Are Bad Times Healthy?, Tara Parker-Pope, The New York Times, October 7, 2008Economic studies suggest that during boom times most people don’t take good care of themselves. They drink too much, overeat, and avoid exercise because they’re too busy. In the past, during hard times people were healthier and death rates due to cardiovascular disease and automobile accidents declined.2. The Perils of Higher Education, Steven Kotler, Psychology Today, March/April 2005While college is a place to learn and grow, for many students it becomes four years of sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, and excessive use of alcohol. While the negative health behaviors of college students are detrimental to their overall health, there is evidence that engaging in these poor health habits can be devastating to learning and memory.3. Mars vs. Venus: The Gender Gap in Health, Harvard Men’s Health Watch, January 2010Biological factors account for part of the gender gap though from teenage years onward, male health behaviors are the primary cause why men get sick younger and die faster than women. These behaviors include aggression and violence, alcohol and substance abuse, diet, lack of exercise, and less consistent medical care.4. Carrots, Sticks, and Health Care Reform—Problems with Wellness Incentives, Harald Schmidt, Kristin Voigt, and Daniel Wikler, New England Journal of Medicine, January 20, 2010Chronic medical conditions, particularly those linked to obesity, are increasing in the United States. Employers have used incentives as well as penalties to support healthier behaviors. The authors support incentives to increase health-supporting behaviors but caution that there can be negative effects as well.UNIT 2: Stress and Mental HealthUnit Overview5.

And what is the distinction between normal and abnormal responses to life’s circumstances? Dr. Pies believes that it’s valuable to treat individuals with profound sadness as depressed and continue to provide whatever therapeutic treatment will make the patient feel better.6. “I Can’t Let Anything Go:” A Case Study with Psychological Testing of a Patient with Pathologic Hoarding, Janna Koretz and Thomas G. Gutheil, American Journal of Psychotherapy, November 3, 2009Compulsive hoarders are unable to dispose of their possessions without severe anxiety. As a result, hoarders often accumulate huge quantities of items, often in such amounts that they are unable to move within their homes. The condition, linked to obsessive compulsive disorder, is a challenge to mental health providers.7. Seasonal Affective Disorder, Stephen J. Lurie et al., American Family Physician, November 1, 2006Individuals with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) experience periods of major depression that typically occur during the winter when there is less light during the day. Therapy includes light treatment as well as drug and cognitive behavior therapy.8.
