Mental Health

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle
stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is
important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through
adulthood.

Mental illness refers to diagnosable mental disorders characterized by

alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior associated with distress and
impaired functioning.

Most mental health problems diagnosed in adulthood begin in adolescence.

Half of the lifetime diagnosable mental health disorders start by age 14; this
number increases to three fourths by age 24. Thee most common disorders

Two Categories of Stress:

1. Eustress is a positive stress.

2. Distress is a negative stress.

Kinds of Stressors:

The five kinds of stressors are:

 Acute time-limited
 Brief naturalistic
 Stressful events sequences
 Chronic
 Distant

Acute Time-Limited Stressors

Acute time-limited stressors are ones given in a controlled environment such as a lab.
If you are part of a study, the tech may present you with a stimulus that causes some

level of anxiety for you. This could be presenting you with something that you have a

phobia of or making you do something you don't feel comfortable doing. The stressor

sparks intense stress but only for the time it takes to illicit a response.

Brief Naturalistic Stressors

Brief naturalistic stressors are ones that occur naturally in your environment such as

taking a test. The stress you experience usually only lasts for the time you are in the

stressful situation.

Stressful Events Sequences

Stressful events sequences happen when there is a traumatic event that causes

additional stressors. An example of this is if you are a victim of a natural disaster and

then have to deal with the loss of loved ones, belongings, and pulling your life back

together.

Chronic Stressors

Chronic stressors are situations that happen that force you to change your identity or

social roles. If you become disabled, you will need to adjust your life to accommodate

your disabilities.

Distant Stressors

Distant stressors are stress that happened a long time ago but continue to affect your

immune system negatively because of emotional and cognitive issues. Some

examples of distant stressors include:

 Child abuse
 Prisoner of war
 Loss of a loved one
Common Effects of Stress:

On your body On your mood On your behavior

Headache Anxiety Overeating or under-eating

Chest pain Lack of motivation or focus Drug or alcohol misuse

Fatigue Feeling overwhelmed Tobacco use
