Inside Fahmeena Odetta's Head

Mental Health

I generally do not like to discuss my health condition and health history in a public way, but I think it is important to share some of this information in this blog.

Note that I was diagnosed with a fairly minor mental health condition that is not associated with weird thoughts, thoughts of suicide, and so on. I look normal and I can perform activities like any normal person. I am not dependent on anyone to take care of me (I did require assistance after my surgery and when I had problems with my feet). A nurse visited my home after surgery to help take care of me. When I had foot problems, I stayed in the hospital and then in rehab until it was the appropriate time to leave for home. As I mentioned in this post: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2024/01/update_18.html, the nurses and nursing aides helped to clean me up in bed.

I was in the hospital several times because of my reported mental health condition. Once, I recall that I was admitted for medication avoidance. There was some misunderstanding about what pills I needed to take.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
