The researchers thereupon recommended modifying diagnostic criteria as well urging researchers to review the models used to explain DBD. (Burke, Loeber, & Birmaher, 2002)
Other specific priorities offered to veterans include provision of benefits and health care to homeless veterans. The VA offers transitional housing and benefits assistances to the homeless (Daniels & Nicoll, 2011)
Virtual care, long-term care, rural health, traumatic brain injury to mention but a few are other specific priorities for veterans. Particularly, nurses in VA are tasked with meeting the changing expectations and needs of their patients (Sullivan-Marx, 2010)
This will be enhanced through provision of more outpatient mental health practitioners. This is for the fact that patients are rushed to emergency rooms because they cannot find an outpatient mental health practitioners (Thonicroft, 2011)
490) Sampling in the Study It is reported that three groups emerged: (1) a comparison patient PD group; (2) comparison patients with psychiatric disorders in physicians only; and (3) patients without PDs treated in specialized care that was publicly funded or by their physicians. (Cawthorpe, Guyn, Li and Lu, 2011, paraphrased) Group Comparison Comparison was conducted of 42 million records for billing and then the average number of visits compared with average health billing cost per patient during the nine years across all groups
Another concern for those who have mental health issues in Australia is that these issues are often tied to many other problems, like domestic violence and criminal behavior, but only arrests are made for the behaviors, placing the people on probation and parole (Australian, 2012). It is not that people should not be arrested for this kind of behavior, but that -- if mental health problems are the cause -- they should also be treated for the mental health issues they are facing (Demyttenaere, et al
When a person on probation or parole needs proper mental health care, he or she may or may not realize that it is even needed. If it is not adequately realized, then there need to be legislative requirements that can force the person needing the care to get that care so he or she is not a danger to himself or herself, or a danger to other people (Keyes, 2002)
By taking that into consideration, it is possible to make changes to the Australian mental health care system that will address policies and legislation that can and should be adjusted for those on probation and parole. While not the perfect solution, there are no perfect options when it comes to mental health concerns (Munce, et al
, 2005). Not only are they not getting the help they need in order to live productive lives, they are also more likely to reoffend, violate their probation or parole, become homeless, drink to excess, do drugs, and get involved in other unsavory behavior (Patel & Prince, 2002)
Current policies and procedures that are in place for those who may be suicidal or who may harm themselves while they are on probation and parole are important, but they do not go far enough. It makes sense to protect people from themselves if there is an indication that they may become distraught or confused and hurt themselves (Richards, Campania, & Muse-Burke, 2010)
This can also happen because they think self-harm is a good idea, or they cannot see any way out of their current situation other than suicide. If they were mentally healthy, though, they may realize that the way they are looking at things is not realistic, and that they could be better served by getting healthy so they could take care of themselves (Storrie, Ahern, & Tuckett, 2010)
Forensic Mental Health Legislation and Policies The current position on forensic mental health issues when it comes to legislation and policies is a strong one, but there are some difficulties that do not translate well into the probation and parole policies that are currently offered. In other words, there are issues that are not being addressed, and that are allowing individuals with mental health problems who on are probation and parole to slip through the cracks and struggle with their issues on their own (Wang, et al
The method and presentation use in the study involved 37 nurses who worked exclusively in the mental health field. They were asked to respond to a case (simulated) in which a person had a chronic and enduring problem with his or her mental health (MacNeela, et al
5. For many, a stigma is attached to being involved with mental health services and so they avoid using these services (Conyne, 2004)
151). On a final note, a growing number of healthcare providers are making the argument that eliminating obstacles to access to mental health services just makes good economic sense (Gauthier, 2004)
I also used illustrations, graphs and tabulations to demonstrate these data. Likewise, I shared that other major studies conducted among Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans showed that the mental disorders Hispanics develop are major depression, panic disorder, phobia and alcohol use (Guarnaccia et al
3. Problem Analysis Having identified the problem, we proceeded to the second stage, which considers the consultees' -- the counselors -- professional knowledge, skills, confidence, objectiveness and interpersonal interactions and the probability of their causing the problem themselves (Knoff, 1988)
Nonetheless, those who are mentally disturbed are exposed to interrupted career development and long-term employment opportunities, as per common observations. A Community Health Survey was conducted in Canada; the statistical results reflect that, in Ontario, approximately 30% of officially diagnosed mental illness individuals did not work during 2009 (Battle et al
Poverty can be measured on the basis of earnings to consumption ratio people have. This ratio falls under the category of poverty as consumption significantly rises as against income of an individual (Burstein, 2005)
These emotional barriers often result in loss of income, which eventually leads to poverty and shortage of other necessary resources, like shelter, food, education, and employment. A research conducted in Canadian poverty context incited that: "poverty -- and the material and social deprivation associated with it-is a primary cause of poor health among Canadians" (Eaton, 1999) Supported by various other researchers, these economic downfalls affect and compromise the quality of one's life that certainly has an effect on his re her mental health
