LEARNING OUTCOMES Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 1 Mental Health or ‘emotional health’ or ‘well-being’ are just as important as good physical health but because mental illness is not 'visible', it makes it difficult for others to understand what someone is going through, even for those who are very close to that person.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 2When planning personalised mental health care, medical teams need to consider the whole person and their needs alongside the theory or knowledge about mental health care that they/you already have.To support this, the learning objectives of this module include:• To prepare a care plan which is all-encompassing and consider all necessary aspects of individualised care;• To understand the needs and experiences of people with mental health conditions, or learning disabilities;• To understand how social perceptions can impact on those with learning disability or mental health;• To understand the adjustments which may be necessary in care delivery relating to an individual who may have a mental health condition, or learning disability;• To understand the role of medication and how withdrawal may impact upon an individual and how it should be handled.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 3Many carers of people with mental health problems are concerned about how to respond to the person who is unwell. How can you help carers to set boundaries, and what should they consider to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviour?The learning objectives for this section are:• To understand and explore the approaches to care that respect service users' independence, choice and human rights;• To ensure you understand the difference between the use of restrictive practices and restrictive interventions and the appropriateness of their use.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 4When living with either mental health problems or a learning disability, small things that may seem easy to other people are difficult to achieve.Each person with learning disability is unique.In terms of work, many are capable of performing a specific job well without requiring any additional assistance or modifications. Many have learned to compensate for their disabilities and seek employment utilising their areas of strength. Others may need additional help at work. It is important that potential employees with learning disabilities know all the required components of a job, allowing them to develop strategies and accommodations that can enhance their job performance.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 5The process for handling learning disability and behavioural challenges for children is similar to the process for adults.As an overview to consolidate knowledge, NICE advise that when assessing challenging behaviour, the person being assessed remains the priority and is supported throughout the process. It is vital that the child or young person and their family members and carers are fully involved in the assessment process.

Disability, Health and Human Development
This open access book introduces the human development model to define disability and map its links with health and wellbeing, based on Sen's capability approach. The author uses panel survey data with internationally comparable questions on disability for Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda. It presents evidence on the prevalence of disability and its strong and consistent association with multidimensional poverty, mortality, economic insecurity and deprivations in education, morbidity and employment. It shows that disability needs to be considered from multiple angles including aging, gender, health and poverty. Ultimately, this study makes a call for inclusion and prevention interventions as solutions to the deprivations associated with impairments and health conditions.This work was published by Saint Philip Street Press pursuant to a Creative Commons license permitting commercial use.

Disability Justice in Public Health Emergencies
Disability Justice in Public Health Emergencies is the first book to highlight contributions from critical disability scholarship to the fields of public health ethics and disaster ethics.It takes up such contributions with the aim of charting a path forward for clinicians, bioethicists, public health experts, and anyone involved in emergency planning to better care for disabled people—and thereby for all people—in the future.Across 11 chapters, the contributors detail how existing public health emergency responses have failed and still fail to address the multi-faceted needs of disabled people.They analyze complications in the context of epidemic and pandemic disease and emphasize that vulnerabilities imposed upon disabled people track and foster patterns of racial and class domination. The central claim of the volume is that the ethical and political insights of disability theory and activism provide key resources for equitable disaster planning for all.The volume builds upon the existing efforts of disability communities to articulate emergency planning priorities and response measures that take into account the large body of qualitative and quantitative research on disabled people’s health, needs, and experiences.It is only by listening to disabled people’s voices that we will all fare better in future public health emergencies. The book will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in bioethics, disability studies, public health policy, medical sociology, and the medical humanities.

Can a psychiatrist issue a disability card with a disability degree of 50 or 80, or are mental health problems alone not sufficient?
A psychiatrist can issue a disability card with a disability degree of 50 or 80 for mental health problems if the individual's condition meets the criteria for disability as outlined by the relevant government agency or insurance provider. Mental health problems can be a valid reason for disability if they significantly impair an individual's ability to function in daily life, work, or social situations. The degree of disability assigned will depend on the severity of the mental health condition and its impact on the individual's overall functioning.

What is a holistic understanding of health?
A holistic understanding of health considers the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It recognizes that all aspects of a person's life and environment can impact their overall health. This approach emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. It also promotes balance, harmony, and integration of all aspects of a person's life to achieve optimal health and well-being.

What is worse: intellectual disability, mental illness, or physical disability?
It is not appropriate to compare the severity of different types of disabilities as each individual's experience is unique and complex. Intellectual disability, mental illness, and physical disability all present their own challenges and impact individuals in different ways. It is important to approach each person with empathy, understanding, and support, regardless of the type of disability they may have. Instead of comparing disabilities, it is more important to focus on creating inclusive and supportive environments for all individuals.
-
What is a mental disability?
A mental disability is a condition that affects a person's cognitive abilities, emotional functioning, and/or behavior. It can impact a person's ability to think, learn, communicate, and engage in daily activities. Mental disabilities can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Examples of mental disabilities include intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

'Epilepsy or mental health?'
Epilepsy and mental health are two distinct conditions that can coexist in some individuals. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, while mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is important to recognize that having epilepsy does not necessarily mean a person also has mental health issues, and vice versa. However, some individuals with epilepsy may also experience mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or cognitive difficulties, which should be addressed and managed by healthcare professionals.

Is mental health irrelevant?
No, mental health is not irrelevant. Mental health is just as important as physical health and can have a significant impact on a person's overall well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and can influence how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Taking care of our mental health is essential for living a fulfilling and balanced life. It is important to prioritize mental health and seek support when needed.

It encompasses how individuals think, feel, and act, and also helps determine how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Is social phobia considered a mental disability?
Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, is considered a mental health condition rather than a mental disability. While it can significantly impact a person's daily life and functioning, it is not typically classified as a disability unless it severely impairs a person's ability to work or engage in social activities. However, individuals with social phobia may qualify for accommodations or support services in certain situations to help them manage their symptoms and participate fully in society.
