For this forum please share an example of an individual case of depression that you think is relevant to our psychopharmacology course. This can be from clinical experience, personal experience of friends or family, or the literature. Please use protect confidentiality of clinical example by using fictitious name.

  Very briefly describe the individual’s: age, course of illness, symptoms and diagnosis, and their response to treatment. Include any interesting issues such as choice of treatment modality, issues around suicidality, or adverse medication effects.
What is one lesson learned from this case? respond to the main dq

RONS RESPOND TO THE MAIN POST

In my clinic, clients are admitted due to substance use disorder. Yet, comorbid with this disorder is generally some form of depression. Most notably is a major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder. As indicated in Preston, ONeal, and Talaga (2017), it is ubiquitous for those with depression to utilize medication and recreational drugs to ameliorate symptoms. Alcohol is often used in times of emotional distress in order to cope.

    One client, in particular, is a woman by the name of Charlotte who 39 years old and is an alcoholic that has been depressed for that last 2 years. The course of illness initiated with a number of events ostensibly out of her control, namely her husbands passing, her rift with her family, and her current isolation. The consideration of depression because of events out of her control is in confluence with the locus of control theory, that those with an external locus of control have a higher susceptibility to pathology (Yu & Fan, 2016). As time has progressed, she has indicated that her depression has gotten worse, with avolition, anhedonia, weight loss, insomnia, difficulty concentration, psychomotor retardation, and suicidal ideation. She has been prescribed many medications, such as those mention by Preston et al. (2017) like Zoloft and Prozac as well as tricyclic antidepressants like Anafranil. It is interesting that Anafranil is also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Charlotte has indicated that nothing works. According to her the only medicine that relieves her depression is alcohol.

      Kalat (2009) advances that alcohol affects neurons within the brain influencing both inhibitory and excitatory sites within the brain. Furthermore, alcohol increases stimulation at both dopamine and opiate receptors. Despite the immediate relief that Charlotte discusses, a novel point learned is that alcohol is delineated by Preston et al. (217) as a drug that causes depression. This may be a contributory explanation for her description of the depression getting worse over time. The reason is that her alcohol intake has increased over the course of the depression, perhaps contributing to her symptoms become more severe. In our clinical meeting, the treatment plan indicates that her alcohol use must be dealt with first.

fire science

This week we are going to look into a topic that will require some research and/or experience on your part. The object of firefighting (wet stuff on the red stuff) is to overcome the BTU’s with GPM’s; thus line choice is a huge tactical decision by the company officer. A huge tool and a world of difference is the 2.5″ Blitz Line. One would think that there is little difference between 1.75″ standard pre-connect and a 2.5″; but it’s truly night and day. The issue with the 2.5″ is staffing and the ability to deploy it. If a company is fully staffed and a heavy fire load is noticed; try not to overlook this line and its effectiveness.

Write a post to achieve the following:

1. List the advantages and disadvantages to the 1.75″ and 2.5″ attack lines
2.  What situations would warrant a fire company to utilize each of these lines?  (Think size of the fire, type of occupancy – commercial versus residential, etc.)
3.  How can staffing affect our ability to deploy and use larger lines? 
4.  Discuss your thoughts on the different lines.  If you are currently with a fire department, what are the standard procedures for deploying these two size lines? 
5.  Please post a link to an article, webpage, video or other source that contains some information on different line sizes.  The link should be to a resource that helps your fellow students with this topic.

Prompt: Using George Orwell’s Essay “shooting an Elephant” as a jumping off point, write an essay in which you present a personal experience that illuminates a larger issue: schooling, affirmative action, homelessness, law enforcement, taxes or some other local or national issue.
Remember that you must incorporate a summary and analysis of Orwell’s essay in your own essay in order to elucidate your point.  This is not strictly a personal essay.  While you are not writing an essay on British Imperialism, you must demonstrate an understanding of Orwell and how he uses a personal narrative to talk about a larger issue, which is in his case colonialism, and apply his method to your own essay.
