#1 On discussing
the issues with
Jack, a short-
term goal for
Jack was
decided.
The first goal is
to bring his
paranoia under
control to
ensure that he
can carry out his
everyday
activities
without
interruption and
bring his life
back on a
healthy flow.
The aim is to
make Jack self-
dependent and
lower his
symptoms.
It has been seen that Jack is
suffering from continuous
paranoia, which is making him
unable to talk to anyone freely
about his problems and what
exactly he is experiencing. His
paranoia is taking over his life as
he fears that the ‘warlords’ are
after him. It has been seen that
many adult men diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia face
problems with activities of daily
living, which includes complying
with medication (Samuel, Thomas
& Jacob, 2018). He has distanced
himself from his family and is
overeating. Binge eating has been
seen to be a manifestation of
paranoid schizophrenia as well
(Sreeraj et al., 2018). So it can be
understood that he has already
given in to many of the effects, and
these may be his weakness.
However, Jack has said that he
would never commit suicide as he
would never do that to his family.
This shows that he is ready to fight
his disease and control it as much
as possible. It is obvious that he
will need more help at first and a
There are many interventions that can
help with auditory and visual
therapies. One of them is Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy. It has been
seen that this has proven helpful in
combating auditory hallucinations
(Pontillo et al., 2016).
The recovery model of mental health
states that the main intervention
should be based on the support of the
healthcare professionals as well as
encouraging social support for the
patients (Jacob, 2015). So Jack’s
parents must be involved in the
process and educated on how to
support him. As Jack has conveyed,
they are already very supportive of
him and his problems; thus, this
should be easy to do. It has been
observed that family interventions
result in much better patient
outcomes in mental healthcare
settings. It has been especially helpful
in the case of schizophrenia patients
(Caqueo-Urízar et al., 2015). It is
important to make Jack feel that
everyone in his family is here to
support him. He has reported feeling
hopeless, so this is very important for
him.
The Registered Nurse
and the Caregivers are
primarily responsible for
helping him with this.
Apart from that, his
family is also responsible
for helping him through
this.
