Hello Everyone!
Today I'm going to be talking about my health project, which is related to my assessment. We needed to research a chosen topic in the health genre, and present it in a creative way.
For me, I had chosen to research PTSD, PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it happens when you experience a very traumatic event. When that scene or moment scars your brain and is the scariest thing that has occurred to you.
Throughout my journey of researching PTSD I have learned a lot of things about it, I actually knew about somethings before-hand. But I wasn't so certain if they were true or over-exaggerated as it was the info from movies.
When I really thought about how someone suffers so much when they go through this illness is really heart-aching. They have to go through that pain and are so afraid thinking they have no one. If we are empathetic towards the people who are diagnosed or not, we can see how painful their lives are.
My tasks were to create my own questions and research about them and answer them myself. There was a color difficulty category for the questions, so some there were three colors and we needed to pick the questions out of the options. We were given a variety of questions and they were different colors. Green meant 'rookie' yellow meant 'pro' and red means 'legend' you were allowed to pick out a combo.
For 'rookie' it would be 2 green questions, 3 yellow questions, and 0 red questions.
For 'pro' it was 2 green questions, 2 yellow questions, and 1 red question.
For 'legend' it was 1 green question, 2 yellow questions, and 2 red questions.
I had decided to go with 'pro' I wanted it to be hard but not too challenging, as I was working by myself. Because you were allowed to have a buddy, I was fine with being alone, and I was able to get it done.
These were my questions:
What happens to your well being when you are affected by PTSD?
Who can/can’t be severely mentally damaged by PTSD?
How does it affect the brain when someone has PTSD?
What other issues does this link with PTSD?
If you would like to see the answers here they are, just click on the questions :)
After that, we needed to come up with strategies and how we would take action in those strategies if you had the illness.
For the presentation, we needed to be creative and make sure we use our imagination by creating it. I decided to move with my friends and do the presentation together because our topics were related. We just needed to make sure we can bring out the aspect of our topic and make them visible.
We decided on a short film, it was a really cool idea! I came up with a lot of ideas for it as I used movies as references. We had different roles in the film, as characters.
Shiela - Therapist
Skyler - Psychopath/Main character
Me - News reporter
I hope you enjoy the film here it is!
