This can include exercise or relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation. People with a history of mental illness should probably not become medical assistants, as they may have less ability to handle stressful
Susan Smith thought she was being raised by two loving parents, but it turned out to be with a mother that was blind to the fact that her daughter was being abused by a man that played the part of daddy. Susan was forced to become the woman that everyone expected her to become but her avoidance of receiving help for her issues may have caused her to break. There is no known cure for Dependent Personality Disorder, but it is recommended that a person that is diagnosed seeks the assistance of a psychiatrist immediately. Had Susan Smith pursued help from the outside prior to her making the decision of murder, she would have been able to receive the proper guidance that she should have received as a young
The very nature of healthcare is one of compassion, caring, healing and empathy. Those that work in healthcare, such as nurses, physicians, psychologists and emergency medical personnel enter their chosen fields to make a difference in the life of others, to care and assist those in need. Often times, it is this caring, empathetic nature in caregivers causes a condition termed compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is combination of symptoms including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual depletion associated with caring for patients in emotional pain and physical distress(Sammartino, 2012).

They may just make up excuses for the way they are being treated. Mental abuse happens behind closed doors so most, if not all of the victims’ friends and family are unaware of the problems. The family may not even be aware of the abuse because they rarely see their loved one anymore. This can be from the abuser isolating the victim.

When McMurphy discovers that many of the patients are in the hospital because they don’t have the courage to get out into the real world he gets upset but also embarrassed because it is evident that Nurse Ratched’s therapy and methods to help the men are designed to undermine the little confidence they do have, not encourage it. In my opinion Nurse Ratched’s should be put into the asylum for abusing her authority and dehumanizing the patients and replacing it with blind conformity. McMurphy, is the person who sees everything that Nurse Ratched is doing. By showing the other patients how to create their own standards of sanity, McMurphy greets a bunch of institutionalized nervous wrecks back towards their humanity. McMurphy and I both think that society is corrupt and if you are no danger to yourself or society you are not insane, you may be different but you are most definitely not
