Ewart, Stephanie B., et al. Social and Matedrial Aspects of Life and Their Impact on the

Physical Health of People Diagnosed with Mental Illness.

The article will talk about the social and material aspects of people with mental

illness. The article will begin to speak about how people with mental illness will live

around 20 years shorter lives than the average person. The study that the authors did were

based on the health of a mental ill person, they looked at health service consumers

perspectives of physical health, including their experiences of interacting with health care

providers, and their views with respect to impediments to, and enablers of, physical well

being. They had consumers openly share their experience and opinions on the

informants who deal with mental health issues. They collaborated with the ACT Mental

Health Consumers Network. This association is a peak mental health consumer- run

public organization in the region. This study seemed to have resulted in showing how

oriented the health service context, a striking emphasis in all focus groups was the

salience of social and economic and discriminatory conditions The researchers went

in depth with the way they conducted the research to show the impact of how mental

illness will effect a persons life.

Ozer, Uron et al. Change starts with Us: Stigmatizing Attitudes Towards Mental Illnesses

and the Use of Stigmatizing Language Among Mental Health Professionals.

Individuals with mental illness are the ones who are the most vulnerable and yet

society will still proceed to say that it is not as important as physical illness. This article

will talk about the ways that mental illness effect people. Society now a day believes that

people with mental illness are dangerous, frightening, unstable, unpredictable and

irresponsible. The authors of this article wrote about their experiment on how society

will react towards anyone who has mental illness and what mental illness means to some

people. What they decided to do was to see how stigmatizing language effects the way

people would speak about mental illness. They conducted it during the summer of 2015.

They try to show you what is insanity and mental illness and how people in society

will distinguish the two. What they seemed to have found was people would relate mental

illness to insanity. Not only will the article speak on mental illness but it will also speak

about the mental illness workers and how important they are to the people with mental

health issues. The article spoke about the way society reacts to mental illness, the effects

and importance of mental health workers. The authors were looking for a way to view

ways on how to change society and how they view mental illness.

Reuben, Aaron and Jonathan Schaefer. Mental Illness Is Far More Common Than We

Knew.

This article will state how mental illness is far more important than what others consider

it is. They believe that people at least will develop one diagnosable mental disorder at

some point in their life, people will never get it checked out. The article states that 20 to

50 percent of the population will suffer from a mental illness. What the magazine

basically spoke about was how even if we dont know and it doesnt seem like it, a lot of

people have a mental illness. To some, though, the new statistics on mental illness rates

can sound a lot like the over medicalization of normal human experience. Advocates

for people with mental health concerns tend to disagree with this perspective. The

authors try to show how everyone will at least come to light about mental illness and that

it is something that should not be taken lightly. Mental illness should be taken seriously

and be spoken about a lot more.

Slate, Risdon N. DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION, CRIMINALIZATION OF MENTAL

ILLNESS AND THE PRINCIPLE OF THERAPEUTIC JURISPRUDENCE.

The article will speak about the deinstitutionalization and criminalization of

mental illness. It will talk about how they will deinstitutionalize people with mental

health, combined with criminalization. Criminal with mental issues are often not taken as

serious, criminals will use the excuse that they are mentally ill in order to get out of real

jail time. The thing with that is that mental hospitals will only keep them there for a

certain about of time. The author writes about how he believes that criminals need a very

restrictive setting possible, but they also need to go into a more thorough psychological

test. The author will write and show the readers how the constitution will work with

criminals and mental health.

Schmeltz, Michael T. Risk Characterization of Hospitalizations for Mental Illness and/or

Behavioral Disorders with Concurrent Heat Related Illness.

This article will pertain to the heat temperatures rising and the way that it will

correlate to mental illness and hospitals. It talks about the risk factors of patients with

mental instabilities in hospitals when the temperature begins to rise. The authors wrote on

how when the temperature rises, people with schizophrenia and dementia had a higher

risk of dying. Now, the study was to characterize the risk factors during hospitalization

with heat related mental illness and then compares it to the hospitalization of regular

mental illness. Their primary source was the healthcare cost and utilization project, which

was developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. This was to see the

correlation on how mental and behavioral illness is in relation to exposures to high-

ambient temperatures. They performed a baseline inpatient sociodemographic and

hospital characteristics for hospitalization for HRIs and mental illness and/or behavioral

disorders. The study showed multiple hospitalizations because of heat related issues,

multiple hospitalizations being mental illness, not behavioral illness.
