Additional information is provided by the study of children and adolescents with common mental health disorders, treatment, medications, and family issues. Behaviors associated with eating disorders are also discussed. Each area of study provides the student the opportunity to examine cultural considerations. The psycho-pharmacology and nutritional needs for each category of disruptions in mental health are also covered. Students will have the opportunity to examine their own feelings related to each topic. 3 semester hours. Pre-requisites: NUR 1021 & 1032 or NUR 1040 (if applicable), SCI 1250, PSY 2100.
