How to identify mental health problems and support the
     service user develop positive mental health

What is good mental health?




Ladder of functioning
A good way to identify mental health problem is to look at our ladder of
functioning

Functional areas affected by mental health problems

   •   Physical appearance, health and hygiene
   •   Biological functions: sleep, feeding, bowels, bladder
   •   Activity, energy, movements
   •   Verbal and non-verbal communications
   •   Mood and emotional reactions
   •   Perceptions of others, objects and environments
   •   Relationships and sexuality
   •   Self perception, insight and esteem
   •   Repertoire of adaptive and maladaptive behaviours
   •   Attention, thinking and learning
   •   Memory and attention
   •   Perceptions/attitudes to health and needs

How many people experience mental health problems?

On average 1 in 4 people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of
a year. However, of these, only a relatively small number will be diagnosed with a serious
and enduring mental health problem.

Statistics

How many people experience mental health problems?

Mental health problems are found in people of all ages, regions, countries and societies.

   •   1 in 4 British adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health
       problem in any one year, and one in six experiences this at any given time.

   •   Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a
       relatively small proportion of people who experience more than one mental health
       problem (this is known as ‘co-morbidity’).

What are the main types of mental health problems?

   •   Mixed anxiety & depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain,
       with almost 9 percent of people meeting criteria for diagnosis.

   •   Between 8-12% of the population experience depression in any year

   •   About half of people with common mental health problems are no longer affected
       after 18 months, but poorer people, the long-term sick and unemployed people are
       more likely to be still affected than the general population.




                                              5
Who develops mental health problems?

  •   Women are more likely to have been treated for a mental health problem than
      men (29% compared to 17%).This could be because, when asked, women are
      more likely to report symptoms of common mental health problems.

  •   Depression is more common in women than men. 1 in 4 women will require
      treatment for depression at some time, compared to 1 in 10 men. The reasons
      for this are unclear, but are thought to be due to both social and biological
      factors. It has also been suggested that depression in men may have been
      under diagnosed because they present to their GP with different symptoms.

  •   Women are twice as likely to experience anxiety as men. Of people with
      phobias or OCD, about 60% are female.

  •   Men are more likely than women to have an alcohol or drug problem. 67% of
      British people who consume alcohol at ‘hazardous’ levels, and 80% of those
      dependent on alcohol are male. Almost three quarters of people dependent on
      cannabis and 69% of those dependent on other illegal drugs are male.

  •   In general, rates of mental health problems are thought to be higher in minority ethnic
      groups than in the white population, but they are less likely to have their mental health
      problems detected by a GP.

  •   One in four unemployed people has a common mental health problem



What about mental health problems among children and young people?

  •   One in ten children between the ages of one and 15 has a mental health disorder

  •   Estimates vary, but research suggests that 20% of children have a mental health
      problem in any given year, and about 10% at any one time.

  •   Rates of mental health problems among children increase as they reach adolescence.
      Disorders affect 10.4% of boys aged 5-10, rising to 12.8% of boys aged 11-15, and
      5.9% of girls aged 5-10, rising to 9.65% of girls aged 11-15




                                             6
What is the prevalence of mental health problems in older people?

  o Depression affects 1 in 5 older people living in the community and 2 in 5 living in
    care homes.

  •   Dementia affects 5% of people over the age of 65 and 20% of those over 80.
      About 700,000 people in the UK have dementia (1.2% of the population) at
      any one time.

How common is suicide?

  •   In 2004, more than 5,500 people in the UK died by suicide

  •   British men are three times as likely as British women to die by suicide.

  •   Suicide remains the most common cause of death in men under the age of 35

  •   The suicide rate among people over 65 has fallen by 24% in recent years, but
      is still high compared to the population overall

How common is self-harm?

  •   The UK has one of the highest rates of self harm in Europe, at 400 per
      100,000 population.



  •   People with current mental health problems are 20 times more likely than others to
      report having harmed themselves in the past.

What is the relationship between mental health problems and offending?

  •   More than 70% of the prison population has two or more mental health
      disorders. Male prisoners are 14 times more likely to have two or more
      disorders than men in general, and female prisoners 35 times more likely than
      women in general

  •   The suicide rate in prisons is almost 15 times higher than in the general population. In
      2002 the rate was 143 per 100,0001 compared to 9 per 100,000 in the general
      population.2




                                             7
From Stress to Psychosis
Stress-Vulnerability Model of Psychosis
There are multiple causative factors in the development of psychosis but most research
suggests that the Stress-Vulnerability model of psychosis is the most dominant.

This model suggests that a vulnerability to psychosis is acquired through a genetic
predisposition or as a result of an environmental insult to the brain (e.g. head injury). This
vulnerability, however, is not considered to be sufficient to manifest the disorder and must be
'triggered' by environmental processes. The environmental component can be biological (i.e.
an infection, or even drugs and alcohol) or psychological (stressful living situation, school
exams, travel etc.).

   •   vulnerability to psychosis is acquired through a genetic predisposition, or as a
       result of an environmental insult to the brain.
   •   to manifest, the disorder must be 'triggered' by environmental processes
   •   the amount of environmental stress needed to 'trigger' psychosis likely differs
       from person to person, as does the amount of vulnerability that at risk people
       have for psychosis.
       The 'stress' component of the model may take many forms, including:
   •   Traumatic life events.
   •   Use of drugs and alcohol.
   •   Stressful living conditions (e.g., low socioeconomic status; high levels of family
       conflict).

DECREASED STRESS TOLERANCE

There is also some agreement that people with psychosis handle stress poorly. It seems that
they have a low tolerance for stress - things that would have not been stressful for someone
who does not have psychosis can prove too much for those who do have it. There is also a
lower tolerance of intense emotions from others, e.g. anger, criticism, conflict or extremes in
positive concern or over involvement. Clearly this makes knowing how far to push or
encourage someone to do something a difficult decision. On the one hand too much pushing
may lead to problems and even relapse, whereas no encouragement to do things may see
someone sink into apathy and withdrawal.

Certain factors can also reduce the risk that an at-risk person will develop psychosis:

   •   Use of appropriate prescription medication.
   •   Use of stress management techniques.
   •   Reliable support systems (e.g., family, a hospital day program).

Use of Mental Health Legislation
Mental Health Act 1983 and Mental Health Act 2007 is primarily Civil Rights
Legislation used to manage people with Mental Illness in 3 settings, namely,
   1. In the Community
   2. In Hospital
   3. In Criminal Justice System
In a nutshell MHA 1983 and 2007 enable people with mental illness to get
treatment when they need it with minimal infringement of their civil
liberties.
   •   It outlines when a person can be detained.
   •   How the person should be treated by Hospitals.
   •   What support mechanisms should be in place for after care of the
       service used on discharge from hospital
The MHA also establishes how people who commit offences when mentally
ill should be treated and supported via the health system working along
side the Criminal Justice System
In the Community
   •   Voluntary admission
   •   Compulsory admission
   •   After Care Support
Discharge into community
   •   CTO
   •   Sec 117 discharge
   •   Housing
   •   Money
   •   Supporting People
   •   output linked
   •   services
   •   CPA
   •   Maintenance
   •   Relapse prevention
In the Hospital
Hospital treatment
   •   Category 1 - Medication




                                         9
•   Category 2 – ECT and Hormonal
   •   Category 3 – More invasive treatment
   •   Talking therapy
Rights in hospital
   •   To MHRT
In Criminal Justice System
Similar to the Civil System with more controls and mandatory orders
Other Legislation:
Mental Capacity Act 2005
European Human Rights Act 1998
NHS and Community Care Act 1991


The Human Rights Act 1998 furthers the Civil Rights of people with
mental illness by further defining additional rights that people with mental
illness have such as rights to establish a family, right to choose e.g.
nearest relative.


The Mental Capacity Act establishes the principle that everyone has
mental capacity. It outlines processes by which it can be confirmed that
the person’s capacity is diminished due to mental illness, how he/she can
be supported to make decisions that enhance their own best interest.


The funding for mental health services comes from a number of sources
such as the NHS and Community Care Act 1991, the National Service
Framework of Mental health, National Service Framework for Elders,
Supporting People Funding, Housing related funding.


This funding working alongside the legislation creates a climate for safe
service provision which is further boosted by Care Standards Act 2000 and
CSCI inspectorate which inspects and reinforces service standards.


The rights of Minority Ethnic community is also protected by the Race
Relations Act 1976 and its Amendments in year 2000.

Principles of psychosocial intervention
The term psychosocial intervention has come to refer to any programme
that aims to improve the psychosocial well-being of the service user
Psychosocial interventions support the service user to cope with their
mental health condition, and help the quality of life. (Slade and Haddock
1996) These interventions are also beneficial to relatives, and are
effective in improving the quality of family environment (Penn and Mueser
1996)
Key working is generally a key component of delivering psychosocial
intervention in mental health care.
Research suggests that establishing a therapeutic alliance is essential to
the success of psychosocial interventions.
The interventions are made up of:
   •   Information and advise giving
   •   Harm reduction interventions e.g. support the person get
       appropriate medication, supporting the person get housing, help
       person reduce chaos in their life created by mental health difficulties
   •   Service user education to take reduce chaos in their life, manage
       their mental health symptoms and relapse prevention.
   •   Cognitive-behaviour interventions to manage mental health
       symptoms
   •   Social skills development/support/training
   •   Family intervention
A typical protocol for using psychosocial intervention is:
   •   Take referral
   •   Carry out risk assessment
   •   Develop a collaborative working relationship with service user
   •   Enable harm reduction
   •   Support the person through recovery
   •   Empower the person to take control over their life
   •   Provide support to remain independent in the community
   •   Help the person to participate in contributing to community life
   •   Support the person establish their relapse signature and empower
       them to use the care system effectively to remain well in the
       community

Side Effects




                                       18
1. ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATIONS
Typical
Side effects
Sedation, dry mouth, muscle stiffness, muscle cramping, tremors, EPS or
Extrapyramidal symptoms (akinesia - inability to initiate movement and akathisia -
inability to remain motionless)and weight-gain.



Atypical
Side effects
Weight gain and diabetes

   2. ANTIMANIC MEDICATIONS

Used for Bipolar.

Lithium.

Side effects of lithium.

Initially, the person may have slight nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, thirstiness, muscle
weakness, and feelings of being somewhat tired, dazed, or sleepy. A mild hand tremor may
emerge as the dose is increased. These effects are normally minimal and usually subside after
several days of treatment. But some of the initial side effects may carry over into long-term
therapy and others may emerge. Some patients continue to have a slight hand tremor. Many
drink more fluids than usual-without always being aware of it--and urinate more frequently,
while still others may gain weight. Weight gain often can be controlled with proper diet.

Anticonvulsants.

Anticonvulsants used for bipolar disorder include carbamazepine (Tegretol), lamotrigine
(Lamictal), gabapentin (Neurontin), and topiramate (Topamax).

The other anticonvulsant valproic acid (Depakote, divalproex sodium) is the main alternative
therapy for bipolar disorder.

Dizziness, drowsiness, unsteadiness, nausea, and vomiting. Skin rashes may occur.ide effects

   3. ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICATIONS

Side effects

Side effects of antidepressant medications. Antidepressants may cause mild, and often
temporary, side effects (sometimes referred to as adverse effects) in some people. Typically,



                                              19
these are not serious. However, any reactions or side effects that are unusual, annoying, or
that interfere with functioning should be reported to the doctor immediately. The most
common side effects of tricyclic antidepressants, and ways to deal with them, are as follows:

   •   Dry mouth—it is helpful to drink sips of water; chew sugarless gum; brush
       teeth daily.
   •   Constipation—bran cereals, prunes, fruit, and vegetables should be in the
       diet.
   •   Bladder problems—emptying the bladder completely may be difficult, and the
       urine stream may not be as strong as usual. Older men with enlarged prostate
       conditions may be at particular risk for this problem. The doctor should be
       notified if there is any pain.
   •   Sexual problems—sexual functioning may be impaired; if this is worrisome, it
       should be discussed with the doctor.
   •   Blurred vision—this is usually temporary and will not necessitate new glasses.
       Glaucoma patients should report any change in vision to the doctor.
   •   Dizziness—rising from the bed or chair slowly is helpful.
   •   Drowsiness as a daytime problem—this usually passes soon. A person who
       feels drowsy or sedated should not drive or operate heavy equipment. The
       more sedating antidepressants are generally taken at bedtime to help sleep
       and to minimize daytime drowsiness.
   •   Increased heart rate—pulse rate is often elevated. Older patients should have
       an electrocardiogram (EKG) before beginning tricyclic treatment.

The newer antidepressants, including SSRIs, have different types of side effects, as follows:

   •   Sexual problems—fairly common, but reversible, in both men and women.
       The doctor should be consulted if the problem is persistent or worrisome.
   •   Headache—this will usually go away after a short time.
   •   Nausea—may occur after a dose, but it will disappear quickly.
   •   Nervousness and insomnia (trouble falling asleep or waking often during the
       night)—these may occur during the first few weeks; dosage reductions or time
       will usually resolve them.
   •   Agitation (feeling jittery)—if this happens for the first time after the drug is
       taken and is more than temporary, the doctor should be notified.
   •   Any of these side effects may be amplified when an SSRI is combined with
       other medications that affect serotonin. In the most extreme cases, such a
       combination of medications (e.g., an SSRI and an MAOI) may result in a
       potentially serious or even fatal "serotonin syndrome," characterized by fever,
       confusion, muscle rigidity, and cardiac, liver, or kidney problems.

The small number of people for whom MAOIs are the best treatment need to avoid taking
decongestants and consuming certain foods that contain high levels of tyramine, such as many
cheeses, wines, and pickles. The interaction of tyramine with MAOIs can bring on a sharp
increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke. The doctor should furnish a complete list
of prohibited foods that the individual should carry at all times. Other forms of




                                              20
antidepressants require no food restrictions. MAOIs also should not be combined with other
antidepressants, especially SSRIs, due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.

   4. ANTIANXIETY MEDICATIONS
Side effects

Both antidepressants and antianxiety medications are used to treat anxiety disorders.

Antianxiety medications include the benzodiazepines, which can relieve symptoms within a
short time. They have relatively few side effects: drowsiness and loss of coordination are
most common; fatigue and mental slowing or confusion can also occur. These effects make it
dangerous for people taking benzodiazepines to drive or operate some machinery. Other side
effects are rare.

The only medication specifically for anxiety disorders other than the benzodiazepines is
buspirone (BuSpar). Unlike the benzodiazepines, buspirone must be taken consistently for at
least 2 weeks to achieve an antianxiety effect and therefore cannot be used on an "as-needed"
basis.

Beta blockers, medications often used to treat heart conditions and high blood pressure, are
sometimes used to control "performance anxiety" when the individual must face a specific
stressful situation—a speech, a presentation in class, or an important meeting. Propranolol
(Inderal, Inderide) is a commonly used beta blocker.



   5. Medications to manage side effects
Procyclidine hydrochloride is used in patients with schizophrenia to reduce the side effects of
antipsychotic treatment, such as parkinsonism and akathisia

MEDICATIONS FOR SPECIAL GROUPS

Children, the elderly, and pregnant and nursing women have special concerns and needs when
taking psychotherapeutic medications. Some effects of medications on the growing body, the
aging body, and the childbearing body are known, but much remains to be learned. Research
in these areas is ongoing.




                                               21
Working with challenging behaviour
Mental illness in a person can lead to behaviour in a service user which
from time to time is difficult to deal with by service providers e.g. Non
engagement with service providers, over use of alcohol and illicit
substances, demotivation, sleep disturbance, eating patterns and so on.
This means that organisations that provide services to people with mental
illness have to provide guidelines on how to work safely and effectively
with service users.
Any guideline in working with people with mental illness needs to be
underpinned by duty of care which is made up of:
Welfare – whatever the staff do has to promote the long term welfare of
the service user
Support – staff need to provide support now that enables to person to
cope with their situation and address disadvantages brought on by mental
illness and
Protection – ensure that the person with mental illness is supported to
protect themselves from abuse
In providing services to a person with mental illness who may have
complex needs and present challenging behaviour, evidence based
practice suggests that staff should use good practice protocols.
These protocols need to address individual’s service uses unique needs
and situation.
A typical protocol would be made up of:
   •   Comprehensive assessment
   •   Risk assessment
   •   Care management arrangement
   •   With key working practice
   •   Appropriate medication
   •   Harm reduction practice
   •   Recovery from mental illness
   •   Rehabilitation
   •   Re-engagement of the community
   •   Relapse prevention
The practice in all these areas would be guided by organisations policy
and practice as well as knowledge base developed by practitioners and
legislation.

  • 3. How to identify mental health problems and support the service user develop positive mental health What is good mental health? Ladder of functioning A good way to identify mental health problem is to look at our ladder of functioning N o lim it p e r s o n G o o d fu n c tio n in g le v e l A n g ry A n x io u s M e n ta lly ill Good level of functioning Angry: 3
  • 4. Anxious Mentally ill No limit person Wyne Dyer (1995) suggests that 5% of the population is in this category. 4
  • 5. Functional areas affected by mental health problems • Physical appearance, health and hygiene • Biological functions: sleep, feeding, bowels, bladder • Activity, energy, movements • Verbal and non-verbal communications • Mood and emotional reactions • Perceptions of others, objects and environments • Relationships and sexuality • Self perception, insight and esteem • Repertoire of adaptive and maladaptive behaviours • Attention, thinking and learning • Memory and attention • Perceptions/attitudes to health and needs How many people experience mental health problems? On average 1 in 4 people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year. However, of these, only a relatively small number will be diagnosed with a serious and enduring mental health problem. Statistics How many people experience mental health problems? Mental health problems are found in people of all ages, regions, countries and societies. • 1 in 4 British adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any one year, and one in six experiences this at any given time. • Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of people who experience more than one mental health problem (this is known as ‘co-morbidity’). What are the main types of mental health problems? • Mixed anxiety & depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain, with almost 9 percent of people meeting criteria for diagnosis. • Between 8-12% of the population experience depression in any year • About half of people with common mental health problems are no longer affected after 18 months, but poorer people, the long-term sick and unemployed people are more likely to be still affected than the general population. 5
  • 6. Who develops mental health problems? • Women are more likely to have been treated for a mental health problem than men (29% compared to 17%).This could be because, when asked, women are more likely to report symptoms of common mental health problems. • Depression is more common in women than men. 1 in 4 women will require treatment for depression at some time, compared to 1 in 10 men. The reasons for this are unclear, but are thought to be due to both social and biological factors. It has also been suggested that depression in men may have been under diagnosed because they present to their GP with different symptoms. • Women are twice as likely to experience anxiety as men. Of people with phobias or OCD, about 60% are female. • Men are more likely than women to have an alcohol or drug problem. 67% of British people who consume alcohol at ‘hazardous’ levels, and 80% of those dependent on alcohol are male. Almost three quarters of people dependent on cannabis and 69% of those dependent on other illegal drugs are male. • In general, rates of mental health problems are thought to be higher in minority ethnic groups than in the white population, but they are less likely to have their mental health problems detected by a GP. • One in four unemployed people has a common mental health problem What about mental health problems among children and young people? • One in ten children between the ages of one and 15 has a mental health disorder • Estimates vary, but research suggests that 20% of children have a mental health problem in any given year, and about 10% at any one time. • Rates of mental health problems among children increase as they reach adolescence. Disorders affect 10.4% of boys aged 5-10, rising to 12.8% of boys aged 11-15, and 5.9% of girls aged 5-10, rising to 9.65% of girls aged 11-15 6
  • 7. What is the prevalence of mental health problems in older people? o Depression affects 1 in 5 older people living in the community and 2 in 5 living in care homes. • Dementia affects 5% of people over the age of 65 and 20% of those over 80. About 700,000 people in the UK have dementia (1.2% of the population) at any one time. How common is suicide? • In 2004, more than 5,500 people in the UK died by suicide • British men are three times as likely as British women to die by suicide. • Suicide remains the most common cause of death in men under the age of 35 • The suicide rate among people over 65 has fallen by 24% in recent years, but is still high compared to the population overall How common is self-harm? • The UK has one of the highest rates of self harm in Europe, at 400 per 100,000 population. • People with current mental health problems are 20 times more likely than others to report having harmed themselves in the past. What is the relationship between mental health problems and offending? • More than 70% of the prison population has two or more mental health disorders. Male prisoners are 14 times more likely to have two or more disorders than men in general, and female prisoners 35 times more likely than women in general • The suicide rate in prisons is almost 15 times higher than in the general population. In 2002 the rate was 143 per 100,0001 compared to 9 per 100,000 in the general population.2 7
  • 8. From Stress to Psychosis Stress-Vulnerability Model of Psychosis There are multiple causative factors in the development of psychosis but most research suggests that the Stress-Vulnerability model of psychosis is the most dominant. This model suggests that a vulnerability to psychosis is acquired through a genetic predisposition or as a result of an environmental insult to the brain (e.g. head injury). This vulnerability, however, is not considered to be sufficient to manifest the disorder and must be 'triggered' by environmental processes. The environmental component can be biological (i.e. an infection, or even drugs and alcohol) or psychological (stressful living situation, school exams, travel etc.). • vulnerability to psychosis is acquired through a genetic predisposition, or as a result of an environmental insult to the brain. • to manifest, the disorder must be 'triggered' by environmental processes • the amount of environmental stress needed to 'trigger' psychosis likely differs from person to person, as does the amount of vulnerability that at risk people have for psychosis. The 'stress' component of the model may take many forms, including: • Traumatic life events. • Use of drugs and alcohol. • Stressful living conditions (e.g., low socioeconomic status; high levels of family conflict). DECREASED STRESS TOLERANCE There is also some agreement that people with psychosis handle stress poorly. It seems that they have a low tolerance for stress - things that would have not been stressful for someone who does not have psychosis can prove too much for those who do have it. There is also a lower tolerance of intense emotions from others, e.g. anger, criticism, conflict or extremes in positive concern or over involvement. Clearly this makes knowing how far to push or encourage someone to do something a difficult decision. On the one hand too much pushing may lead to problems and even relapse, whereas no encouragement to do things may see someone sink into apathy and withdrawal. Certain factors can also reduce the risk that an at-risk person will develop psychosis: • Use of appropriate prescription medication. • Use of stress management techniques. • Reliable support systems (e.g., family, a hospital day program). 8
  • 9. Use of Mental Health Legislation Mental Health Act 1983 and Mental Health Act 2007 is primarily Civil Rights Legislation used to manage people with Mental Illness in 3 settings, namely, 1. In the Community 2. In Hospital 3. In Criminal Justice System In a nutshell MHA 1983 and 2007 enable people with mental illness to get treatment when they need it with minimal infringement of their civil liberties. • It outlines when a person can be detained. • How the person should be treated by Hospitals. • What support mechanisms should be in place for after care of the service used on discharge from hospital The MHA also establishes how people who commit offences when mentally ill should be treated and supported via the health system working along side the Criminal Justice System In the Community • Voluntary admission • Compulsory admission • After Care Support Discharge into community • CTO • Sec 117 discharge • Housing • Money • Supporting People • output linked • services • CPA • Maintenance • Relapse prevention In the Hospital Hospital treatment • Category 1 - Medication 9
  • 10. Category 2 – ECT and Hormonal • Category 3 – More invasive treatment • Talking therapy Rights in hospital • To MHRT In Criminal Justice System Similar to the Civil System with more controls and mandatory orders Other Legislation: Mental Capacity Act 2005 European Human Rights Act 1998 NHS and Community Care Act 1991 The Human Rights Act 1998 furthers the Civil Rights of people with mental illness by further defining additional rights that people with mental illness have such as rights to establish a family, right to choose e.g. nearest relative. The Mental Capacity Act establishes the principle that everyone has mental capacity. It outlines processes by which it can be confirmed that the person’s capacity is diminished due to mental illness, how he/she can be supported to make decisions that enhance their own best interest. The funding for mental health services comes from a number of sources such as the NHS and Community Care Act 1991, the National Service Framework of Mental health, National Service Framework for Elders, Supporting People Funding, Housing related funding. This funding working alongside the legislation creates a climate for safe service provision which is further boosted by Care Standards Act 2000 and CSCI inspectorate which inspects and reinforces service standards. The rights of Minority Ethnic community is also protected by the Race Relations Act 1976 and its Amendments in year 2000. 10

Principles of psychosocial intervention The term psychosocial intervention has come to refer to any programme that aims to improve the psychosocial well-being of the service user Psychosocial interventions support the service user to cope with their mental health condition, and help the quality of life. (Slade and Haddock 1996) These interventions are also beneficial to relatives, and are effective in improving the quality of family environment (Penn and Mueser 1996) Key working is generally a key component of delivering psychosocial intervention in mental health care. Research suggests that establishing a therapeutic alliance is essential to the success of psychosocial interventions. The interventions are made up of: • Information and advise giving • Harm reduction interventions e.g. support the person get appropriate medication, supporting the person get housing, help person reduce chaos in their life created by mental health difficulties • Service user education to take reduce chaos in their life, manage their mental health symptoms and relapse prevention. • Cognitive-behaviour interventions to manage mental health symptoms • Social skills development/support/training • Family intervention A typical protocol for using psychosocial intervention is: • Take referral • Carry out risk assessment • Develop a collaborative working relationship with service user • Enable harm reduction • Support the person through recovery • Empower the person to take control over their life • Provide support to remain independent in the community • Help the person to participate in contributing to community life • Support the person establish their relapse signature and empower them to use the care system effectively to remain well in the community 13

Atypical Side effects Weight gain and diabetes 2. ANTIMANIC MEDICATIONS Used for Bipolar. Lithium. Side effects of lithium. Initially, the person may have slight nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, thirstiness, muscle weakness, and feelings of being somewhat tired, dazed, or sleepy. A mild hand tremor may emerge as the dose is increased. These effects are normally minimal and usually subside after several days of treatment. But some of the initial side effects may carry over into long-term therapy and others may emerge. Some patients continue to have a slight hand tremor. Many drink more fluids than usual-without always being aware of it--and urinate more frequently, while still others may gain weight. Weight gain often can be controlled with proper diet. Anticonvulsants. Anticonvulsants used for bipolar disorder include carbamazepine (Tegretol), lamotrigine (Lamictal), gabapentin (Neurontin), and topiramate (Topamax). The other anticonvulsant valproic acid (Depakote, divalproex sodium) is the main alternative therapy for bipolar disorder. Dizziness, drowsiness, unsteadiness, nausea, and vomiting.

Antidepressants may cause mild, and often temporary, side effects (sometimes referred to as adverse effects) in some people. Typically, 19
  • 20. these are not serious. However, any reactions or side effects that are unusual, annoying, or that interfere with functioning should be reported to the doctor immediately. The most common side effects of tricyclic antidepressants, and ways to deal with them, are as follows: • Dry mouth—it is helpful to drink sips of water; chew sugarless gum; brush teeth daily. • Constipation—bran cereals, prunes, fruit, and vegetables should be in the diet. • Bladder problems—emptying the bladder completely may be difficult, and the urine stream may not be as strong as usual. Older men with enlarged prostate conditions may be at particular risk for this problem. The doctor should be notified if there is any pain. • Sexual problems—sexual functioning may be impaired; if this is worrisome, it should be discussed with the doctor. • Blurred vision—this is usually temporary and will not necessitate new glasses. Glaucoma patients should report any change in vision to the doctor. • Dizziness—rising from the bed or chair slowly is helpful. • Drowsiness as a daytime problem—this usually passes soon. A person who feels drowsy or sedated should not drive or operate heavy equipment. The more sedating antidepressants are generally taken at bedtime to help sleep and to minimize daytime drowsiness. • Increased heart rate—pulse rate is often elevated. Older patients should have an electrocardiogram (EKG) before beginning tricyclic treatment. The newer antidepressants, including SSRIs, have different types of side effects, as follows: • Sexual problems—fairly common, but reversible, in both men and women. The doctor should be consulted if the problem is persistent or worrisome. • Headache—this will usually go away after a short time. • Nausea—may occur after a dose, but it will disappear quickly. • Nervousness and insomnia (trouble falling asleep or waking often during the night)—these may occur during the first few weeks; dosage reductions or time will usually resolve them. • Agitation (feeling jittery)—if this happens for the first time after the drug is taken and is more than temporary, the doctor should be notified. • Any of these side effects may be amplified when an SSRI is combined with other medications that affect serotonin. In the most extreme cases, such a combination of medications (e.g., an SSRI and an MAOI) may result in a potentially serious or even fatal "serotonin syndrome," characterized by fever, confusion, muscle rigidity, and cardiac, liver, or kidney problems. The small number of people for whom MAOIs are the best treatment need to avoid taking decongestants and consuming certain foods that contain high levels of tyramine, such as many cheeses, wines, and pickles. The interaction of tyramine with MAOIs can bring on a sharp increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke. The doctor should furnish a complete list of prohibited foods that the individual should carry at all times. Other forms of 20
  • 21. antidepressants require no food restrictions. MAOIs also should not be combined with other antidepressants, especially SSRIs, due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. 4. ANTIANXIETY MEDICATIONS Side effects Both antidepressants and antianxiety medications are used to treat anxiety disorders. Antianxiety medications include the benzodiazepines, which can relieve symptoms within a short time. They have relatively few side effects: drowsiness and loss of coordination are most common; fatigue and mental slowing or confusion can also occur. These effects make it dangerous for people taking benzodiazepines to drive or operate some machinery. Other side effects are rare. The only medication specifically for anxiety disorders other than the benzodiazepines is buspirone (BuSpar). Unlike the benzodiazepines, buspirone must be taken consistently for at least 2 weeks to achieve an antianxiety effect and therefore cannot be used on an "as-needed" basis. Beta blockers, medications often used to treat heart conditions and high blood pressure, are sometimes used to control "performance anxiety" when the individual must face a specific stressful situation—a speech, a presentation in class, or an important meeting. Propranolol (Inderal, Inderide) is a commonly used beta blocker. 5. Medications to manage side effects Procyclidine hydrochloride is used in patients with schizophrenia to reduce the side effects of antipsychotic treatment, such as parkinsonism and akathisia MEDICATIONS FOR SPECIAL GROUPS Children, the elderly, and pregnant and nursing women have special concerns and needs when taking psychotherapeutic medications. Some effects of medications on the growing body, the aging body, and the childbearing body are known, but much remains to be learned. Research in these areas is ongoing. 21
  • 22. Working with challenging behaviour Mental illness in a person can lead to behaviour in a service user which from time to time is difficult to deal with by service providers e.g. Non engagement with service providers, over use of alcohol and illicit substances, demotivation, sleep disturbance, eating patterns and so on. This means that organisations that provide services to people with mental illness have to provide guidelines on how to work safely and effectively with service users. Any guideline in working with people with mental illness needs to be underpinned by duty of care which is made up of: Welfare – whatever the staff do has to promote the long term welfare of the service user Support – staff need to provide support now that enables to person to cope with their situation and address disadvantages brought on by mental illness and Protection – ensure that the person with mental illness is supported to protect themselves from abuse In providing services to a person with mental illness who may have complex needs and present challenging behaviour, evidence based practice suggests that staff should use good practice protocols. These protocols need to address individual’s service uses unique needs and situation. A typical protocol would be made up of: • Comprehensive assessment • Risk assessment • Care management arrangement • With key working practice • Appropriate medication • Harm reduction practice • Recovery from mental illness • Rehabilitation • Re-engagement of the community • Relapse prevention The practice in all these areas would be guided by organisations policy and practice as well as knowledge base developed by practitioners and legislation. 22
