In this Psychological Problems lesson for GCSE Psychology, we’ll explore how mental health issues have changed in incidence over time and look at the characteristics of positive mental wellbeing, including cultural variations in beliefs about what it means to be “mentally healthy.” We’ll also discuss how modern living can present challenges—such as isolation—and how increased awareness is reducing social stigma around mental health problems, making it easier for people to seek help.

Next, we’ll see how significant mental health issues can impact both individuals and society. On a personal level, struggles like depression and other conditions can affect relationships, day-to-day functioning, and even physical health. On a wider scale, we’ll consider the need for additional social care, the potential influence on crime rates, and the implications for the economy. We’ll also delve into the characteristics and diagnosis of clinical depression, from unipolar to bipolar, and explore biological and psychological explanations for why people experience these conditions.

Finally, we’ll turn our attention to addiction—discovering how it’s defined, diagnosed, and understood from both nature (e.g., genetic vulnerability) and nurture (e.g., peer influence) perspectives. You’ll learn about the interventions that can help, from antidepressant medications and CBT for depression to aversion therapy and self-help groups for addiction.
