Society and even the doctors often declarethem incompetent and start treating them with cruelty and a cold attitude. This book mainlyfocuses on the usefulness of person-centered care. In other words, the patients suffering fromchronic mental disorder need care and emotional support and not only medical support. Doctorsand the other health care staffs must know that just prescribing the patients with medicines mustnot be the main goal of their treatment rather they must make the patient conformable withinterpersonal skills (Widhalm and Prager 2014).

Collaboration to Reduce Tragedy andImprove Outcomes: Law Enforcement, Psychiatry, and People Living With MentalIllness.American Journal of Psychiatry,174(6), pp.513-517. The main attempt of this journal was to show that patients with acute mental illness canbe cured with proper care and support. Emotional support is often much more helpful than thesupport rendered by medicines. This idea was conveyed through the example of a homeless mancalled by the name the street corner saint(Rosenbaum et al 2017). Initially, he was thought to bedangerous for kids and was arrested by police but was found incompetent to respond to the trial.He started responding to the treatment when the police forces and the psychiatrists provided himhelp and emotional support.Anestis, M.D., Anestis, J.C., Zawilinski, L.L., Hopkins, T.A. and Lilienfeld, S.O., 2014.Equine‐related treatments for mental disorders lack empirical support: A systematicreview of empirical investigations.Journal of clinical psychology,70(12), pp.1115-1132.

This treatment mainly involves theinteractions between the patients and the horses. However, this method of treatment is notpopularized yet as there is not much evidence supporting the usefulness of this treatmentprocedure(Anesti et al 2014).Gordon, M., Baker, P., Catchpole, K., Darbyshire, D. and Schocken, D., 2015.

Communication is a very important skill that mustbe developed and maintained by all the healthcare staffs so that they can communicate with thepatients and develop a feeling of trust and respect for a long-term basis(Gordon et al 2015).Poku, M.K., Behkami, N.A. and Bates, D.W., 2017. Patient Relationship Management:What the US Healthcare System Can Learn from Other Industries.Journal of generalinternal medicine,32(1), pp.101-104.This journal mainly emphasizes on the fact that one of essential steps that must befollowed by the doctors in the treatment procedure is maintaining a good relationship with thepatients. The doctors must know and use their interpersonal skills in such a way so that they canmake their patients comfortable with them and can win over their trust in the long run(Poku et
5PUBLIC HEALTHal 2017). The healthcare staffs must start using the PRM tool or the patient relationshipmanagement tool as an important aspect of their treatment processes.Fani, L., Bak, S., Delhanty, P., Van Rossum, E.F.C. and Van Den Akker, E.L.T., 2014.

Though obesity itself is not a life taking disease it can cause much another chronicdisease like high blood pressure and hypertension that can slowly become very much harmful.Hence, the first important steps that the patients must take are to undertake exercise and starteating a healthy diet(Rosario 2017).ELECTRONIC DATABASESUlijaszek, S.J. and McLennan, A.K., 2016. Framing obesity in UK policy from the Blairyears, 1997–2015: the persistence of individualistic approaches despite overwhelmingevidence of societal and economic factors, and the need for collective responsibility.ObesityReviews,17(5), pp.397-411.This database mainly talks about how society often stigmatizes the mentally disabledpeople. As soon as someone is diagnosed with mental illness it greatly affects his social relationsbecause society starts treating him as someone different from the normal group of people andoften abandons him(Ulijaszek and McLennan 2016). This greatly affects the mentally ill patientand he loses his self-confidence. It must be the duty of the society to render emotional support tothe patient and help him to restore normalcy rather than marginalizing him.
