Lesson
Mental and Emotional Health
1

This lesson is taken for two

weeks (Week 1 and Week 2)
 What’sIn
According to the World Health Organization’s Ottawa Charter
for Health Promotion (1986). “Health is a resource for everyday life, not
the objective of living”. This means that health is where we get our
means to function normally in all the things we do. Health has six (6)
dimensions which contribute total well-being of a person.
In your previous lesson, you learned about the six dimensions
of health which contribute to the total well-being of a person. What are
these dimensions? Complete the diagram.

What Is It
DO YOU KNOW?

Do you think that stress is always something negative? Actually,

stress can either be negative or positive!

Time to Read!
STRESS is defined as the psychological for (or physical) and
emotional responses to a significant or unexpected change or
disruption in one’s life. (Payne, et al., 2005)
It may also refer to “what you feel when you react to pressure, either
from the outside world (school, family, friends) or from yourself i.e.
wanting to fit in, wanting to do well in school.

The word stressor refers to the things that make a person

stressed. There are two different kinds of stress- eustress and
distress.

EUSTRESS refers to a positive and healthy response of the body

from a stressor. It produces good effects to one’s well-being. For
example, a person, who studied for long hours then took and got an
outstanding grade in the exam, may feel happiness and enjoyment.

On the other hand, DISTRESS refers to a negative reaction of

the body towards a given stressor. It may cause problems in health,
alter the mood and emotions, and even affect the way a person thinks.
For example, when a person woke up late for work, he or she may feel
anger and disappointment.
It is usually easy to identify whether a person is stressed. Again,
stress is the physical response of the body.
Therefore, one may feel and experience different changes in the health
condition. The body changes that occur from experiencing stress is
called general adaptation (GAS). According to Hans Selye (1936) and
Sincero (2012), there are three phases of this syndrome.

In addition, the following medical problems and concerns are linked
with negative stress (Payne, et al.,2007):

diarrhea, constipation)

security and self-esteem. The following are examples of life changes that affect
family life, and which may cause stress.

earthquakes, and other disasters may be very stressful.

Quarter 3 – Module 3:
COPING WITH DEATH AND DYING

What is It

What is Death?
 Death is a situation that is not within a person’s control. Each person
reacts differently to such situation and has their own way of managing grief.
Hence, dealing with grief differs from person to person. Some may take shorter
period while longer for others. Sadness and mild depression are normal when
one is in the stage of mourning. Learning how to cope with the loss of a loved
one is necessary to avoid a more serious mental disorder such as depression.

What is Grief?

Grief is an intense emotion from a loss, disaster, or misfortune. There are

two terms used to describe the intensity of grief for the death and of a loved one.

a. low-grief-death- a death caused by prolonged sickness or anticipated

death showing little emotion after death due to experienced grief prior to
death.
b. high-grief-death- unexpected death where grieving process may be more
emotional and longer because no preparation for death was done such as
death due to accident.
What is Loss?

Lossoccurs when someone dies or a life situation changes or ends.

What is Bereavement?

Bereavementis the period of sadness and loneliness that we experience from a

loss. The time spent in a period of bereavement depends on how attached the
person was to the person who died, and how much time was spent anticipating
the loss.

What is Mourning?

MOURNING is the process by which people adapt to a loss. Mourning is also

influenced by cultural customs, rituals, and society's rules for coping with loss.

GRIEVING is important and healthy to

one’s well-being.
5 STAGES OF GRIEF

It is important that it is normal for people to go through these stages. The length
of time spent for each stage varies from one person to another depending on his
mental and emotional states of health.

This stage is a healthy response to a stressful

DENIAL situation. It acts as a temporary buffer to help
protect the individual.
“This can’t be happening to me”.

ANGER After denial you become angry, resentful, and

hostile. Anger may be directed at loved ones and
expressed through shouting, complaining, and
bitterness. These emotions are not always easy to
deal with.
“Why is this happening? Who is to blame? “

This stage typically occurs throughout the dying

process.
Before a loss, it seems like you will do anything if
BARGAINING only your loved one would be spared. You bargain
to prolong life of your loved one.
“Make this not happen, and in return I will or I will
never be angry at my dad again if you’ll just let him
live.”.

This depression stage feels as though it will last

forever. It is important to understand that this
DEPRESSION depression is not a sign of mental illness. It is the
appropriate response to a great loss.
“I’m too sad to do anything”.

This stage is about accepting the reality that our

ACCEPTANCE loved one is physically gone and recognizing that
this new reality is the permanently reality.
“I’m at peace with what happened”.
 How is love and care expressed effectively to a dying
relative or friend

1. Spend time with them.

2. Share your love and good memories.
3. Encourage talk about individual’s death.
4. Listen carefully to the feelings and thoughts of the sick person.
5. Reassure the person with affection by holding their hands or hugging.

What can we do for someone grieving a loss?

1. Be available during difficult times.

2. Express thoughtfulness by sending a card or calling the person.
3. Attend memorial services.
4. Have empathy for the person’s loss.
5. Encourage talking about the person’s grief.
6. Recognize signs of grief that are unhealthy.
7. Sympathize with family members and friends.
8. Allow time for person to grieve.
