Depression, or major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in patients 15-44. It negatively affects the way you think, the way you feel and the way you act towards society. Some symptoms of depression includes feeling sad, trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, feeling worthless and suicidal thoughts. As nurses, its important understand how depression affects the mind and it's reason for onset. " Distinguishing between grief and depression is important and can assist people in getting the help, support or treatment they need." (Torres, 2020). Although, I've never personally treated someone with depression I understand that there are many ways treatment for these patients can go array. Psychotherapy combined with medication suits most depressed patients best, this allows them to decipher their problems and come up with ways to mediate them. Just providing medication without therapy can be one reason a treatment plan is unsuccessful.

Some nursing interventions that could be helpful are encouraging the client to express their feelings, this allows the nurse to further understand their patient and allows the client to deal with overwhelming emotions. Antidepressant are prescribed to patients to help modify brain chemistry, they include SSRI's, TCA's and MAOI's. Overall, I believe that patients who only receive medication without some sort of therapy are not safe, they are a great risk for harming themselves because the medication may promote energy before affecting the mood. Referring patients to a psychiatrist will be in the best interest for the patient.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness marked by extreme shifts in mood. Symptoms can include an extremely elevated mood called mania. They can also include episodes of depression. Bipolar disorder is also known as bipolar disease or manic depression. (Health line, 2018).

People who suffer from this condition find it very frustrating and have a difficult time adjusting to daily life without treatment. They have episodes of mania and depression that can last weeks to months at a time. During the mania phase they are euphoric and do things to maximus level and the opposite during the depression phase.

In order to establish a therapeutic relationship with this type of disorder you have to be open minded and nonjudgmental. This way you can encourage treatment. Helping bipolar disorder patients includes teaching them what to expect during their phases and helping them be compliant with their treatment. Medications they will be on include anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and SSRI’s which will help with treating their symptoms. They should also seek psychotherapy in order to be aware of their disorder.
