Unit 10 - The IB Curriculum - A Conceptual Model

<ul>
	<li>What is it? It&#39;s like the picture in our minds about an illness. Just as an artist has an idea of what to paint, a patient&#39;s thoughts about their sickness guide their feelings and actions.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: If you think of a cold as just a minor annoyance, you&#39;re likely to act normal, but if you see it as a devastating illness, you may end up in bed all day.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>What are they? Think of schemas as building plans in your brain that help you understand the world. They&#39;re influenced by culture and upbringing.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: In some cultures, a handshake is a polite greeting, while in others, it might be a bow. Your schema helps you know what to do!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Mission: Naeem et al. became mental health detectives to create a program that understands how people in Pakistan feel and think about depression.</li>
	<li>How They Did It: Just like detectives gather clues, they interviewed patients in Urdu, listened to their stories, and analyzed them to find hidden patterns.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>&nbsp;Mystery of the Mind: Perceptions of Depression
	<ul>
		<li>Real-World Example: If you have a headache but think it&#39;s just from stress, you might never guess that it&#39;s a sign of something more serious, like depression.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>&nbsp;Puzzle Pieces: Causes of Depression
	<ul>
		<li>Real-World Example: If you think staying up late to watch movies causes your tiredness, you won&#39;t realize that your constant worry might be the real issue.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>&nbsp;Helping Hands: How People Seek Help
	<ul>
		<li>Real-World Example: If you have a bad cough, you might go to a doctor, or your parents might take you. It&#39;s the same with mental illnesses - how people seek help varies!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>&nbsp;Magic Potions and Modern Medicine: Treatment Beliefs
	<ul>
		<li>Real-World Example: Imagine believing a chocolate bar can cure sadness. Some people may think medicine is the only solution, while others might turn to religious or magical healers.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>What Happened?: The researchers tailored therapy like a custom-made outfit, fitting the unique needs and language of the patients.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: It&#39;s like cooking a traditional dish but with a twist to suit local tastes, ensuring that it&#39;s delicious for everyone!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Insight: Despite feeling unwell, patients carried on with their daily lives. They didn&#39;t let their mental state completely stop them.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: It&#39;s like playing with a sprained ankle in a soccer match. You might be hurt, but you keep playing your role on the team.</li>
</ul>
