    I am so happy that I attended this "Beating Anxiety" session because I was able to learn a lot about the mental illness that affects millions including myself. At this session, I learned exactly what anxiety is a disorder, how it affects your brain and body, and how to treat and prevent further anxiety. One fact that I found interesting was that the fight, flight, and freeze response correlates and can be used to describe the three steps of long term anxiety which are anxiety, procrastination, and depression. I was so engaged in learning all of the facts of anxiety, especially as a first-year student because beginning college can be extremely stressful. This is because college students are entering adulthood, changing environments, taking classes,…

    Jill Allene, RN, visited Gus, an elderly patient at a hospice clinic. The next day Gus swallowed a lethal mixture of medications that had been prescribed by his physician, and fell into a deep sleep. He died soon after.

It wasn't the unrelenting surges of pain or incapacitating waves of nausea that encouraged Gus to call it quits; it was an unquenchable thirst for autonomy. Pulmonary disease didn't kill Gus – Gus killed himself. (Nursing Spectrum 6)…

    A social problem that I would recommend intervention and social change to is the rate of suicide, especially among college students and young adults. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for college students, and the third among young adults. The main cause for this issue is untreated mental illnesses, specifically depression. Depression spikes in college students as they are exposed to new, typically stressful, environments. Although we have made some progress, our society is still wrapped up in the stigma surrounding mental illness. Young adults are afraid to seek help for fear of being labeled, and often they do not know where to go for help or do not live in an area where help is readily available. I believe an elimination of the…
