Andy's Hallucinations
Andy,
You and I have similar views on Andy regarding his appearance and his calm demeanor. I also agree Andy engaged in good eye contact throughout the session but I also noticed how he would scan the room at times which the counselor was able to pick up on and ask him about it. I also mentioned Andy delusional thoughts in regard to his roommates planting a chip in his head and believing his roommates are out to hurt him. I also agree with Andy’s hallucinations in which he is hearing voices which he believe is his roommates plotting against him. One point you mentioned in your post which is Andy isolating himself in his room. The isolation can be feeding his hallucinations and delusional thoughts. Thanks for you post.

    Bill's Schizophrenia Case Study

    I believe Bill’s schizophrenia was not recognized immediately because he had comorbid disorder. Bill was also exhibiting a learning disability, and depression. It may also have not been recognized because the onset was difficult to detect. The symptoms seemed to be confused with violent aggression. The ones around him may only observed the behaviors they could physically see and Bill probably at a young age had difficulty explaining what was happening to him.…

    John Nash Schizophrenia Case Study

    The DSM/Medical Model could have been more helpful in the present day if a good psychiatrist and a social worker put the needs of John Nash as a human being first instead of dealing with him as just a number as patients were treated in the Trenton Hospital. The social aspect was absent in the treatment that was followed by the hospitals he was committed to. Nash was able to get support from his family, friends and wife, who I think, along with him as well, were great factors in his overcoming this illness. Nowadays, the social context is considered more in the treatment in the DSM Model and a good psychiatrist would have taken that into his consideration.…
