LFortuna, K. L., Naslund, J. A., LaCroix, J. M., Bianco, C. L., Brooks, J. M., Zisman-Ilani, Y., … & Deegan, P. (2020). Digital peer support mental health interventions for people with a lived experience of a serious mental illness: a systematic review. JMIR mental health, 7(4), e16460.

The goal of this research is to find and analyze data on digital peer support treatments for those living with chronic psychiatric disorders. Peer support is widely regarded as a critical component of mental wellness restoration. Peer support is progressively utilizing technology to give peer support as the advent of digital mental health services changes the manner psychological wellness treatment is offered. In the context of such technological advancements, it is necessary to analyze and consolidate emerging information for peer-supported digital health therapies for individuals with psychological illnesses.

Maalouf, F. T., Alamiri, B., Atweh, S., Becker, A. E., Cheour, M., Darwish, H., … & Akl, E. A. (2019). Mental health research in the Arab region: challenges and call for action. The Lancet Psychiatry, 6(11), 961-966.

Even though mental diseases are the major source of disabilities in the Arab world, accounting for 5.54 percent of the world's demographic, Arab nations contribute just 10% of the world's peer-reviewed psychological wellness studies. Several stakeholders gathered, comprising Arab psychological healthcare researchers, organizational, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and a lack of trustworthy and accurate evaluation instruments are among the issues cited. The suggested response strategy comprises measures to combat stigma and increase awareness, as well as approaches to increase collaboration, create study facilities, improve the mental wellbeing of professionals, and translate study results to community and state activity. The suggested financing agency executives and multinational scientific strategy approach may serve as a road map for Arab psychological wellbeing academics and scientific centers, helping to boost study efficiency and narrow the difference between Arab nations and the rest of the globe.

McCrory, A., Best, P., & Maddock, A. (2020). The relationship between highly visual social media and young people’s mental health: A scoping review. Children and Youth Services Review, 115, 105053.

Users of visually rich social networks like Snapchat and Instagram communicate with one another via photons instead of words. Teenagers make up a sizable share of those who utilize such sites. Prior studies have found conflicting data about the influence of online digital networking on the psychological health of this age bracket, and it's unclear if the mental impacts of visualizations solely vary from those of text-based social media. The review study organizes the available information on visually striking social networks, with a focus on their mental effects on youthful individuals. The findings show that there is a scarcity of evidence that specifically investigates. To attain its goals, most of the material uses quantitative methodologies. Most of the outcomes are inconclusive, and qualitative information would be more useful in elucidating the causes behind these contradictory results.

Mihailescu, M., & Neiterman, E. (2019). A scoping review of the literature on the current mental health status of physicians and physicians-in-training in North America. BMC Public Health, 19(1), 1-8.

The above scoping overview examines what kinds of psychological well-being issues are addressed in the research, what is their pervasiveness between many psychiatrists, what induces psychological wellbeing issues in psychiatrists, what impacts psychological health issues have on clinicians and their clients, what initiatives may be used to resolve them, and what are the obstacles to pursuing and receiving treatment for mental wellness worries in doctors. The goal of this study is to better comprehend physicians' psychological state, uncover study limitations, and provide evidence-based treatments.

The research emphasized solutions, yet it said nothing regarding obstacles to getting assistance and the impact of physicians' psychological health problems on patients' service. Additional study is required to investigate a wider range of mental healthcare issues in doctors, as well as the obstacles to requesting help. It's equally worth looking at the impact of low physician psychological wellbeing on clients. Lastly, there are no transversal or prospective investigations, as well as assessments of therapies proposed to enhance physicians' psychological health, in the examined research.

Researchers analyze ways either the diagnostics or medication of bladder cancer could influence psychological wellness throughout multiple disease phases under this cover, which summarizes the evidence on the predictive effects of mental disorders on bladder cancer individuals. Stress and panic are common mental health concerns that coincide with the treatment of bladder cancer, which has a bad prognosis and a higher psychological load. Individuals with bladder cancer are most likely to commit euthanasia, particularly if they are elderly, single men with chronic illness. Mental illnesses, like impaired physical wellness, can affect healthcare results like post-surgical morbidity risks and survivability percentages. Whereas the relevance of psychological wellness in bladder cancer people is becoming more well recognized, more research is required to determine the function of therapies like intellectual behavioral psychotherapy or medication in maximizing medication outcomes.

Apovian, C. (2016). The Obesity Epidemic – Understanding the Disease and the Treatment. England Journal of Medicine. 375: 177-179

This research focuses on the numbers and statistics of obesity lately that have grown significantly. The information seems to be looking for best treatment in such a situation which is not an easy task such as, adults who have been given weight loss medicine to see if it works, yet children and adolescents do not participate in these test trials. So, this means that children and adolescents cannot be treated with medication like this. This study shows the overall difficulty of the obesity situation which helps explain the current situations.

Fuchs Florent, Senat Marie-Victorie, Rey Evelyne. (2017). Impact of Maternal Obesity on the Incidence of Pregnancy Complications in France and Canada. Scientific Reports 7. 10859

In this study the outcomes for obesity in pregnant women came along after they conducted broad research from 2009 to 2011 from more than 46,000 deliveries in Canada and France. This showed a connection between obesity, hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery. It helped highlight the dangers for an overweight group of women which added value to the declarations in their research paper.

Boutelle, K.N., Kirschenbarim, D.S. (1998). Further Support for Consistent Self-Monitoring as A Vital Component of Successful Weight Control. Obesity Research. 6(3): 219-224.

People that attempt to lose weight with self-monitored methods usually participate in an exercise routine and try to reduce their calories when they consume food. But some other behaviors that people commonly involve in their lifestyle changes are different meal pattern changes and trying to substitute healthier foods into their diets. They also try to implement those smaller meals are better when it comes to eating and increasing exercise throughout the week.

Weight loss is related with a decline in depression and enhanced moods. In this study it showed no difference between medical interference and lifestyle change when it came to weight loss. The purpose of the study was to see if weight loss medication and fad diets had clearer success versus the older ways of healthier eating and diets.

James Yeh, Robert Kushner, Gordon Schiff. (2016). “Obesity and Management of Weight Loss.” The New England Journal of Medicine. 375: 1187-1189

This article talks about two different types of the weight loss. With one that includes using medicine while the other criticizes the questionable “healthy” nature of the drug association. Both provide significant reasons that are for and against medicine execution and give great perceptions into the life of obese people that try to lose the extra weight.

Asibekyan Stella, Garvey Timothy. (2017) “Obesity and Cardiometabolic Disease – More than Meets the Eye.” Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 566-568

In this article they are in the attempt to locate a connection between obesity and Type II diabetes. This issue has been discovered, deemed, and argues by numerous scientists over many years. The truth is that a connection exists somewhere and even in theory it makes one think about his/her diet and life habits. Therefore, it is so important to include this type of information in research because it adds weight to show that obesity is entirely bad for anyone’s health.

In this article it talks about what obesity has done in the United States and makes a natural environment suitable for the position of a law to prevent obesity at the start. It has several authors which all seem, for the most part, to be commendable. This will provide a valid information as how the local government can help prevent obesity in our country. There is a good view of what could happen if a law was put into order and how the results will improve over time.

From this article I read that people in obese BMI range mortality rate isn’t that much higher than the people in the normal BMI range. The author of this article supports his ideas by collecting data from the mortality rate of obese people and compares it to normal people doesn’t have too much of a difference. This article helps show that obesity does not cause that many more deaths, it just shows that obesity can contribute to ongoing health issues.

Biro FM, Wien M. Childhood obesity and adult morbidities. The American Journal of Clinical

Nutrition. 2010; 91(5):1499S-1505S.

In this article, the researchers emphasized the increase in obesity and thought it

was due to several reasons. Some of those reasons being genes, food consumption, exercise, and the environment a person comes from and is raised in. It continued to state that the danger of childhood obesity in about two-thirds of children will continue into their adulthood life. The objective of this study was to reveal the seriousness of the impact of the situation for an obese population. Yet, the results they came up with were not enough to express the hypothesis.
