Introduction Mrs. Hydilyn Compuesto Esteban is a 39 years old female. She was born on May 13, 1972 in Bulacan. She is a Filipino and a Roman Catholic. She was married to Francisco Esteban and they have 4 children, 3 sons and a daughter. She graduated elementary and has an educational attainment of 2nd year high school. She was residing at Hydro San Mateo, Bulacan before she was admitted in the National Center for Mental Health. Her mother is Maura Lucas and her father is Felix Compuesto. In Bulacan, at a government owned agency where she was working as a vendor, the client stated that she was cooking rice and she forgot to turn off the stove which started the fire. She claimed that it was an accident, but because of the incident she was charged with Criminal Case no. 48-M-2009 (Arson). She was brought by escorts at the forensic psychiatry service of the National Center for Mental Health and was admitted on August 12, 2011 per court order for further evaluation and management. Based on the history, examination and observation, the patient was found to be suffering from psychosis classified as undifferentiated schizophrenia. At present, the patient has remained in unimproved state and is therefore deemed incompetent to stand the rigors of court trial. Upon assessment, the client verbalizes difficulty of sleeping at night wherein she manifested restlessness, irritability, fatigability, anxiety, inability to concentrate, slowed reaction and day time drowsiness. Just like

food and water, adequate sleep is also very essential to the human body. Therefore, I focused on the clients problem of sleep deprivation. Because sleep deprivation leads to such problems like mental impairment and mental health complications. If there is insufficient rest, some of our faculties like the ability to think, stress handling and the maintenance of a healthy immune system are all affected.

Pathophysiology Undifferentiated schizophrenia is a mental disorder which is part of the family of disorders broadly known as schizophrenia. There are a number of subcategories of schizophrenia including paranoid schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia, disorganized schizophrenia, residual schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder; undifferentiated schizophrenia is often defined as a form in which enough symptoms for a diagnosis are present, but the patient does not fall into the catatonic, disorganized, or paranoid subcategories. Schizophrenia is characterized by a lack of grounding in reality, known as psychosis. People in a state of psychosis can experience hallucinations, delusions, and other events in which they break from reality. Individuals with schizophrenia experience psychosis and can also develop symptoms such as disorganized speech, lack of interest in social interactions, a flat affect, inappropriate emotional responses to situations, confusion, and disorganized thinking. Patients with undifferentiated schizophrenia do not experience the paranoia associated with paranoid

schizophrenia, the catatonic state seen in patients with catatonic schizophrenia, or the disorganized thought and expression observed in patients with disorganized schizophrenia. However, they do experience psychosis and a variety of other symptoms associated with schizophrenia, including behavioral changes which may be noticeable to family and friend.

Causes There are many factors that may cause schizophrenia. Scientists are still working on trying to identify all of them. The most common causes of the mental illness are genetic and environmental.

Genetic cause of schizophrenia usually lies in a persons having immediate relatives with a history of schizophrenia or other psychiatric diseases (schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, depression).
C O L L E G E O F N U R SI N G

Some researchers consider schizophrenia to be highly heritable (some estimates are as high as 70%). A recent review of the genetic evidence has suggested a 28% chance of one identical twins developing schizophrenia if the other already has the psychological disorder. The research results list seven genes as likely to be involved in the inheritance of schizophrenia, or the risk of developing the disease. Scientists suggest that multiple chromosomal regions are inherited by, and transmitted to people who are later diagnosed as having schizophrenia.

Environmental cause. There is considerable evidence indicating that stress may trigger episodes of schizophrenia psychosis. For example, emotionally turbulent families and stressful life events have shown to be some of the risk factors for the relapses or triggers of schizophrenia episodes. Abuse as a child and early traumatic experience are also among the risk factors for developing schizophrenia later in life.

Factors such as poverty and discrimination may also be involved in increasing the risk of having a schizophrenic episode due to the high levels of stress that these lifestyles harbor. The "social drift hypothesis" suggests that people affected by schizophrenia may be less able to hold steady, demanding, or high-paying jobs. As a result, low income and problems increase stress levels and leave such people susceptible to lapsing into a schizophrenic episode. Signs and Symptoms Schizophrenia symptoms are divided into positive and negative according to their impact on treatment and diagnosis. Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia Positive schizophrenia symptoms are caused by an excess or distortion of normal functions.

The diagnosis of schizophrenia requires observing two or more positive symptoms for at least a month. If hallucinations or delusions are very intense, they alone are enough to justify a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The positive symptoms of schizophrenia include:

Delusions. Delusions are inflexible misleading beliefs. They appear as a result of exaggerations or distortions of reasoning, as well as false interpretations of things and events. For example, one can think that some book was written especially for him/her.

Hallucinations. Hallucinations are exaggerations or distortions of senses. Auditory hallucinations, when one can hear non-existent imaginary sounds, especially voices, are the most widely observed.

Disorganized speech/thinking. This symptom is usually assessed based on the persons speech. Disorganized thinking that results in disorganized, improperly associated, or inconsistent speech and poor communication abilities is a sign of the thought disorder.
C O L L E G E O F N U R SI N G

Disorganized behavior. This type of schizophrenic behavior is expressed when a person has difficulty performing everyday actions and activities. The individuals behavior is unpredictable, silly, or strange; the odd behavior is usually caused by delusional beliefs.

Catatonic behavior describes a lack of reaction to the external stimuli or events. Catatonic behavior includes absence of any reaction,

Our Lady of Fatima University

inactivity, rigid and strange postures as a reaction to an external stimulus. Other symptoms of schizophrenia are less common and when seen alone, these symptoms are not sufficient to diagnose schizophrenia. They include inappropriate reactions to a situation or stimuli, unusual motor behavior (inane pacing or rocking), depersonalization, derealization, and somatic preoccupations. Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia Negative schizophrenia symptoms are those that reflect a decrease in normal functions, or a loss of them. They may be observed in the lives of people with schizophrenia during the periods when positive symptoms are absent or poorly expressed. Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are difficult to evaluate because they are not as apparent or as "abnormal" as positive symptoms.

Affective flattening is usually expressed by the absence or reduction of emotional expression, such as mimicry, voice tone, eye contact and body language.

Alogia is present when a person speaks very little and unproductively, or gives short and meaningless replies to questions due to slow or blocked thinking processes.

Avolition is the absence of goal-oriented behavior. A person loses interest to the surrounding world, doesn't do anything, and sits doing nothing for long periods of time.

The symptoms of schizophrenia may be controlled with cognitive therapy intervention and medication that varies in price and individual effectiveness.

History On her 11th HD the patient was referred to the female medical infirmary because of the Physical Examination finding upon admission of an anterior neck mass. She was examined by the surgical and medical infirmary section and ordered the following workup Ft3, Ft4, TSI 1, Thyroid scan. She had a 3x2x5 cm nodular anterior neck mass that moves with deglutition and was goiterous in origin. Thereafter she was diagnosed to have a Nodular Goiter. Clients medication were Clozapine, Chlorpromazine and Fluphenazine Decanoate. Clozapine is an anti-psychotic medication that works by blocking receptors in the brain for several neurotransmitters (chemicals that nerves use to communicate with each other) including dopamine type 4 receptors, serotonin type 2 receptors, norepinephrine receptors, acetylcholine

receptors, and histamine receptors. Unlike traditional anti-psychotic agents, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and haloperidol (Haldol) as well as the newer anti-psychotics, risperidone (Risperdal) and olanzapine (Zyprexa), clozapine only weakly blocks dopamine type 2 receptors. Clozapine is use in the management of psychotic disorders including schizophrenia. Because of concern for the side effect of agranulocytosis (see side effects), clozapine should be reserved for patients who have failed to respond to other standard medications or who are at risk for recurring suicidal behavior. Chlorpromazine is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, manic phase of bipolar disorder, severe behavioral problems in children). Chlorpromazine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It can reduce aggressive behavior and the desire to hurt yourself/others. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). Chlorpromazine is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called phenothiazine antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. Chlorpromazine is also used to control nausea/vomiting, relieve prolonged hiccups, relieve restlessness/anxiety before surgery, and help treat tetanus. Fluphenazine decanoate belongs to the family of medications known as antipsychotics, more specifically, the phenothiazines. This medication is used to treat schizophrenia. It is thought to work by reducing dopamine (a chemical messenger) in certain areas of the brain. The effects of this

medication on symptoms of schizophrenia begin to appear within 48 to 96 hours after being injected.

Related Treatment Since schizophrenia may not be a single condition and its causes are not yet known, current treatment methods are based on both clinical research and experience. These approaches are chosen on the basis of their ability to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia and to lessen the chances that symptoms will return. Some available medications for treating schizophrenia are: chlorpromazine (Thorazine) clozapine (Clozaril) haloperidol (Haldol) risperidone (Risperdal) olanzapine (Zyprexa) quetiapine (Seroquel) aripiprazole (Abilify) Antipsychotics medications reduce the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia and usually allow the patient to function more effectively and appropriately. Antipsychotic drugs are the best treatment now available, but they do not cure schizophrenia or ensure that there will be no further psychotic episodes. The large majority of people with schizophrenia show substantial improvement when treated with antipsychotic drugs.

Sometimes when people with schizophrenia become depressed, other symptoms can appear to worsen. The symptoms may improve with the addition of an antidepressant medication.

Rehabilitation Rehabilitation programs may include vocational counseling, job training, problem-solving and money management skills, use of public transportation, and social skills training. These approaches are important for the success of the community-centered treatment of schizophrenia Individual Psychotherapy Individual psychotherapy involves regularly scheduled talks between the patient and a mental health professional such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatric social worker, or nurse. Recent studies indicate that supportive, reality-oriented, individual psychotherapy, and cognitivebehavioral approaches that teach coping and problem-solving skills, can be beneficial for outpatients with schizophrenia. However, psychotherapy is not a substitute for antipsychotic medication, and it is most helpful once drug treatment first has relieved a patients psychotic symptoms. Family Education

C O L L E G E O F N U R SI N G

Our Lady of Fatima University

Psychiatric Nursing

Very often, patients with schizophrenia are discharged from the hospital into the care of their family; so it is important that family members learn all they can about schizophrenia and understand the difficulties and problems associated with the illness.

Self-Help Groups Family and peer support and advocacy groups are very active and provide useful information and assistance for patients and families of patients with schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

Recommendations She is advised to take part in complying with the treatment; the medication and therapeutic regimen designed for his rehabilitation. She should realize the importance of complying with her medication and the benefits this practice would bring to the improvement of his well-being. Because recovery from schizophrenia is a lifelong process. It doesnt mean she wont experience any more challenges from the illness or that shell always be symptom-free. What it does mean is that she is continuing to work toward her goals, learning to manage symptoms, developing the support needed, and creating a satisfying, purpose-driven life. Successful treatment for schizophrenia aims to relieve current symptoms, prevent future psychotic episodes, and restore the ability to function and enjoy a meaningful life. A treatment plan that combines medication with supportive services and therapy is the most effective approach.

Interpretation In a fast rate of music, the patient drew two houses, inside each house she drew a person. And behind the two house she drew three mountains and a sun rising/setting in it. She also drew two birds and fences for the two house. She said that these two house represent their house in Bulacan. While the person inside the house was her and her husband. When she was asked on what was the meaning of her drawing, she said that she drew the house and her husband because she wants to be with her family and she misses her husband.

House interpretations are loosely based on research and on the symbolic meaning of the aspects of the house. They should hopefully be nurturing places with normal levels of detail and normal size. Too little and the client may reject family life; too big and they may be overwhelmed by it. Lines and walls represent boundaries and strengths of the ego, thus weak lines in the structure of the house are weaknesses in the ego, while strong lines are problems with anxiety and a need to reinforce boundaries. The roof symbolizes the fantasy life, and extra attention to it can indicate extra attention to fantasy and ideation, while incomplete, tiny, or burning roofs can indicate avoidance of overpowering and frightening fantasies (think about

fears of ghosts in the attic - these are based on the association for us). Windows, doors, and sidewalks are all ways that others enter or see into the house, so they relate to openness, willingness to interact with others, and ideas about the environment. Thus, shades, shutters, bars, curtains, and long and winding sidewalks indicate some unwillingness to reveal much about yourself (think about expression like windows to the soul or the door to the mind). Open doors or many windows could mean strong needs to engage others. Psychotics tends to show groundlines (their need for grounding), clear visions of the insides of the house (they believe their thoughts and mind are open to view by others), strange angles (like their strange thought processes), or a house on the verge of a collapse (like their ego). The patient used the color pink to drew the house, the fences, the birds, the mountains and the sun. Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour. Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance. The patient used color blue for the person inside each of the house. Blue is the color of the sky and of the sea. It is associated with depth and stability, and the ideas of wonder, freedom and dreams. It symbolizes
C O L L E G E O F N U R SI N G

Our Lady of Fatima University

wisdom, confidence, intelligence, trust, loyalty, faith and truth. Calm, relaxing and transparent, blue inspires a sense of peacefulness and relaxation. Blue slows the human metabolism and creates an atmosphere of tranquility. Blue brings beneficial effects to the mind and body.

Interpretation In a slow rate of music, the patient drew a coconut tree. She also drew a heart on the left and on the right side of the of the coconut tree. She said that there are many coconut trees in her hometown at Bulacan thats why she drew a coconut tree. While the two hearts represents her mother and her. The patient used the color brown in drawing the coconut tree. People who prefer brown are often conventional and orderly. The negative meaning of brown can be a repressed personality or a lazy person. Brown is the color of the earth and is associated with the material side of life. Brown gives a feeling of solidity, and allows one to stay in the background, unnoticed. Some shades of brown create a warm, comfortable feeling of wholesomeness, naturalness and dependability.
C O L L E G E O F N U R SI N G

Our Lady of Fatima University

The patient used the color red in drawing the hearts. Red is the warmest of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts. On the negative side red can mean temper or anger. Red is the color of Mars. This planet is known as the God of War. Red is associated with fiery heat and warmth. It can also mean danger (burning). Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival. Red is also the color of passion and lust.
