1 Module Six wrap up Chapters fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen cover stress, lifestyle and health, psychological disorders, and therapy and treatment (Spielman et al., 2020). From this, the five concepts I picked include; 1. What is stress Stress is the body's reaction to any demand or challenge that breaks its usual balance (Peters et al., 2017). Various causes, including work stress, interpersonal challenges, or financial difficulties, can cause it. Personally, I have encountered stress at work during busy moments when deadlines were coming, resulting in emotions of pressure and anxiety. These stressful situations frequently increase awareness, heart rate, and difficulty concentrating. It is a reminder of the need to manage stress to maintain overall well-being efficiently. 2. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) PTSD is a psychological disorder that develops in certain people following a distressing incident (Ben‐Ezra et al., 2018). Intrusive recollections, nightmares, and hyperarousal symptoms distinguish it. While I haven't personally suffered from PTSD, I have known people who did after surviving a car accident or serving in the military. Witnessing their difficulties has highlighted the enormous impact that traumatic experiences may have on mental health and the importance of specialized therapy and support.
2 3. Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a long-term mental illness that affects a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (McCutcheon et al., 2020). It is distinguished by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. While I have not directly experienced schizophrenia, I have met people with it and watched their difficulties in maintaining everyday functioning and managing their symptoms. It emphasizes the necessity of compassionate care, access to proper treatment, and de-stigmatizing mental health attitudes. 4. Mental health treatment: past and present The concept investigates the historical development of mental health therapy. Historically, mental illnesses were frequently stigmatized, and treatment options were restricted. However, advances in knowledge and awareness have created various therapeutic techniques and drugs (Kutcher et al., 2016). I have seen the wonderful influence of therapy on people close to me, assisting them in coping with anxiety and sadness. This emphasizes the importance of continual research and innovation in mental health to give effective interventions and assistance to those in need. 5. Substance-related and addictive disorders: A special case
3 This concept focuses on the influence of substance misuse and addiction on mental health. Substance-related conditions entail the excessive use of drugs or alcohol, which causes physical and psychological suffering (Roozen & Smith, 2022). I've witnessed the negative impacts of substance misuse on people's lives, with some unable to break free from the cycle of addiction and enduring serious mental health issues. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive treatment options that address addiction and underlying mental health concerns, highlighting the importance of integrated care. Understanding these principles has given me insights into the complicated relationships between stress, lifestyle, psychological problems, and their treatment. Applying this knowledge to my personal life and the lives of others can help us better navigate stress, empathize with those who have psychological disorders, and seek appropriate support when needed, keeping in mind that mental health is just as important as physical health and asking for help is a sign of strength.
