BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As a part of the requirement for Post Basic Bachelor in Nursing (PBBN) Curriculum of
Purbanchal University (PU) under Mental Health Nursing (Practicum), we were required to
do practical in Mental Hospital, Lagankhel for 2 weeks. Here we were expected to do a
detailed study of one case.
After having a glance in all cases, I selected a case of Bipolar Affective Disorder
(BPAD) with Mania. This case study was done in order to gain comprehensive knowledge
about the disease and provide holistic care to the patient as well as family. I selected this
case since BPAD, Mania is a mood disorder. And the prevalence rate of mood disorders is
1.5 percent, and it is uniform throughout the world i.e. it is equal in developed or
developing country.
This case study includes all the information about the patient, his disease and
management done for his disease.
