Understanding Mental Illness:
Understanding mental
illness can help us help loved ones recover from their suffering.
Although it is not possible to completely understand since even scientist
is often baffled, it is possible to have a basic understanding. Understanding
mental health and trauma can also help us to learn more about mental
illnesses. The problem starts at the door with the mental health experts.
They often start out diagnosing the patient upfront, and lay out a
series of diagnosis that will cover medical cost on insurance. The
next step is finding the diagnosis that insurance will cover if long-term
treatment is needed.
As you can see upfront
that, the patient is already headed for additional problems, since
money is the primary issue when it comes to mental health. The patient
is the last to know in many cases that he or she just stepped into
a web of financial issues and entrapment treatment. In other words
the patient could be diagnosed with Axis 1: Depression: Axis II: Bipolar:
Axis III: Physical problems: Axis IV: Psychotic Episodes: Axis V:
suicidal with serious interrupted symptoms surrounding the cause.
This is obviously a serious complaint and insurance will often consider
coverage since the patient is a hazard. After they are interview by
an intake therapist, they are often shifted to the next level, therapy.
After the therapist evaluates the patient sorting through the intakes
information and watching the patient for signs or traces of symptoms
related, the next level the therapist uses is diagnosing the patient
with a mental disorder that complies with coverage.
Most patients are diagnosed
properly however, few are incorrectly diagnosed. The next level is
visiting the psychiatrist who will then administer medications to
treat the patient, since more money is involved they must understand
what Medicaid or other insurance polices will cover. The patient is
then subject to a therapist and a psychiatrist that believes they
know more than the patient does. In regards to psychological disadvantages
this is true, however if the patient was willing to do some research
he or she might have more an advantage over the professionals since
they are informed. Once they understand what symptoms are in the different
diagnosis, they can then help the counselor and doctor understand
more about their suffering. The best solution then is to research
the diagnose that the therapist placed on you to see if this is what
you are going through. Study the symptoms carefully weeding out any
elements of the diagnose that may not involve you. After you have
weeded through the rumble, the next step is sitting down with your
therapist and letting them know that you took steps in your own recovery.
You have evaluated the many diagnoses, including the diagnoses the
therapist issued, and found that there are elements missing or there
are elements of the diagnose that was overwrought.
After you discuss with
your therapist the potentials or the elements of the diagnose that
was misunderstood you both can then work toward reaching an overall
view of what is really go on in your life. It is important that you
take notes if you have difficulty staying focused, or if you lack
education, you might want to get a love one to help you with the research,
notes and discussing the problem with your therapist. When we know
what is going on, and what we are dealing with inside. This is a part
of understanding the problem and how it connects to the people around
you is if you understand what is going on within your mind, and then
you can explain this to your friends and loved ones, helping them
to understand. After we see where the problem lies we can then move
onto the next step and start accepting that there is a problem. Dealing
with the problems is your next step, which takes understanding. If
you do not have understanding then the problem will only regress.
Tell your loved ones
and friends that you are working toward treatment and it would be
helpful if they too work with you to help you find a recovery in your
mental health problems. If there is no recovery, then they can work
with you, understanding that you will have symptoms erupt from time
to time and they will know which step to take to helping you cope.
Yet, we must look at entertainment and how it plays a role in mental
health issues.
