This will appear like they are losing their mind. The fears are often reinforced through negative aspects which often mental people have shown. The common mental problems include depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In the case study is patient Jeremy Oaxley. He was one of the best talented singers and song writers in early 1980s. He was performing on a high rock band, The SunnyBoys. He was the brand wagon of the band steering to greater heights. As the force behind the band, Jeremy went high into his performances, running from shows to shows in a bid to lift his image. As this hustle went on, Jeremy was shrouded with stress to deliver, and ended up being at the periphery on lonely horror. He was consumed by paranoia and encountered disturbing thoughts. He was so concerned about his brother Peter and was so muchprotective on him. Jeremy with life of solitude and depression ended up being a victim of alcoholism. With dire denial of his disease state, Jeremy refused to accept medications and refused to accept that he has mental disease. His life became so miserable. When he tried to flash back how his audiences adored him for his music, he always ended up in conflicting emotions. He kept himself in solitude life and often became arrogant and annoyed easily due tothe disease state. He chose to live alone and drifted from the people. His life became unpredictable, unmanageable for his family. Despite the medication mental health disease, Jeremy had also encountered diabetes and obesity which he was receiving medications for. With the double burden of his disease he started to blame everyone for his predicaments, with acts of self denial and lack of acceptance for his diseases state. Factors affecting mental health diseaseMental health problems often have an effect on the way people feel, think and behave. The state of mental health always brings bad feeling which you can’t see but observe through the behavioural behaviour of the patients, (McMahon et al 2013).

Recovery process is often relied upon factors which affect the disease. Mental diagnosis can be affected any cultural, social and development factors which hinders its management, (Nordmyr et al 2014).Cultural factorsCulture often refers to a state of shared beliefs, norms and values.

Cultural influences and societal influences have an effect on mental health care approach. Culture and social contextual nature often shapes the mental health of minorities and available mental health priorities available. The misunderstandings often found in culture among the care providers often deters access of health services and access and utilization of care and preventing them from adequate care provision, (Bjereld et al 2015).

These burdens depend on the magnitude of schizophrenia for patient Jeremy.
