Mental Health Care Case Study

Cassie presents with multidimensional and complex problems. The problems are inter related and need to be addressed concurrently. This client presents with a history of anxiety and childhood sexual abuse which manifests as post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD], social phobia (social anxiety disorder) and depression. Wagner (2008) reports a strong association between social anxiety disorder and depression. Post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DMS-5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) specifically includes sexual violation as one of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Consequentially, co-morbid symptoms create dis-regulated behaviours which may have long

As I entered Mrs. Brown’s room I introduce myself, my role and the reason of being there and asked her how she would like me to address to her. Being supervised by the RN I asked for an informed consent prior to commencing a focused holistic assessment and then I asked what would be a good time for me to come back. I did recall from a handover that Mrs. Brown has a Clexane which

The medical field has a wide range of opportunities that many plan to seek. Some, and hopefully a majority, pursue this career in order to better society one healthy solution at a time; however others simply pursue it to exceed parental expectations or to sit in a higher tax bracket. Personally, my reason for pursuing this career, through St Mary’s outstanding program, is altogether unique and abnormal to say the least. Normality never made an impact on the world. I, instead, stray far from the beaten path.

Firstly, the analysis will address the standard of mental health care across each category of prison individually, discussing good examples of mental health support, but also, where there are failures. With this, there is a visual map of how the data was categorised. The analysis will then thematically explore the range of recommendations from every prison category to create an overarching conclusion of standards in reference to general failures across the prison system, the impact this has on current prisoners, and could have for the future of the prison institutional structure of mental health care. The standards that are assessed throughout this analysis are from the Standards for Prison Mental Health Services document (RCPSYCH, 2016),

trained, board certified physician. As he would interact with patients, asking them pointed questions to rule in or rule out his working diagnoses, I would visualize myself as a practicing psychiatrist doing the same. In my psychiatry rotation, I had the opportunity to see a teenager who was suffering from depression and suicidal ideation. She had an interest in playing guitar and the psychiatrist asked her if she would like to bring her guitar to the hospital one day and play for all of us. She played her guitar and we all applauded her performance and told her how good she was with her guitar. She smiled at us and I saw her mood change dramatically from a reserved sad hopeless girl a few days earlier to a happy and proud guitarist. The acknowledgment we gave her led to a glimmer of hope for a moment and I was fulfilled with her

Robbins and Judge define "attitudes" as “evaluative statements or judgments concerning objects, people, or events.” Jessica’s attitudes towards her job switched from favorable to unfavorable after a change in policy. Henceforth, she was less productive in her job and expressed signs of low job satisfaction. After leaving her Mental Health Technician position for a job in Counseling, she was able to return to her normal, happy and productive self. This case study illuminates the direct correlation between job performance, job satisfaction, and attitude.

Team Recommendations: Joshua should continue in the program and continue working on sustaining his commitment towards the treatment goals and objectives established.

Nearly half of Americans facing mental health conditions go without essential support and services – while many others only get minimal care. I urge you to take and stand and vote “yes” to S. 2860, the Mental Health Reform Act of 2016.

"I appreciate you finding time for me. Doctor. Sorry. Heather" Jarrod responded as he brought his gaze back to hers after having surveyed the room, and the view of the city the seventeenth floor location provided. Despite the fact he'd been consumed by darker side of humanity ever since he'd hit puberty, and the recent spate of rapes had killings were far from the only depraved acts he'd ever committed, this was the first time Jarrod had seen the inside of a Psychiatrists office. He quickly reached the conclusion, judging from the furniture and lush surroundings, that the profession must be a lucrative one, and Heather MacMillan was probably doing okay for herself. Only appropriate for someone who had to deal with crazies all day.

At the hospital, there was a surgeon who looked at her records and charts, found nothing abnormal, so decided to ask her if she had ever been diagnosed with Lupus. It turned out that she did have lupus, and it only took a small blood test to determine; something all the other doctors my mother went to could have ordered easily. If my mother’s doctors had been more proactive instead of dismissing her as crazy, her stroke could have been avoided. That was the event that made me want to be a doctor, because I felt that if a patient felt so strongly about something, I would do everything in my power to ensure that they are truly okay. What caused me to want to become a psychiatrist was one of my friends from the fifth grade of elementary school. In the fifth grade, I had just moved to the area and did not know anyone, nor did I talk to anyone. Then, one day there was a new transfer student; a girl from Ghana, African, named Jasmine. Jasmine was bullied, a new student, like myself, and also did not have any friends, like myself again, so decided that it would not
