Mental Health Tips for the Mentally Challenged

Mental health is all about striking a balance between life difficulties and using life opportunities as a way for development. Mental power is a function of creating good things out of life; it is also a vehicle that propels us to imbibe the spirit of hopes and aspiration. It has a lot of relationship with our life pattern; therefore it is more than illness. Mental health issues may mean an increased risk of drug abuse, over consumption of alcohol, smoking and poor diet.

The symptoms of mental health comes in form of persistent sad, anxiety, mood agitation, irritability, restlessness, moody and total withdrawal from community, worthlessness, helplessness, headache, overuse of alcohol and many more. Stress, depression and panic attacks are common conditions and they can be treated successfully. Stress plays a very important role in mental health, but many people are ignorant of the facts that it is a life threatening diseases. Therefore many scientists believed that a positive approach to life can offset the physical and mental effects of dealing with negative events in life.

Mental health is more that a mere absence of mental illness, because some mental health problems are not noticeable, but the symptoms can be recognised. It takes the right combination of medications, psychotherapy and full participation of patients who must be made to choose positive choices before a reasonable level of treatments could be achieved.

Families with any untreated issues of mental health should try as much as possible to engage the service of a doctor; otherwise it might degenerate into another severe case of mental disorder.

Mental health disorder should not be treated lightly because condoning it may result to another contagious disease, information are available everywhere about the treatments of mental health. Stigmas associated with mental health are reducing everyday because of abundant information that is available; therefore, if people seeks that right channel as far as mental health is concerned, they are most likely to live a very healthy life.

Mental Health Facilities Abuse Exposed

On February 6, 2002, Matthew Goodman died due to an alleged abused committed by mental health practitioners. His awful story starts when he was diagnosed with autism when he was still a toddler. When he was nine years old, Matthew was put under a residential program run by Bancroft Neurohealth Inc.

Goodman died at a nearby hospital due to acute respiratory distress, pneumonia and blood infection. His parents alleged that excessive use of restraints and improper medication when he was still at the mental health institution caused the weakening of his immune system. Further, his parents cited evidence that Matthew was put in restraints for hours at a time or, worse, even overnight. They also cited medical report showing the lost of 23 pounds by Matthew in his last six days.

An official investigation concluded that Matthew had been abused and neglected a month before he died. However, the investigation said that the mistreatment he received at the mental health institution did not cause his death.

The story above is just one of the horrible stories that happen in mental health facilities. We know that most employees in mental health facilities are kind and conscientious professionals who perform their jobs seriously and do their best to look for the welfare of their residents. We must also know only a small percentage of mental health professionals take advantage of and abuse patients.

What must be done when mental health facilities abuse takes place?

Abuse that takes place against a resident or a patient is illegal. A relative or a representative of an abused resident has the right to file a lawsuit against a specific mental health practitioner/ staff member and /or the mental health facility. A medical malpractice lawsuit might arise because mental health facilities are considered medical facilities.

Conviction in a medical malpractice case entails a rigorous legal process. In order to prevail in this type of legal case, the plaintiff must prove that:

The mental health facility owed a duty of care to the patient or residents as mental health facilities evidently owe a duty to take care of its residents and this is usually unproblematic to establish. The mental health facility committed a breach of its duty of care by neglecting to act like a reasonable mental health facility, or a personnel of a mental health facility, would have done given such situation. If the plaintiff can show that abuse occurred in mental health facility then it is likely that the plaintiff has a strong case. The actions of the facility or its personnel caused the resident or patient to sustain injuries. The plaintiff must prove beyond a shadow of uncertainty that the residents sustained injuries brought upon him or her by the facility or its personnel. The plaintiff is entitled to damages ensued by such abuse as a matter of law

In addition, allegations like breach of contract may also be filed by the plaintiff and criminal law charges may be filed by the state. Medical malpractice involving mental health facilities abuse entails the use of expert witnesses and complicated evidence. This is also a very personal area of the law that involves sensitivity and open communication.
