Psychiatric treatments

I began to be interested in this career two years ago, when I discovered better for my stepmother. She treats children with autism with a master degree in psychology, goes to their homes and gives them therapy, it is not exactly the same as you would an occupational therapist but I 'd say it 's the closest thing I 've seen the area that interests me, Mental Health. That could be considered one of the reasons for my taste for this world also included something happened in my life. When I was…

means, the definition for it is “Deinstitutionalization was a government policy that moved mental health patients out of state-run "insane asylums" into federally-funded community mental health centers. It began in the 1960s as a way to improve treatment of the mentally ill, while also cutting government budgets”. Now I will talk about the main causes for Deinstitulization in the 1960’s United States. Three societal and scientific changes caused deinstitutionalization in 1960’s…

Issues regarding Mental Institutions and Asylums People who are mentally ill are stigmatized as being dangerous, unpredictable and crazy. However, this is only a misconception. Once the mentally ill receive proper care and treatment for their illnesses, the road to recovery is not as difficult as it seems. Sylvia Plath, the award winning author of The Bell Jar, has been personally affected by mental illness, specifically suicidal depression. This illness has sadly caused Plath to take her own…

mental illness is at a rise. There is a wide range of questions about the treatment of the mentally ill in the justice system and wether prisons are a suitable place for the mentally ill. When a person commits a crime or breaks the law, they are usually taken into custody and sent to jail or prison without being evaluated properly. Instead of being sent to a hospital or a mental health facility to receive the proper treatments, individuals are sent to prisons where they receive little to no…

I would like to start this letter by addressing the fact that I admire your work and dedication of running a mental institution. I know it must be a difficult task, and you seem to be doing the best that you can. However, it has come to my attention that one of your nurses, Nurse Ratched, has been treating not only the patients poorly, but your employees poorly as well. As a monitor of local Mental Health Hospitals, it is my top priority to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those staying in…

place where they can afford medications and treatment—because it’s free and required by federal laws (Ford 7). Although medications do help for the length of time they are in jail, once they leave, the mentally ill are forced to pay for their medications: which most are unable to do. However, overall the treatment plans for mentally ill in most jails are largely unhelpful. Although medications help repress their illness, solitary confinement worsens psychiatric symptoms and can lead to…

One in four adults in the United States (61.5 million) is affected by a mental illness (McEnaney). Of the 61.5 million adults suffering from a mental illness, only 40% (24.6 million) are getting the proper treatment for it (Nieves). Additionally, 1/3 (250,000) of homeless people in the U.S. suffer from serious mental illness, and that number increases every day (Nieves). While health care for mentally challenged individuals in the United States has improved since colonial times, their care today…

ruled, and a large hand full of associations have been made to support psychiatric patients. Many people have changed their opinions on the mentally ill because they’ve finally opened their eyes to what people have to suffer through. People have been trying to treat mental illnesses since 5000 BCE. People once upon a time thought that mental illnesses were caused by demonic possession or a supernatural phenomena. Treatment in this era was actually chipping at the skull, or Trephining or…

of people that shared the same manner of thinking. In fact, the United States still has failed to provide the services that mentally ill people need and the Medicare law is injustice against those with a mental illness(Szabo). There has not been treatment provided in community, hospitals, crowded state and local jails which has left many untreated mentally ill patients on the streets(Szabo). There is a strong relationship between stigma and normality because normality in society is what’s…

It also is difficult to define “medically necessary” when it comes to treatment one type of treatment does not fit all mentally ill patients. There are some clients that it takes time to get their treatment right. The issue seems to be with providers who cannot get the authorizations needed because treatment decisions have strict cost caps. This hurts the patients as treatments are delayed and it creates strains on the providers. I feel to provide quality of care to those…
