If you know of someone who has been diagnosed witha mental disorder, how
does the disorder limit their ability to function? (How is their daily life impacted?)
“The state of being free from mental Disturbances that limit functioning.”

Keep in mind that:
The function of a healthy brain is to enable us to
respond to continuous Internal and external stimuli in a
manner that ensures our survival.
![Page 5: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Let’s take a look:
7- Step Process of mental function
![Page 6: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step One (1)A stimulus occurs
The stimulus may be a thought, dream, something you see, hear, smell, taste, touch, etc.)
Our brain is continuously bombarded by stimuli
The function of a healthy brain is to enable us to
respond to continuous stimuli in a mannerthat ensures our
survival.
![Page 7: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stimuli are constantly bombarding us…
How many stimuli is Katniss experiencing in this scene from
Hunger Games?
![Page 8: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step Two (2)
We give meaning to the stimulus.(What’s our interpretation or perception of the stimulus?)
What makes human being so different from one another?
We don’t all interpret stimuli the same……
![Page 9: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s your perception of the following stimuli?
![Page 10: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

![Page 12: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step Three (3)
Emotional Response (Are you indifferent, sad, anxious, scared, happy?)
The emotion you feel depends on your interpretation (perception) of the stimulus.
Examples?
![Page 18: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step Four (4)
Your brain immediately releases chemicals (neurotransmitters)
in response to the emotion(dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, acetylcholine, epinephrine...)
This chemical release is necessary in order to trigger the physiological changes that will follow….
The amount released is relative to the intensity of the emotion. Re-uptake of the neurotransmitter occurs after the release.
![Page 20: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step Five (5)
A physiological response results from the release of neurotransmitters(heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, salivation, relaxation, etc…)
Keep in mind that the physiological response is not directly in your control!
![Page 21: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step Six (6)
A behavioral response occurs(running, thinking, speaking, moving, lifting, eating, laughing, yelling,
whispering, grinning, squinting, turning, flinching, etc.…)
Even though you may not be able to control your physiological response in step 5, your behavioral
response is often a matter of choice.
![Page 22: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step Seven (7)
Outcome
Do you respond to the stimulus effectively?
![Page 23: Mental Health Unit 2 (1). “The state of being free from mental disturbances that limit functioning.” Mental health is…](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eb45503460f94bbcf3e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

As a class:
Jennifer is in English class. She has 20 minutes to complete an activity with the use of a Chrome Book. She takes one of the Chrome Books made available by the teacher and turns it on then waits for everything to load. When the log in screen appears she enters her user name and password then clicks enter. Nothing happens. She clicks again. Nothing happens. She figures that everything didn’t load properly. She becomes a bit anxious and annoyed. Her chest tightens and fills with a larger amount of air than usual. But, she’s pretty sure she knows what to do. She presses control-alt-delete simultaneously to re-start the computer, waits a few moments for everything to re-load, then enters her credentials again. Just as she had hoped, she was able to get logged on and was able to begin her work.

1. Stimulus (stressor)
2. You interpret the stimulus as either:
a. Demanding (You’re required to confront or avoid)
b. Threatening (You’re required to fight or flee)
3. Emotional response
a. anxiety (if stressor is demanding)
b. fear (if stressor is threatening)
4. Brain releases:
a. endorphins (natural pain killer)
Adrenal glands release:
a. cortisone (inhibits swelling/inflammation)
b. adrenaline (activates an increase in power/energy)
5. Physiological response:
a. Heart rate respiration sweat production muscle tension
blood sugar, hyper alertness, constriction or dilation of blood vessels
6. Behavioral response:
a. fight (do you confront/face the stressor head on?)
b. flight (do you flee/avoid the stressor?)
7. Outcome: Do you survive or perform?

The pituitary and hypothalamus glands of the brain are the primary
releasers of endorphins.

In a war-torn or less civilized area a higher percentage of
stressors that peopleface are threatening.

to an emotion/issue he is not
prepared to handle.
