Situational management in mental health is
relating to patients appropriately to find the source of the problem, as well
as finding a solution to fix the problem. Disabilities come in all forms,
including schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress, bipolar, depression, and
multiple personality and so on. When a person has a mental disability we must
always seek out the problems that lay beneath the surface of the diagnose. Each
disability has its own unique symptoms, yet may include symptoms of other
diagnosis. For example, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder has symptoms including
flashbacks and nightmares; likewise, Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)
(Currently Known as Dissociate Identities) patients often suffer flashbacks and
nightmares as well. Therefore, you must look at all symptoms of each diagnose
before concluding or deducing what we are dealing with. Schizophrenia is
another complicated disability. Psychotics, Schizophrenia and several other
types of diagnoses including different types of schizophrenia often have
similar symptoms. For example, schizophrenias often hallucinate, and so will a
patient with psychosis. The difference in the diagnose is that schizophrenias
often have its own symptoms, and are often more extensive than those with
psychosis. We can see from this information then that we need a situational
management solution in order to deal with each problem in the various diagnoses.
Looking at Schizophrenia the situational
management should be as follow: Schizophrenias should automatically receive
medications to prevent further complications, including harming self and
others. Schizophrenias often need long-term therapeutic treatment, and
management of their life. Often these people cannot find a resolve since Schizophrenia
is often permanent due to the lack of knowledge on the complicated purpose of
the disability. Psychotics are often difficult to treat as well, since little
information is available regarding the problem. Psychotics are another type of
disability that needs long-term treatment and medications to avoid further
complications. When the two go unnoticed, the result could prove disastrous,
since the symptoms are often a potential danger. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
is also complicated, since at one time the diagnose was only issued to war
survivors. Now studies are proving that Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is
extended further than war, and found that many persons today suffer from
Posttraumatic Stress. Although the diagnose has its own complications the
therapist often has to take another route to treat these patients. They often
include medications, but sometimes have to take a different approach in therapy
to treat the patients. Since posttraumatic stress has different levels, the
situational management solution has to conform to the level of posttraumatic
stress. Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is a diagnosis in itself and is not
related to strict mental illness; rather it is more a neurological issue. Multiple
Personality patients are often brilliant, and very observant, simply because
amnesia will carry them to a distant part of the brain. Multiple Personality
Disorder is complicated in the sense very few understand the complexity of the
disorder. To treat this type of diagnose you will need a direct management with
extensive skills. The person that is suffering with this disability is often
easier to treat those common disabilities, simply because the patient will
often submit to the therapeutic treatment, and the only time it becomes extremely
dangerous is through the Integration process. This is because the patient will
relive extreme trauma through Projections and can become dangerous since the
person might harm his or her self. The Projections are an actual event that
took place that included trauma, and the pictures are often real-based making
it difficult for the patient to decipher. Often at this level, the person will
alter and another personality will take the spot. This diagnose is another
long-term treatment, and medications will often cause more harm than good. Bipolar
is another widespread disability that is affecting millions everyday. This
particular disability can be treated with medicines that reconstruct a
particular chemical that is absent from the brain. Regardless of what the
disability is the patient must be treated distinctly from other patients. Even
if a person has bipolar, the symptoms are not always the same in ever case. For
example, one person may have suffered childhood abuse, while another has
suffered the loss of a family member, obviously the first person will also need
situational management that includes trauma reduction remedies.
