What
is Depression? Depression is a mental
health problem that gives you a feeling of sadness whether you have a reason to
be sad or not. Disabilities and health problems can happen at any time of a
person’s live very often depending what kind of disabilities and health
problems they are. Not everything is down to disabilities and health problems.
Disabilities and health problems can make people very much misunderstood. We
all have faults whether we have disabilities and health problems or not. With
the right support people with disabilities and health problems can get by.
I must warn you that Anxiety and Depression can be
two confusing health problems even for the people who suffer from the health
problems themselves. It’s confusing because can affect people in different ways
each and every day. What you see in the person may not be happening behind
closed doors cause doors because the person’s moods can change. What makes more
confusing is that it can affect different people in different ways. For example
someone else who suffers from Anxiety and Depression can tell you something
different to what I tell you I face with my Anxiety and Depression. Depression
is a feeling of sadness and Anxiety is a feeling of anger whether the person
has a reason to feel that way or not.
Disabilities and other health problems can vary
like Anxiety and Depression varies.
People don’t have to be suffering from disabilities and other health
problems to suffer from Anxiety and Depression. This can all vary to how a person feels and
what they face in life. This can depend on how people live their lives, how
others treat them and how they treat others, how they look after themselves,
how much support they do get to look after themselves can make a difference to
how they manage their Anxiety and Depression.
Back in February it was Mental Health mouth or week
but awareness of mental health needs to be raised all year round.
A lot of people with depression are likely to take
longer to get over things than other people depending on the person and
probably depending on the kind of depression the person suffers from. For
example they may find it hard to come to terms with a broken relationship or a
death of someone they know.
What makes depression hard to understand for other
person is when a person is sad for no reason. This is when a person with
depression can be misunderstood. To be there’s no answer to why this is other
than it being part of the person’s mental health problem, mainly if the person
does have disabilities and other health problems. Just because you may not see
a person look sad all the time, it doesn’t mean they don’t feel sad, they are
just managing their health problems and getting with life the best they can,
which is not easy for people who suffer from depression and it doesn’t
necessary mean they feel sad all the time either. Many people with Depression
have even ended up in comedy work by making people laugh, such famous people as
Robin Williams. The world is not all black and white; people with depression
don’t want people to feel sorry for us. In fact many people hate putting on
others and there’s probably too much coping alone on things they can’t really
cope but do anyway. It can be very worrying with these cuts going on and people
get use to not getting help they need to how many people who is finding life
hard that others don’t know about.
Depression can affect people in different ways
depending on the kind of Depression and the person themselves. Some people
sleep too much and others sleep too little, some eat too much others eat too
little. Many have confidence, self –esteem or get up and go. Some can’t seem to
stop. If Anxiety is added on the mind is non – stop thinking whether a person
has a lot to worry about or not. Most of the time people worry too much and
things can seem worse than what they really are.
Not everyone with Depression dies young but having
Depression can make it hard to cope with everyday life to a point you think
you’re not going to cope but most of us do. Depression isn’t only a fight with
your mind but your body which is the same with Anxiety. Everyday can vary and
also every person can vary. Just except anything off anyone.
Disabilities,
health problems and stress.
You are not responsible to everything what happens
in a patient’s life but then when it affects a person’s life and no other
professional can do anything about it like the GPs, you could be that person’s
last result of life if things have just got impossible for them. Nothing is
surprising now with a lot of these services cutting back and people not getting
help they need. People having their
benefits cut and this bedroom tax stress going on.
These people are likely to be affected emotionally
mainly if they are eating less or not at all due to the benefit cuts. The food
banks can only provide so much therefore a lot of the food isn’t likely to be
enough for them to have proper meals so it’s very important that their health
is checked. It’s very unlikely people who have had their benefits cut are
overweight, they are likely to be underweight unless they have managed to get
money off someone or somewhere, which they could find it hard to pay back if
they lose their appeal or they don’t get enough money to pay back if they win.
It’s mostly the worry about owing money that gives people thoughts about taking
their own live and sadly many people manage it because the stress is just too
much for them. Most people have been known to take an overdose. It’s even worse
when they can’t access counselling when they don’t have any benefits or any
other money to pay for it. The world is not all black and white some people do
pull through even though it doesn’t seem like it to them to start with but
others aren’t so lucky.
It’s
possible they may be doing away with appeals which are likely to make things
even harder. Emotionally means that they are very sensitive to bad news such as
relationship break up and death.
These things affect disabilities and health as
Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Epilepsy, Diabetes, general learning disabilities,
Physical disabilities and mental disabilities.
Proof in writing.
You may find
yourself having to do quite a bit of proof in writing as a lot of people can be
force into situation they can’t manage and even worse many people are forced into these situations without support. Here is example but you may not
necessary come across finding yourself writing what I'm writing now. I'm just
making it up as I go along.
Just an example of putting something in
writing.
Patient’s name Fred
Blogs
Nurse’s name Sara Gorman
Situation Fred can’t be force into factory work without
support because he has Epilepsy. Fred is talking phebarotone three times a day
500mgs. Fred should be supported in work otherwise it’s not safe for him to
work while he’s on this medication.
What has happened? Fred has cut his arm on the machine; he
shouldn’t be working in dangerous situations.
Proof.
Due
to what I see Fred needs six weeks off work to rest his injured arm. This will
give you time Mr Jones to sort out support for Fred otherwise it will be too
dangerous for him to work in your factory. Fred needs to be supported to find
the right job for him and support in work.
Nurse’s
concern.
My
concern is Fred seems very distressed, he worried about being put on dangerous
jobs. Fred would like the support to find Library work because he loves books.
My concern is also Mr Jones is that you are making him over the hours he can
work on his ESA and you are paying over the money he allowed to earn ESA, he
can’t earn anymore than £101.00 per a week and he shouldn't be working full
hours while being on the benefit. Fred is in danger of having his money
stopped. Fred needs a job where he’s not going to be in danger to others and
himself plus a job he can manage easily and he’s safe.

What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a disorder from the nervous system,
which can either be mild or major. Mild Epilepsy is (Petit Mal) and major is
(Grand mal). Grand mal is if the person loses consciousness. Petit Mal is an
episodic loss of attention sleep. Major Epilepsy is a severe form of Epilepsy. Some causes are due to either mild or major
brain damage, it’s possible that major Epilepsy is cause by major bran damage
and mild Epilepsy is caused by mild brain damage but not all people’s seizures
are caused by brain damage, which I will list down in a while from now in this
study.
Known
causes.
· Head
injuries, birth injuries, brain tumours or and brain damage.
· Infections
like Meningitis.
· Subarachnoid
haemorrhages.
· Stroke
· Problems
developing during.
Known
triggers of Epilepsy.
· Stress
of Anxiety.
· Some
medicines.
· Lacking
of sleep.
· Skipping
meals low blood sugar.
· Heavy
alcohol and drugs.
· Flicking
and flashing lights.
· Menstruation
(periods in females).
Mild
seizures.
Generalised
seizures.
Generalise seizures can come without a warning. The
person is unconscious this could last for a few seconds. They will not remember
what happened during the seizure.
Typical.
Absences
seizures know as petit mal).
Absence seizures are when a person loses control of
consciousness and they may stare into space. Absence seizures are most common
with children, which I used to get as a child myself. They become unconscious
for a short while. They may look blank or eyelids may flicker. They will not be
aware of what is going on around them. If they are walking they may not be
aware of what they are doing. Absences can be confused with day dreaming but
unlike day dreaming. (They will not respond). They are what you call blank
spells, which happen if they are doing things. Absence seizures are normally
quick and brief to notice what happened.
Atypical
absence. Often last a bit longer with physical
movement such as a brief nod of the head.
Tonics
seizures.
Tonic
seizure is when the person is having a dropping attack where the muscles drop
and flop. Tonic can brief without a warning.
Tonic – Clonic seizures
the person loses full conscious, stiffens and suffers from convulsion. After
the seizure the person is confused, disoriented tired.
Atonics
Seizures.
The
person’s muscles go stiff. It can happen when standing up unaware they are
banging their head backwards and forwards. Strangely this is another seizure
that is brief and happened without a warning.
· Myoclonic seizures are
movements in the muscles. The muscles contract and relax rapidly causing jumping
movements.
Understanding
the needs and wants of people with disabilities and health problems.
The government are doing everything in their need
to save money. Therefore everyone will have to be in full time work unless they
are so severely disabled they can more at all to a point they can’t feed
themselves or get out of bed. At least 100 % or more of people with
disabilities and health problems want to work the same hours as others and earn
the same money as other people. All what is needed is the right jobs and the
right support for these people, then there wouldn’t be any problem people with
disabilities and health problems working unless they are so disabled they
couldn’t move to a point they need 24 hour care.
The government
needs to make their minds because they say on one hand they want people to work
but the jobs are hard to find.
There are not a
lot of jobs for other people so what chance has people with disabilities and
health problems got?
There needs to be
jobs created for people with disabilities and health problems. For example it
would be dangerous putting someone who has epilepsy on a job going up ladders.
Everyone has a
skill even people with disabilities and health problems we just need the right
support to find the right job and support in the job.
People with any forms of disabilities and
health problems.
People all forms
of disabilities and health problems get misunderstood and disbelieved one way
or the other through a lack of communication and understanding.
When I left school
twenty – nine year, I found it hard to know what was going to happen because I
left school with nothing to show. This was a huge disappointment because I
couldn’t see what a head of me was until I started a living in job over mid
Wales Newtown Powys called the Camnant centre. It was a Riding for the Disabled
centre; I was there for five years. I left school March 1986, then started
Camnant April 1986 and achieved my first Riding for the Disabled Grade 1
certificate July 1986, which was when I started to see my way forward from
there. All the same nothing was as straight forward as seems but I haven't spent the last twenty – nine years doing nothing either.
What is Dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia has a big affect on people's' lives a lot more than a lot of people without Dyspraxia realize but why should life stop for us because of it with the right support we should be able to get by equal to other people? Dyspraxia is very often notice because the person can walk and talk as much as you then the person are this believed until people spend a good amount of time with them. Even then it's as if most people don't accept us in society or treat us like other people when either we or someone makes people aware of our problems. I am not saying the world is all black and white some people treat us equal others don't. All same a lot more awareness needs to be raised. Not that I am saying that Dyspraxia is the only disability that needs to raised awareness of they all do.
Dyspraxia is more of a learning difficulty than a learning disability; it can happen to people all ages. Dyspraxia is a coordination and motor skills problem; it causes people to have such difficulties in tying shoelaces. Cooking, cleaning, household jobs whereas they are likely are skilled mentally rather than physically. To make for not be very good physically most people call be mentally creative such as story writing, poetry, drawing and painting.
I guess the younger someone is to get diagnosed the better help they should be able to get through life. The old you are to get diagnosed the harder I guess it is the less help you get and the less understood you are. I will admit for me it's still unknown whether I have Dyspraxia or not because there are many disabilities if any are hard to diagnose the older you are. For example I was born with whatever disabilities I have forty - five years ago, which back then before and even after they knew handy anything about disabilities and health problems.
What
I do know it has been hard for me to full time work because I am limited to the
work I can do and can't do like I wouldn't be able to do, cooking, cleaning,
factory, manual and machine work yet I am rather good with computers. In
these times now the government except people to work whatever jobs there and
whether they get the right support or not, which is no different from when I
was young. There again employer saw me work they wanted me out even though I
made them aware of what to expect when they interviewed me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-31838006
this day and age now young people should get diagnosed and get their needs
supported which would save them a lot of stress, discrimination and
misunderstanding throughout life.
When you have Dyspraxia you can be misunderstood as clumsy. You are not well balanced when it comes to say climbing things, not very steady with carrying a hot heavy roast joint out the oven, straining vegetables, you can easily fall over fresh air and you are likely to be more messing doing physical things than other people. As babies you are likely to be slower at feeding yourself, even crawling and walking more so than other babies. You are more likely to hurt yourself more so than other people all through your life. For me I have to carry one cup at a time when something is hot and heavy. My left side is weaker than my right so if anything I carry light things with my left and heavy things with my right but if something is really hard I ask for help.
We also need to think of the employer as well in terms of health and safety as well as whether or not the person can do the job or not. Without the right tools, diagnose and support for the person it's a lot for a employer to take on board in the terms of health and safety but then very frustrating for the person themselves trust me I have been there. There's nothing worse feeling you are no use to anything or anyone to a point don't even feel you any use to yourself even. Why are we born if we are meant to feel that way? Different disabilities can link with Anxiety and Depression. If a person is made to hopeless, useless to a point others don't believe in them which then they are likely to feel as if life isn't worth living and they don't have a future to look forward to because others run them to think they can't have an equal life to others then Anxiety and Depression is more than likely to kick to a point they are likely to have thoughts of taking their own lives and some may just do that because they will feel as if they will have no reason to be here if they feel they can't make a success out of themselves. Saying that I have only been doing Awareness training and Advocacy for eight years in September whereas before then I had been put here there and everything, very few jobs were for me and very little support then compared to now even though I'm in full time work yet but I hope I am getting there. When I had lost my work with Mencap back in May 2011
- December 2011 because the government cut the funding. I couldn't get a course let alone a job then depression kicked because I had nothing to do, then in time I aimed towards my poetry and I think I did a bit drawing and painting even though I was having counselling. On top of that I was still coming to terms with my last relationship having broken up after 13 and half years even though it finished in 2007. Mencap was the first job I lost within my field whereas the ones before I felt a mixture of emotions so it's good to keep the mind busy.

There's
nothing more rewarding when you feel as if you achieved, you’re successful in
life and you have done a good job. People have hidden talents that they find it
hard to show and without sounding big headed they are people the likes of me
because a lot of people see us for our weaknesses. We just need the right
support to go about our strengths. Having said that with most things the things
that we are good at less support we need us need more support with the things
we are not good at.
Despite of Dyspraxia being a physical disability in fact physical difficulty I should say it is a very hidden learning difficulty because these people can walk and talk just as much as anyone. The only difference is they are just a bit slower than other people and that includes me. To look at us you wouldn't think we have problems with our hands, we haven't got as much strength and grip as other people have which can cause us to have problems with opening, jars, tins and etc but some jars, tins and etc are tougher than others for us. Some disability aids work for us others don't plus some disability aids can be rather pricey too.

Dyslexia.
A lot of people
tend to think people with Dyslexia can’t read and write all but there may miss
words out of sentences, put letters in the wrong places of a word, some things
could be the wrong way round or a word could be spelt the wrong way round, dog
might bog, p may be q, m and n may get mixed up I and l meaning L may be mixed
up. Number 28 may be mistakenly written down as 82.
Dementia.
How can people be misunderstood? People with Dementia are likely to be
misunderstood as loopy, crazy, senile, dotty, past it, not all there and in a
world of their own.
They may feel
depressed, anxious and confused.
Memory loss. They
may feel angry because they may not remember the things they used to remember.
They are likely to find it hard to take in information mainly the elderly,
people with disabilities and health problems.
Sadly there’s no
care for Dementia, it is scarier than cancer.
Lewy body Dementia affect people with such
health problems and disabilities as Parkinson’s diseases and Epilepsy.
Vascular Dementia
is likely to affect people with a Stroke. It’s uncertain what Dementia a person
the learning difficultly Dyspraxia is likely to have.
Autism awareness mouth was on the 2nd
April 2015 all through the mouth.
I wrote an Autism awareness report on
my website sararevealed.blogspot.com/ on the 2nd April 2015-06-02
for all through the mouth. Like all disabilities and health problems there
should be Autism awareness all year round.
Autism is mostly
social disability please find out on.
·
Autism
is there with a person for life.
·
Autism
affects different people in different ways depending on the kind of Autism the
person has and the person themselves.
·
There
are many different causes of Autism.
·
Most
people with Autism have disabilities and health problems.
·
Find
out what other disabilities and health problems link with Autism.
·
What
kind of forms of Autism are there?
·
There’s
around 10% of the population with Autism meaning round about 620’000 people.
·
Autism
can have an effect on behaviour than even more people with Autism are not aware
of, which makes them most misunderstood by others.
Signs and symptoms of Autism.
·
Speech
delay they may not say a lot until they are two years old.
·
Not
responding to their name.
·
Rejected
cuddles.
·
In
their own world.
·
Unaware
of others.
·
Entering
people’s space.
·
Now
seeming to enjoy company of their own age, such as social events and parties.
·
They
may well prefer to be and play alone.
·
Problems
with facial expression.
·
Avoiding
eye contact.
·
Flopping
hands, rocking or flicking fingers.
·
They
may be fussy about toys, colours, size and style.
·
They
may stick to a certain route for a long time, then it stops when they decide to
then stick to the next route for a long time.
·
They
may be fussy about foods texture, taste and colour.
·
They
might find it hard to share a topic when talking and share things with others.
·
They
might find it hard to communicate and understand others
·
They
may behave in an unimaginative way.
·
They
may find it hard to have an interest and take in information.
A lot of people with Autism have problems with
communicating and understanding others, which they may find it hard to get
along with others, which makes Autism a social problem. Most people with Autism
seem left out of the company of others because they find it hard to communicate
with others around them. They find it hard to cope with the big wide world.
Crowds of people can be very hard for people with Autism to cope with. Autism
can link with Anxiety when it comes to copying with too many people around them,
which is where panic can set in. This can be the same when it comes to quos in
say post offices and shops. The seats may be full on the bus. Most forms of
Autisms can be hidden disabilities meaning the person can walk and talk but not
necessary well balanced on their feet so people are less likely to give up
their seat mainly if it is a young person with Autism. The person with Autism
is likely to feel embarrassed to explain themselves to others mainly they are
strangers to them.
·
Difficulty
with social communication. Communicating with others.
·
Difficulty
with social interaction. Finding it hard to cope with too many people around
them.
·
Difficulty
with social imagination. Finding it hard to tell if someone is serious or
joking.
People with Autism may seem nasty and rude to others but that’s not the
case, they are just awareness of people’s feelings and the world around them
but people with Autism have faults as much as other people do. Autism is Mind
blindness.
Due to lack of social communication a person with Autism can be left out
of what others are doing and what they are talking about. A person with Autism
may talk about something completely different to what others are talking about
because they very often find it hard to take information and they may be
unaware of what’s going on around them. This can make them misunderstood for
being thick but they are not then others are likely to push them out of their
company.
Find out online how the benefit system works
these days such as DLA changing to PIP and about Employment and Support
allowance. For example find out how the assessment of the PIP works https://www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility
How do we treat health problems?
Most medications that treat health problems
through side effects are likely to bring other health problems on. http://www.drugs.com/sfx/
Student’s feedback.
Well done to the first and second year
students and I’m more than looking forward to meeting the 3rd year
students.
Yes 2nd year students you are
right to say that the cuts are getting worse and there’s going to be no help
but all the same I’m here to do my job. What we need to be doing is some work
around the benefit cuts and changes. I have put a link above this page which
will tell how the changes of DLA benefit is going to change to PIP benefit. I’d
be most grateful if you can also find out about the Employment and Support
allowance benefit please to see how that works. Most people I know find the
unhealthy food are cheaper than the healthy more times than not but it can
vary.
You are right to say that people are getting
less support in the home. Most people on benefits can’t affront home support.
Some people need more support than others.
What happens if support isn’t given?
Dietitian’s advice people with disabilities
and health problems to eat healthily foods. As you are awareness not many
people are getting support in the home according whether not their benefits pay
enough for them to have a support worker maybe you can check support services
online to see how much they change and see check the income on the benefits. To get to the point most
people with disabilities and health problems may not now be getting support to
budget their money to know where they can affront to shop for healthy food.
Bear in mind some places could be too far where they live and for most people
transport problems could be involved.
It would also be good to check out prices in
shops and even online to see the prices of healthily food. When you study the benefits, get a rough idea
of how much peoples’ incomes are to the food prices in the shops. Bear in mind
people on benefits have to pay bills, things for their home, food, wash things
and etc and for the last two years people on benefits have had to pay council
tax. Also bare in some people like myself are doing a little bit of work, which
could be about 16 hours a week and we can work up to £101,00 per. I am on
Employment and Support, which is working related Permitted work.
You are right to say that people’s mental
health is increasing as times get tougher and there are more risks of deaths.
How long people have to wait for their appeals is anyone’s guess but the longer
they have to wait the more stress it is on people’s health. Even worse I have
heard that the government is doing away with appeal because of the cost and
they are too much on people’s side. I watched an 2 years old YouTube clip of
the Liberal government say that these benefit cuts and appeals is costing the
tax payer thousands.
What do you think it would do to vulnerable people if the NHS goes private?
The government needs to make up their minds.
Iain Duncan Smith has been getting people
with disabilities and learning difficulties into factory work. Factory work
bosses fear that it will be hard to employ other factory workers. Staff could
be made redundant leading to seventy – five job losses, staff are very angry.
David Cameron says in another report people
who bath cannot independently will no longer quality for a carer. Employed
people with disabilities will be force into unemployment because PIP will not
be able to facilitate their role in the workplace. Yet it says the PIP website
people can claim for PIP whether they are working or not.
What do you think about the way the
government is treating disabled people when it comes to careers?
My
experience of having disabilities and health problems.
When it comes to access services I have there can be a
lack of communication and understanding. In my opinion may it’s me but it seems
as if one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. Managers
should inform staff at all times of rules and changes to their services.
Surely there’s not more than one answer to one question. For example; can you
help me fill my benefit form please? Nine times out of ten you get yes from one
person and no from the other. Then they may tell you the place down the road
with help you. You try the place down the road for them to send you on a wild
goose chase or and to send you back where you were in the first place.
When I was younger I have had employers dishonest with
me, when I have already made them aware of my disabilities and health problems.
In the interview they have told me that they would take me on board but then
when they have seen me work, they have changed their mind. I have already told
them I am a slow worker and I will find it hard to complete a job at a certain
time but they only refused me when they saw me work. At the time I was on
schemes, they have even put me down in front of my training officer. On top of
that it does not only know that failed the job but there attitude, tone of voice
and a feeling that they didn’t like me. I understand no one is not a success in
everything, that’s impossible but there’s only so low one can make a person
feel in them. I found it hard to believe in myself for long
time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-31838006

When you have
disabilities and health problems you are limited to choice, freedom and control
of your life. What those limit are depending what kind of disabilities and
health problems you have and how they affect your life. The barriers I have had
to face are not able to drive, marry and have children. I am not saying that’s
all there is to life and that’s all the barriers I have had to face but it’s just
some of them. Whether I would have liked those things or not isn’t beside
the point. My disabilities and health problems have taken away those choices
from me whether I like it or not.
Going to another
county would be another hard barrier for me, busy airports, too much
information and too much jargon and risks of missing my plane. It would be a
huge task for me to cope in a strange country without any support.
