There is no specific cause for depression, major roles that play in depression includes genetics, environment, life events, medical conditions, and the way people react to events that happen in their life.

...Reflections For me this course has been interesting and giving. I liked the practical parts of it, and especially listening to when you had ”therapy sessions”. This gave me ideas of methods to use in my life and my line of work. I am in Sweden studying positive psychology and motivational interviewing, and my aim is to in the future coach people to reach goals and also to become happier. This course has given me methods and interventions to achieve this and I have now seen a new way to work. It is also a good refresh of my old knowledge of conversation as well as i gained new valuable information. What was evident for me during your therapy sessions is that you often asked how the person was feeling, in order to see what changed during the session, as well as to know which state he or she is in and what needs working on (what should be central during the session). This is good for seeing what works and what don't, and what steps to take in order to achieve a good result. The client will hopefully truthfully explain what he or she is feeling and from this one can explore why this feelings exist and how to cope with them. You also cared about the past experiences and what feelings are connected to that, probably in order to find out the source of the behavior and pain. If a therapist finds out the past event, and the past feelings, this could help in trying to accept it. You also repeated what the person was saying, I think in order to show that you understand, and also...

...Sarah Brown Mr. Lopez English III 22 May 2015 T4 Ella Wheeler Wilcox In the poems Solitude and It might have been by Ella Wheeler Wilcox there are strong comparisons that can be made between the two by using both the style used in each poem and the substance. The poems are almost complete opposites, yet are very similar, Solitude is about being alone in the world or feeling isolated, while It might have been is meant to be empowering because the author encourages the readers to not regret anything or to not let chances slip by. Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born November 5, 1850 in Johnstown, Wisconsin. She began writing poetry at a very young age and was a recognized poet before she had even graduated high school. She was constantly compared to Walt Whitman because of their way of writing; her poetry was sentimental and romantic. Something that set them apart though was their form; Ella Wheeler Wilcox maintained a very traditional form unlike Walt Whitman. Her most famous work was the Poems of Passion. She married Robert Wilcox in 1884. Soon after her husband’s passing in 1916, Ella passed away due to cancer on October 30, 1919. Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death. The poem Solitude talks about being isolated from the world when you are feeling down and enjoying everything around you when you are feeling happy. Laugh and the world laughs with you; / Weep and you weep alone (Solitude. Lines 1 and...

...Iraaj Majumdar 4576366 Question 3 : Ignorance is Bliss “Ignorance is bliss” was first put into a phrase by Thomas Gray in is ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College. When considering this, to me the key thing to understand is perception. “Comparison is the thief of joy” – Theodore Roosevelt. If we are to say that ignorance is bliss, then we are saying that knowledge is sadness. Turing and Russell, noted logicians, would say that of course ignorance is bliss. When we are unaware of the things that could make us unhappy, we are in a state of happiness. But is that to say we were happier? Ignorance is plainly then just ignorance. It is only through knowledge that we can understand that we were happier when we didn’t know. We do not know what we are ignorant of until we discover the truth. To the example at hand; Cypher would be neither happier nor unhappier being back in the matrix. The only way he would know that he was blissful would be by comparison, making this idea in itself a paradox. “The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but the thoughts about it. Beware of the thoughts you are thinking” – Eckhart Tolle. Tolle’s view supports the idea that it is the knowledge that makes us understand whether or not we are happy. The idea that thinking is what makes us happy goes all the way back to Descartes, in a way. If the only thing we are sure about are our thoughts, then we are the masters of our own ignorance and our own bliss. Having a Socratic understanding...

...the diagnosed mental disorders, is troubling the college students in an increasing rate. Psychologists define depression as mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for an extended period of time. Although it may sound simple, this ailment should not be underestimated; it must be understood well to avoid grave consequences. Most of the college students fail to notice that they are afflicted by depression, which in turn greatly affect their academic performances. It is imperative that these students be aware of this disorder in order to survive their university lives. First, it should be known to all that depression is caused by many factors instead of believing that it is caused by a one-time event such as failing an exam. Depression among college students may be rooted on their inability to adjust to the culture of their university. Changes in their environment, being away from the family, and new peers and influences stress these students, and when they fail to adapt, they inevitably fall into the abyss of depression. The increased competitiveness in the universities and greater academic demands of parents add to these factors which push students to be depressed. Failure to accomplish these goals and responsibilities over and over is another great leap to sadness and frustration. The different lifestyle of being a college student is another factor due to chemical imbalances, lack of sleep, and poor eating habits. In addition...

...Some people think that heartbreak is the worst feeling in the world. Many relationships have gone wrong, leaving more questions than answers. Why does it sometimes feel like a broken heart hurts worse than a broken bone? Do feelings really have that much of an impact on a person’s day-to-day life? There are a number of reasons why a relationship fails. Jealousy, attachment, detachment, selfishness, time, trust, communication, honesty, and acceptance are just a few reasons. Do opposites really attract? Maybe at first. It’s hard to maintain a relationship when two people have absolutely nothing in common. It could be the simplest of things such as what type of movies you like or what to get for dinner to the most difficult of things such as friends. A successful relationship generally consists of communication, trust, honesty, reliability, compatibility, support, time, and effort. When you are devoted to each other and you have so much love for each other and you are willing to fight to make each moment you have with your partner. Love is an emotion you feel usually towards another person. It describes how you feel about that person, saying that you respect, trust, rely on them, and have no secrets from each other. We can all take a moment and close our eyes and think back on our lives and the relationships we’ve had. Whether it’s the best friend you had in kindergarten or the boy/girl you, not so secretly, had a crush on in high school. How many of us really spend...

...Empty Fake happiness is still the worst sadness. It's so sad to think about how many beautiful people are living every day hating themselves. First, it starts off on insecurities, of not being good enough for a certain someone, for your family, for the society. Then, the next thing you know is you are depressed. Depression doesn't exempt anyone, whether you are a poor person that has nothing, or you are rich that could get everything in just a snap of your fingers. Depression is like drowning but not being able to save yourself, so you just kind of gave up and let the deep, dark ocean take you. It feels like you're too sad to cry and too tired to sleep, and you just feel nothing. You have this empty feeling in your chest, and no matter what you do, you can't fill it out. Sometimes, the emptiness you feel is just too much and there's only so much a person could take, and then they just give up. Now, hurting yourself thinking you deserve it is such a hard thing to stop. It's like a drug, it takes you away from reality, and the next thing you know, you're in too deep, and it's too late to go back. So before this unhealthy habit starts, we need to prevent it from happening to us, to our loved ones. People are like pieces of paper. Once you tear them apart, you can't fix them. No matter what you do or say they will never be how they once are. Depressed people lack love from the people around them, so they just make their own world where they could be happy, blocking the people who...

...A person’s mood is very important to me and should be to other’s as well because their mood has a lot to do with how they are feeling and in some cases may alter how they will act. A person’s mood can range from highs as in feeling happy, joyous, and confident to lows like depressed, anxious or lonely. Mood is a pervasive and sustained emotional response that may affect a person’s perception. When people are in a good mood they tend to feel very positive about themselves, and might be more outgoing, friendly, nice and even smile more. On the other hand, when a person is in a bad mood they tend to be more quiet, gloomy or frustrated. Mood is important because this is a feeling that can change depending on the surroundings of an individual. What I mean by this is that if a person is feeling moody or sad and they have no support system, they may continue to be sad for a long period of time, which can change this person drastically depending on what the situation is. Whereas a person who has friends and family to help them in whatever situation their facing may only be sad for a short period of time and will soon be able to get over it and return to their normal state. I believe that mood should be important to others as well because ultimately everyone wants to live their life and be happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case so in order for people to move forward and be happy, everyone should be aware of other’s feelings and take into consideration that just having someone to talk...
