Question.1a). As per the case study Chung had been suffering from
anxiety and depression which is one of the symptoms of panic disorder.
Chung had been suffering from emotional turmoil due to both his
professional and his personal life. He had been suffering from cultural shock
since she had visited China and even could not bring his parents on his
wedding. He had been through professional ups and the downs due to the
legal proceeding for one of his mistakes. Furthermore, the post pregnancy
complications of his wife have exacerbated anxiety and depression the
patient. Chung had been experiencing shortness of breath, hopelessness and
suicidal feeling which is a clinical manifestation of anxiety. Absence of
proper circadian cycle or sleep cycle have also been found to be the reason
of anxiety (Asghari et al., 2014).
Question 1. b) Although antidepressants are effective in treating the
depressive symptoms of the disease but medications might be used in
severe cases. In this case talk therapy can be used to treat panic disorder in
Chung. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a type of talk therapy that is suitable
to treat anxiety and depression in patients. This helps the patients by
changing the way they think and behave and helps to boost the happiness
by the modification of the dysfunctional emotions and behaviors. A CBT can
be provided by this community nurse or can be recommended to a
psychotherapist.
