Psychiatric Conditions: Bias and Shame<\/h2>\n

Read articles by Clark, et al. (2013) and Cummins (2013). It is highly recommended that you also watch one or two of the videos on mental illness from the TED playlist, All kinds of minds (9 talks),<\/a>\u00a0as these provide valuable insights into a variety of disorders and the issues associated with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For this discussion, refer to the information in the \u201cIntroduction to the Miller Family document<\/a>.\u201d Lucy Miller is a 20-year-old college student who has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.\u00a0 Sarah Miller, her mother, recalls that as a teen, Lucy would get very talkative at night and couldn\u2019t go to sleep.\u00a0 Sarah also recalled that Lucy was kicked off the cheerleading squad when her GPA fell below 3.0, and that during this time, Lucy\u2019s friends were being mean to her. When this occurred, Lucy was \u201creally down\u201d for a couple of months.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t want to talk to a counselor and she told her mother Sarah that she would be fine. Lucy blamed the entire situation on the issues with the girls in her class. However, coping with the mood swings became increasingly difficult for her. Lucy began experimenting casually with illegal drugs and found that they helped. Unfortunately, she kept getting them from friends at school and has now become addicted to them.<\/p>\n

Examine the potential biological basis for Lucy\u2019s psychological disorder. What, if anything, in her family history might point to this issue being hereditary?\u00a0 Be sure to apply basic medical terminology where appropriate. Consider the biases that are often held regarding mental illness.\u00a0 How much volition is involved in mental illness?\u00a0 How much is related to environment and genetics?\u00a0 Do we think about mental illness differently when we know the person well versus if the person is a stranger (e.g., a homeless individual or a panhandler on the street)?\u00a0 Analyze the impact that our stage of lifespan development has on how we think of our own mental health and the mental health of others. What impact does it have on our associated behaviors and the long-term outcomes associated with the disorder?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Discussion 2<\/p>\n

Read \u201cRecovering Health Through Cultural Traditions\u201d by Krohn (2013).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Refer to the information in the\u00a0\u201cIntroduction to the Miller Family\u201d<\/a> document. For this discussion, choose one of the following family members currently experiencing issues with substance abuse and complete the discussion according to the instructions below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Option 1:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Lucy Miller \u2013 As we learned in Discussion 1 this week, this 20-year-old college student has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. As a coping mechanism for her wild mood changes, Lucy began experimenting with illegal drugs while still in high school and has now become addicted to them.
Option 2:<\/strong> Lucy\u2019s younger brother, Josh, was recently discovered using marijuana.\u00a0 His response to his parents when confronted was, \u201cIt\u2019s just an herb!\u00a0 Grandma Ella says as long as it is natural, it is good.\u201d\u00a0 In truth, Grandma Ella hasn\u2019t said anything about marijuana and does not know that Josh has been using it.
Option 3:<\/strong> Sam Miller, Lucy and Josh\u2019s uncle, is an alcoholic. He is 50 years old, divorced, and estranged from both his ex-wife and their only son. He\u2019s had no contact with either of them for many years. Sam has a long history of work and legal problems related to drinking.\u00a0 The family sees him as a \u201closer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After choosing one of the people above, analyze the biology of substance abuse and describe its potential for dependence in certain families and the outcomes of various behaviors.\u00a0 Is it likely that Lucy, Josh, or Sam had a genetic predisposition to alcohol or substance addition? How does lifespan development make a difference in propensity to abuse substances?\u00a0 How does the stage of life at which the abuse begins impact the user\u2019s behaviors? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
