[SOLVED] Health Age

HLTH AGE 2N03 Essay AssignmentIn 5-6 pages, students should answer one of the following questions, using at least SIX peer-reviewed sources. Non-peer reviewed sources (including pop magazines like Psychology Today) are highly discouraged. Be sure to use proper APA parenthetical citations and to include a bibliography (which doesn’t count against the page limit). Your essay should clearly answer the question. Students interested in writing on other topics MUST clear it with the instructor at least 10 days before the deadline.1) Electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) looked to be disappearing from the toolkit of psychiatry in the 1960s and 1970s, only to experience a resurgence towards the end of the 20th century and early 21st century. How can we best explain this renewed use, especially with so many less controversial treatments available?2) Recent decades have witnessed heated discussions over the utility of many treatments, such as ECT, SSRI medications, and psychoanalysis. It has been suggested that the debates over treatment within the world of mental healthcare are far more polarized and rancorous than equivalent debates in other medical specialties. Why has this been the case?3) Over the past ten years, many major pharmaceutical companies have shut down their research and development teams dedicated to discovering new psychopharmaceuticals. Such a move was surprising for many people, given the profitability of mental health divisions. How can we explain this development?4) In the last decade or so, it has become increasingly common for students in elementary and secondary school to be taught mindfulness in the classroom. Although this development was welcomed at first, some scholars have begun to question this widespread practice. How can we best explain the reluctance to see mindfulness programming expanded?5) In the hopes of treating alcoholism, some Canadian communities have recently opened up “managed alcohol programs.” Such programs, unsurprisingly, have also met with resistance. What will be necessary for such treatment programs to overcome this resistance?6) The Ontario government recently made it necessary for anyone calling themselves a psychotherapist to obtain a license to practice. Some have suggested the same be extended to others whose interventions rely on talking, such as “counsellors” and “life coaches.” Should a license be required to use talk interventions? Why or why not?In terms of sources, it’s a good idea to start with McMaster’s article databases: (https://library.mcmaster.ca/articles_azlist/all), which are more focused than Google Scholar. Some of the better ones include: America: History and Life, Academic OneFile, Anthropology Plus, Arts & Humanities Citation Index (Web of Science), Historical Abstracts, JSTOR, Social Sciences Abstracts, Scholars Portal, and Sociological Abstracts. You might also investigate PsycInfo and PubMed. More info: https://library.mcmaster.ca/guides/. Although strictly medical sources might be useful, you’ll likely get much more from taking an interdisciplinary approach to your search. Thus, we strongly encourage you to make use of the types of databases listed above.
