Conclusion section
The relationship of
obesity and depression is a young topic that research is now just getting into.
For future research papers, it would probably be best to see if there are any
other risk factors that may cause these to happen to each other; such as ethnicity,
possibly what age is more prevalent and what is the best way of treating this
comorbidity. This would be helpful for the community because it allows the
population to see what other factors play a role and allows education of who is
at greater risk and why. What age is it most common for both disorders because
than a plan can be set to look for these symptoms during the patients, this is
important because adolescent isn’t the most common age for depression, so
seeing how a major impact of depression; such as, being diagnosed with Major
depression disorder will affect one’s weight and lifestyle. Also, finding out
what method of treatment is most helpful. This is important because just
finding out there is a problem may allow the community to know and realize what
is going on, but it doesn’t help if they don’t know who to be treated. It could
be exercise to help bring down the weight, possibly boosting confidence or it
could be therapy by improving one’s confidence and it could even be both. It is
possible to see other researchers going down this path or even going into more
detail on one of the topics that are used in this paper. If this is done the
papers most likely to be used are going to be journal articles that show proof
of how a possible topic is shown, it is also crucial that the writer also
understands the data, allowing them to describe how it is a good article. A
possible topic that could be very helpful is how bullying is a major
contributor to depression for those that are obese. This could have been a crucial topic for this
literature review and possibly could have a significant impact on the
adolescents lives. The future of this topic will grow and become more detailed
because obesity and depression have been known as a growing factor in this
country and could be a common topic.

Ch.7
The beginning of this chapter talks about a story on how
public health has changed and how battles we are supposed to win, we have lost
now. After this it talks about how a British academy found a possible look at
what public health will look like in 2040. There were many things that have
improved; such as, nutrition, air quality and smoking. The problem is that as
these improve, it also shows areas that are getting worst; such as, sedentary
lifestyles, impact of sugar, fast food and the impacts of stressful lifestyles
and worsening of mental health.
The chapter then goes on bringing back the definition of
public health. The purpose of this is that it shows that public health has
changed throughout time and will continue to change. The reason for this is
that public health changes based on its environment and what the current
situations are. This is shown how bacteria was the main concern for the
beginning of public health and now how chronic diseases are the current problem
focused on. It also talks about how these focuses have made advancements in
public health.
The next section is topics and tactics, it talks about how
public health seems to take care of the community when there is a problem. An
example of this is when the swine flu arrived in 2009 and the WHO was criticized
for overreacting , but as the WHO explained it was better to overreach instead
of taking the risk of the situation being worst. Now public health is trying to
change their lifestyles to prevent chronic disease; for example, they are
trying to control the environment such as labeling now.
It then goes talking about how tactics will need to be changing.
It first starts talking about how antimicrobial resistance is now becoming a
bigger and bigger problem from the overuse of antibiotics. Genetics testing is
now a greater part of our health because it allows scientist to find out what
connections of genes and diseases there are.
This chapter then goes on talking about Ethics and how it is
their duty to do no harm. It then goes on talking about target groups,
Education, Social Media, New Technology. These are all important because as
education grows, the better the population will be prepared for diseases. As
different diseases come, new target groups will come, just as now the older
populations are targeted more. Now last is with social media and new
technology, it is better to keep the world notified from the current events.
I find it interesting that all these are new topics, but as
times change there will be new advancements, leading to new tactics and innovative
ways to promote public health. As technology gets better there could also be
causing latest problems, just as now how there is over testing and overreaction
to any sign of diseases. I will be able to use this information in the public
health by knowing that new technology will allow for new ways to reach the
community and as stated before that as times change, so will the definition of
public health.
