Concept Map: The 3Ps and Mental Health Management
Among mental illnesses, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) was the third most common illness worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2008, and it is anticipated that in 2030, it will come at the top (Bains & Abdijadid, 2023). It is marked by various mood, mental, and behavioral signs that result in many cognitive impairments. MDD management involves three factors (3P): psychological, physiological, and pharmacological. This paper is based on the Ivy Jackson case, which has signs of MDD. The concept map will exhibit 3P factors to foster a better comprehension and offer evidence-based intervention for MMD care.
Case Study
Ivy Jackson, a 61-year-old lady, exhibited symptoms of exhaustion, severe sleep deprivation, severe weight loss, and chronic grief and stress following her recent divorce. This encounter made Ivy feel worried, hopeless, and a lack of motivation. Although she has no suicidal thoughts, she reported a poor appetite (losing 10 pounds in weeks), disrupted sleep due to anxiety, and emotional despair, all of which interfere with her daily activities. Her past health history encompasses hypertension, and she has a family history of depression, as her mother and brother had depression. Considering all signs, she was primarily diagnosed with MDD. The Sentinel-U case study is given in Appendix 1.
