Non-medical prescription drug use is generally defined as use without a
prescription or use for reasons other than what the medication is intended

stimulants (e.g. amphetamines, modavigil, methylphenidate) and other illicit drugs
NOT just being free of disease or illness. Taking care of your body for optimum
health and functioning and disease prevention --> not just the absence of
disease, but the presence of health.
closely related to mental health in a reciprocal way
requires good sleep, exercise, nutrition, and mental
health
Model of mental illness that is based on the interactions between the genes and
the environment.
E.g. Schizophrenia is an illness with a strong genetic component; HOWEVER the
majority of children with parents who have schizophrenia will not develop this
disorder.
Focuses on community-based influences on mental health.
Provides support through addressing factors like work/study conditions,
nutrition, housing, living conditions, socioeconomic, cultural and

meaning that it slows down neural processes and communication
Alcohol is also well known for its properties of causing

The effects include disruptions in normal decision-making, slowing
of thinking and responding, and trouble with motor coordination
Occasional drinking of small amounts of alcohol is unlikely to cause

Helpful thinking
too much worry stresses you and makes difficult situations worse,
and overthinking can make you passive and overgeneralize
Abstract Thinking - dwelling on arguments - WHY? - cause and

perspective - HOW? - more helpful
Concrete problem solving
