating might also be a part\play a part. Writers and pros say the substantial number of individuals who had and survived Covid, the results on mental
health and cardiovascular could convert into an enormous impact worldwide. Before the pandemic, patients had to be seen by a doctor once face-to-
face\in person before they were allowed to get a prescription refilled for controled substances by meeting with the doctor or other necessary proffesionals via telemedicine.Although, the pandemic widened the regulations\expectations\rules and also the allowed patients to get scripts for
these specific drugs without seeing a medical provider in-person before hand.The difference in the getting to experience getting\receiving a script for, let say for medical abortion, at your comfort zone in ones very own home
via telemedicine in comparison to one having to visit an in-person program\
place\clinic for any scripts for ‘drugs’\medicine. The three sources that I chose all are very lengthy, detailed, and also supportive of my chosen topic. They all three helped in helping me better understand the impacts and changes that Covid-19 itself, alongside the pandemic alone, had on America, Americans, United States, and all over the world. These source also helped to answer my research question as well. Today, and now I have a better understand of how students and veterans were influenced and changed because of the pandemic. These chosed sources are all different types of the possible biases. The first source appears
to be unbiased and states researched evidence while at the same time admitting that mental health could be affected\influenced by other things besides Covid-19. Sources:
