This Nursing Seminar informs all nurses about understanding mental illness. It describes and identifies psychotic illnesses and affective disorders. Sessions entitled sick bodies and fragmenting minds and establishing and sustaining therapeutic relationships describe psychiatric conditions and their nursing care. Strategies in managing bizarre, troubled, and challenging behaviours are given.

Describing depression as the black dog, internalised stressors and emotions are discussed. Risk assessment and ways to care for people who are suicidal are explored. Drug and alcohol addiction along with substance abuse are described. The session looking beyond the plaques and tangles gives insight into holistic and psychodynamic therapeutic relationships of people with dementia. Medical model approaches, medications and ECT are also covered in this outstanding nurses education event.

I know that when people tried to help me with my problems I turned away at first and got angry. I think most people do that at first, but I know if my friend gets angry I will lose her, what should I do?
