Case Study, Mohr: CHAPTER 1, Introduction to Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing


In completing the case study, students will be addressing the following learning objectives:

Explain elements that contribute to mental health.


Review trends, problems, and goals related to the delivery of mental health care and

treatment of mental illness.




1. Karen is a 25-year-old white woman who lives alone in an apartment with her dog. Karen

has been divorced for 2 years and is taking Prozac prescribed by her psychiatrist for

depression. Karen and her boyfriend had been discussing marriage until he told her that he

wanted to end their relationship. Karen became even more depressed and could not work for

a week. Karen returned to work, refusing to discuss her issues with family, friends, or

coworkers. She did, however, make an appointment to see a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Karen told the nurse that she was making some changes in her life. Karen said that she and a

girlfriend were joining a gym program for workouts and a social group for young men and

women. Karen stated that she realizes that her former boyfriend had not been committed to

her, and she anticipates meeting and dating other young men from the adult social group.

,Karen also said that she thinks that the gym exercise will be beneficial to her mentally and

physically.


Learning Objectives: 1, 4)


a. How will the psychiatric nurse assess if Karen has made progress toward self-

realization?

Karen had suffered from depression which is a form of mental disorder as a result of

divorce and a broken relationship with her boyfriend. This situation according to

Hypocriticus in 15th century BC, upholds the brain as the organ of consciousness; this

occurs when both normal and abnormal behavior arise from the brain. The psychiatric

nurse can assess if Karen has made progress towards self-realization by committing to

diagnosing and treating her responses to the problems that caused her psychiatric

disorder. In-addition, the nurse can make assessment based on Karen’s psychoanalytical

disposition such as: trasferrence,defense mechanism,countertransference,acting out,

denial of the reality befallen her and projection.

b. Identify strengths that Karen has for progress in personal growth.

The strengths Karen has for progress in personal growth include the followings:

 Ability to make use of social support, that is, she visited a psychiatric nurse, social group

and registered in a gym.

 She was realistic about her situation, therefore made herself ready to face the reality

before her.

 Karen sought immediate medical attention where she was administered with Prozac to

help mitigate her depression state.

,  Her cognitive behavioral responses showed optimism towards a better life as well as

fighting against her depressed state. Hence, her willingness to date younger men.

c. Karen has been seeking treatment for her depression. Analyze the factors that might

contribute to Karen’s reluctance to discuss her depression with others.


Karen’s reluctance to discuss her depression with others hinges on the fact that her depression

was a kind called social depression. Social depression is a psychological disorder caused by

several factors such as: interpersonal relationship which involves the relationship between a

person and the interactions of emotions of each individual expressed directly and discreetly to

each other. Another is a Common interpersonal relationship, this includes : Family, social

environment (work place), and interaction among age groups and genders. Because Karen had

divorce and broken relationship, she didn’t feel safe in herself discussing her depression with

family and friends but to seek a professional whose job is to attend to her depressed case.

Hence, her neuroticism was calm and strong willed.


Case Study, Mohr: CHAPTER 2, Neuroscience: Biology and Behavior


In completing the case study, students will be addressing the following learning objectives:


Discuss neuroplasticity and how this concept relates to mental health and mental illness.


Briefly explain the importance of interaction between genes and environment, the role of

endophenotypes, and the stress-diathesis model of psychiatric illness.
