Styron & Jamison on Depression
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page book review that compares 2 autobiographical texts on depression. William Styron (Darkness Visible, 1990) and Kay Redfield Jamison (An Unquiet Mind, 1997) have written detailed autobiographical accounts of their experiences with mental illness. Styron, a noted author, at the age of sixty found himself plunged into despair by pathological depression. Jamison, a noted psychiatrist, records how she was plagued by bipolar disorder throughout her life. In both texts, these authors relate first-hand accounts that give the details of the internal and external ramifications of their disease. In so doing, they provide the reader with accounts that have profound sociological and psychological effects by accurately describing what it is like to experience these mental disorders.

Substance Abuse Among The Mentally Ill
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Learning to live with one mental disorder is more than enough of a challenge for most people; having that reality intensified by adding substance abuse to the mix makes one's existence on earth a struggle at best and a life threatening confrontation at worst. The coupling of mental illness and substance abuse represents a situation where one disorder leads to the other by virtue of being out of touch with reality; engaging in drug use often occurs when mentally ill individuals drift toward other subgroups where such abuse is a common denominator between and among the members. In order to address the duality of mental illness and substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy is a recommended approach to reconstruct the way in which the individual perceives his or her entire external and internal environment. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Substance Abuse And Cognitive Behavior Therapy
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper. Cognitive behavior therapy joins two effective approaches, cognitive therapy and behavior therapy, with the objective of changing both the individual's thinking patterns and the habitual behavioral reactions to certain internal and external stimuli. All three of these models have been found to be successful in treating a plethora of conditions. At least one research study concluded that combining cognitive behavior therapy with family based therapy was even more effective in reducing substance abuse among adolescents. But, why is it that the research reports different results when the same approach is used to treat substance abuse? This essay concludes with an answer to this question. Includes half-page abstract. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
