Depression in Canada's New Immigrants
A 10 page research paper that addresses this topic. Canada is currently experiencing a huge influx of new immigrants. This factor not only affects the Canadian economy and work market, but also it impacts the health care system.

The framework for this literature review addresses this question specifically in regards to the topic of mental heath and incidence of depression among new immigrants to Canada. As immigration necessarily implies a period of transition, in which cultural and psychological adjustment is required, it seems logical that depression could be a serious problem among new immigrant groups.

10 pages in length. The relationship between diabetes and depression is an unmistakable - and perhaps unavoidable - occurrence of comorbidity. Each of these articles illustrates the importance of patient self-care and appropriate life choices as a means by which to offset the prevalence toward the comorbidity of depression and diabetes. While one study seeks to determine the most provoking factors that draw out the tendency toward both major and minor depression, another finds no more correlation between depression and diabetes than there is with those who do not have diabetes. Similarly, a third study sought to determine if those with either major depression or diabetes were more or less functionally disabled than those with diabetes and comorbid major depression. Another study examines how different locale and ethic composition impacts comorbidity, while the final article provides a broad overview of how depression and diabetes are often misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated.

Depression Era Foods
7 pages in length. Unlike other times of harsh conditions whereby food became a scarce commodity, the Depression era did not elicit the same shortage; in fact, there was an abundance of affordable food that kept people from consuming otherwise inedible provisions that stood in for familiar food. The key word that differentiated the Depression era from other times of hardship is inexpensive, inasmuch as providers simply had to scale down the quality of their food choices in order to meet their family's needs. Moreover, the ability to can foods, bake bread, churn butter and in essence make as much food from one's own hands so as to avoid having to purchase ready-made supplies made it more financially feasible for families to move through the Depression era with minimal concern for nourishment. And because many were farmers, produce and other crops were readily available for the family and for sharing. Bibliography lists 6 sources.[Send Me This Paper]
