Ethical Issues In Patient Care

Mental illnesses affect the black community but it also affects the home setting and women. The reason why it affects the home setting is it pull the family apart from each other. By having one family member that is depressed or having anxiety, it 's breaking down the family and the home setting. In a woman 's perspective, the family cannot be a unit unless this problem is address in the proper way. As soon as a parent is aware of the symptoms he or she should reach out for help.

If the brain does not have anything to occupy itself then a man or woman will go into a state of depression. Being isolated from the outside world for so long caused her brain to start hallucinating. Also, the author of the book “The Yellow Wallpaper” Charlotte Perkins Gilman stated “ I wrote the yellow wallpaper with its embellishments and additions to carry out the ideal…and sent a copy to the physician who so nearly drove me mad...it has to my knowledge saved one woman from a similar fate-so terrifying her family that they let her out into normal activity and she recovered.” A woman who had had the rest cure along with the narrator and the author has either driven them insane or to the borderline of insanity. The effects of the rest cure on many women were devastating to their health and is a unreliable treatment to treating postpartum depression. Jane’s efforts to avoid others from looking at the hideous painting, shows how that

After she was released from Mclean mental hospital, she requested that she be allowed to see the diagnostic of the doctor.

Susanna wrote about her life in a curious mind set. She was never upset about where she was, but she never truly knew why she was there or how she actually got

The words “psychopath” and “sociopath” are thrown around quite often and commonly confused, but please bear with me as we dive deeper into the true meaning of the words. In the early 1800s, doctors who worked with mental patients began to notice that some of their patients who appeared outwardly normal had what they termed a “moral depravity” or “moral insanity,” in that they seemed to possess no sense of ethics or of the rights of other people. The term “psychopath” was first applied to these people. The term was changed to “sociopath” in the 1930s to emphasize the damage they do to society. Modern researchers and doctors have returned to using the term “psychopath”.

In the book Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen, one of the biggest focal points is mental illness. Mental illness can be tough to talk about, simply because the phrase “mental illness” encompasses such a wide range of conditions and conjures up images of deranged people, but it is very important, especially in this book. There is a certain stigma that people who are put into mental hospitals because they have medical problems or are insane and a possible danger to society. While this is sometimes true, it is far more common for patients to need help for a disorder, but just don’t know where to go or what to do, and can end up putting themselves or someone else in danger. This is the case with Susanna, who is the autobiographical main character of the book.

Malala was however affected physically when she was shot but this event took place at one time whereas Amari’s conflicts took place frequently which affected her mental ethos more severely than Malala’s. Another great contrast was the people that were affected by both struggles that the characters fought against. Malala was not looking to better just herself but mainly young girls and women who seek to become educated. Amari mainly wanted to escape because her life was severely on the line as well as Polly and Tidbit. In Copper Sun Sharon M. Draper does not go on to discuss whether or not Amari went back to help other slaves escape.

If the narrator had someone to be there for her and someone to understand where she is coming from, would have changed this girl 's life completely. The reason the narrator reverts to drugs is because she seeks friends. With many people walking in and out of her life it seems as of “Alice” can 't decipher between the good and bad friends.

Ginny does not understand why, so she pushes him to hard to the point where he has to go to a mental hospital. Ginny changes throughout the book and understands how to listen to other people’s opinions. You should listen to others in order for them to listen to you and open to you, instead of just pushing them to do whatever you want them to do.

In 1999, a mental health court was established to therapeutically manage mentally ill people accused of a crime (King County TV, 2010). Unlike a conventional court system, a behavioral health court treats a mentally ill individual with more respect and understanding.

During these flashbacks, it can overwhelm one’s sense of reality and make it seem the event is happening again for the first time, “Mimicking the real thing because it provokes a similar level of stress in the body” (Trauma Recovery). The aspect of the heart pounding and the preparation of muscles to react as they did at the time can have some patients believe it is occurring a second time, making any other symptoms worse. Emotional breakdowns are common after experiencing flashbacks and can lead to the patient having energy outbursts where it is hard for them to control themselves.
