In the space below, answer the following short essay questions completely (be sure to      answer all components of each question). Be as concise as possible; this is not a brain     dump, your answers should reflect some critical thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

First, watch this news report (~5 min) about how climate change is impacting the            mental health of youth in Florida. Then answer the following questions.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>WPLG Local 10. May 3, 2023. \u201cYoung students suffering from climate anxiety continue<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

fighting for their future.\u201d Available at: <\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7qWoDf8EwEY<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Question 1:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Why are sociological approaches to the study of mental health different than<\/span><\/p>\n

psychological\/psychiatric approaches? Be specific about what the focus of the sociology of <\/span>mental health is. Now, consider the news report you just watched on how climate           change  is <\/span>impacting the mental health of youth today. Based on what you learned, what are some social factors that shape the impacts of the climate crisis on mental health?<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 2:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The video news report discusses how ecoanxiety is a growing issue and can even be a<\/span><\/p>\n

recognized diagnosis. Technically, climate anxiety hasn\u2019t been added to the Diagnostic and <\/span>Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM), at least not yet. But the American                   Psychological <\/span>Association has included ecoanxiety in recent guides on climate and          mental health, reflecting <\/span>the increasing medicalization of the psychological impacts of      climate change. What is <\/span>medicalization (in regards to mental health)? What are some of  the potential benefits that <\/span>might come from adding climate anxiety to the DSM? What are some potential risks\/costs of <\/span>medicalization?<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 3:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

In class, we have talked about intersectionality, or the interconnected nature of social       <\/span>categorizations that contribute to unique vulnerabilities for certain populations. Consider  the <\/span>factor age. Why might youth, like those featured in this video news report, be                  particularly at <\/span>risk for mental health impacts from climate change? (Bonus for                     considering how age <\/span>complicates autonomy among this demographic group!)<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, read this article about mental health in response to global warming in Australia, and then answer the following questions.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Georgina Kenyon, Mosaic. 2019. \u201c\u2018If the land is sick, you are sick\u2019: An Aboriginal approac    to mental health in times of drought.\u201d Mosaic, April 28. Available to read here:                        <\/span><\/span>https:\/\/scroll.in\/pulse\/921558\/if-the-land-is-sick-you-are-sick-an-aboriginal-approach to-mental-health-in-times-of-drought<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Question 4:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Consider the news video from WPLG Local 10 (2023) you just watched AND the article by   Georgina Kenyon (2019) you just read. How does each of these reports demonstrate the       <\/span>importance and power of healing trauma through storytelling? Be sure to cite BOTH           sources, <\/span>with specific examples from each! How are decolonial approaches to mental      health different <\/span>than dominant psychological\/psychiatric approaches? Why might both    the climate resiliency <\/span>youth camp and the \u201cWe-Yarn\u201d workshops be examples of                decolonial approaches to healing <\/span>mental disorder?<\/span><\/p>\n
