This unit critically examines the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of major mental health conditions across the lifespan, centering the stories of individuals who have experienced these conditions. The mental health conditions discussed are; anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder), obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, trauma- and stress-related disorders, depressive disorders, childhood disorders, eating disorders (such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating), addictive behaviors (including drug, alcohol, and gambling), psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and sexual dysfunctions. This unit utilises a culturally reflective lens that considers the various determinants influencing mental health, particularly within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations and First Nations communities. By fostering greater awareness and understanding, the unit aims to offer culturally sensitive insights into mental health, address the challenges and stigma faced by those living with mental health conditions, and explore the dynamic and evolving nature of psychological research and practice.
