Musa Jennifer Musa Dr. James Wright ENG 1302 04/7/2024 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Scheid, Teresa L., and Tony N. Brown, editors. “A Handbook for the Study of Mental Health: Social Contexts, Theories, and Systems”. 2nd ed., Cambridge University Press, 2009. 1) The second edition of this handbook was published in 2009. While not the most recent source, it still provides highly relevant and comprehensive coverage of the sociology of mental health. The 2009 publication date allows the handbook to serve as a solid foundation for understanding the historical and theoretical context, while additional more recent sources can be used to cover current issues and research. 2) Teresa L. Scheid is a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Tony N. Brown is an associate professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University. Both editors have extensive expertise in the sociology of mental health, with numerous publications on topics such as stigma, social support, and the organisation of mental health services. Their involvement as editors and contributors lends strong credibility to the handbook. 3) The book provides a comprehensive summary of the social contexts, theories, and systems of mental health. It covers topics such as mental health treatment, the history of mental health, and social and cultural factors influencing mental health. It provides a critical assessment of the current state of mental health research, including the limitations and challenges of researching mental health. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of mental health issues from a social
Musa and cultural perspective. However, its age may limit its usefulness for those seeking up-to-date information on current mental health issues. Charlson, F.J., van Ommeren, M., Flaxman, A.D., et al.. New WHO prevalence estimates of mental disorders in conflict settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis 1) The article was published recently in 2019, so the information is current and relevant for understanding how common mental disorders are in areas affected by conflict. The authors looked at studies and data up to 2018, giving a complete and up-to-date view of the latest research on this topic. 2)The authors are a team of researchers with expertise in global mental health, epidemiology, and public health. ● Fiona Charlson and Mark van Ommeren are from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at the World Health Organization(WHO). ● Abraham Flaxman is from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. ● Jennifer Cornett is from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at WHO. ● Harvey Whiteford is from the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research in Australia. ● Shekhar Saxena is from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at WHO. 3) This recent study aimed to provide updated estimates from the World Health Organization on how common mental disorders are in populations affected by conflict. The researchers thoroughly searched for relevant published studies and unpublished reports to find the best available data. They only included surveys that diagnosed mental disorders using standard psychiatric criteria. The analysis found that depression and anxiety were more common in women than men in conflict settings. Rates of depression, PTSD, and anxiety increased with age. However, screening tools tended to overestimate prevalence compared to diagnostic interviews. A limitation was the lack of studies on psychosis and bipolar disorder in conflict zones, so the authors had to use global averages for those disorders. Despite this, the article presents the most current and comprehensive estimates of mental disorder burden in conflict-affected populations. It underscores the major mental health needs in these settings and the importance
Musa of expanding research and mental health services. The advanced statistical methods and consideration of many factors strengthen confidence in the findings. Phelan, Jo C., Bruce G.
