Cause And Effect Of A Gunshot Wound Be Treated With Affirmations And Prayer

Mental health services and mental health awareness will ensure that our youth are not only physically healthy but mentally as well. Although it is not always the youth who commit these violent acts involving guns, I believe that reaching the youth is the best way for prevention. Robert Ross said it best: “Early detection and treatment is the key. We need to reach troubled children when problems first emerge, while there’s still time to guide them back on the right track” (Ross, 2015, p. 507). According to the United States Government, one out of every four or five adolescents meets the specification for a mental disorder. However, Mental health not only refers to the lack of a mental disorder or disease, but also to well-being emotionally, socially, and psychologically. Children who are mentally healthy are able to adapt to their changing environment, develop healthy relationships, use coping techniques, and more (U.S Government, n.d.). It is important to understand what mental health is and means so that society may better recognize an individual that does not quite meet those metal health standards; this will better aid us in violence prevention.

When El-ahrairah and Rabscuttle decided to search out a land for some rabbits wishing to start a warren, they had no idea what they were in for. With bad air, columns of hot water shooting into the sky, and mysterious creatures, will they make it out of the Burning Valley alive?

For many centuries there has been multiple arguments about what causes mental illness. Hebrews believed that mental illness was a punishment from god for those who sinned. The way they cured one another was spiritually and through health. They believed that if you had a healthy diet that it would prevent you from any diseases. The physicians were also priests who had “special ways” to heal with higher powers. The biggest theory was that whoever had a mental illness was caused from supernatural forces. There had been many different treatments to help cure ones suffering. Dating back to 5000 BCE was the first treatment preformed on record, showing that one would chip a hole into the human skull to release evil spirits. Later on, the Ancient Egyptians

Furthermore, mental illness is turning out to be a major cause of gun violence, in order to reduce gun crimes and instead of creating more laws and stipulations, steps must be taken. A professor at the University of Virginia and clinical psychologist, Dewey G. Cornell stated, ''We need to focus on prevention more broadly, before the violence, to have a real impact.'' (qtd. In Broader Approach). Some interpret that as, Americans need to stop focusing on the laws, and start realizing that dangerous situations, such as a mass shooting, can be prevented by recognizing the signs. Countless individuals are beginning to share his feelings. Some mentally ill people are starting to have a major part in mass shootings and those

Hester “felt herself no longer so inadequate to cope with Roger Chillingworth as on that night, abased by sin, and half maddened by the ignominy that was still new, when they had talked together in the prison-chamber. She had climbed her way, since then, to a higher point” (138). At the beginning of Chapter 2, Hester first sees Roger Chillingworth in the audience as she is standing on the scaffold. There, he took “possession of her thoughts” (52), filling her with such fear that she pressed her child close to her bosom with a “convulsive force” (52). Later on, Roger Chillingworth visits Hester in her prison cell, and is revealed to be her husband, someone who has been missing for the past two years. Throughout Chapters

Healthcare professionals see the aftermath of gun violence. Many healthcare professionals support gun control (Healthcare professionals speak out on guns: “Definitely changed my opinion on the 2nd amendment…”, n.d.). These professionals see patients with gunshot wounds (GSW) who are bystander victims, children who accidentally obtain a GSW through play with guns, results of gang violence, and the list goes on (Healthcare professionals speak out on guns: “Definitely changed my opinion on the 2nd amendment…”, n.d.). Blood banks are drained by these events (Gun Violence: A Public Health Crisis, 2017). Nurses and paramedics admit to being afraid of treating a GSW patient because a shooter may come to “finish the job” (Healthcare professionals speak

With mental illness identified as a very probable cause of these shootings, it is critical that the evidently poor and ineffective clinical help for mental disorders be reevaluated. A theoretical explanation for the modern prevalence of mental illness could be the increasingly optional nature of treatment: therapy is a choice, and checking into a facility or institution is

In his essay “We need to stop the next Aurora Not with Gun Control but with Better Mental Health Treatment” David R. Dow explains how gun control is not the problem in mass shootings. Instead mental health is the real problem. I also believe what Dow expresses in his essay. If we help those whom we ignore and pretend aren’t there then these violent crimes will start to disappear. He wrote the essay to help prevent more shootings, by informing the public on what the real problem is.

The debate over gun control is not a new argument, neither is the existence of mental illness. There have been those who support and those who oppose gun control for many years. What has recently re-ignited the debate is an increase in mass shootings over the past few decades; one in particular is the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre. Incidents, such as this, fuel anger and fear, driving many to question the need for firearms in modern society, while others cite these incidents as a reason for remaining armed. The purpose of gun control is to limit the amount of violence in today’s

When the human body falls ill will disease, sickness, or an injury a person’s automatic response is to seek out a professional to uncover the root of the problem to then treat the said illness. A sick body will show physical symptoms of distress when trying to restore its homeostasis, but what if the mind, not the body, is ill? Recovering from a broken bone would simply call for a cast and time to allow the body to heal itself. Now instead of a broken bone, imagine a person has traumatizing daily nightmares, physical weakness, the loss of appetite and even energy. To treat said problems one must first realize this is a mental illness. These symptoms will be diagnosed as Ghost Sickness, which is a type of mental illness called a culture bound syndrome. This illness is said to be culturally bound because, instead of like most mental illnesses that can be generalized to anyone around the world, it only affects individuals found in a specific culture and/or geographic location.

Before the sandy hook shooting, there were many cases where mental illness was tied with the cause of horrible events. In no way am I saying that those who are mentally disordered are bad people, but rather the opposite. They are individuals who need extra help in certain areas of functioning, and frankly, there wasn’t much of an effort in providing the help they needed. However, the sandy hook shooting acted as a catalyst in getting people to actually do something about it and provide care to those who need it. This provided care has been a blessing to individuals I know personally who have needed extra help, as well as their families. About a few weeks before the new town shooting, my best friend’s older brother was beginning to become mentally unstable and started becoming violent, which was highly unlike him. They went to get him examined by doctors but the doctors refused to examine him. After the shooting, the doctors examined him and found that he had a form of autism that was causing his aggression and made a steadfast effort to get him treatment. Sandy Hook helped lead to a wider range of treatment for mentally ill individuals that has been a blessing to

In today's world there is a big debate on what we should do with guns. Some think we should ban guns, or limit gun possession. Others think we should keep our guns, after all, we have the Second Amendment, which protects the right for civilians to bear arms. But i believe there is another option, I think there is a link between the mass shootings and mental disabilities and diseases, and if that’s true, we should worry about that. According

Well first off, I obviously feel that gun violence is a public health issue. The reason for that is because at this point it is considered a Health Crisis (or Public Health Crisis). This means “a difficult situation or complex health system that affects humans in one or more geographic areas from a particular locality to encompass the entire planet.” It is considered that because now the amount of people affected by gun violence is so high that guns are ahead of HIV, Parkinson's, Malnutrition, Anemia, Viral Hepatitis, and much more for cause of deaths. Yet the funding for research for gun violence is very low compared to the other leading causes of deaths in the United States.

The spiritual significance of illness and suffering is a topic Christians continue to grapple with, as Larchet points out in The Theology of Illness. Scripture offers a wealth of wisdom and cues for understanding illness, health, and healing from a Christian perspective. Larchet analyzes the various and often contradictory Christian positions on health and illness, revealing how attitudes have shifted over time and with changes in medical technology, practice, and ethics. For example, St. Barsanuphius presents a comprehensive analysis of the spiritual significance of illness and suffering. One view holds that illness signifies a lack of faith; another presents illness in terms of a person who is offered the opportunity to develop a stronger faith, or whose faith is being put to a test like the story of Job. Ultimately, the latter remains the most helpful way to approach illness and healing from a Christian perspective. The essence of Christian health care is that, "Healing itself, while resulting from natural processes, actually comes from God," (Larchet 116).

Mental illness becomes a bigger issue with a long lasting cultural stereotyped due to the manner in which it has long been labelled (Miles, 1988). Although mental illness is very much connected to instabilities in one’s mental health state, as previously mentioned, a person can be mentally healthy but still suffer from a mental illness. What is understood by mental illness is that it
