Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.

Describe the historical approaches to mental health care​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

mark brainliest

Explanation:

For much of history, the mentally ill have been treated very poorly. It was believed that mental illness was caused by demonic possession, witchcraft, or an angry god (Szasz, 1960). For example, in medieval times, abnormal behaviors were viewed as a sign that a person was possessed by demons. If someone was considered to be possessed, there were several forms of treatment to release spirits from the individual. The most common treatment was exorcism, often conducted by priests or other religious figures: Incantations and prayers were said over the person’s body, and she may have been given some medicinal drinks. Another form of treatment for extreme cases of mental illness was trephining: A small hole was made in the afflicted individual’s skull to release spirits from the body. Most people treated in this manner died. In addition to exorcism and trephining, other practices involved execution or imprisonment of people with psychological disorders. Still others were left to be homeless beggars. Generally speaking, most people who exhibited strange behaviors were greatly misunderstood and treated cruelly. The prevailing theory of psychopathology in earlier history was the idea that mental illness was the result of demonic possession by either an evil spirit or an evil god because early beliefs incorrectly attributed all unexplainable phenomena to deities deemed either good or evil.
