ABSTRACT
For this assignment, I am going to look at the main points regarding Mr. P’s case using given information whilst also giving a brief about depression of the reactive types followed by recognised treatments, developing a plan of treatment with set goals at each stage, respecting his Individuality, Dignity, ensuring Confidentiality, using a Non-Judgemental and Fair approach.
INTRODUCTION
Reading through the information provided in Mr P’s case, I do feel that there are different ways to tackle the presenting problems in his life as a widower following his wife’s unexpected death from a heart attack soon after returning from a holiday 21 months after his retirement. Both were excited about plans to travel the world together in his retirement, but unable to accomplish following Mrs. P’s death leaving Mr P feeling lost, isolated and that his life should be over. His son being always busy lived 100 miles away which made it difficult for him to visit seeking his supports and to see his 2 grandchildren. He started drinking alcohol heavily to drown away his sorrows, which made him feeling disgusted knowing that his late wife would be upset on seeing his behaviour taking a turn for the worst. He kept away from his friends which increases his pain of losing his wife when in their company. Mr. P’s behaviour is typical to someone reacting to a big loss in life presenting with depressive symptoms following him being alone, not wanting to be with his friends and turning to alcohol which has depressive effects on the brain.
AN INSIGHT INTO DEPRESSION
Depression is a mental condition characterised by feelings of extreme sadness, rejection and dejection. It is very crucial to detect depression early as untreated, it can lead to suicide.
