HE human possesses three aspects that are con-substantial to his being, T and, because of this, quite undetachable one from another; a body, mentality, and social sense. Man is a biological, physical, and social being. Therefore it is very difficult to be able to speak of mental health without presupposing the bodily health that sustains it, and without involving the social health that characterises it. A patient can be sick in his body without being mentally sick, but when his sickness gets worse, or lasts a long time, you can be sure that physical suffering will not be long in showing itself...

Mercury is found in the environment as elemental mercury, inorganic mercury or organic mercury (ethyl-, methyl-, alkyl-, or phenylmercury). In our environment it is present in thermometers, thermostats, dental amalgams, paint, cosmetic products, laxatives, diuretics and antiseptics.

Up to 80% of inhaled elemental mercury and up to 100% of methylmercury is absorbed and can cross the blood brain barrier.

The seconds, the minutes, the hours, the days, the weeks, the months, the years, the lustrum, and the decades, are ways of measuring and specifying the location in time of man's events. Its use allows one to situate oneself at any moment in life, and for the same reason, they serve as references to remember events. Memories are ways of reliving the past, and these memories generate sensations that give rise to emotions, some very pleasant and others unpleasant. This ability that humans have to remember past events is challenging to control since, to a large extent, evocations are the product o...

Unresolved and persistent uncivil conduct can result in health and mental health problems for affected nurses. Hence, in order to...

In this paper we draw on data from the English and Welsh Civil and Social Justice Survey to explore the extent to which housing rights problems and mental illness co-occur, and the causal connections between them. After controlling for a range of social and demographic predictors, we find significant associations between housing rights problems and mental illness. We also find that housing rights problems are often reported to lead to str...

This study desires to examine a collaborative, recently implemented mental health deputy grant ...

ANY attempt to describe the relations between social values and mental health must take account of the social movement that marches under the banner of "mental health" or "mental hygiene." That movement is itself an expression of, and a result of, a revolution in social values; it also affects social values, and, presumably, mental health. I should like, therefore, first to state briefly how the sociologist looks at the relation between social values and personality, and what he knows about it; second, to turn attention to the origin and growth of the mental health movement in relation to gene...
