2NURSINGMental health nursing focuses on the different strategies implemented for achievingrecovery of the patient as per the individual needs determined. Recovery in this context is acomplex and multifaceted process and needs to be understood by analysing the differentdimension of it. It involves the improvement in health and wellness and living a self-directedlife. Personal and clinical recovery methods reflect uniting factors utilised in combinationwith each other for providing the best outcomes for the patient (Townsend, 2014). Thepresent would incorporate the National Recovery Framework and Principles to explore thelived experience of mental health problems of Jeremy Oxley due to schizophrenia as depictedin the documentary ‘SunnyBoys’. The essay would first describe the lived experiences ofmental illness of Jeremy. It would then investigate the implications for personal recovery asperceived from both the patient and caregiver’s viewpoint. Examples from the video wouldbe drawn upon to support the principles documented in the literature. The present video is on the lives experience of Jeremy Oxley who is a band memberof the famous Australian pop-band The Sunnyboys. The mental health problem he had beensuffering from is schizophrenia, and his journey of recovering from it is remarkable in itself.The strength and courage that he had shown had been incredible. At the early age of 18 years,Jeremy was one of the most talented songwriters and singers in Australia. He achieved theheights of success along with his brother Peter who was also a member of the same band.Common to the music industry, he could not cope up with the pressure of taking part inrelentless touring and other tasks. He subsequently suffered mental and physical burnout. Thestress was responsible for triggering schizophrenia. He had started having disturbing thoughtsthat compelled him to take refuge of alcohol and drugs. The band split after Jeremy refusedmedical treatment (edutv.informit.com.au., 2013). Jeremy had consistently denied that he was suffering from schizophrenia, making thesituation more difficult for him and other individuals in a social relationship with him.
3NURSINGJeremy has constantly been focusing on the fact that life is what a person makes it. Accordingto Fortinash and Worret (2014), it is difficult for a person suffering from a mental illness toaccept the fact that he needs medication management and rehabilitation for overcoming themental disorder. Jeremy has seen to develop a lack of insight into the medical condition hewas suffering from. As highlighted by Morrison-Valfre (2016) lack of insight leads a personto avoid treatment in case of mental health This is commonly in conjunct with mania orpsychosis that leads to undesirable behaviour and recklessness. It is mentioned in the videothat Jeremy became a complex person and was scared of what was happening around him. Itwas difficult for him to come to terms with the environment in which he was living. After aconsiderable time frame when he was referred to as a lively and vibrant person, the articleswritten on the social platform had him down and out. The fact that the wider audience likedhis brother more than him and that he was thought to be arrogant went against his chances ofrecovery. Jeremy has been found to suffer from auditory hallucinations, wherein he couldfalsely hear her mother and her brother in their absence. The phenomenological complexityof auditory hallucinations has been well established in the literature. The frequency ofsymptoms might be fluctuating during the illness. The prime factor that is responsible fordetermining whether such hallucination is a key feature of the clinical condition is the extentof interference with mental activities (Paillère‐Martinot et al., 2017). Recovery from schizophrenia is a personal process of bringing about changes in theskills, goals, feelings and attitudes of the patient suffering from the illness. The aim is to livea satisfying and hopeful life even if there are limitations. Since schizophrenia is a complexdisorder, the recovery needs to be multidimensional, and the approach must be addressing thepersonal perceptions of the patient. The treatment needs to incorporate education and training
