unit 14- Treating Psychological disorders

so unit 14 is my final unit and this is my final blog post. It is kind of bitter sweet for me as I dislike writing but enjoyed writing this blog.
 With this unit I learned so many different things about treating disorders and how I can treat my disorders. I have many things that I need to see a psychologist for but have not had the chance to find an appropriate one but now that I have read this unit I can now go to the right doctor for me.

I have to say that this class has been a pleasure and a challenge and I really enjoyed it all. 

Unit 13- Dfining Psychological disorder

In my culture psychological disorders are not real or believed to be real. growing up we were always told that nothing is wrong with us and that we are hypochondriacs or just looking for attention. In my history if someone had a mental illness or was considered crazy they would be ostracized for the fact that they had a family member who was "crazy". luckily now my family has started to break that habit my aunt has started to see a psychiatrist for her past problems.

Unit 12- Personality

In unit 12 we learned about personality all the different types and we took a personality tests. I really enjoyed learning about all the types of personalities out there. Here are the results of my personality test they were both accurate and inaccurate.some of the results showed that: Extroversion-Average, Agreeableness-Low, Conscientiousness-Average, Neuroticism-High, and Openness to Experience-Low. The only things I really agree with on here is Extraversion, conscientiousness they seem to be the 2 I think explain me the closest. I had my mother read the test results and she also thinks that it is both accurate and inaccurate; she believes that more of the results suit me then I do.I also took the Myers-Briggs test and got I.S.T.J. which says that I am quiet, serious; earn success by thoroughness, dependability, practical, matter of fact, realistic, and responsible.

Unit 11- Social Psychology

So my 6 year old son is going through some problems in school that I learned about in this unit, so the other day my son came home upset and I could not figure out why. So after about 3 days of this happening I finally sat him down and asked him what was wrong, he tells me that his best friends parents told him they could not be friends anymore because he is white and his friend is black. I was blown away by that to hear a 6 year old tell me his friends parents told him that prejudice was okay and that he cannot be friends with someone who is not of the same race. to me this is very sad and hurtful I told my son that some people are just like that and the only thing he can do is be nice and friends with everyone.

Unit 10- Stress, Health, and Ethics

Stress Health and Ethics are the 3 things we use and deal with in our everyday lives. for me personally these are the 3 hardest things i have to deal with all the time, stress is a very big problem for me I have a lot of stress in my life with being a full time student looking for a job and being a single mother of 2 it gets pretty over whelming at times, which leads to me having health issues I do not eat, sleep or take care of myself when I am stressed out. I am hoping that once I get the hang of school I can be less stressed out.

Unit 9- IQ Test

For this unit we learned about cognition and IQ Test everyone had to take an IQ test and talk about their results  for me this was a tough topic because I do not really think my IQ can be determined by a test online, if that was the case why would we need to go to school and learn about different things to build our intelligence. 
So my I.Q. result was 118 which they say my I.Q. is above average.I am not sure if I believe what they say as I stated before because they just can not tell you how smart you are by asking you a few test online.

unit 8-Memory

Unit 8 was all about our memory, For myself I have found that in the last 10 years since having kids I have noticed that my memory has started to get worse.  My short term memory is very limited at times and it has taken me longer to memorize things then it use to but after reading and learning more about different ways to improve my memory I have been able to fix this problem little by little.

Now I study a little everyday and I no longer try to cram before a test, it has also helped a lot with many of the test I have taken so far and hope that it continues to help for many years to come.
