Nyle’s Grandma allowed two evacuees, a mother and her very sick son, to settle in her house until the boy got better.
This assignment aims to discuss frameworks used to identify clients’ needs, and also if these frameworks help to meet the needs of the client. I have chosen to base this study on a 20-year-old female who has enduring mental health problems and is currently being nursed on a low secure forensic unit. I am going to give my client the pseudonym Emma; this is in order to uphold her confidentiality and also to adhere to the NMC’s Code of Professional Conduct (2004). Emma has a long history of mental health problems, which date back to her childhood. She has been diagnosed as having Schizophrenia, which she feels has stigmatised her making it more difficult for her to see an optimistic future for herself.
Dr. Jamison provides a personal insight into her depressions and manic episodes and how treatment and medication improved her behavior.

REACTION PAPER AN UNQUIET MIND By Kay Redfield Jamison “I doubt sometimes whether a quiet and unagitated life would have suited me – yet I sometimes long for it” Byron I found Kay Redfield Jamison’s memoir, “An Unquiet Mind” to be a deeply moving account of her personal journey with manic depression. As the title suggests, this dark and foreboding disease haunts its victims, and stays an enigma, until it is finally brought to light by the patient’s desire to be healed. The story revolves itself around Ms. Redfield life from early childhood till she comes into the throes of the disease, and finally her understanding that although not curable is treatable. The structure of the story is broken into four parts, The Wild Blue Yonder, A Not So Fine Madness, This Medicine, Love and An Unquiet Mind. I felt an immediate connection to the story, since her childhood took place at Andrew’s Air Force Base and her father was a military officer.

The person I have chosen for this leader paper assignment is Kay Redfield Jamison. I first learned about Jamison when researching information about Bipolar Disorder for one of my psychology classes. Jamison is a well-known psychiatrist and is admired by many people in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. What I admire the most about Jamison is the one thing that distinguishes Jamison from her colleagues and that is that Jamison has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder herself and for many years kept her disorder a secret from her colleagues and from her extended family, until a book about her disorder was published. It takes a lot of strength for a person, especially one working in the field of psychology/psychiatry, to go public with something

Living With Bipolar Disorder Bipolar Disorder, or Manic-depression as it used to be referred to, affects those that have it in very different ways. Therefore it is important to treat patients, and their disease, as individualized rather than lumping them together by the standards of textbook care. Kay Redfield Jamison is a professor of psychiatry and psychiatric disorders at John Hopkins School of Medicine. She was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, in which people exhibit polarized behaviors ( wild swings in emotion), in the 70’s. In her memoir An Unquiet Mind, she shares some of her own experiences dealing with this disease, and she teaches that it is impossible to live a balanced life without medication and therapy if you are suffering
It is no doubt that Abby does what she does because she cares about only her own safety. Most importantly, her contribution to the story really keeps the story going, even though they can anger the reader! When it is all said and done, Abigail Williams can be seen as an evil woman responsible for many hangings and jail time of very innocent people for falsely accusing them. Will she ever have the heart to
