Introduction. A brief one-paragraph statement about the purpose of the paper.
Elements of the problem/issue. Identify the elements of the problem or issue or question.
Write well explained paragraph of 200 words that explains the type of mental health and their
causes. say that non communicable diseases have been of great concern over the recent years.
say that these communicable diseases have been associated with various elements of human life
including lifestyle and mental health. Mental health illnesses can be categorized into two main
categories based on their causes. Those categories include biological or genetic and
environmental. biological or genetic mental illnesses include mental illnesses due to factors
influenced by genetic composition thus can be inherited from one generation to the other. Mental
illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders fall under this category. Illnesses in the
environmental category develop due to exposure to external factor such as trauma, bereavement,
anxiety, societal pressures, cultural norms, violence and abuse. Illnesses such as the Post
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, stress disorders, obsessive compulsive
disorder, developmental disorders and many more. Most of these illnesses are preventable
especially those under the environmental category since the causes of those illnesses are
modifiable. For instance, person suffering from stress disorders can manage the situation by
regulating the stress. Therefore, the problem of mental can be easily addressed in the society by
initiating initiatives that address the causal factors.
Analysis. Analyze, define, and frame the problem or issue.
Write well explained paragraphs of 450 words that analyses the problem of mental health. Say
that mental health problems can arise on a number of settings depending the causal factors.
Hence mental health problem can rise from areas ranging from school, hospitals, churches, areas
of work and many other areas. A research by Lotzin et al., (2019) examined the profiles of women
who experienced childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress and to examine the relationship between
mental health and substance use disorder. The results showed that a significant majority of women with
substance use disorders reported experiences of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse or neglect, which
are associated with an increased risk of developing drug use disorders. Such a study shows that mental
issues can arise from a home setting. one of the major causes of mental health problems among
adolescents in the United States is obesity. Higher levels of BMI have been associated with the
high probabilities of a person being depressed (He et al., 2023). Hence this means that mental
health issues can also arise from school setting especially among obese students. Mental issues
may also arise from a hospital set [Link] a hospital setup the health providers are the most
affected. For instance, a study by Marshman et al (2022) showed a major cause of stress among
nurses is due to compassion fatigue. The constant involvement in people’s emotional support
throughout their job exposes to compassion fatigue that exposes them to stress. therfore mental health
is dynamic hence can occur to people in various settings.
On another paragraph say that mental health is important to me as a practical nurse. As a licensed
practical nurse, I have cared for a diverse range of patients of all ages who suffer from mental illness.
Many patients have shared their experiences with stigma, discrimination, and violations of their human
rights, which often lead to underdiagnoses and inadequate care. These negative experiences have
motivated me to engage in self-reflection to identify my strengths and weaknesses, enhancing the
quality of care I provide. Additionally, given that as nurses we are also predisposed to various causal
factors of mental health illnesses such as stress. This make it even more essential for to engage in
strategies that help me manage my mental health so as to ensure that my mental health concerns may
not affect patient safety. one of the major causes of diagnostic and treatment error is fatigue and stress.
Therefore, given that mental health affect both the patient and health provider it is important for it to be
a major subject in healthcare.
In the last paragraph say that given that mental health is dynamic it affects an infinity number of people.
However, there are populations who are more susceptible than others. For instance, obese people,
people suffering from preexisting medical conditions, orphaned children, children living in homes that
frequently experience, violence, and people with a history of mental illness diagnosis are among the
groups of people that are at high risk of experiencing mental illnesses. Among the 2030 healthy people
objective is to increase the number of people with mental illnesses getting treated. therefore, if
strategies are made they are to target the vulnerable population.
Considering options. Consider solutions, responses, or answers.
Write a well explained paragraph of 300 words that explain some of the potential considering
options for managing mental health. say one of the options that should be considered in
managing mental health concern is through the use of tele psychiatry. say that tele psychiatry is a
form of telemedicine that encompasses psychiatrists supporting other patients, including primary
care providers, with mental health care consultation and expertise through live, interactive
communication, including video or audio-only care. It can also involve recording medical
information (such as images and videos) and sending this securely to a patient or other clinician.
Tele psychiatry also goes hand in hand with other digital options of tele education and form the
aspect telehealth. A survey of 148 mental health professionals covered topics such as tele
psychiatry, mobile mental health tools, and digital devices. The findings revealed that the
majority healthcare professionals surveyed believe mobile health applications can help patients
manage their mental health treatments and maintain continuity of care without interruption
telehealth strength lies in the fact that there is improved convenience as patients receive care
from the comfort of their homes. As a result, the mental health programs have been more
accessible. However, telehealth may susceptible to cyber-attacks that may result to a breach in
privacy.
In the other paragraph say that the other considering option in the management of mental health
using mental health support groups. Such groups can encompass sub units such as youth support
groups and peer support groups. Mental health support groups are important for emotional
support, offering practical advice, social connection and crisis management. de Beer et al
([Link] that incorporating Youth Peer Support Workers(YPSWs) into treatment settings
can significantly benefit the children and adolescents’ population. Specifically, YPSWs foster a
safe and trusting environment, provide emotional support rooted through their personal
experiences, reduce stigma, and serve as a bridge between young people and essential mental
health resources. However the use of mental health support group may also experience
challenges such as inconvenience given that people will have to meet physically sometimes,
some people may also find public speaking intimidating thus making the option of mental health
support group unsuitable. additionally, there is a potential of negative interactions such as
involvement with people with bad intentions such as drug dealers who may see settings such as
rehabilitation centers as marketing options.
Solution. Choose a solution, response, or answer.
Write a well explained paragraph of 200 words that describe tele psychiatry a potential solution
for management of mental health in the united states. say that empowering telehealth options is
more suitable approach of managing mental health in the united stated. It can also involve
recording medical information (such as images and videos) and sending this securely to a patient
or other clinician. At this age most people possess electronic gadgets that can access internet.
According to Author (2024) 90 % of adults posses smartphone in the US. Therefore empowering of
telepsychiatry can be a very viable option that can be used to reach out to people with mental health
issues. Initiating a telepsychiatry program requires presence of internet connection, establishing of
telepsychiatry platform and technical support team. As alredy mentioned tele psychairty seems to be an
effective proposed solution to mental health concerns as it will make mental health services more
accessible and convimiemtly accessed by patients. the option is also time conserving and more
affordable as people don’t have to travel to make physical interactions. Additionally tele psychiatry
enables patients to have a one on one interaction with psychiatrists hence making the patient more
confident in disclosure of information that may enhance proper diagnosis and treatment. Futhermore
the option can enable psychiatrists to consult with one other thus facilitating better decision
[Link] the downside of this program lies on security of data as telepsychiatry platform may be
susceptible to cyber-attacks that can cause leaking of patient information.
Ethical implications. Ethical implications of implementing the solution.
Write a well explained paragraph of 150 words that explain the ethical implications thatmay be
associated with [Link] that the downside of telehealth due to potential cyber attacks
make the options raise a number of ethical [Link] main concern is on the issue of
data [Link] psychiatric platforms may sometime experience cyber atcks thus causing
leaking of patient information thus infiltrating patient [Link] of patient data can
cause more mental terror to the patient thus going against the principle of Nonmaleficence.
Additionally implimating psychiatry may also be seen to undermine justice as people who cannot afford
smart phones and have no accessibility to internet hence there will be no fairness and equality in
accessibility of mental heal health [Link] if measurea that conter cyber attcks such as fire
walling and regular inspection of platforms most of the ethical values will be [Link] instance more
secure platforms will ensure there is no data breach thus umpholding patient [Link]
given that the patient can access mental services at time and place of their liking enhance autonomy in
healthcare.
Implementation. Implementation of the potential solution.
