 Treatment Overview

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the required chapters from the text and review the required articles for this week. Over the course of the past weeks, we have considered the use of medications in the treatment of various psychological disorders. This discussion will provide you with an opportunity to give an informed appraisal on the use of drugs to treat disorders and defend your stance based on your judgment of the literature. In your initial post, describe what you believe are the greatest strengths and weaknesses of using the medications to treat psychological disorders.  Evaluate the employment of psychoactive drugs in the treatment of disorders over the lifespan from both an ethical and risk-benefits perspective. Summarize the theories of psychiatric disease and the scientific rationale behind its treatment through the employment of drug therapies. Explain what you believe to be the greatest challenges in the use of psychoactive medications over the next several years. Support your statements with references and logical arguments.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. Evaluate and describe the quality of your colleague’s argument. How did he or she use the literature to support the statements made? Do you agree with the argument and your colleague’s choice of the greatest challenges? Why, or why not? Did your colleague provide convincing data for this position? What insights did your colleague include that you had not considered? What might you suggest your colleague consider which was not included? Please use your research to support your assertions. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

According to the Health Determinants video, the determinants of health are biological and genetic makeup, individual behavior, social interactions and norms, and physical environment. The video introduced an elderly man named James who lives in a low-income neighborhood and does not have close access to the grocery store to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Therefore, his environment puts him at risk for getting diabetes because he gets most of his food from convenience stores and fast food restaurants. Interventions to solve health disparities involve information, policies and programs. The intervention proposed for James is to introduce a subsidized farmers market that is walking distance in his neighborhood for low-income seniors (Determinants of Health, 2020). 

           In my experience, I know an elderly individual who is in the same situation as James from the video. She currently does not live near a supermarket and has to take the bus which is more difficult now because of COVID. I have convinced her son to move her to another apartment complex that has a market attached to the first floor so it is walking distance. I believe that the change in environment would benefit her health.

ne of the patient encounters in which I experienced a health disparity, that was a determinant of the patient’s health was when I attended a patient in a marginalized minority who was unable to pay for her medical bills. Being from a low-income household that has been disadvantaged for a long time, the patient experienced a disparity in health conditions due to their social and economic history. There was credible proof that this patient, who was from a disadvantaged low-income group, faced systemic barriers to receiving quality and affordable health care (Adler et al., 2016).

The state of health of this patient was very serious and emergency medical attention was needed to save her life.  Any delay in providing this patient with basic treatment would minimize her chances of survival. However, by being a victim of health inequality, an opportunity came up to assist her to gain access to healthcare services (Wilhelm & Allen, 2018).I exploited the opportunity and acted by engaging the hospital social worker to help her secure healthcare services without the financial burden and. However, the social worker responded but failed to provide a comprehensive solution to this patient, making my efforts to help the patient futile. The social worker did not provide the financial assistance and only requested for crowd funding to be organized to raise the costs of the healthcare service (Marmot, 2018).

Should such a case present itself the next time, I would consider seeking intervention from the hospital management to put such a patient under persons with special interests who require affirmative health care services. I would also encourage such patients to secure public health insurance to enable them to access medical services without having to pay out of pocket. Such a different approach to a similar situation in the future will help me achieve a positive outcome in solving the challenges caused by health disparities and achieving health equity for all populations.

Descartes argued that human beings are made up of two things:  A mind (res cogito, or “thinking substance”), and a body (res extensa, or “extended substance”). These two substances are exact opposites: the mind is invisible and possesses no mass or shape, the body is visible and has mass and shape. The idea that we are both a mind and a body, and the two interact (my mind decides to raise my left arm, and the arm moves)  is called Cartesian Dualism.  

But some have argued that Cartesian Dualism is philosophically impossible.  For if a mind has no mass, no weight, and is not extended in space…..how can it move, or be moved by, my body?  It should go through my body like a ghost!  Note: the brain is also a part of our physical body.  In a nutshell, the mind-body problem is the question of how two substances which have nothing in common (one having mass and the other not) can interact with each other.  

Because of the difficulty of this problem, some philosophers have embraced materialism: the doctrine that there is no separate substance called mind, and that thoughts and feelings are nothing but neurological activities in the brain (everything is physical).  Others have accepted idealism: the idea that everything that exists is made of mind, and the material universe is an illusion.

The question:

1) First, define, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, both Cartesian Dualism and the mind-body problem. 

2) Answer: Do you accept Cartesian Dualism: namely, that we are both a mind and a body?  If so, how do you resolve the mind-body problem?  If you don’t accept Cartesian Dualism, explain why not. Perhaps you are sympathetic to materialism or idealism (see the prior paragraph).

Respond in a 3-4 paragraph essay.  I will be grading you in regards to how well you grasp the concepts, and how much thought and reflection you place into your answer.

There are several standardized training events in large organizations that are required annually or biannually. One of these is often sexual harassment. For this assignment, write a training plan for all employees in your firm to educate and develop their awareness of sexual harassment and understanding of legal and organizational policies. Be sure to include training aspects of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.  

 

This plan should be in narrative form with a minimum requirement of 800 words. Discuss the following guidelines to complete your plan. 

 

 Planning: Should all employees be trained at once? If not, who should be trained first? What are the anticipated outcomes or terminal learning objectives of the training?   Design: In what format should the training be given, and why? What modalities will be used for employees on multiple shifts or in multiple locations? What are the core elements of the training that will align with the learning objectives?  Implementation: Who will lead the training, and how will it be implemented? Will you be training for knowledge or behavior change? How will you conduct the actual training to account for knowledge and/or behavioral change?  Evaluation: How will you know if the training was successful? What measures will you use to know if employees 1) learned from the training, 2) behaved differently after the training, and 3) the training has a bottom line impact to the firm?
