The analysis begins with a Mental State Examination (MSE), highlighting behavioral observations and insights into Lucinda's feelings of guilt, anxiety, and concerns about her role as a mother, referencing the DSM V criteria for depression. It then explores the Stress Vulnerability Model, identifying her traumatic past pregnancy and feelings of inadequacy as key stressors. The study also emphasizes the lack of family support as a contributing factor. Finally, the analysis outlines a recovery plan based on the principles of hope, empowerment, and respect, as well as the importance of patient involvement and self-determination. The plan suggests strategies to support Lucinda's choices and encourage active participation in her recovery process.
