that affects people regardless of age, education, race, religion. This disease causes people to forget their own life and change their personality. Though these patients naturally get frustrated with the memory loss, but their loved ones have a hard time dealing with these changes. Providing support for these loved ones is very important in holistic nursing. Many go through caregiver strain and get frustrated. Giving them the support, they need will in turn improve the care these patients receive as well.

negative feelings that impact a person’s appetite, sleeping habits, hobbies, and work
responsibilities, for more than two weeks.
However, depressive symptoms are not unique to MDD, and these depressive symptoms can
manifest as milder disorders, or as a symptom in different, rarer depressive disorders. While
there are over a dozen proposed types of depression, the most common include:
Major depressive disorder – also known as a clinical or severe depression, this is usually what
depression refers to.

Discrimination and Mental Health
Throughout the history of the world, discrimination in all forms has been a constant
battle; whether its race, gender, religion, beliefs, appearance or anything else that makes one
person different from another, it’s happening every day. It is an issue that affects many lives and
it's found nearly anywhere and almost impossible to hide. It's found in communities and spotted
even in the workplace. Few would argue with the belief that discrimination continues to be a
problem in U.S. society, or that historical and current injustices have contributed to everything
from economic inequalities to mental health outcomes. We now have decades of research

Working in education is exciting yet highly demanding, especially when teenagers are in the picture. The impact that a teacher may have on a teen’s development and
well-being is profound, and as a result the role of the teacher often
extends beyond the traditional classroom. This can be challenging
for some teachers, particularly when faced with mental health
problems that youth may be experiencing.
The mental health of students in schools is an often overlooked,
yet extremely relevant issue for today’s educator. In Canada,
between 15 and 20 percent of youth suffer from a mental disorder
that would benefit from professional care, and six to eight percent
of young people suffer from

The natural product sage has been shown in many case studies and experiments to induce generalized tonic seizures shortly after being ingested. This adverse effect is dose dependent and has a greater occurrence in children. Many physicians are simply unaware of the adverse effects of herbal medicines such as essential oils containing sage. This poses an issue in both healthcare and in public health as the use of herbal therapy is progressively increasing along with its ease of availability over the counter.

The Importance of Environment in Mental Illness
One in every four people experience mental health issues yet there is still a large
stigma around the issue, when in fact it could happen to anyone. A major false
perceptions of mental health is that a person is born with it or is predisposed due to
family history. Although this is true in some cases, mental health predominantly occurs
because of one's experiences throughout their life. They often stem from one’s youth
and without the proper treatment can become worse and worse overtime, much like a
physical illness. Over the past century the way we as a society deal with mental
disorders has drastically changed for the better. Psychologists

Nearly one in five older adults in America has at least one identified mental health concern (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Association of Chronic Disease Directors, 2008; Eden et al., 2012). Some of the most common disorders diagnosed among this population include depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. Depression alone affects more than 6.5 million of the 35 million Americans older than age 65 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Association of Chronic Disease Directors, 2008). Given that the number of adults older than age 65 is projected to surge from 40.3 million in 2010 to 72.1

Review of Literature
In some religions, there are underlying beliefs related health issues in general. For
example, in the Hindu religion illness is a manifestation of a spiritual problem or a spiritual inadequacy. While this belief may not be an overt in Christian faith, there is evidence to support that religious beliefs relate highly to one’s perception of health, wellness and illness (Behere, Das, Yadav, & Behere, 2013). There are many instances cited in the Bible that seem to directly relate to mental health

The End of Stigma
Mental health illnesses impact the lives of people and often plagues their life with
stigma as well as discrimination. Stigma is a reality for many people with a mental
illness, and they describe that how others judge them is one of their greatest barriers to
a complete and satisfying life. These mental illnesses are not “excuses” to skip school
or cannot be cured by “seeing a priest.” Mental health stigma is seen as a social
disgrace. The end of stigma begins with a spark, not only within us but within society,
within culture and within family. Stigma is a negative stereotype and can be seen as a
mark or disgrace associated with a circumstance, quality
