Treating And Dealing With Patient Mental Illness From A Nurse's Perspective

Abstract: 15 pages in length. Seven patients suffer from various aspects of mental illness: bipolar, anxiety, depression, Alzheimer's and organic brain disease (schizophrenia). Indeed, there is infinitely more to the proper treatment of these individuals than merely filling them full of prescriptive medications; rather, a deeper understanding of the underlying common denominators between and among these seven patients will afford a significantly better and more successful treatment program. Inclusive of such a program will be that of nurse-instructed teaching plans and coping skills for both patient and family members; applicable medication and therapies; as well as types of physicians. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
