Mohammad HammashPublished about a year ago in PsycheDepression in Older Adults
Depression is a common mental health condition that affects people of all ages. It is primarily characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Although research does not indicate an increased incidence of depression in older adults, many of the life challenges faced at this age can contribute to or exacerbate the subjective symptoms associated with this mood disorder and/or impede attempts at therapeutic intervention (Santrock, 2002; Callahan & Wolinsky, 1995).

WHAT IS A DREAM A dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. Dreams can be vivid and memorable, or they can be fleeting and difficult to recall. The content and purpose of dreams is not fully understood, but they have been theorized to be related to memory consolidation, emotional processing, and problem solving. Dreams can be influenced by various factors such as past experiences, emotions, and current events. They can also be affected by certain medications, substances, and certain medical conditions. Dreams can be categorized into different types, such as lucid dreams, where the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming and may have some control over the dream, and nightmares, which are vivid and often distressing dreams that can cause a person to wake up feeling anxious or afraid. Dreams have been studied by scientists and researchers in various fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry. They have been used in art, literature, and mythology throughout history. Many cultures have also placed significance on dreams and have developed methods for interpreting them. While the exact function of dreaming is still not fully understood, it is believed that it plays an important role in cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, and overall mental health. Dreams can be a source of inspiration, a way to process emotions, and a tool for problem-solving. They can also help to consolidate memories and aid in learning. Studies have shown that people who have difficulty in remembering their dreams have a harder time remembering things they learned while they were awake. Dreams can also be used in therapy as a way to gain insight into the unconscious mind and work through unresolved issues or traumas. Techniques such as lucid dreaming and dream journaling can be used to gain control over the content of dreams and explore their meanings. The study of dreams is called oneirology. It is an interdisciplinary field that draws on research from neuroscience, psychology, and other disciplines. There are different theories on why we dream, some of them include: Activation-Synthesis theory: dreams are a byproduct of the brain's attempt to make sense of random neural activity during sleep Wish fulfillment theory: dreams are a way to process repressed desires and unconscious wishes Cognitive-psychological theory: Dreams are a way to process emotions, memories, and information that the brain received during the day Adaptive theory: Dreams are a way to practice and prepare for potential future events, or to solve problems that we currently face Overall, the study of dreams is a fascinating and complex field that is still not fully understood, but with the advancement of technology and research, we are getting closer to understanding the mysteries of the dreaming mind.

Wayne HoytePublished about a year ago in PsycheLearned Helplessness and Learned Optimism
Learned helplessness is a phenomenon in which an individual experiences a sense of powerlessness in situations where they have previously been exposed to uncontrollable, negative events. Discovered quite serendipitously, it has since been credited by some scholars as the impetus that resulted in cognitive psychology’s displacement of behaviorism. This phenomenon has since been observed in a wide range of species, including humans, and has been the subject of extensive research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.
