Mental Hygiene

• The science of promoting mental health and preventing mental illness

through the application of psychiatry and psychology.
• The science of maintaining mental health and preventing the development
of psychosis, neurosis, or other mental disorders.
• Mental hygiene is the care of the mind.
• The branch of psychiatry concerned with psychological methods.
• Is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or emotional well-
being or an absence of a mental disorder. From perspectives of the
discipline of positive psychology or holism mental health may include an
individual's ability to enjoy life and procure a balance between life activities
and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.

“I chose the first, second, third and fourth sentences above as my chosen
description to Mental Hygiene. I like those four because I can easily understand the
definition and I can have an idea on what’s the overview of the subject that I’m taking
up.”

What is Mental Health?

Mental health is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or

emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder. From perspectives of
the discipline of positive psychology or holism mental health may include an
individual's ability to enjoy life and procure a balance between life activities and
efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health is an expression of our
emotions and signifies a successful adaptation to a range of demands.

Five Highlights of the History of Far Eastern University

• During World War II, the campus was occupied by the Imperial Japanese
Army, who left only its shell unharmed..
• The Technical Building was the FEU Hospital before.
• Dr. Nicanor Reyes founded the FEU.
• Accountancy and Business and Finance were the first courses offered in
FEU.
• Reyes commissioned Pablo Antonio, who would later be titled National
Artist of the Philippines, to construct a building for the school.
 “I chose Personality and Mental Health, Frustration and Conflict, and
Stress Management as my three topics in the course syllabus that I’m
interested in. It’s because I’m dying to know how to control my stress,
frustrations and anything that I think (in those topics) that can relate to
that things. I also know that it might help me if we will discuss these
topics.”

SYNTHESIS

If you will look into my Media Diary, you can tell that the mediums I’m
using are poor.
My laptop is for my everyday use because I’m writing a novel and every
day, I have an idea what to write so that the story will continue. If I had my mind
stock, I guess I will have a writer’s block. So, every day, I have to check my novel
and find a way to continue the story. I will also listen to the songs in my play list
on there.
My cell phone (actually, it’s gone) is also for my now and then usage
because emergency calls and messages might abruptly came in, so that’s why
it’s important to me to have my phone.
The other one and the last one medium that I used for this week is the
personal computer. I will only use it if there are assignments that I will have to
search in the net. Also, for printing some files. And of course, if I will use the
internet just to see some updates in my accounts and mails.
1. Research can be defined as the search for knowledge or any systematic investigation
to establish facts. The primary purpose for applied research (as opposed to basic research)
is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the
advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world
and the universe. Research can use the scientific method, but need not do so.
3. Research is important in considering services for students for two reasons. First, you
can start with tools that have been shown to be effective. Federal laws such as NCLB
and IDEA require this. Second, for something to actually be effective in a school, it has
to be used and used with fidelity. For a tool to be used it helps if everyone believes it can
work because this helps professionals to the day to day activities, without which, even the
most effective tools do not succeed. By communicating to professionals that the tool is
effective it helps to create a sense of efficacy which can help each person with their
personal decision to use the tool with fidelity.
4. the research must be original, it is not too broad, you have an interest to your research
so that it will be more easy for you to write it.
