NURS2098: Complex Mental Health, Trauma and Recovery. Complex Mental Health & Recovery 1 NURS2098: Recovery Focused Nursing Care Plan Case Scenario for Cohort B Clinician Role: Case manager: Mental Health Continuing Care Team. Presenting Information: Anjelica (prefers to be called ‘Angie’) is a 23-year-old single female currently admitted as an inpatient on the Hospitals Mental Health Unit where she has been a patient for the past 3/52. Angie was admitted with worsening psychotic symptoms over an 6/52 period in the context of poor compliance with her oral anti-psychotic medication; she states that this was unintentional and puts her increased forgetfulness in this regard down to due to increased stress at home linked to everyone in her family having to self-isolate due to COVID-19; she additionally commented that she wonders if the medication is causing her to lose her memories. She has been re-established on the same oral anti- psychotic medication medication with good effect and you are seeing her today to review her and discuss his discharge plan before she is discharged home in approximately 1-2 weeks’ time. You have been her case manager for the past 9-months; she has been quite well for the first 6-months of that period prior to her becoming non-compliant with her medication. Presenting Mental Health Complaint: Angie reports starting to become increasingly paranoid around 9/52 ago (6/52 prior to her admission); initially she said she started to feel uneasy about the causes of the virus and started to worry that people weren’t be honest about the cause of the virus. She says she withdrew from her family and isolated herself in her room, sleeping during the day and staying up overnight. Whilst awake overnight she started to intercept messages through her iPad from an “Alien Strike Group called the Zysperepeenion” who were spreading COVID-19 an attempt to weaken the human race before a full alien invasion was launched to destroy humanity. She became gradually more preoccupied with this belief until eventually she started to suspect that the ‘Zysperepeenion’ had also infiltrated many governments around the world leading them to participate in spreading the virus in exchange for ‘immunity’ once the invasion started. She stopped eating and drinking (losing 4kg) and taking her medication; and once her family became aware of her relapse they contacted her MH Case Manager (you) and she was subsequently admitted for urgent treatment to stabilise her mental state. NURS2098: Complex Mental Health, Trauma and Recovery. Complex Mental Health & Recovery 2 Mental Health History: Angie reports first being diagnosed with first onset psychosis at the age of 18 when she was undertaking Year 12. She was in the lead up to mid-year exams when she first started to experience hearing voices in the context of Cannabis use [which she reports using to help manage her anxiety due to the stress of Year 12). She had engaged in social use of Cannabis since Year 11 however her use became more regular in Year 12 due to increasing anxiety levels and her being unable to manage these through other more appropriate stress management strategies. At this time, she experienced paranoid ideation, hearing the voices of the Dark Angels who told her she was “The Marked One” and told her that her family were being hunted by Daemons and that she alone could save them. Her mental state deteriorated slowly over a 3-month period as did her performance at school; she became quiet and withdrawn and it wasn’t until later in the year that she started to express floridly psychotic delusional ideas about the Demons that family became concerned and contacted MH Services. She was treated by the local First Onset Psychosis Team and made a good recovery over time in the community. Eventually she was discharged to ongoing treatment via a private psychiatrist and her GP. She was able to return and complete her Year 12 the following Year though she lost many of her friends as a consequence of the episode. Angie remained well for almost 4 years until she experienced a full relapse of symptoms whilst on a trip overseas with her family. On this occasion Angie expressed religious delusions and heard the voice of Jesus commanding her to leave the hotel she was staying in and “tend to the poor”; she left the hotel in the middle of the night and was found the next day lost and wandering the streets of Edinburgh; she was admitted into a Public Inpatient facility there for 8/52 during which she made slow progress. Once well enough she returned to Melbourne, where she was subsequently assigned a Case Manager to oversee her recovery following this episode as she had many residual symptoms that had not fully resolved. She initially made slow but steady progress in the community however this plateaued out after 6 months and whilst she no longer had any positive symptoms her still struggle with motivation, and cognitive functioning. Her compliance with oral medications was reasonable though she had reported a couple of periods where she had forgotten to take her medication “for a couple of days” and had recommenced taking same with encouragement from her parents when they became aware of the NURS2098: Complex Mental Health, Trauma and Recovery. Complex Mental Health & Recovery 3 issue. She had started to engage with a vocational training program through TAFE though she had stopped going after isolation started as she felt that “it was too unsafe; the virus was everywhere and there was no way to avoid it”. Angie reported to avoiding calls and Skype Appointments with her Case Manager (you) as she started to become more unwell; she says “I didn’t know who I could trust: I thought that the Zysperepeenion were everywhere and manipulating everything and I even worried if the MH Team were part of it all”. She also started to worry that one of the effects of the virus was to “wipe out memories to make it easier for them to take us over” and that she started to worry about her own memories. Once admitted Angie was restarted on the same anti-psychotic medication that she had previously been on (as she had responded well to it). She now states that the paranoia has receded over the past fortnight she has experienced ongoing anxiety, feelings of helplessness and worthlessness, as well as feeling overwhelmed by her situation, saying “I’m really worried about going home with the virus getting worse again; I’m not worried about the aliens any more but I am really worried I’ll get it and then who knows what…and what if all this extra stress makes me sick again and I’ll just end up back in here again”. Angie sleeps 8-12 hours per night, and experiences difficulty getting to sleep as she tends to lie in bed worrying about her life and the future of the human race. Her appetite has returned since commencing medication and she reports a weight gain of 2 kilograms in the past 3/52. She eats large meals and usually snacks on top of this. Angie had been contributing to the running of the household prior to her relapse however as she became unwell, she increasingly withdrew into her bedroom. She became increasingly insular and has avoided social contact, tending to avoid those friends and family who have come to call: she states this is for fear of them becoming targeted by the same “Zysperepeenion Hit Squads” who were targeting her. Angie describes few interests or activities outside the home; she had been very social in High School and had been a keen surfer and swimmer before first becoming unwell, however she lost contact with most of the people she knew from these activities once she became unwell. She has been unable to establish a new social circle since then though she is still keen to do so; she has a positive view of herself and states “everyone has some sort of MH issues; mine are a bit more intense but I’ve also got great support to help me out”.

Assignment Main Body:
    CHIME Recovery Process 1:
    The first Recovery Process that can be outlined from the CHIME Conceptual Recovery Framework is Connectedness. In mental health, being connected in positive relationships with other people as well as the entire community is extremely important (Piat et al.,
2017). Remaining connected to other people through the help of building positive relationships can be truly helpful for both mental health as well as physical health and wellbeing. It helps in the process of alleviation of several physical and mental health symptoms as well as builds a positive perspective towards life, in general. People suffering from mental health disorders can establish positive connections with their existing friends as well as family members, thereby cherishing their old bonds. In addition to that, they can also seek new friendships and companionships from other new people.
The numerous benefits of remaining connected to other people are described in this section of the answer. Connectedness will help the people suffering from mental health problems happier by sharing their happiness. Remaining connected to other people also increases the quality of health of the mental health patients (Zulman et al., 2020). Talking and discussing problems and issues helps in reducing instances of anxiety and depression in mental health patients. Staying connected with other people will help in increasing the resilience of mental health patients so that they can overcome different hardships.
    MH Nursing Interventions for the Consumer:
    Intervention 1:
Angie can use the Recovery Process of connectedness to gain the benefits mentioned in the previous section. The first intervention is through the process of connecting with her family and existing friends. For this, she can use several methods. For instance, for improving her connection with her family, she can try to share some meaningful and impactful time with each of her family members. She can engage in a conversation with her parents, Amanda and Jack, where she can discuss her feelings, emotions, problems, or simply, her opinions about different issues. In addition to that, she can engage in an interaction with her siblings, Lauren and Anna by inviting them for an adventurous trip. There they can openly talk about each other, thereby facilitating communication among themselves.
Family is one of the best sources of connection for any person suffering from issues associated with mental health diseases. It is the core pillar of support and trust, which can be extremely beneficial for the patient’s wellbeing (Cree et al., 2018). In this particular case, the family members of Angie have to be present for her so that she can cope up with her problems. This is a continuous process that needs to be undertaken by Angie and her family so that the symptoms of schizophrenia can be avoided effectively.
    Intervention 2:
Support groups as an intervention can be significantly helpful for recovering from mental health issues. In the support groups, patients suffering from mental health disorders seek connections. The support groups are led and guided by trained mental health professionals, psychologists, therapists, social workers, and so on. They help the people by providing them with a sense of identification, which helps them in building resilience so that they can effectively deal with their hardships (Worrall et al., 2018). The patients also develop a notion that sharing problems benefit their mental and physical wellbeing. In addition to that sharing of traumas with other members of the support groups will help them in realizing that they are not alone, other people have been through such traumas. Listening to their stories of successfully overcoming the traumas, the patients will receive reassurance.
Angie can take help from support groups, where members suffering from different kinds of mental disorders will share their feelings and emotions. This will help Angie the confidence to share her own story as well as grief. This will make her feel safe and heard, which will help her cope up with the different symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations, delusions, and so on.
    Intervention 3:
Peer support in the form of one-to-one support can be another helpful and effective means of recovering from the different mental health issues. The patients can talk to the volunteers who have gone through a particular kind of mental health disorder, where there can be an effective interaction and discussion about the...
