In this case, it would be family-separation crisis. A story of an immigrant’s journey to the United States, tells of how “Mrs. K. had experienced the separation from her family as though it were an amputation of parts of herself without which she could not live. The quiet sustaining functions of her mother, her sisters, and the ever-present sights, sounds, smells, and textures of the other were abruptly gone” leading to her being in a depressional state. However, while Mrs. Kosawa’s story isn’t a unique story that many wouldn’t come by through their life, many immigrants have felt a desperation to see their friends and families during this long-distance separation. A person that abruptly moves from their home, doesn’t fully comprehend the

Distance and separation is a key theme in the memoir, “Brother, I’m Dying,” by Edwidge Danticat. In her book, Danticat writes about how she was separated from her father, Mira, who went to live in the United States when she was two years old and she was then separated from her mother two years later. After ten years of being under her uncle’s care, Edwidge and Bob were then sent to live with their parents after they had been approved for their citizenship, but Edwidge shows that she feels unsure about moving with people who felt more like strangers than parents. Once she left for New York, you can see that, although she is returning to her father, she is now being separated from someone who she loved- her uncle, Mira. Throughout the book, you
An advocacy group called Cajun Association for Legalization of Marijuana that has always had peaceful protests has now started a conversation among the community regarding their events continuing too late into the night and many noise complaints have been filed.

The sense of kinship and familiarity one previously had is gone and replace with crippling loneliness and fear of a new,strange world.

China is the world’s most populated country with the population of 1.3 billion people. Since there were so many people in China they had to think about a way to control population so this is where the one-child policy was made. It officially restricts married, urban couples to having only one child, while allowing exemptions for several cases, including twins. This policy was introduced in 1978 and initially applied to first-born children from 1979. The policy is enforced at the local level through fines that are imposed based on the income of the family and other factors.
Due to socioeconomic, cultural, and, after the past few election cycles in the United States, political adversity that immigrants have to endure, it is not surprising that some immigrant populations, namely the working poor, manifest various mental health issues at higher rates than the rest of the population. According to much research, "evidence is overwhelming that certain immigrant groups. . . suffer a greater incidence of schizophrenia" also noting that the "risk increases with length of residence in the host country and the risk is even more severe in the second generation" (Whitley 1073). There are a number of pre-migratory, post-migratory factors that also include factors associated with the process of migration that most likely increase the incidence of mental health issues in immigrants, namely persecution, poverty, violence, famine, drought and other traumatic events that in addition to potentially arduous journeys to reach their destination and post-migratory factors included in the term "marginalization" that make it easy to see why immigrants would have a higher incidence of psychopathology like schizophrenia, developmental disorders in children, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety (Whitley 1073). Many of these issues compound after migration has taken place to manifest what has been called "social defeat." According to Whitley, "social defeat is an umbrella term that refers to various sociocultural (and economic) acute events and
The decision to relocate for many immigrants may be due to many challenging and stressful experiences (Yakushko and Chronister 2005). Even if the move was by choice, relocating takes a great amount of planning and pressure. The move often brings with it a great amount of losses of connections with family and friends from home. The pre-migration stress is very challenging. Stressors continue to be significant after relocating. Immigration challenges are stronger in immigrants than in normal demographics. Demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status,
After migration when they reach a safe country they do not know how to react. Many refugees suffer from depression and PTSD from witnessing the loss of their leaders or loved ones and even from witnessing mass killings, causing them to be distant and not make any effort to get help. They do not understand involvement in their community when they have reached a safe location. The refugee groups stay together and do not against each other fearing one will or could be killed. At refugee camps, many make the camp a big family from hearing and understanding other victims stories, creating bonds.
The thesis of this article is how immigrants and refugees experience stress and mental health issues when permanently migrating to another country and how medical professionals attempt to identify and address the issues. When immigrants and refugees lack social acceptance, alienation, rejection and other adversities they are subjected to mental and psychological issues during the experience of migrating.
The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems. Many of them succeeded and found the better future they were looking for. Many others found only hardship and experienced the destruction of their hopes and dreams. All of them were transformed.

Our child welfare system is crowded with children removed from homes that have been deemed unfit. These children face many physical and psychological problems throughout their lives. They have often been neglected and abused both mentally and physically. Children who are removed from their homes are also being taken away from their primary caregiver who they have become attached to. This can cause difficulty later when the children are reunited with their families. In the study Young Children in Brief Separation, done by Robertson and Robertson, they found that even in stable families, during brief separations from the family, upon reunion children tended to show increased hostility towards the mother (p. 306). Though society wants to protect
