Styron & Jamison on Depression
[ send me this paper ]
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. No additional sources cited.

Substance Abuse Among The Mentally Ill
[ send me this paper ]
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.

Suicidal Ideation Not Necessarily Associated With Bipolar Disorder
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. There is little in the way of mental health issues that is not misconstrued or embellished to the point where the erroneous assertion becomes interwoven within the disorder's foundation. Those who are diagnosed as bipolar face the suicidal stigma on a regular basis not only from laypeople who clearly do not know better but also from mental health professionals who too quickly cast a broad brush of homogeny. The single greatest influence that removes suicidal tendencies from the basic description of bipolar disorder is the growing trend toward treatment that addresses both the emotional and physiological components at the same time. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Susanna Kaysen's "Girl, Interrupted"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. There exist myriad influences that can prompt a person into sidestepping what is considered to be normal behavior. Susanna Kaysen's "Girl, Interrupted" strives to answer the long-standing and elusive question: What is normal? When Kaysen was eighteen years old, even then at such a young age she realized that she did not respond to conventional social cues as set down by societal dictates. Her literary account relives her eighteen months worth of sometimes harrowing and other times enlightening experiences, all put forth for the sole purpose of opening eyes and minds to the reality of mental illness. The writer discusses Kaysen's account, as well as draws parallels with Tamara L. Roleff's "Mental Illness (Opposing Viewpoints)" and Gerald Grob's "The Mad Among Us : A History of the Care of America's Mentally Ill." Bibliography lists 8 sources.
