Comrade Yen Psychology
I believe that Comrade Yen has Generalized Anxiety Disorder in addition to Major Depressive Disorder. Do you think people's opinions about you could ruin your life ? Its an idea that most people would scoff at for blaming what happened in your life on the actions of others. However i'd like to ask you to consider the possibility of such in the following paper.

We are going to look at the life and problems of Comrade Yen a 40 year old teacher in china that has been on a gradual decline after the popularity fall of communism.From her background and her relationships with her family members currently.All of her medical and psychological seems to be connected to a very specific span of years in her life and choices she made.We will also

She tired to move to a new area but it still did not get any better because she was still criticized for being overly smart and as a result she became a recluse and didn't talk to anyone she didn't have too. Because of the solitude she began to feel deeply disappointed in herself because of how important her family was and she being the daughter of a grate family was living in a poor community as a teacher to her felt like she let them down and seems to be the start of her major depression. This also makes me wonder why not try and get ahold of her friends and family from earlier in the city to have someone to talk to and keep her confidence up …show more content…
I believe that her depression is far more relevant to what is wrong with her because most of the things that she came to help for are direct symptoms of Major depression like: being anxious, how she describes herself ,The physical symptoms that she said are affecting her.Finding out she had general anxiety was more difficult since it's not what she talked but as I found out about her past and heard some of her more severe physical symptoms it made sense that she had general anxiety because of her hair falling out and the way she worries about her daughter and her job and it seems to be the only things she generally cares about

    She is fighting to find acceptance where she can, whether that be in Naxos, Chicago, New York City and Harlem, Copenhagen, or even in Alabama. I see her suffering from dysthymia which is a functional level of depression, but she is border line to having a form of bipolar disorder. She has times where she feels great, as she comes down from those highs, she feels mad and anxious, most of the time due to someone judging her for some reason. She always finds a reason to become angry and this brings her down into a low in which she wants to find a way to become happy again. I see that when she has this religious vision and marries the reverend that she is in a high mood and then she comes down from that and this causes her to have a form of psychosis begin by the ending of the…

    She was thought to be very bright and pretty and in her youth, there were no signs of the criminal path she would later take. She had big dreams for herself, but sadly most of them had to stay dreams.There was no room on the Broadway stage for girls from the slums of Dallas. Although she was one of the brightest kids on her class she had limited option for her career after high school. College was out of the questions because her mother barely made enough money to feed them everyday. She would have to choose between becoming a factory worker, a seamstress, or a clerk in a shop. Those were the only options for girls raised in Cement City.…

    She did not delve into much detail about how her actions affected her relationships with her family and her lovers, which we can assume could be strenuous at times. When she begins to discuss the issues of having children of her own, she even goes so far as to question if people with manic-depression are in danger of becoming endangered. She says that if we eventually rid the world of people with manic-depression using genes and prenatal diagnosis, we risk the world of becoming a much blander place. After some quick research, it becomes clear about her stance on artistic creativity and psychological illness as she has written an entirely different book on the subject. I find this view of hers to be a stretch, and that not every artist must have some sort of psychological…

    True Fate of Homer Barron

    Before coming to a conclusion as to what really happened several ideas from the story have to come in to play. When her father died she couldn't accept it and it took several people to convince her that he was dead and to let them bury the body. According to the townspeople he ran off her suitors and robbed her of finding true love and fulfillment. She never seemed able to accept the fact that time was passing and things were changing and maybe this led to her having a fear of being alone. Last but not least she was probably tired of all the town talking about her all the time and may have believed this was her way of solving the talk and being left alone. She did have an image to uphold.…

    The way her peers and family act toward her verify the idea that the people in her life view her depression as an inconvenience, perceive her as negative and despondent, as well as viewing her as strange and taboo.All of these assumptions are involved with the stigma around depression within society and play a heavy role in the story as they influence how Melinda copes throughout the story. They are also prevalent in reality as becausemany people do not feel comfortable to ask for help with their depression because of these assumptions people have about people with depression, making life more difficult and troublesome for those who do suffer from depression. At the end of the story some people in Melinda’s life begin to sympathize with her and help by not buying into the stigma that seems to control her life. A few from her flock fly down to help her, as they should have from the very start. If only society would care to fly down to help the people very people who need it instead of flying away maybe things could…

    During her first year, she struggled with the grief of losing her grandfather who had passed away during the middle of the school year. She says, with pain taking residence in her voice that the “ passing of my grandpa during my freshman year of college was an absolute defining moment” in her life. She was just figuring out who she was as a person, and finding out that her grandfather was passing away was extremely difficult for her to get through. Even though she has known that her grandfather had been sick for a long while now, it was still a shock to her that he was actually gone. Julie forlornly stated that in that moment in made her realize that things change, and her life was changing, regardless if she was ready for it or not. She explained how she was “no longer was a child or naive teenager, protected from the realities of the adult world”, she needed to realize that what she was experiencing adult matters that she was not used to. It made Julie re-evaluate her place in life and what was really important to her. Julie grew up a lot from this experience and still continues to learn from it…

    By this time I assume she was about eighteen years old. Her daily routine had not changed much. She still read or wrote every day. The only thing that changed was her age and attitude. By the time she reached this age, she had written three books, each telling wonderful stories. These stories are what changed her attitude. She lost some of her depression through words. Lisel spent more time outdoors, interacting with a few people. All I can say is that I am amazed by words, and how much of an effect they have on…

    She also faces obstacles at home where “she thinks that she is just a huge disappointment and that her parents would have been divorced if she had not born” (Anderson 70). When she gets to school she finds all of these “clans that everyone is in like the Jocks, Country Clubbers, Idiot Savants, Cheerleaders, Human Waste, Eurotrash, Future Fascists of American, Big Hair Chix, the Marthas, Suffering Artists, Thespians, Goths, and Shredders” (Anderson 4). She says she is an Outcast and that there are no points for looking at her ex-friends since the whole incident happened. One of the things that many of the people in Merryweather High School don’t know about, is what happened to Melinda, during the whole party was that she got raped and then they started hating her because they didn’t know what happened for her to call the cops.
