Treating Depression
“Many doctors have similar views in this regard; even the world’s greatest psychiatrists have fundamentally different views on depression” (Lachowicz and McManus, 2003, p.41).
Suicide among patients with depression has continued to rise year after year. One way to get depressed individuals to get out of this self-destruction is to know what is going on. Analyzing where you got depressed and why would give you the answers to your problems. In some ways, diagnosing people with depression has been taught in school.
Others have come to get doctors to diagnose them by themselves. In some cases, or for that matter even practitioners, have been convicted of physician-assisted suicide (Lachowicz and McManus, 2003, p. 45).
Again, Dr. Gutsway came back with a suicide intervention program. Dr. Gutsway and his colleagues, in a class whose curriculum design incorporates communications theory, do a diagnosis of the features of depression.
To complete the process, patients go over questions about themselves, their friends, and their family. At the end of the first session, participants report to their doctor and check in to be seen again for follow-up sessions (Dr. Gutsway, 2016, p.23).
The answers to any psycho-emotional questions about self, friends, and family are recorded in questionnaires that Dr. Gutsway and his colleagues used to sort through data.
From each case, they generate three case studies, each with three questions asking for a field of insight into the patient’s past, present, and future mood.
Part of the information gained by gathering such detail is that research will demonstrate that depressive people are indeed human, or, at least, are capable of considering and using a spectrum of psychological factors.
Dr. Gutsway can better diagnose and treat depression by asking specific clinical questions about a patient’s history and why it makes them feel as they do.
For example, can severe depression result from childhood social or economic deprivation? Is it due to early family death, divorce, a childhood illness, or different kinds of maltreatment? (Dr. Gutsway, 2016, p.24).
After the doctor has a look at the case histories, it is possible to determine how Dr. Gutsway could cure the disease. Could it be that she should see if the overacting patients could perhaps get through their treatment? Does it have to do with social or financial deprivation? (Dr. Gutsway, 2016, p.30).
The answer, of course, is “none”. Of course, with each case, he hopes to discover something useful for his patient. The results of this research are then used to improve the system of healing.
For example, Dr. Gutsway can improve the finding of depression in one of his patient's cases through a developed bedside screen. The bedside screen would use electroencephalography to record their brain activity, an algorithm to analyze how well the victim is healing (Dr. Gutsway, 2016, p.25).
