Introduction to eating disorders.
One important awareness I must raise is eating disorders because
if you find yourself treating patients who have had their money cut or and
stopped as I have said they are in risk of either not eating or ending up going
into debt. The ones who are in risk of not eating or even not even eating
enough is a big worry. This is where health checks more often are necessary
because they could be in risks of such eating disorders like Anorexia Nervosa,
which is an underweight eating Disorder. Bulimia Nervosa is an
overweight Eating Disorder, which is just as serious. Some people may even be
in risk of going from one eating Disorder to the other, mainly if they have had
their benefits cut or stopped and they are not able to eat at all. Although
there are food banks that can't give enough health checks still need to be done
more often than normal. Please study this link to learn more about Eating
Disorders
There could be all kinds of reasons why a lot of people with
disabilities and health problems could find it hard to access food and exercise
in a healthy way. A lot of it comes down to cost and support these days
with the cuts and not all benefits pay enough for people have their needs met
even though the government says the benefits are for that purpose but shocking
how fast money goes for most people by the time they have paid bills and that.
Just to make it clear that some people may be luckier than others in
different ways but in today's world in Britain as a whole the government is not
making easy for to access their lives and it's the most vulnerable and
poor people it's hitting most.
For some people there may not be any healthy foods they like. In
most shops they can make the healthy food more costly than the unhealthy food.
Most shops that sell healthy food at a less costly price could be too
further afield for most people with disabilities and health problems
to travel, some people may have transport problems in different ways, which
could make it hard for them in different ways but it's not necessary a problem
for everyone as some people can travel more independent than others.
Some may need more support than others. For a lot of people it could be
more a problems for those who have had their benefits cut or and stopped.
Although there certain disability aids to support people to do
things like cooking yet again most disability aids can be rather costly
for most people, which can be a problem for most people if they can't get
support as much as they used to or not at all.
Learn about Diabetes, which I need to be learning myself about
because I don’t have the condition but I do know that people have to wait their
diet. There’s two types of Diabetes type 1 and 2, I think 1 is sugar Diabetes
and the other is non sugar Diabetes and their weight I think needs to be kept
an eye 1 way or the other either under or over weight, which either one could
be type 1 or type 2.
Type 2 Diabetes.
Diabetes is when the amount of sugar in the blood is too high
therefore there’s not enough insulin in the body.
Sometimes the Pancreases are not working properly, which makes the
person unwell.
The person will get very thirsty.
The person will need a healthy diet.
The person will need to be either on tablets or injections but the
tablets should be taken regularly at the right times so make sure you write it
an accessible way the times people with Diabetes need to take their tablets.
Ask them how they would like their information set out because it’s very
important their medication information clear enough to the way they understand
because they must not take too little or much medication otherwise they could
be very well by mistake.
Type 2 Diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes normally happens before the age of 40.
It can be treated by injections.
The person needs a healthy diet.
The person will need the toilet a lot.
The person will be tired a lot.
The person won’t see well.
Again for health and safety reasons always check with the person
to see how they would find information to read.
What is Diabetes?
Our bodies have different parts to keep us healthy.
Food and drink go to our stomach to give us energy.
There’s a part in our body called the Pancreas, this helps the
food be more useful to our bodies. The Pancreas also makes insulin that help
balance the sugar from our food in the body and blood.
Introduction
to Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects the brain and nervous
system.
It is caused by damage to the brain.
The damage to the brain generally happens during or soon after a
baby is born.
1 in 400 children are affected by cerebral palsy.
There are many different symptoms of
cerebral palsy.
The symptoms become clear in the first
3 years of a child’s life.
Some of the symptoms are:
·
slow development, like learning to
crawl, walk or speak
·
epilepsy
·
learning difficulties
·
incontinence
·
visual impairment
·
hearing impairment
·
curved spine
·
difficulties in speaking
Cerebral palsy is spotted when you are
a child.
If you have a child with the symptoms
of cerebral palsy the doctor will ask you about their development.
The doctor will also look at how your
child moves.
Other test might be needed to find out if
your child has cerebral palsy.
The tests are:
·
blood tests
·
brain tests called an MRI scan and CT
scan
Most cases of cerebral palsy cannot be
prevented.
If you are pregnant you can do things
to stop birth problems occurring.
These are:
·
going to all your medical checkups
during pregnancy
·
avoid drinking alcohol
·
avoid smoking
·
take regular exercise and eat a healthy
diet
·
make sure your vaccinations are up to
date
The child will be given a key worker. A
key worker is a person that arranges the support services for the child.
There is a wide range of treatment for
cerebral palsy.
Some of the treatment includes:
·
speech and language therapy
·
Help for muscle problems, this is
called physiotherapy.
·
help to move around and do daily tasks,
this is called
·
occupational therapy
·
tablets that relax the muscles
Disabilities and health problems worldwide.
This is an Introduction
to disabilities and health problems worldwide.
When I say
learning disabilities and health problems worldwide I mean all walks of life.
At the moment I am
working on a study of disabilities, health problems, illnesses and conditions
for life. To be truthful there are so many disabilities, health problems,
illnesses and conditions that are hard to know what is what. There are so many
questions that need answering like what disabilities, health problems,
illnesses and condition, how they start? Before, during or after birth and
whether they last for life or now.
As far as we are
aware in today's world there's at least 1 in 5 people just suffer from 1
learning disability, which may not seem a lot to go by but believe me it is so
there's still a lot an awareness to raise.
The general
population only have to have a cold for a about a week or two which does
seem like a lifetime but then it goes, which is a huge difference to those of
us who have lifetime disabilities, health problems, illnesses and conditions.
There's even a huge difference between have them from birth to someone having
them sometime or halfway through life. We live in hope it will never happen to
you, never say never and a huge difference to your life if it ever does.
People with
disabilities and health problems have to live with these barriers.
- Poor health care.
- Having to depend on benefits for the cost of
our health care.
- No access to health insurance.
- Less access to adequate health care.
There are many
types of disabilities.
- Vision, sight, seeing and blind.
- Thinking, mind, remembering and memory.
- Hearing, hard of hearing and deaf.
- Movement Dyspraxia.
- Communicating, socialising and Autism.

This was a game Frustration for me as a child in the 70s, pressing that ball took out the frustration, ADHD, ADD and Anxiety out of me. Someone needs to bring it back.
ADHD AND ADD.
There still needs
to be more awareness of ADHD and ADD because it is one of the most
misunderstood disability and health. This is because it can mainly cause the
person to have behaviour problems that they can get understood for being rude,
bad mannered, nasty and etc but as children they need to learn right from wrong
as much as anyone, only that they may take longer to learn right from wrong
compared to other people, which can become embarrassing for them and others
around them because they not always aware of what they are doing wrong and why
it’s wrong when they do understand it’s wrong. That doesn’t mean they should be
treated any special to others but it means that certain things don’t mean to
appear as they do.
There are two
types of Hyperactivity in people ADHD stands for Attention Deflect/
Hyperactivity. ADD stands for Attention Deflect Disorder. What is the
difference between the two? ADHD is twice likely more in boys than girls.
Most common symptoms of ADHD.
·
Impulsiveness
thinks of consequences.
· Jumping from one activity to
another. ( Bad concentration)
· Interrupting when people are
talking.
· Finding hard it to keep still.
· Inattention easy distracted, zooming out,
unfinished work or no work at all, finding it hard to do things a certain
length of time and find it hard to listen to people they really say.
· They could be on the same task
or job all day.
· They may not be able to
complete things to the speed others want them to.
· They have either too much
energy or no energy at all.
·
If someone suffers
from ADHD or ADD teachers, tutors and employers need be aware to what is to be
except in able to give the right support.
ADHD and ADD.
When I was a child
I was hyperactive it’s possible it was cause by the side - effects of
medication, which was Phenobarbital that was for my Epilepsy. I could never
sleep or pay attention in school and I was always in a world of my own. My long
term memory was alright but short term wasn’t but I am not much different now. When
I came off the tablet there were quite a lot of changes but there are also
quite a lot of things about me that are still the same.
·
Following
instructions, write things down in bullets point, 123, ABC but the person how
they want the information laid out first.
· Some people may not be aware
if you're talking to them or they may think you are when you are not.
· They may find it hard to focus
on more than one thing.
· They may day dream, get
confused easily, learn and move slowly.
· They may find it hard to focus
on things that are not clear or easy to read and understand this is where
others can misunderstand them for not being interested in the topic, which
isn’t always the case.
· They can be easily distracted,
miss information, forget things, forget what others have said to them, find it
hard to remember what they have read, find it hard to take in information and
misunderstand.
· They could find it hard to
focus on organizing, completely a task and learning something new and change is
a big step for them. (Time keeping can be a big a big step for most people
too.)
· From talking too to not saying
a lot.
· From been active to not
active.
· Constantly in motion.
· Finding it hard to sit and
listen to others. (Fidgeting in seats.)
·
Dash around, play
or no energy at all.
What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a lot more
a serious health condition than what a lot of people think, which is hardy
surprise to how strangely confusing it can be if comes and goes. Epilepsy is
one of these health conditions to those who suffer from it different people can
face different experiences from the health condition.
I myself was born with the condition I had
seizures from birth to the age of 12 them 31 to 43 and I haven't had a seizure
2 years. Just because a person hasn’t had a seizure for a period of time that doesn't mean they don’t have Epilepsy because it’s unknown whether or not if
they will have a seizure again.
If they are born with the condition like I was
there’s a fair big chance the seizures could come back at any time. When my
seizures stopped the age of 12 I built my hopes to think they would never come
back again, I don’t built my hopes up this time round. The link I have sent at
the bottom of this report, there is a new report I got off Facebook about a 51
year old woman who hadn’t had a seizure for 20 years then suddenly died in the
bath.
I have put another
link about Epilepsy isn’t unknown anymore but it is unknown when so many people
have been having so many scans and they have been coming back normal and people
are still have seizures, which has happened to myself long before now.
Introduction to Dyspraxia.
Dyspraxia
is more of a learning difficulty than a learning disability. Dyspraxia is a
learning difficulty with movement. Dyspraxia is much a hidden learning
difficulty where the person can walk and talk just like other people but they
could have a very mild speech problem.
It
can be cause from a very mild brain damage at the birth but there could be
other causes to Dyspraxia too. It depends which side of the brain is mildly
damage the left or right, it will make a person’s one side of the body weaker
than the other.
I
can only speak for myself but I have no idea whether or not would be possible
for Dyspraxia affect both side of the body but if both sides of the both are
affected I guess it is possible. For me my right arm and hand is stronger than
my left but I have found medications have made me weaker and shaky.
Dyspraxia
can be linked to other disabilities such as Autism Spectrum, Dyslexia, ADHD
and Dyscalculia.
There’s
not much difference between Dyspraxia and Dyslexia. Dyslexia is classed as a
mental learning disability whereas Dyspraxia is classed as physical and mental.
People with Dyspraxia can face reading, writing and maths difficulties and
disabilities but that doesn't necessary mean they can
do reading, writing and maths, they just see things the wrong way round
even miss things out. Dyscalculia is a maths disability.
On
the physical side with Dyspraxia people can have problems with.
Dyspraxia
isn't new a learning difficulty but it's it is new as far awareness is
curtained so please learn more online about Dyspraxia. Dyspraxia has always
been misunderstood because of it been a very hidden learning difficulty
therefore such people born before 21st century wouldn't have got the
support they should have had, in fact by a guess Dyspraxia awareness have been
only going on about ten years. People before about ten years ago
wouldn't have been diagnosed because no one knew about Dyslexia. For
example it may be possible that I
may have been born
with Dyspraxia nearly forty - six years ago because I have always had grip and
motor skills problems but I could have had mixed of plenty of people in my life
who faced the same problems but not known and the same for them with me. As
child, teenager and young adult I felt useless, helpless and clumsy and
never understood why I was like I was and others thought of me the same, which
didn't make me feel very confident about myself. Now I know awareness is
starting I am feeling less alone and more confident so let's learn more and
raise more awareness so others start to feel more confident
about them!
DIAGNOSIS
OF DYSPRAXIA
Assessments for dyspraxia typically require a
developmental history, detailing ages at which significant developmental
milestones, such as crawling and walking, occurred. Motor skills screening
includes activities designed to indicate dyspraxia, including balancing,
physical sequencing, touch sensitivity, and variations on walking activities.
There are six main areas of difficulty which can be profiled within dyspraxia;
the four main areas are listed below:
Speech
and language
• Difficulties controlling the speech organs.
• Difficulties making speech sounds
• Difficulty sequencing sounds
• Difficulty controlling breathing and phonation
• Slow language development
• Difficulty with feeding.
Fine
motor control
• Problems with handwriting, which may be due to
either ideational or video-motor difficulties
• Learning basic movement patterns in writing
• Establishing the correct pencil grip
• Hand aching while writing.
Whole
body movement, coordination, and body image
• Issues with walking, running, climbing and
jumping
• Poor timing
• Poor balance
• Difficulty combining movements into a controlled sequence.
• Difficulty remembering the next movement in a sequence.
Physical
play
• Physical play
• Mistiming when catching
• Difficulty in using scissors
• Problems with dressing and feeding.
Dyslexia
is not a physical disability.
Introduction of Autism.
What is Autism?
Autism
is a long life disability that affects different people in different ways
mainly when it comes to communication. Most people with Autism find the world
an even bigger place than what it really is, mainly when there’s a lot of
people and a lot of busy places; this is when Autism can link to Anxiety.
Socialising, communicating and joining
in with people.
A
lot of people with Autism find it hard to cope with facial expression, jokes,
sarcasm like break a leg, common phases cool which may mean good to you but
cold to them.
It’s
possible I may have lived with Autism for nearly forty-six years since birth
but not been diagnosed. Whatever my disabilities and health problems are they
have made me the person I am today. A lot of these things I am going to write
about I have faced and overcome, others I have never faced and
hopefully never will.
The
disabilities and health problems I have I face for life like it is for Autism.
I
am going to write down the signs and symptoms of Autism. Just because a person
may not face all of them that doesn't mean I don’t have Autism. It’s
hard to know how many of these signs and symptoms you have got to have to
know whether you have Autism or not, which is down to a Specialist to know.
This
kind of behaviour can be misunderstood for someone not being a very nice person
but then hard to tell whose behaviour is on purpose and who's not. The
behaviour of people with Autism may appear odd to other people. People with
Autism very are unaware of how they appear to others but then feel guilty and
ashamed if and when others tell what’s happened, this also is rather
embarrassing for them as well.
· As a baby most people may be slow at
talking or they don’t say enough compared to other children.
· They may not respond to their name.
· They may reject cuddles.
· They may be in their own world.
· They may find it hard to communicate
with others around.
· Having too many people around them may
be too much for them, which Anxiety could be linked as well, they may feel as sense of panic but you don't have Autism to have that kind of
Anxiety.
· They may not be safe
out alone until at least after leaving school age, they may have
no sense of direction and unaware of others around them, traffic and etc,
Anxiety could link into this as well.
· They may not like others entering
their space but they may enter the space of others, Autism is a sense self
meaning they are unaware of others and things around them.
· Not seeming to enjoy being with others
but not seeming to be alone either.
· They may find it hard to fit in what
others are talking about.
· Others may tend to leave them out of
their company.
· How people with Autism may say something
might be upsetting to others but not mean to be.
· There are certain behaviours that
others can laugh at but the person Autism may feel hurt or and bullied.
· Some people with Autism can be easily
led, for eg; if someone said to them go and take a run and jump, they may will
because they may feel bullied by the person who said it.
· The way you say something very
important to how you say it to people with Autism for eg; if they are in
hospital and you say wait outside, they may wait outside instead of the waiting
room.
· Facial expression, they may stare at
people when not needing to but not being aware they yet they may not like the
way some people may look at them, which could make them nervous, scared or even
shy. Due to the fact that the way they are appears odd to others but it doesn't mean everyone doesn’t accept the way they are but then it gives the person with
Autism that fear because they face it so much in their lives.
· They may avoid eyes contact
meaning if they have to look at you they find it hard to do but they may stare
at you when you don't want them to without being aware of how people see their
behaviour. Very they are not aware of how they behave.
· They may rock, flop their hands and
ever flick fingers.
· They may stick to a certain route for
a long period of which they may or not change but if they do, it will in their
time they will change it then the same will go again with another route, which
will go on all their lives.
· They may be fussy about toys for
example, colours, texture, style, size and etc.
· The same with food, colour, taste,
texture and etc but it’s not in everyone, even people without Autism can be
like that.
· They may find it hard to share for eg;
they may go off the topic others are talking about and find it hard to share
things with others.
· They may find it hard communicate in
the way others do with each other.
· They may behave in an unimaginative
way but others have got a good imaginative. Most People who have Autism play on
their own which imaginative some even grow to be fiction writers.
· Many may be slow at having an interest
due to comprehensive problems and memory, if they face this
problem they also could have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or both.
Introduction to
depression.
The purpose of
this report is at some point I have been asked to do some teach some students
at some point on long and lifetime disabilities, health problems illnesses and
conditions, which I think whether they happened before, during and after birth.
I have searched a lot of websites online to find out whether or not Anxiety and
Depression are lifetime health problems. Everyone knows that Depression is a
serious illness even though it may not seem like it because of it being much
hidden. I guess to how worldwide Depression that it can vary from person to
person, which may depend on whether or not they have other disabilities and
health problems or not but in cases may not be the case. I may even say soon in
this report that you have to have disabilities and other health problems to
suffer from Anxiety and Depression. Anxiety is another health problem that we
still have a lot to learn about to be sure.
Depression is a feeling of sadness that can come on in any place at anytime and
anywhere. I have problem raised awareness of Depression this website before but
Depression can be so easily misunderstood. Depression is more of a serious
illness than it looks and it's about time it is taken seriously. Its reason for
being misunderstood is because Depression is so hidden like many other health
problems and disabilities.
All these famous people suffered from Depression died at the very young age of 27.
Depression is a very sad feeling with or without a reason.
For just a very sad feeling also a very illness and health problem.
You can have everything, some things not others or nothing if you suffer from Depression it's in you and you get that very sad feeling no matter what your life is like.
You are not to blame but you get blamed and misunderstood for being a grateful person mainly you have a lot or just more than most people in your life.
If you have nothing you get felt sorry for but that isn't what you want you are just grateful being you because that is what you are used to.
Would have been Robin William's 64th birthday 21.7.2015.
In fact really it's so easy to misunderstand
Depression because a lot of people except a lot of people with Depression are
sad, angry and moody all the while which is not the case but then we look happy
we are not believed we have got Depression. In fact it's a hard fight to be
happy mainly when a lot of people when really people would misunderstand us if
we were to look sad all the while, therefore people with Depression can't win
either way. In fact a lot of comedy actors suffer from Depression and they are
people who make us laugh. Not everyone who suffers from Depression necessary
has the talent of making people laugh but most do and it doesn't necessarily
dependent on what kind of Depression it
is.http://www.socialworkdegreeguide.com/10-famous-people-with-anxiety-disorders/
Despite of how the word Depression sounds it doesn't all have a dull side. Lots
of people with Depression have career or they are even famous. People will
Depression sit staring at the ceiling and walls every day. More often than not
we have to have if anything something our lives to keep us going before we
crack up. Many would say due to our Anxiety and Depression we wouldn't cope in
a job with most of us it's not true, we can't cope without a job. For a lot of
us if we haven't got work, college or something we will set ourselves hobbies
and interests, which a lot of us will have whether we have other things in our
lives or not. I'm not saying for all of us but for most it possibly keeps us
alive, we may still have thoughts of taking our lives but having something we
enjoy our life is likely to prevent us from taking our own lives but it doesn't
work that way for all of us, each and every one of us deals with Anxiety and
Depression different ways. Like with all of us we all have certain skills
that isn't necessary because we have certain disabilities and health problems
or not. There are different forms of Depression in these websites.
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Depression/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
Not everyone who suffers from Anxiety and
Depression necessary suffers from disabilities and other health problems.
Anxiety and Depression is more common that it used to be and there needs to be more
awareness because it's possible in history that a lot of people have spent a
lot of their live with Anxiety and Depression without even one person knowing.
Back in the day, if you were feeling sad for no reason it wasn't understood so
it's about time we learned to understand. My worry is that there could be so
many people suffering from Anxiety and Depression and so unaware that they are,
they may think that it's the way of life that they have to put up with, when it
shouldn't have to be that way. This is why more awareness needs to be raised
because sorry to be negative but it could be possible truth that there could be
risks Anxiety and or Depression could cause so many unknown causes of death.
With Anxiety and Depression having been so common now yet still so unaware of,
different people are likely to face different problems in Anxiety and
Depression which doesn't mean because they not face all of that it doesn't
necessary mean that they don't suffer from Anxiety and Depression but I am not
saying everyone suffers from Anxiety and Depression either. For eg;.
·
Some people could
vary from sleeping very little to sleeping too much.
·
Others could just
sleep too much.
·
Others could just
sleep too little.
·
Others could vary
to eat very little to eating too much.
·
Others could just
eat very little.
·
Others could eat
too much.
·
If you find people
are suffering from a lot of stress they may be suffering from Anxiety.
·
Most people may
find it hard to see a way forward and even find it hard to see the positive in
life.
As
far as medication is curtained I think Health professions need to be very
careful mainly when it comes to people with disabilities and health problems
because many people could be on medications for different health problems. You
need to be studying whether a lot of healths problems are caused by certain
medications people are talking or in most cases within the health problems they
have got. Most medications can cause Depression and or even Anxiety through
side - effects. It's also very important that information is accessible for a
person with disabilities and health problems to read and understand. Some
people may be in risk of making themselves ill by mistake or even death. If the
information isn't accessible and the person hasn't really got anyone in their
lives to support them, it's very important that you take time to support the
person to understand the information for their health and safety. For eg; don't
write 1 tablet twice a day, write 2 tablets a day and tell them when to take
the second tablet whether it's tea time or bedtime for example.
Depression is such a worldwide and a serious
hidden illness in fact Anxiety is just as much the same. When say worldwide I
don't mean that everyone suffers from Anxiety and Depression but there so many
things that could cause it yet so unknown. Could well be short term illnesses
as well as long term illnesses. In fact naturally no one is happy when they are
not well full stop but I will honest to say the cause much unknown and very
hard to find. Like I said in the last paragraph a lot of medications can cause
Depression but also many other health problems. One thing I didn't say
was for example take Epilepsy someone could suffering one form of seizure then
the side - effect of the medication could cause another form of a seizure,
which could be the same with most medications for most illnesses and
health problems. Even illnesses more of us can get from mild to serious
colds, flu, Thyroid possibly, Thyroid medication and, Cancer and Cancer
treatment for example.
Depression and Anxiety can be in both male and
female. Sometimes in women it can be when young girls start their periods up
until the menopause till the stop altogether anytime between say forty to
sixty. Most women may suffer Anxiety and Depression, before, during, and after
pregnancy and birth. May will suffer what you call Postpartum depression, which I think is when
women have their first child and everything is new to them. Some woman may feel
as if they can't cope but they can. With not having faced pregnancy myself, I
don't know a lot about it but here's a link that will tell you more than I
can http://www.helpguide.org/articles/depression/depression-in-women.htm
May be you could goggle or use other search engines to find out information
on Anxiety and Depression in pregnant women with disabilities and health
problems.
Being a woman
myself I need to be careful what I say here so if I say anything wrong I'm
sorry. When it comes to men they very often have to find themselves bottling up
because society classes men as strong as very often they are physically but not
necessary mentally. Bottling up things you could say is a sign of Depression.
That's very worrying kind of Depression because it can be hard to know whether
or not something is bothering a man but then I had to learn that the hard way
with my ex boyfriend because he was always bottling things, I could tell by his
moods yet he would say there's nothing wrong. Whereas women it's classed
as the other way round. Despite of being a female myself, I am aware that
there's quite a lot of awareness of physical things happening to women such as
abuse, rape and etc but there's not a lot of awareness of happening to men yet
it does happen to men. For so many years now we have learned to accept
people having gay relationship meaning two people of same sex so there are as
much risks of physical and mental abuse happening in those relationships as the
same as straight relationships. It's shocking that that we say that women
aren't as strong physically men but in some cases it's true but other is not. I
think we may be quite shocked to hear that there are a lot of male victims to
females as well as the other way round so it's not all one sided. It's very
shocking that it's very possible that some people have gone through some
shocking things years ago even and never told anyone. Physical abuse, Mental
abuse violence and or etc doesn't just happen in relationships but in families
and friendship as well. Some of us cope with these things better than others to
be truthful but it can have a huge effect on many peoples' live in the
terms of Anxiety and Depression.
It can be most
common in men or at least it was back in the day in order being strong for the
woman. In fact I am honest to say sorry guys but nine times out ten we women
are stronger mentally in the sense letting our emotions out. By a guess more of
us women likely to see counsellor more so than what you guys
do.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/son-murdered-girlfriend---dont-6033638?ICID=FB_mirror_main
Another thing
is when you have been though some kind of relationship like I did with my ex
boyfriend Mental abuse is a hard one to prove because it's hard to provide any
proof compared to physical but my ex before him was crafty because he hit me in
the stomach and it didn't show a mark. It can take a long time even then to
trust anyone and even you do, it can be hard to trust yourself not to put onto
them what others have done to you. Yet my last ex I have had times to think I
have got over him, I don't feel anything for him anymore but I still feel angry
with the way he has hurt me, which has had a big affect on my Anxiety and
Depression.
My point
of writing this report is it can be rather shocking to how long it takes for a
lot of people to come to terms with what we have been through in our lives.
Many of us can think we have come to terms with these things but it's not
always the case depending what people have gone through, how bad it has been
for them and badly it has affect them.

Introduction of Anxiety.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a feeling of worry and even anger whether we have a
reason to feel that way or not. We all worry about something or someone one
time or the other but it’s more of a worry for those of us who worry a lot. To
worry about an exam, driving lesson or test and or etc is normal for everyone.
There are 40
million adults in American who suffer from Anxiety, please find out online
roughly how many people suffer from Anxiety?
Depression awareness.
·
Depression is a feeling of sadness.
·
A loss of energy the person doesn't have any
get up and go.
·
With another person there’s no stop in them
but other people could be different day to day.
·
Some people can't cope without anything
happening in their lives.
·
Some people could over eat.
·
Others may not eat enough but others could
vary from day to day.
·
Others lose interest in lives but others vary
day to day.
·
Most people with Depression guilty, shameful,
guilty, hopeless, and helpless and as if they are doing something wrong all the
while.
·
Most
people with disabilities and health problems feel they are made to feel like a
Burton because society tends to see us as hard work and costing too much money.
There are at least five forms of
Anxiety.
· Panic disorder
· Phobias
· Post- traumatic stress disorder.
· Social Anxiety disorder (social
phobia)
· General Anxiety, which is all the
Anxieties all in one.
Anxiety can be mostly linked to
Depression.
Is or can Anxiety and Depression be a
birth to life time health problem?
What is depression and Anxiety?
What is depression?
• Stress is the biggest killer of all,
which can give us Anxiety a sense of worrying, panicking and anger.
• The purpose of this powerpoint is to
raise awareness of Anxiety, stress and Depression.
• Mental health awareness needs to be
raised all year round not just once a year.
• The way the Tory government has
treated people for the last six years is enough to make the most poor and most vulnerable depressed.
• In February we had mental Health
and Depression week.
• We all know that Depression is a
mental health and it needs to be understood.
• We feel sad and angrily.
• There are other Mental Health problems
like Anxiety and stress.
Therefore without knowing we all could suffer from Anxiety,
Depression and stress anytime, anyplace and anywhere.
o
Understanding Anxiety and depression.
• Depression and Anxiety is a feeling of
sadness and anger whether you have a reason to feel depressed or not.
• Depression and Anxiety makes you
feel alone whether you are or not.
• You are not alone if you mix
with others who suffer from Anxiety and Depression but raise more understanding
to those who don’t suffer from it.
• We shouldn't make a person with
Depression feel bad if they feel sad for no reason.
• No one should be made to
feel bad about them.
We can be so easily be misunderstood by others for
someone we are not.
This is because depression is a hidden mental health
problem.

· Everyone in the world has faults we
are all to blame for something but not everything but then having disabilities
and health problems doesn’t help or excuse us to be treated any different than
other people.
· We may not always be aware
of the way we may say or and do things to how it may sound to others.
· This can make us misunderstood.
·
· Others may find it hard to
understand if you are feeling down for no reason.
· If we have depression it’s part
of us whether we like it or not. Naturally those without Depression don't understand us.
·
· Most of us may find it easy to
be alone so others don’t misunderstand them and don't make them feel bad about
ourselves.
How can depression be understood?
Never Say health
problems are all negative, there are famous and talented people with health
problems even or and disabilities.
When I say depression is a feeling of sadness it doesn’t
mean we always showing sadness.
A lot of
comedy famous actors who make us laugh suffer from Depression as well.
· A lot of people find it hard to
understand how people who can make us laugh can feel so sad.
· Robin Williams took his own life in
2014 last year.
· People with Anxiety and Depression
have to hide so much of everything it’s the easiest way for us to cope without
being misunderstood.
· It doesn't mean that everyone with
Anxiety and Depression despite of how hard it is there are most people who can
fight it.
· That doesn't make people who have
taken their own life as losers.
· Society is a loser because of the way
it treats and misunderstands us.
People with Anxiety and Depression have a fight with our
minds because we don’t stop thinking.
It takes a long fight with the mind for us to be
truly happy.
For others life is too much to stay alive.
For most of us we don’t know our strength, we are strong
than we think.
Crises like broken down relationships or the death of
someone a person knows can play a big part on someone’s Anxiety and Depression.
· These things happen to everyone but
everyone deals with it in different ways.
· I even found for years after my last
relationship broke up I put the blame to all myself.
· I wondered whether or not I did or said
anything I was unaware of that seemed wrong unfair to him, even though he was
just as bad.
· In nearly eight years of our break
after 13 and half years I have had at least six lots of counselling.
· I am please to say now I had four
sessions left, which I have cancelled due to my work and my new partner I don’t
them.
· Now I am all for helping other who is
going through not much different to me.
Its turns out my last counsellor said I was suffering from
Mental abuse from my ex partner who made feel as if everything was my fault yet
he could never make up his mind what he wanted.
How does your counselling work
out for you?
I must admit I have not had a
bad experience with counselling but there are lots of people who
have.
· There's a big certain that one day but
then may be not that the government may cut the funding on these counselling
services.
· Due to the fact GPs are not trained in
mental health, counsellors, Health centres and hospitals have their work cut
out.
· People with mental health problems
once something is on the mind it’s on the mind until it is sorted.
· This is one of the reasons why we
should be trying harder to save the NHS.
· Due to my work I hadn’t got time to
attend my next four counselling sessions so they sent me a feedback form.
I wrote to my counsellor to thank her.
· She made me aware that I
suffered Mental abuse with my ex partner for 13 and a half years and for a fair
few years after we split for good, which had played a lot on my
Anxiety and depression.
The last counselling service I used to go had they are
having changes in their funding for counselling.
I had told my counsellor that I am a learning disability
and mental health awareness trainer.
· I wrote to my counsellor to tell her
counselling is needed mainly for vulnerable people who have gone through rape or
and abuse.
· There are certain issues that
vulnerable people find hard to overcome compared to other people.
I used to
wish I wasn’t born.
· My ex made me feel as if everything
was my entire fault.
· I had to stop putting all the
blame on me.
· I use to blame myself a lot.
No one is perfect but no one can be blame for everything.
Just because you see someone smiles doesn’t mean we
are happy, this is our way of fighting our health problems.
We don’t show sadness all the while because learn to live
with our health problems.
Most of us have good days and bad days like other people.
It can be a long fight with the mind for someone with
Anxiety and Depression to make them truly happy.
If we all went along with long faces all the time none of
us would get through our health problems.
People who suffer from Anxiety and Depression aren’t all
negative all the time.
Every day and night is a fight with the mind for people with
mental health problems.
We do our best to be strong minded people.
Society
is weak by not having any faith in us by trying to make us.
We
shouldn’t have to be negative all the while to prove we have health problems.
Society fails to understand us.
Inside our smiling faces we feel sad but not
necessary all the while.
Different people who have Anxiety and Depression and other
health problems are affected in different ways.
The same goes for confidence and self – esteem.
Some people can’t bear to not going to work or college where
at others like to say at home.
For a least the last six years, there’s has been a lot
of job losses due to the credit crunch.
Anxiety and Depression affects you on and off through your
life, it’s more stress because it’s there for you long term.
We mustn’t let the government beat us despite of how hard
they make life for us.
Different people cope with life in different ways.
GPs are not trained to do a lot of work but they are
doing more hours than what they are trained for.
People with disabilities and health problems have been
having health checkups since 2008.
· Not all surreys do health checkups.
· Not all surreys that do checkups do
full health checkups.
· They say there’s not enough funding
but it doesn't make sense to why GPs are working a lot of hours.
It's a huge certain that Gaps are not trained to treat
Mental health problems this is why they referral patients to Counselling
services and clinics.
Patients who have lost their benefits can’t get
counselling because benefits pay for counselling.
· This is a huge worry because if they
lose their benefits there’s more of a need for counselling.
· Everyone who has Mental Health
problems have different ways of managing our Mental Health for example many
people with.
· http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/our-
http://www.wcvb.com/health/14414700 https://uk.pinterest.co.uk
· Funding needs to keep coming for
Mental Health services.
· How long is going to be until the
government make cuts on the counselling services to a point even people on
benefits can access counselling?
· I find working helps me
manage my Anxiety and Depression better so do many others like me.
· You can only work a certain amount
hours on top of benefits but it’s better than doing nothing all.
· Other people may find working makes
their Anxiety and Depression worse.
· People with disabilities and health
problems can be talented.

I will be honest to say the Mental Health Awareness wasn't just February but it
was all of the month. Even though it's now March, all awareness is necessary to
rise when it comes to people needing to be understood when they have problems
that others don't understand. For example Dementia which I don't know a lot
about myself but I know it can happen to all kinds of people. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=103

· The stress of the benefit cuts are
making people with disabilities and health problems unwell.
· Many people have had suicidal thoughts
and many have taken their own lives.
· When people have had their benefits
cut there's no money for counselling for those who really need it.
· With the cuts the government has made
it's surprising there are some Counselling services open but for how long for,
even for those who haven't lost their benefits.
