Mental Disorder
Project In Health Submitted by: Rochel Marie Jaranilla 4th- Jade Submitted to: Ms. Amarro Health & PE Teacher Aà mental disorderà orà mental illnessà is aà psychologicalà pattern, potentially reflected in behavior, that is generally associated withà distressà orà disability, and which is not considered part ofà normalà developmentà of a person'sà culture. Mental disorders are generally defined by a combination of how a personà feels,à acts,à thinksà orà perceives. This may be associated with particular regions or functions of theà brainà or rest of theà nervous system, often in aà social context.The recognition and understanding ofà mental healthà conditions have changed over time and across cultures and there are still variations in definition, assessment andà classification, although standard guideline criteria are widely used. In many cases, there appears to be aà continuumà between mental health and mental illness, making diag nosis complex. According to theà World Health Organisationà (WHO), over a third of people in most countries report problems at some time in their life which meet criteria for diagnosis of one or more of the common types of mental disorder.Theà causes of mental disordersà are varied and in some cases unclear, and theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields. Servicesà are based inà psychiatric hospitalsà or in theà community, and assessments are carried out byà psychiatrists,à clinical psychologistsandà clinical social workers, using various methods but often relying on observation and questioning. Clinical treatments are provided by variousà mental health professionals. Psychotherapyà andà psychiatric medicationà are two major treatment options, as areà socialà interventions,à peer supportà andà self-help.In a minority of cases there might beà involuntary detentionà orà involuntary treatment, where legislation allows. Stigmaà andà discriminationà can add to the suffering and disability associated with mental disorders (or with being diagnosed or judged as having a mental disorder), leading to variousà social movementsà attempting to increase understanding and challengeà social exclusion. Prevention is now appearing in some mental health strategies. ConclusionStigma is both a proximate and a distal cause of employment inequity for people with a mental disability who experience direct discrimination because of prejudicial attitudes from employers and workmates and indirect discrimination owing to historical patterns of disadvantage, structural disincentives against competitive employment and generalized policy neglect. Against this background, modern mental health rehabilitation models and legislative philosophies, which focus on citizenship rights and full social participation, are to be welcomed.Yet, recent findings demonstrate that the legislation remains vulnerable to the very prejudicial attitudes they are intended to abate. Research conducted during the past year continues to highlight the multiple attitudinal and structural barriers that prevent people with mental disabilities from becoming active participants in the competitive labour market.
