Typically, the Mental Health Act covers two groups of people, those who develop depression or dementia in later life and people with lifelong mental health disorders like manic depression or schizophrenia. Social workers, GP’s and trained mental health doctors each assess the person and decide together whether they need to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Patients have a number of rights once they have been admitted into a psychiatric hospital; these include being informed of the reasons why they have been admitted and their rights to appeal, being allowed to have the case reviewed at a Mental Health Act Review Tribunal and to have a commissioner from the Mental Health Act Commission visit them regularly. Informal patients can be asked to give consent to the treatment they are being offered, formal patients will also be asked to give consent, but if they refuse the treatment can still go ahead in certain circumstances. ECT and Neurosurgery differ from usual treatments.
Bipolar is put into four different categories. Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Mental heath experts separate this disorder into these categories because bipolar symptoms appear differently in everyone. When their doctor understands what type they have, the doctor can care for them with the right treatment.
The scale standardizes consciousness assessment and helps doctors predict patient prognosis. The Glasgow Coma Scale was first published in 1974 (Teasdale G, Jennett B. Assessment of coma and impaired consciousness. A practical scale. Lancet 1974,2:81-84. )
This is how scientist have been able to come up with medication to treat mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. They have proven that there is a connection with genes and chemical changes in the brain that causes theses illnesses in the mind but with the right treatment, it can adjust the changes and chases the illness away. What is the historical development of biological psychology? While psychology is very broad, it is important to know the history of biological psychology because some of the past experiences have shaped into this school of thought to what it is today by providing us with a better
Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? The initial consultation is such an important factor in the treatment of clients because it allows an insight in to the client’s needs and reasons for attending for treatment. The more information that can be gleaned at the initial interview the better it will be for the therapist to provide the most effective treatment for that particular individual. The initial consultation is a chance for the person receiving therapy to understand is going to happen during hypnosis and what they can expect from the treatment An initial consultation form could be sent to clients to fill and return before the interview in order to give the therapist a better idea of the questions to ask when they meet.
This information will aid the hypnotherapist in building a rapport with the patient; also allow a connection trust to be formed. Of course the information acquired on the patient is the key to the initial assessment and to establish if the therapist is necessary but inevitably it comes down to the therapist and their manner. The reason why an ethical therapist would offer a free initial consultation is because it would show the commitment to the client through devoting their time to them, to talk, get to know them and make them feel comfortable. A hypnotherapist can find out why the client has come to see them, what their problems are and whether or not hypnotherapy is right for them, and whether they have had hypnotherapy before if not then the therapist can explain to the client what hypnotherapy is and how it can help them, they also will need to find out whether they are on medication or not, and to see if they will need their gp’s permission before giving hypnotherapy. The first consultation can be free and last up to 30 minutes.
Sarah arrived at the hospital with a teacher from the ECC. Therefore it is assumed that the ECC would have a signed consent form allowing them to seek medical care for Sarah (Department of Education, Science and Training 1993). The ECC will also be able to provide documentation of any pertinent information regarding Sarah’s health requirements. This gives the medical team initial basic information such as allergies or current medications and allows them to conduct an initial baseline assessment (Staunton & Chiarella 2003). The nurse admitting Sarah will require consent from Sarah’s parent or legal guardian who in this case is her aunt.
Some people may have very similar needs when it comes to treatment and or care but before new treatments and care plans are introduced it is important to carry out a research project or study to investigate the benefits of others. Charities and organisations whose purpose is to raise awareness and improve the care of individuals with illnesses, diseases or disorders can base and focus their research on better diagnosis so that they can identify people’s needs earlier as they can then start to help the patient/client by ensuring the correct treatment is given to them as soon as possible. Highlighting the gaps in provision Highlighting the gaps in the provision that is already available is important for health and social care workers also. This is because that gap could be affecting a huge amount of people who are ill or need assistance and can’t get the help that they need because the services just aren’t available to them. The needs of communities are constantly changing and new gaps in provision appear over time.
The patient needs to understand his new medical condition in order to gain understanding of the disease process, signs and symptoms, complications, medication regimen, follow-up appointment as well as the benefits of physical activity, diet and weight control. By explaining what causes a myocardial infarction, sign and symptoms, complications using educational video, traced of the heart to demonstrate how it functions will help the patient. Modifying dietary choices, weight control and physical activity will promote better health. This process should be repeated until patient and family voice understanding. Patient and family involvement in plan and care is very vital.
This makes communication challenging and the care worker needs to learn strategies to improve her sensitivity. Some staff will work with clients with dementia and need a background in this area, to make them better workers and more effective communicators 1.2 - It is important to ‘lead’ in a proactive way, so that
