Why do we need to study Developmental Psychology?
Choose something from each module that resonated with you – something that gave you an ah ha moment – or something that caused you to stop for a minute. 
You have to prove it by using examples from the previous units (copy and paste things from the discussion for example)

Topic
Mental disorders
Mental illnesses are considered a set of psychological or behavioral symptoms that affect various aspects of one’s life. A person who is having these signs is distressed by these conditions. Psychological health illness is often used to relate to mental illnesses or psychological conditions, which are more commonly recognized.
Dementia
Dementia is an umbrella term that encompasses various symptoms associated with cognitive impairment, such as memory loss. This is a sign of several underlying brain disorders. This type of disorder affects people primarily over 65 years of age, although it can also start to manifest itself to people who are in their 30s, 40s, and above years of age.
Dementia symptoms
Dementia can cause some of the symptoms mentioned below, which are often caused by memory problems. Some signs people may experience independently, while only caregivers and healthcare professionals detect some (Wiels et al. 2020).

Apathy
Repeating oneself
A challenge to find the correct words
Mood swings
Confusion

Interventions
Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Interventions
Either pharmacological or non-pharmacological approaches could be used to diagnose, treat, or help dementia patients. Both biological and lifestyle changes are included in this category. There is no cure for Dementia, and that there are no disorder medications to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. Instead, these medications, but only in particular circumstances, treat warning signs of Dementia by reducing the development of cognitive decline. These medications, also known as anti-dementia medicines, can be administered by a licensed practitioner, and the treatment chosen would be based on the nature of Dementia (Dyer et al., 2018).
Pharmacological
The availability of Acetylcholine in the brain affects how well these drugs work. It is a neurotransmission and brain chemical that allows nerve cells to communicate with one another. Alzheimer’s disease causes it to become exhausted. As a result, Acetylcholine Blockers, a class of medications designed to increase Acetylcholine receptors in the brain, are often used to treat Dementia. If drugs are administered at the proper dose, they have statistically significant but clinically minor advantages in operational, cognitive, and international results. Conversely, clinical trials and system analyses have found no clear proof that anti-dementia medications can enhance living standards.

Non-Pharmacological Interventions
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy is a type of non-pharmacological treatment for people with mild Dementia. At CST, a qualified practitioner specializing in interpersonal communication and dementia treatment invites the individual with Dementia to engage in therapy sessions with a qualified therapist. And session includes a variety of participant characteristics that are meant to retain and motivate the participants. Food, finance, and current events debates are samples of good themes. Individual, respect, commitment, inclusion, choice, enjoyment, and use of recollection, and trying to maximize capacity and improving relationships are all core concepts of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy. After therapy classes have been conducted, the dementia patients get some relieve from the disorder (Shigihara et al. 2020).
Current Treatments for Reversible Dementia
The cause determines dementia treatment. A few of the causes of Dementia is listed below:

Brain tumors can be treated through surgical operation.
Depression can be maintained through therapy.
Dietary by use of dementia supplements like folate, vitamin A, B-12

Treatment of dementia surgery can be used though it might not be of help to ill the disorder. Surgery is often used to treat blockages that cause Dementia. Angioplasties, among others, are some of the procedures used during surgery. Although surgery could counteract the trigger of Dementia, it cannot counteract the brain damage that has already occurred. If your Alzheimer’s is triggered by a tumor or strain on your mind, operation for dementia care can be beneficial.

In the video titled “The Neuroanatomical Transformation of the Teenage Brain”, Jill Bolte Taylor discusses how the physical growth spurt combined with the shift in hormonal system is all part of our body’s biologies and are responsible for the change in behavior that we experience during our teenage years. This may include changes in our impulse control, the way we think, and the way we express ourselves. This is why adolescents may often be regarded as rebellious due to the sudden changes in their transition to adulthood. This is why the TED Talk “Sleepy Teens: A public health epidemic” is considered a problem because “when teenagers do not get the sleep that they need, their brains, bodies, and behaviors suffer with both immediate and long-term effects.” This lack of sleep also contributes to many mental health problems including substance abuse, depression, and suicide. As teens are developing their brains and undergoing massive transformations, it is only optimal that they get enough rest to be able grow healthily. With this said, teenage years is evidently such an important chapter in a person’s life because several stages of growth happen during this period of time.
