Mental Health Care
← Vitamin Supplement and Improved Health | Effects of Fast Food on Health → |
Health care is an important element in the life of any individual. Access to medical services not only provides one with a sense of well being, but prevents any fatalities arising from medical emergencies. Preventable ailments can be diagnosed and treated thus reducing the cost and effects of treating a full blown illness. Primary health care is the most available form of medical attention received by most patients.
Mental health care has only recently been underscored. There are very few specialists who deal with mental health. Most people who visit medical facilities do so when their physical health deteriorates. However, very little attention is paid to mental health. Mental illnesses are hard to diagnose and therefore largely go untreated. Even when diagnosed there are very few specialists to tackle the issue and limited access to drugs as well as care.
Primary health care concentrates mainly on the physical attributes of medicine such as diagnosis, treatment, dressing and surgery. The psychological part of the health and other social parts are glazed over and therefore there is a great likelihood that factors affecting the psyche of an individual are easy to miss.
The task of dealing with mental health care rests majorly with primary health care providers. This however according to the medical profession is beyond their scope and steps are being taken to integrate mental health care into primary care.
There are several barriers for patients seeking mental health care. These include stigma, shortage of mental health service providers, misdiagnosis, cost, lack of information on mental illnesses among others. Insurance companies are also reluctant to take in people with chronic illness. Substance abuse also leads to or aggravates mental illness.
Stigma associated with mental illness is a major deterrent in mental health care. Parents with children who exhibit symptoms of mental illness are reluctant to seek medical attention. Some may cite expensive costs as the reason but most ignore the signs and chalk it down to children’s illnesses and tendencies to be truant. Research shows that about fourteen to twenty per cent of adolescents and children have mental illness but only one in four of these is diagnosed and treated. Stigma is more widespread in rural areas. The low self esteem associated with mental illness deters people from seeking medical attention. Addressing the problem at an early age will reduce greatly the number of adults suffering from mental illness. The government should conduct clinics to educate the communities about the importance of mental health and encourage them to seek medical attention should they detect any of the symptoms.
The number of mental health service providers is greatly limited as compared to the number of people who require their services. Only psychiatrist and advance practice nurses can prescribe medication for mental illness. Fewer hours than are required per patient per illness are grossly limited. Solutions to this problem include offering scholarships and perks to make the profession more lucrative to young professionals joining the medical profession.
Another difficulty in mental health care is the difficulty in relating physical illnesses and mental illness. Primary healthcare concentrates on physical health. A person suffering physical illness may not associate the symptoms as part of a mental illness. This will lead to a long incubation period before diagnosis which probably aggravates the illness.
Cost is a major restraint in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Primary healthcare is considered affordable and the underserved citizens can access it. On the other hand mental health is more difficult to access since there are very few specialists and who have limited time to deal with the large number of patients.
Substance abuse may lead to or aggravate the risk of mental illness. Seventy per cent of people who visit primary healthcare facilities either have suffered drug addiction which led to mental illness. Others suffer withdrawal symptoms after they have experimented with drugs. The depression leads to suicidal tendencies and other serious illnesses. Treating these comorbidities proves a great challenge.

I submitted my order as a ‘rush order’. I only had 2 days to get my paper finished and I just felt like I was sinking. I didn’t understand the material I was writing about, and I didn’t know what I was going to do. My friend recommended EssaysEmpire.com. I had very little lost by attempting to use this writing service, so I did. It was an excellent move on my part, because, not only was my paper finished on time. It was also excellently written. I will always be grateful to my friend for recommending your service. It is wonderful. |

You’ve done it again! Every time I order a paper from EssaysEmpire.com, you top the last one. This latest one was the best yet. I truly do appreciate the fact that you offer such high quality writing. It never fails. With some of the other writing services online, you ever really know what you are going to get. Sometimes, they just sell you a paper that someone else has already bought. I never have to worry about things like that happening when I use EssaysEmpire.com. |

The topic for my assigned essay was very intense. It involved a lot of research and knowledge of the subject. The writer who took care of it for me seemed to be a real expert. I found that so impressive! I just had to drop a line to let you know how much I appreciated the work he did. |

So often, when one deals with customer service, he or she is treated rudely. That was not the case with EssaysEmpire.com. The agents were helpful and friendly, knowledable and concerned. I, for one, was astounded with their competence. When it came down to the actual written material that I ordered, it was much better than I had anticipated. There are clearly some expert writers who work for EssaysEmpire.com. I would rate this writing service as exceptional, 5 stars out of 5 stars. I will happily return when I need help with another written work. |

Thanks to EssaysEmpire.com, I was able to keep my GPA up and will be graduating soon. I really needed assistance with my writing. I aced everything else, but I have always had problems expressing myself in writing. The writers at EssaysEmpire.com took the ball and ran with it! Because of them, I am going to graduate. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of the valuable assistance. |

I was quite satisfied with the results of my paper order. EssaysEmpire.com sure has some good writers! I thought it might just be some college kids who were writing in their spare time to earn some extra bucks. No! EssaysEmpire.com hires legitimate writers. They all seem to be well educated and intelligent, too. My paper was terrific! |

Dear Sirs: I have just placed my third order from EssaysEmpire.com this term. I feel confident that my paper will be written on time and that the quality of it will be out of the ballpark. The first two papers I ordered from you got A+ marks, and I know this one will, too. It is so great to be able to sit back and concern myself with my reading and exams while you do the difficult writing projects for me. That is really great. You guys are a class act! |

Today was the perfect day to make an A+! It convinced me that there are solutions to problems that seem impossible to solve. When I realized that the due date for my paper was coming up quickly, I felt like there was nothing I could do. If I didn’t hand in my paper on time, I would get an F and fail the course. However, I had to study for 3 major exams and write two other papers. My roommate suggested that I turn the paper over to you guys, which I did, and voila! I got an A+ on it and the problem was solved. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com and to your writers and staff. You are a great writing service. |

I don’t see how anyone could write a paper about something as boring as the psychology of the two year old, could make it sound so interesting, but your writers managed to pull it off. Thank you for putting forth such a concerted effort to do a good job. I really appreciate it. I will use your service again |
